WandaVision anticipation thread

The beginning of MCU phase four approaches with the upcoming release of WandaVision on Disney+!

Of course, WandaVision wasn't supposed to lead off Phase four, but the Covid-related delays to the release of Black Widow and the completion of Falcon and Winter Soldier have made it so.

Starring Elizabeth Olson and Paul Bettany as Wanda Maximoff and the Vision, WandaVision also features the return of Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis (Thor, Thor: The Dark World) and Randal Park as Jimmy Woo (Ant-Man and the Wasp). WV introduces to the MCU Teyona Parris as Monica Rambeau (replacing Akira Akbar, who played Monica as a child in Captain Marvel) and Kathrine Hahn as a character strongly suspected to be Agatha Harkness, which would make her the first of the newly aquired characters from FOX to appear in the MCU. Monica, and perhaps Woo, will be working with SWORD, a sister agency of SHIELD that monitors threats from space.

Described as classic sitcoms meet MCU spectacle, with the trailer having numerous easter eggs from sitcoms of decades past, WandaVision is essentially part one of a trilogy. WandaVision is the beginning of a story that moves onto the upcoming Loki series on Disney+ and concludes in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, which will co-star Olson.

Could this be their Legends of Tomorrow? Something completely nuts. :)
I have some theories what is happening. Only time will tell if I’m right

So I guess the shows don't overlap and you can watch them in any order then.

I figured that was the case from the get go. Doesn't seem like there will be an overlap, at least with the first three shows.
 
Which is obviously totally a joke (Probably have to add that in case people think otherwise).
This looks amazing. Very creative and different, I almost feel this is a better start to the new phase as it looks much more interesting and engaging than Black Widow (at least to me). A better way to get people excited for a post Engame MCU.
 
I still don't quite get what the point of this is. I mean I know it's a joke, but...a whole show just built around a joke?
That seems unnecessarily excessive.

...it's like they took a weird, ill-conceived comic miniseries from the 1980s and made a show out of it...
 
OK, that was a pretty good trailer, but I think now I have less of an idea what the hell is going on in the show than I did before I watched it.

The mental breakdown and shattering of her reality only to (seemingly) manifest a new artificial one because of the loss of her loved one is a joke?

So this really IS an adaption of Wanda's arc in Avengers Dissembled and possibly House of M?

I meant joke as in a parody of Sitcoms.

It's probably an adaptation as any of their movies have been. They start with a broad stroke and then go in their own direction. But it looks like there's a very dark underbelly to all of this, yes? Heck, the wine bottle is literally House of M(epris). Could be an easter egg but could represent a bit more.

But what, it's fine for a show like Legion?

Honestly, I hope this isn't all built on the idea of Wanda having a mental breakdown. That's built on a negative stereotype about the mentally ill and creates a larger stigma that's already on that community.

What I would prefer, and I hope they're actually doing, is Wanda finds herself unable to cope without Vision's presence in her life and uses her magic to recreate him in some kind of bubble universe, but is unaware of the outside consequences. She hasn't lost control of her powers because of "mental instability" but is instead lost in her own world, not caring about anything other than Vision, and perhaps she becomes careless of the side effects as she expands her abilities.
 
How would that compare to other effects heavy shows like the Star Treks, or The Expanse?
