Edmilson 7,432 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Episode 4 of WandaVision was quite good, although I missed the sitcom hijinks of the first 3 episodes. And it was nice that they brought Kat Dennings back after Thor 2. Yavar Moradi and Once 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 It's a legitimate question. 'Fun' doesn't necessarily means 'funny'. I would truly surprise me if someone would be rolling over the floor with WandaVision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,438 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Fun, as in I had fun watching it. Some parts were funny, yes. I mean the retro thing is a little too cutesy but it turned out the characters worked well in that setting. I liked the upbeat, chipper tone, it was refreshing.

A24 4,331 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 At the time of writing the first post was true. However, time has passed since then. Someone said that the series jumps further in time ('50s, '60s, '70s, etc) and so I watched all of it. I don't have any other series that I want to watch at the moment. Heck, I even resumed The Rise Of Skywalker for 30 minutes or so. Still can't get though the whole thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 I wonder what 80's sitcoms they will pay homage to. Perfect Strangers? Family Ties? Alf? 90's I'd image Full House and Friends. Probably not Married With Children or Seinfeld 00's Malcolm in the Middle, Two and A Half Men, King of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond? 10's Modern Family is the only family sitcom that really comes to mind. They'd not gonna do Office/Parks and Rec I don't think Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd not gonna do Office/Parks and Rec I don't think How many decades are they going to make it through before the two worlds/storylines converge with some finality? The series is nine episodes long, so we have 1) 50s 2) 60s 3) 70s 4) Outside world 5) 80s? 6) 90s? 7) 00s? 8) 10s? 9) Finale? That's assuming that there aren't any other outside world interludes and that there is only one real world wrap-up at the end. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't just do one "21st century" one. To be honest, I'd love to see an Arrested Development style take, but if they make it up to modern day family sitcoms, I'm sure they'd do single camera no-laugh-track style regardless - whether they do Office-style talking heads, who knows.

Popular Post Jay 37,346 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2021 One thing the sitcoms riffed so far (Dick Van Dyke, I Love Lucy, Bewitched, Partridge Family, Brady Bunch) have in common is they are all sitcoms about families. Friends is really about friends hanging out more so than the family dynamic, so they might stick with something more like Full House, Step by Step, Married With Children, The Nanny, or Everybody Loves Raymond for the 90s.

Jay 37,346 Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Yikes, Episode 5 is out now and I completely forgot to write about Episode 4 I thought it was pretty cool! I wasn't expecting they to do an entire episode from the "outside" view, but in retrospect it makes perfect sense, and was probably the right time to do it. It was great to see Kat Dennings as Darcy again, and she's easily one of the best tertiary MCU characters, and I've had a crush on Kat Dennings ever since 2 Broke Girls Randall Park as the FBI guy was also a nice addition. The new character of Captain Marvel's friend's daughter was also pretty cool. It was fun realizing what was going on in the opening scene (oh, this is when everyone comes back from the snap), and kinda wish they spent more time with her acclimating to her life again instead of just jumping forward 3 weeks to her being good to go back to work and diving into the Westview mystery. The explanation for the drone helicopter and beekeper were pretty cool, and the reversal of the "Wanda, who's doing this to you?" radio messages were a bit clunky but made sense I guess. I liked the little things like realizing that when Wanda rewinds time, these guys observing only get the rewound version and not the original version of events. I think this will be more and more important as time goes on. Oh, and realizing this was an actual town that she's trapped real people in and it isn't like, all in her head was kinda interesting, too. I didn't really understand the part where they were identifying the people and saying "such and such name in the roll of such".. like, she's forcing the people who lived in that neighborhood to act like the characters she wants for her sitcom world instead of just interacting with them as the are? Kinda dark. Maybe this somewhat explains the weird scene in episode 1 where the guy was choking and Vision didn't help him until she explicitly told him to? Like everyone has parameters to follow but doesn't know what to do in certain situations unless Wanda tells them? Wanda's brief glimpse of Vision post-stone removal was pretty cool. Interesting that at the end, they were still in 70s with newborns mode. WIll the next episode still be the 70s, or just jump forward to the 80s between episodes? We'll hopefully watch episode 5 soon!

Faleel 5,346 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Quote Spoiler Yeah the next episode tine jumps. Seems like Monica has beef with Carol (Captain Marvel), probably something to do with her mom? Interesting cameo, though it wasn't a surprise for me,I wonder if it is the first hint at the multiverse.

Arpy 4,145 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 How is the MCU going to reconcile the X-Men into their universe when one has a completely different tone and centers around the plight of an oppressed people? The two worlds are non-overlapping and to do so would be to cheapen the struggles and identities of the X-Men. I once said that the comical tone of the MCU is a double edged sword - it offers some great levity in bringing these characters to the screen and makes them light entertainment. Yet at the same time, they all feel like cardboard cutouts of their characters, reduced to basic self parody in many cases. WandaVision, aside from the sitcom guise is really hollow. It's nothing beyond its setting, there's nothing beneath the surface - and any serious moments betray the levity of the rest of the MCU.

KK 3,307 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Been watching this lately with the fam. Honestly, don't see what's special about it at all. Seems like dollops of genre TV with typical uber-mechanical Marvel universe plotting (some of the non-sequitur references are cringey). If it weren't for Olsen's oozing on-screen charisma, this would very much be a slog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
