The show WandaVison is now out on Disney +.

Wandavison, the newest series on Disney+, is making people wish that all the episodes would be released at once and not weekly.
Wandavison has an interesting plot that keeps getting weirder. The Slash-Film website said, “The Marvel series begins like no other project we’ve seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer explained, ‘something isn’t quite right here. After all, Vision died in Avengers: Infinity War (twice, actually), so how is this possible?’”

One of the best features about Wandavison is that in every episode the scene is set in different decades. From the ‘60s and ‘70s episodes in black and white, to ‘80s episodes in color, to the ‘90s episode calling back to Malcolm in the Middle, Wandavision references how TV was throughout the decades.

Another great aspect about Wandavison is that the director references old Marvel movies and TV shows. In each episode, there are fake commercials with references to previous movies that make fun of different items such as yogurt or watches or even toasters from that time the episode is set in.

The show starts off slow but as it gets deeper into the season the show keeps getting crazier and crazier as Wanda uses her powers to keep the civilians of Westview inside the town under her control.

The show also brings back familiar faces such as Darsey Lewis and Jimmy Woo, potentially setting up future series with them. Their roles in Wandavision give viewers extra laughs and show what is going. Since Darcey is a scientist she can explain what is happening to the characters and she found a broadcast that was being streamed by Wanda from Westview and since she found the broadcast, Darcey was able give everyone a visual about what is going on in Westview.

Wanda brings back her husband Vision, and erases his memory. However, Vison died in Avengers Infinity War after Thanos ripped the mind stone out of his head. Fans are wondering how Wanda brought Vision back and why she erased his memory.
We have seen S.W.O.R.D agent Monica Rambeau before in Marvel. She was the little girl in the movie Captain Marvel. The weird thing is that in the movie she is Captain Marvel’s biggest fan. But in this show, she seems to not be so fond of Captain Marvel, which has a lot of fans wondering why.

Agent Heyward, the head of S.W.O.R.D, has a name that is an anagram that can be rearranged to Agent Hydra. Why is this significant? Because Hydra is one the biggest villains in the Marvel universe. So be on the lookout for that and remember “Heil Hydra.”

If you have read all of the Marvel Comic books then you may have an idea of what is going to happen. This show is based on the comic “Scarlet Witch” and if they decide to follow the storyline of the comic for the ending then… Well, I’m not here to spoil anything.

I would 100% recommend this show. Watch it on Disney+ during quarantine.
