Any other questions about WandaVision?
Is Doug miphisto
Is Wanda Maximoff still considered as mutant in the MCU

Where the beekeeper is, why strange didn't show up, and white visions real nane
whatever happened to that SWORD Beekeeper and why didn't Doctor Strange show up ?
The delivery guy is basically just a NPC with only one line.
Exactly!
Awesome. Yes. done. Stop with the Mephisto connection. What a bunch of crock.
There is so much to this. This is why he's so exhausted (what he says when everyone else is discussing their trauma). All he does is constantly deliver and spout a catchphrase. It has to be a truely hellish existence.
My Man 👉
*facepalm* yes, lol
For me, the reason why Wanda said, “Thanks for choosing me as your mom.” Was because somehow she felt she didn’t deserve to be one and yet got to be one still. Well that’s how i understood it anyway.
Also, I've said something similar to my kid and it's just a sweet little thing to say that makes kids feel like they had some agency in their lives and no secret hidden meaning at all other than it makes them smile.
@@NekoMouser Yeah. I didn't read much into it, I just thought of it as a mother-to-child thing.
I read it somewhere that a child gives birth to a mother.... So maybe she felt obliged to have such amazing children
it's just some hippie crap. They use the same line in Dharma and Greg.
I cri
The show also gave us a heart-wrenching story about grief and how powerful it can be. Combine that power with the power of a superhuman and the results are disastrous.
It's like vision said... Is Grief not love preserving? My aunt died of cancer and I feel grief everytime I think about her, so I really felt like he was pretty spot on about that
I think the psychology of loss and trauma went over most people's heads. The whole season I was saying "I KNOW I would do the same if I could"
@@willlawson6126 yeah there so focused about seeing the bigger picture but it wasn't a grand painting/picture but it was just a small family photo
@@michaelrichards5340 go kidnap someone then if you relate..

One answer to "why a hexagon?" is hidden in plain sight: it's a play on words. "Hex" as in another word for "spell."
When darcy started calling it the Hex it was totally a teasee for the ~witch~ plot!
or because of the 6 infinity stones...?
Hex also sound an awful lot like "heks" which is Dutch for witch. 👀
Similar to the German "hexterin"
no, its because hexagons are bestagons
Us: Why Hexagons?
CGP Grey: Because hexagons are the bestagons!
YES!! BESTAGONS!!
i read cgp as gpd
Exactly
Hexagon is the most economic shape found in the natural world, it uses the least amount of material to create a hexagon over a circle, a square, a triangle etc. Hence Bee honeycombs are hexagon, soap bubbles squashed together form hexagons. And don't forget Saturn's Hexagon, a persistent cloud formation at the north pole of the planet.
I thought it was a play with the words, hex as in spell, but Wanda/they/us didn't know it was magic in the begining (sorry for the bad english)
The point of the show was her grief, the five stages of grief. Ep1, 2 is Denial, Ep3 is Anger, Ep 5 is Bargain, Ep7 is Depression, and Ep9 is Acceptance. Wanda has been through a lot, the show itself tells it, she lost her Parents, Brother and Vision.
And country and all her friends
Is no one else going to talk about how when vision's body was on the table, his inner components were made of hexagons?? That's what I assumed the hexagons are all about - Wanda is constructing this place for her and Vision, so she wants to be connected to him, and that's part of it.
that's what i thought when i first watched but then i saw so many theories but i still feel like this one is the most
simple and effective
I think the hexagons are referencing arch angel metatron’s cube, which is said to symbolize the underlying patterns of our universe.
Hexagon is the strongest shape naturally.
(Graphene is the strongest hydrocarbon known, due to its hexagonal formation)
Wanda not apologizing is on par with her personality in the comics. She's destroyed lives, caused people to die, and rewritten reality multiple times, all for her own selfish desires. I think the closest she came to apologizing was admitting she made a mistake. Then she described how she should have done things differently.
WandaVision was just right for me. Any more characters, hero or villain, would’ve been too many cooks in the kitchen really. Especially introducing them in a final episode. Agatha Harkness was enough.
I agree. Even before the last episode, I knew that people were over-speculating and that there wasn't a need for antagonists besides Agatha and Sword. Any other villain would shift the blame from Wanda and wouldn't give the series as much emotional weight as it has now.
Maybe an end credit scene of introducing a new character...but even then idk depends how they'd do that
Agreed, but I was looking forward to seeing doctor strange
i agree
They could have made Hayward a little more reasonably antagonistic in the end but otherwise I agree. He just went into the Hex, shot at some kids, got T-boned by Darcy, then got arrested.
"Thank you for choosing me" is alot deeper then just a statement
There's also the possibility that Dr. Strange knew he couldn't interfere with Vision becoming Albino Vision and Wanda becoming the Scarlet Witch, maybe due to future events. Always interfering with certain events can cause more damage than good.
Albino vision lmaoooo
Call him White Vision and that sound racist.
Doctor Strange maybe tried to enter but the powerful hex prevented him and the other wizards from entering or some of the wizards got trap in the hex where Wanda had less control of and Doctor Strange with Wong decided to study it before trying to enter it.
@@nancybosah525 Okay. Wait, "Call him White Vision and that sound racist."? What do you mean?
@@Pumpkin0_0 You called him Albino Vision which sometimes means he was black and the bad guys turned him white which Vision was not black and it sounds racist to some people. So please understand and call him White Vision.
@@nancybosah525 Being albino just means there's lack of pigment. The original Vision had pigment, and he wasn't black-colored, he was mostly a deep red. It's just color and he wasn't even human to begin with, so your comment makes no sense.
Why are you being racist by turning something so normal into something racist? Just because someone has pigment, that doesn't mean the opposite of being albino is to be black. *It simply means there's no pigment.* There are whites, asians, blacks, etc. who are be born albino. They lack pigment, therefore they're born with blond or white-ish hair, blue eyes, and very pale skin that's very sensitive to the sun, and oftentimes they have various health problems, *regardless of their ethnicity.*
Who was the moron who correlated a lack of pigmentation to racism and sees the opposite of being albino as being black? That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard.
People need to grow up and pay attention in school...
Anyone notice Brad Pitt flashed into one of the frames at 5:47 when the crowd chants "for the children" and that this has been happening in many Screen Crush videos (at least for WandaVision)?
I just noticed it too!
So did I. But no one seems to mention why
Fight club reference. In fight club he played Tyler durdan. And in the film Tyler pops up at random times similar to these videos.
the fbi guy called Cliff. CLIFF BOOTH???
YES YES YES
For the first one “where was Dr. Strange” one answer could be that Strange had been gone for 5 years, I’d imagine he had a lot of stuff to catch up on, and stuff to clean up, so he noticed magical whatsits and said “I detect Wanda there. I trust her to clean that up”
that's been my running head cannon and that Dr. Strange is more of keep reality together then magical police.
That's a good point.
Maybe he can still look into the future and saw what would happen if he did interfere and what would happen if he didn’t and the end result was him not interfering at all was for the better. Like a “lesser of two evils” type thing
@@linc2155 Another good point
@@linc2155 Can't be: his "look into the future" thing was a use of the time stone, which he doesn't have anymore.
...not that I care about Strange's non-presence in the show. It's a superhero universe, characters get to have their own stories.
“That’s not the only place the devil is” could also just hint at evil being in a place you would not expect it to be aka Agnes.
Or she even means Wanda, I mean Agatha thinks the Scarlet Witch is the evil because of her chaos magic, she just trolls Wanda there I guess :)
There’s a he in there
They were talking about Dottie. Dottie says devils in the details and Agatha says that's not the only place he is to imply that Dottie is the devil cause she's the worst.
Noooo iTs mEpHiStO
ok, then explain Ralph calling the kids "demon-spawn." too many obvious devil-hints to ignore.
Nothing new to the table? We haven't have anything like this in the MCU, it was a major experiment that could lead to future movies exploring even further into different genres.
I can understand what people meant, if Wanda had appeared as Scarlet Witch in a future movie and we are all confused and then they dropped this series behind that show, maybe people wouldn't say that, but as of now it felt like a long MCU movie broken up in parts to tell us how Wanda became the chaos witch, vision alive, the two young avengers, spectrum is a thing now (Monica)
Felt like they were more concerned about the future and had no concern with the present so I left feeling empty about the show but excited for the future movies... Kind of like an ad of a video game release
I was a little disappointed they didn't go further. I saw no need at all to make Agatha "the Big Bad"... the story's themes about grief and love were enough. Wanda's grief was the Big Bad and awakening her to a healthy path forward is a big step for someone who feels "you took everything from me".
In addition to ScreenCrush's takes, Darcy developed without Thor & Jane (Could Darcy & Woo have an MCU future; perhaps spinning off Damage Control or something similar?), Agatha was introduced (so there's now a tie-in to FF and a potential mentor for Wanda if needed), a new Vision emergent was teased (i.e. Green Vision could spontaneously emerge in the future in a way we've not yet imagined).
A drama with superpowers is just as welcome as a superhero movie with drama... they don't all have to end in slugfests.
I think agatha was set up and next villain. Similar to mordo in dr strange. Wanda was primary villain while hayward and agatha were simply something to fight against for actions sake.
@@PrometheanConsulting loki was way better imo.
@@michaelrichards5340
Say what?
It cant be ralph-jimmy woo saw him on the tv and didn’t react: wouldn’t he have been like oh shit thats my missing person
"Sometimes a guy can just be a guy, not conected to the comics"
Aloooooot of pepole need to realize this, aka characters who only exist for plot progression
Or just mess with us and that's it lol.
Actually Jimmy Woo is a comic book character. I think he was a shield agent.
To be fair when you make a comic adaptation of a movie you can't blame people for expecting comic accurate characters in said movie
@@carolinareaper6342 I mean.. Creative freedom is a thing. Even in comics, THEY don’t even always keep things “accurate” with one another, it depends on the writer at the time.
But also, we have to realize Easter Eggs are usually just that! Easter eggs. Like a shoutout to comic book reader for something only they would catch
"Wandavision has finally ended..."?! That escaleted quickly! 😅
Ok...?
@@Danny-nn8bo I mean, a very good show with only 9 episodes doesn't deserve a "FINALLY" it's over! I also got frustrated with the ending, but I would love a couple more episodes!
@@ftnunosilva i understand his overall disappointment on the show as a hole. I feel the same, im also happy that Falcon and the Winter Soldier is next up. Still a fan over all. I just had to Readjust my expectations going forward. Disney you know lolol
@@TheKillaMethod Exactly! I fear this is one of the struggles for the MCU Disney+ shows, especially being a weekly thing versus stream all at once. The gap gives us crazy time to speculate & create theories that a lot of the larger ones will be paid off in the films. This show was phenomenal, especially to have been released during a pandemic (lowering the episode count & being released 1st versus the planned 4th release in phase 4). I don’t think we have to fully adjust our expectations, but we were all full throttle after waiting almost 2 years for anything and in kinda rough times.
about the kids being lost souls, isn't there a missing kid picture of one of them on the milk carton before it changes to glas when stuff starts acting weird?
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is not canon"
Age of Ultron: *Allow us to introduce ourselves*
Explain please, ive never watched AoS
@@cosmicfrank5465 He might be referring to how a major plot point in one season of Agents of Shield is how Coulson was secretly building a massive SHIELD airship-the very same one that showed up to evacuate civilians from the city near the end of Age of Ultron. Fury never really explains where the airship came from in AoU, but it does prove that AoS was canon during its earlier seasons. I think it only stopped being canon during season 6 (or 5?) when, chronologically, Infinity War and the snap would have occurred (AoS never made any acknowledgement of the snap, though Thanos was referenced prior to Infinity War).
@@pennerbear thank you
@@pennerbear yeh, i think in s5 as you said when they do time travel it is no longer canon. i read that up until infinity war, the AoS writers were told what would happen in the films so they could line it up, but because IW and endgame were so secret, the AoS writers didn't know what was going to happen. like the release of age of ultron in perfectly lined up w s2 of shield. raina says 'a metal man will take over' ie ultron and then literally a week later its the worldwide release of age of ultron
@@pennerbear Yup! They were absolutely canon right until they went to the future. Everything after that should’ve been considered another alternate universe (as pointed out at the finale scene with Coulson and Lola), just like what happened in Endgame.
I hope someday Feige will allow AoS cast to join the MCU main project or acknowledge something from the TV shows (Runaways, Cloak & Dagger etc) and incorporated them into Disney Plus or something. The Inhumans creation from AoS S3 could easily be an easy way to introduced the powered people with some twist.
"Be Patient" he says. I"m 60. I could be dead by phase 7.
Lol I'm only 28 but I thought about this the other day they seem to wanna take this into the next 20 years like we could be dead by then I'm tired of waiting and the trolling
At least you got to see Avengers Endgame in your lifetime.
I'm not as old, but if I could tell my past childhood self, what MCU was going to be, it'd blow my mind. This has never happened before in entire comics or movie history: whole string of superhero movies with one plot all having Stan Lee cameos. Just darn wow.
hey, if we survive Covid and Trump, we can survive anything! also, lets see what phases 4, 5 and 6 have to offer, maybe they'll suck and you'll be done with it before 7 comes around. also, also, I'm 57, 60 aint that old!
58 here and I do feel your pain, however, I do agree with Person Person. When I think back to my young self and remember what I dreamed the world would be by now I got some part very correct and many parts very wrong. The one thing that I never expected, however, was just how well fed my nerdom would be at this age. These are truly the halcyon days for those of us who grew up with a box of comics under the bed and a dose of Kirk and Spock on TV daily.
I mean, the people who grew up with the first Batman were about the same age when The Dark Knight Trilogy came out
The Darkhold looks different than the one in agents of shield because that Darkhold looked fucking stupid! Question answered.
Who fucking though it was a good idea to write the word Darkhold into the cover of the book? What a rookie mistake.
@@the_belugaluga5286 hah, well we all know the ancients used written English, duhhh
Aos is not canon
@@showmeyourmoves8551 yes it is
They explained in Agents that it changes form
I like how they’ve explained Vision’s return. Fake Vision couldn’t survive outside of the fake world and we can’t have Vision gone forever. With all his memories restored, they can go anywhere from here really, minus the mindstone...
Captain America returned the stones in time. He could of given new Vision the mind stone.
@@codeXenigma There’s that angle too, even if we didn’t get confirmation of it in the series.
I feel like this whole show was made to bring vision back.
@@KDbelieves that's a super reduced view since it did way more than that t
@@johnnytee911 Yes it did more than that, but I think that was the main goal.
Screen Crush: “It’s unreasonable to expect the show to be as sophisticated as your elaborate fan theory.”
Also Screen Crush: “This plot hole can be explained by an elaborate fan theory.”
Yeah. I like that he was like "Mephisto was never teased, we were just reading too much into things," "the yellow roses had no hidden meaning," and "the X-Men crossover wasn't really a crossover and didn't mean anything"...and then turned around and was like "Vision bought a house through a government loan program in the same neighborhood as the witness so that the FBI could have him protect the witness" and "the kids were secretly soul shards who chose to inhabit false bodies before becoming trapped in the multiverse of maddness..."
@@NekoMouser Yeah, as long as he can't be disproved, he will insult other people for their fan theories.
@@CinematriX_TX21 yep screen crush is an asshole.
I'm honestly indifferent but just wanna say, It's one thing to EXPECT something to be as sophisticated as one's elaborate fan theory and it's ANOTHER thing to RATIONALIZE plot holes with your OWN fan theories, to make everything fits together when there's no official canon explanation, until one's given.
And you try to say in person what you say behind your back ...
I cannot imagine why a witness in witness protection would need a headshot of their own face 🤣 Ralph is just an out-of-work actor that means nothing further, unfortunately. People in witness protection can't be actors or in the public eye at all.
Yeah I don't get this either. Why do people think that someone in witness protection would have a semi - glamorous head shot? Am I missing something?
@@robgronotte1 The head shot could easily be from before he entered witness protection. Not saying it's true, just possible.
My guess it's the mailman. "Don't shoot. I'm just a messenger!" ;)
We already know Ralph ain't the witness, cuz Woo didn't recognize him or react at all on seeing him.
@@Devillionaire Woo hid his reaction with his newly gained magician skills.
Ralph isn’t the guy in witness protection. Agent Woo saw him and didn’t wince or anything “...oh there’s that guy I been looking all over for”
Pretty sure the witness protection person wasn't important and was just a reason for Woo to be in New Jersey.
@@killah_disciple1 I agree, lots of strings laid out, some were intentional misdirection, other possible seeds to something greater down the line.
Is it possible that when Vision gained his "old memories", his last one's would be his death at Thanos' hands. I think he left to look for Thanos for revenge. Not knowing what happened after the snap because he'd technically have no memory of that
After all, Wanda was snapped too. He didn't get memories of the stones. Just the memories of old Vision.
Possible, except Vision has never been one for revenge, or anything like that. He's the goody-two-shoes of the Avengers. More likely is that he went to go stop Thanos from hurting anyone else, or as others have suggested: he is off somewhere thinking/computing through all that he has learned.
Multiverse of Madness tying into Wanda’s quest for her kids is extremely obvious, like it literally says it in the title. Multiverse of Madness, MOM. Mom. And yes I thought it was a weird coincidence when the title came out but Film Theory reminded me.
@Glitch B*tch yea
Fuck, I'm just noticed now. Thanks
You’re looking way to much into it
@@DoctorTauri nope! He was right, this is what the movie was all about actually. Just saw it last week.
Ding ding! You were right!
"It would explain why he has a headshot..."
Or it's because he's an actor (possibly failed actor), as actors often have headshots made to send out to directors.
@Series Consideration - that's what I've been thinking. I have a lot of old headshots around. Maybe she picked an actor to act like Pietro... with her help/control. IDK. It's a thought.
yes!
Also, it can't be Ralph because there were water bills from the entire year and they were overdue, but when you are in Witness Protection, all of your bills are paid for you
@@SonicGoldie the blip, duh
Yeah, I have NO idea how being in witness protection would "explain why he had a headshot." That makes ZERO logical sense. I thought it was totally clear that he was a stoner/slacker local who fancied himself an actor (but also probably did little beyond the surface stuff of getting headshots, etc to get roles). His bills were past due, which doesn't jive with being in witness protection (but does with being a struggling actor), and witness protection CERTAINLY wouldn't let him make and send out headshots (though I guess they could be souvenirs of a time he was an actor prior to entering protection, but then that's a lot of unsaid rationale just to have her find and hold up a headshot). But his being an aspiring actor also meshes well with Agatha "casting" him in a role for her own purposes. The only thing that is a little odd is how, as an unsuccessful actor, he had a house all his own, but that could be something he inherited or had for some other normal, innocuous reason.
as someone who hasnt read the comics most of the sitcom lines to me read as just that. They were using the tropes as they would have been in those respective decades. i dont see how alot of them were meant to be something deeper
100% this.
Yep
That's how it was for me, too. But some CZcams people got some good traffic with all their supposing. Which is good for them. Plus, we had fun...
Yeah, I was laughing at how stupid the theorists were going on and on about mephisto being confirmed and which character is secretly mephisto blablabla. What show were they watching because they never mentioned his name, morons.
On 5:47 there is a bradd pitt showing up when you play on 0.25 speed
Brad Pitt- or Tyler Durden?🤔
Which makes absolutely NO SENSE!🙄
on pc you can pause at that moment and use < > to move slowly to find this
He also shows up on 1 speed
I knew i wasnt the only one!
Im a little late to the party, but i absolutley loved this show, every single part of it. Even the tears coming when she says good bye to her kids and vision. WTB more of this!
Darcy in that circus outfit was the best part of the entire show.
Ohh yaaa
For like 2 seconds. Some exposition, you're going to jail, then she noped out. Didn't even interact with Wanda or the Skrull later. That was a disappointment for me, among a few, but I guess we can blame that one on COVID.
@@solvseus It disappointed me that they forgot her area of study and called her an astrophysicist. Big screwup.
In the end of infinity war, shuri did remove separate some % of visions soul I guess. And white vison just went to wakanda to be as much of him he could be.
White Vision is the Vision they were trying to create in Wakanda in Infinity War. That’s Vision minus the Mind stone. That’s what’s left of his personality.
In my opinion, Quicksilver’s “raise hell demon spawn” and “if Westview, New Jersey isn’t charming as hell” could’ve been added to Mephisto teases
I think they teased Mephisto to kind of introduce the idea of him so he can be brought in in later projects
@@SakuraJonas22 i’d be very surprised if he isn’t introduced in doctor strange 2 it makes way more sense then him being introduced in wandavision or any other project for that matter
@@NightOwl547 agreed!
Why does everyone want this devil character so badly and do you know that Disney cannot show a Devil and without him being severely punished for his evil crimes in a pg 13 show for children or do all of you worship the Devil because a lot of people wanted and still want Mephisto even after this show and no other big bad villian.
To be honest in the comics Mephisto being the one character solve or cause any big problem sound like kind of lazy writing because I read he helped Norman Osborn with a lot of money for exchange his son's soul which come on felt that Harry's crimes was not his fault and remove the focus of him and his evil decisions when he was the new Green Goblin. Also Mephisto involvement in the birth of Wanda twins looks and sound so complicated, crazy, confusing and just an excuse to show him.
Mephisto will never show on Marvel Disney movies and show unless he is severely punished for his crimes, he have to look completely different to not the Devil, or maybe there is dark above pg 16 marvel show that you can only see him on the show and not at Marvel PG13 movies without him dieing in the movie.
@@nancybosah525 geez, he’s just a cool character. Also, Mephisto is a lot more complicated with making deals and helping change fates.
He’s also really involved with the X-Men, which could be a good way to bring them in. I do agree that it would be risky to bring a devil character in, but seriously let people dream a little. If people want a specific character to show up that’s their opinion
Having a weekly show to look forward to has been awesome for my wife and I. The bonus Screencrush breakdown after each episode extends the fun. Keep up the good work man! One more week till we can do it again!
This dude is spitting facts and calling out the ‘disappointed’ people who blame everything on Marvel...
I love it!
Some people are just too focused on theories, other movie teasers and doesn't care about Wanda. I'm kinda pissed at them -_-
@@AIIXIII0 ikr, the fact that they didn’t get their Reed Richards or Doctor Strange appearance doesn’t give them an excuse to be disappointed when WandaVision has nothing to do with these characters
@@daniperotti1856 That's how I feel too. The show is about Wanda. I'm glad there's no other "big" character being introduce without any sort of connection to the story. Well, Monica have the same experience as Wanda. Waking up 5 years later only to know your loved ones dead while Strange connection is just magic. Save that for the movies which they will meet.
@@daniperotti1856 "Doesnt give them the right to be disappointed." I didnt know a right was needed
What's weird is that this channel is one of the biggest offenders of over analyzing clues that weren't there. Fans are mad because they believed Screen Crush and other channels. It was never Marvel's fault.
"Raise hell demons spawn!" is a bigger Mephisto tease imo
But it's probably foreshadowing to whatever the post credit scene is hinting at
OR it was just an easter egg. I think we sometimes forget that the MCU is filled with easter eggs that don't go anywhere or tease anything and are just there for fun.
Its not a tease lol
Of course a Witch like Agatha would call kids "demon spawn", since Witches generally dislike kids
Thats a phrase normally use when kids are causing mayhem. Doesnt hint to Mephisto, especially when the show runners didnt know who Mephisto was, they even said that anything that hinted to him is purely coincidental. I also doubt 89% of the viewers knew who Mephisto was
Paul Bethany's secret cameo is the bee keeper who will reappear in Bee movie 3
my theory about the mailman and "don't shoot the messenger" is the God of messengers is Mercury. The element mercury is also called quicksilver. The mailman saying "don't shoot the messenger" is part of Wanda processing Pietro/Quicksilver's death (by shooting).
Lesson learned: No Theories for Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Fr I watched theory videos before I watched the show imma just wait for it to end then binge
Mutants are going to appear in Falcon and the Winter Soldier
@@hanielamorim9915 "Don't give me hope." Seriously though, same as Terra. Gonna wait until it's over, binge, THEN watch SOME of these. Like I did for Mandalorian S1 and WatchMen. WAY better experience. Although, I have a coworker who did that with this show, and still had the same complaints, so...
Just keep the speculation within reason and based on the evidence. From the beginning I was calling the mephisto theories dumb because there was no basis for it in the show besides WILD speculation based on a common expression. These morons were treating it as if it were a confirmed fact that mephisto was in the show, then building from there. I wasn't disappointed by the lack of mephisto because I didn't convince myself he would be in the show.
Lesson learned care less about the MCU
I 1000% want that deleted scene.
It is so awsome how the Show managed to blow my mind again every Week/Episode😳
I really love your take on things! It’s like you’re saying everything I’m thinking and you have a great balance between thoughtfully thinking through how the pieces fit while also not taking it too seriously because...HELLO!!! It’s a show for entertainment lol Another great video thanks! 😬😊
I think the "for the children" is a reference to their own kids, giving Sarah's comment that she wanted to hug her kid, not to try get Wanda to get pregnant. They were literally doing what they were doing "for their children" at least subconsciously.
Yes, in case the mind control slipped a bit, they needed a reason to keep mum.
As Agnes said, kids are hard to control.
At the end, Jimmy Woo was setting up a first aid station. I think the town will need long term therapy. Plus economic help. The whole place looked like a depressed dump when Wanda drove in. Yeah, the Blip was stressful. But were there no happy reunions?
@@kmaher1424 "Stressful"?? Society would crumble if that ever happened in real life. It would take a LOT longer than five years to get back to even a semblance of normality - you've seen covid a year on, and that's had a much lower death rate.
Sure, I'm sure everyone's glad the dead characters are back now. But that doesn't change the fact that society fell apart five years ago, and it's honestly probably causing even more stress that they're back. Like... what if it happens again? WE know it won't, and the Avengers know it won't; but the random humans in this world don't know that. They probably have no idea what caused it. They're probably terrified, every single time there's a superhero fight, that their loved ones are gonna be ripped away again.
“She didn’t know that she was broadcasting the show”. I don’t buy that, because she deleted scenes (or portions of scenes) from the broadcasts, leaving gaps in the action that she didn’t want seen. (Just saying). I’m enjoying your video analysis, though!
She shaped West View in the image of her comfort zone, American TV series. They were the form she was the happiest with, so even if she wasn't aware of the whole "this isn't actual reality" she subconsciously kept it as a program, her energy was shaped in the way of TV signals, and whenever anything changed, it would be as in TV interference. So, regardless of whether anyone was actually watching in the outside, the world acted as a TV Series, including the time skips or redos of "scenes"
If only wanda didn't create the "sitcoms", it would be a happy ending for her because Darcy wouldn't be able to locate the frequency of her broadcasting at all. I mean, its a great show, but it's just that if you think realistically 🤷
Imagine, if she just didn't create sitcoms, there's a major chance that she wouldn't encounter Monica in the first place. If Monica was not thrown out of the hex, SWORD would be passive here and I think Agatha will just fight wanda inside the hex and there, things will become messy (without the involvement of SWORD)
@Yemima Hutapea That could be- she was just changing the "plot". I guess this implies that the broadcast wasn't live, but must have had some delay.
Yes and no. If she was making it a show, that's just what those shows did. She could still be doing that subconsciously to mirror the types of shows that she was.
You've officially become my favorite channel. Keep it up with the great insight
I really loved the show! I wasn’t 100% sure about it the first episode or two, but I’m glad I didn’t stop or doubt the show. It was really good, fun to watch and analyze, and I also just really like the scarlet witch character so it was awesome to have an entire show dedicated to her!
That thumbnail of vision is hilarious😂 he's just so appalled he was looking at another version of himself like yooo wtf
I knew you were putting Tyler Durden in every "for the children" frame, but just now I managed to capture him! 😄
Yeah 😂. I had to pause every frame like 10 times 🤣🤣
@@midago7332 I was trying for weeks until now 😁
Ok i am not the only one who's seeing things
I put it on .25 speed to get it
I just finished my 2nd run through of the series - this time with your videos to help me understand it better! (I didn't know about ScreenCrush the 1st time.) Thank you for you insight! It makes these movies and shows easier to comprehend - especially when they are released month or years apart! It makes them even more fun and re-watchable than they already are. It was also great to see puppy Doug make his debut!
During their fight in the air, Agatha told Wanda that once a spell is cast it can never be broken, so Agatha can’t break Wanda’s spell that turned her into Agnes.
spells cant be changed or edited after they’re casted
No no, you can’t change the spell to do something else once is cast, you have to break it and recast it to change it.
So the spell Wanda put on Agatha can be broken but not modified
“I don’t want magic explained.I want the mystical to stay mystical.”
Yes
Same here
Somethings are better a mystery so everyone can have a idea
That’s the fun
Absolutely. There are already a lot of 'Explained Magic' things in the MCU, like Thor and the Asgardians. "Magic" that's quantifiable and fully-understood is just fictional science.
I'd like magic to explain magic
But not like "oh the magic is just science working super hard" or blah blah
Like, this spell does X and can be used to create Y and Z
I like the explanations
There's a difference between explaining the origins of magic and explaining the rules of a main character's powers. The rules of what a character like Wanda can and can't do NEED to be clear and set in stone - otherwise that's how bad writing happens. That's literally one of the first rules of writing.
I was hoping for Hayward to have more depth to his character that's all, the fact the speculations you made never came to pass never impacted the show for me.
He had depth. He wanted to bring online vision as an asset for the government. Pretty simple.
That is why don't speculate. Enjoy the show the way it is meant to. I learned this from WandaVision.
Putting ol' TD @ 5:47 was a meta reference of the highest magnitude. I approve =8-Þ
ScreenCrush: Other channels thinks he was a witness, or mephisto or whatever
New Rockstars: *Are you challenging me?*
The moment he said that, NR popped into my head
Meanwhile, the Vision’s

@@Crox101 I was going to use a marshmallow for WV but they don’t have that type of emoji :(
I loved this show I didn’t let myself go down the all the theory crafting silliness and just enjoyed week to week.
I agree with you on that last bit! Its a change of pace from 2 hours to a whole season of fog through the motions of a developing character!
I've watched several videos on answering questions and not one of them has talked about one thing. Whatever happened to the husband/boss from the very first episode? Because that lady is always seen by herself in the rest of the show. Did he die? Was him choking in the first episode him also dying? It's been bugging me. What do you think?
My theory is he didn't die, but Wanda felt guilty she almost let him. So she hide him away, so she wouldnt be reminded and her fake reality wouldnt be spoiled
@@vickicee6815 Nice theory.
When they say everything is flawed well every flaw has an explanation
I hope so
Just finished this show. It was almost like a fever dream. A wild, wonderful, and intriguing fever dream. Loved every single minute of it.
If Shuri did finish removing the mind stone from Vision in Infinity War would he have become the White Vision?
If done properly, probably not.
Omg thank you so much for not being so obsessed with every little thing said or happening in this show!! Ugh other channels still hang on to these little things! Everyone has to remember Wandavision was not meant to be the first thing we watched this year/phase.
I honestly think people are confusing the term "plot hole." Almost every story will have characters, places, dialogue, etc. that isn't fully explored/explained. And that's okay. And that doesn't make it a plot hole.
The way I understand plot hole is In fiction, a plot hole is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story's plot. Such inconsistencies include things as illogical, unlikely or impossible events, and statements or events that contradict earlier events in the storyline. (Taken from Wikipedia)
We don't really need more info on "don't shoot the messenger" man, because the show pretty much explains why he says what he says.
Agreed!
This video was really really well done, so many useful explanations!
Super Great episode Ryan, Thanks!!!
Agatha seemed freaked out about something at the end. “You have no clue what you’ve done. You’re gonna need me.” You think this is the looming threat of the scarlet witch’s prophecy of destroying the world or did the scarlet witch crack open some door meant stay closed by accident? Like Mephisto, Chthon, or the barrier to the multiverse?
Possibly the former. The prophecy. Possibly the former leads to the latter. Either way, Wanda is not a superhero currently. She's a major player that will shape the MCU.
Yea that seemed super important to me
@@mickdipiano8768 Maybe Agatha's plan was to absorb her powers and not letting the Scarlett Witch be born. God knows what she wanted to do with the powers but she doesn't want the prophecy to realized. She was trying hard to manipulate her. Now, Wanda is born as Scarlett Witch, knows her identity, got the book.. a prophecy (Omen) just got real then just thought of the worst thing that could happen, possibly everything on the list could happen. Mephisto, Chthon, Multiverse, house of M, bigger hex etc.
@@AIIXIII0 see I thought when Agatha was surprised to hear Wanda could raise the dead she got excited because she wanted to revive her mom and her old coven. Like maybe three hundred years left her with some regrets of how things were and the one being that can undo her biggest mistake is the scarlet witch
@@bradkrauskopf2784 Could be or she thought that raising the dead = OP powers. I don't think anything about her backstory, felt that she want all that powers just for keeps. A power hungry greedy maniac. That's what Wandavision showed at least.
5:46 Loved the Tyler Durden flash.
Just stumbled across this vid. You are great! Your voice, timbre, and your use of genuine curiosity has me hooked! +1
Amazing video answering the questions guy!🔥🔥
7:23, *And* the "unleash hell Devil Spawn!" *and* as you said the Sr. Scratchy / Mr. Scratch name.
If Agatha was controlling him, she though Wanda was 'evil;' or dangerous then yea she might have him say that.
SCARLETT WITCH IS HERE 😍
Well done, sir! I've enjoyed all of your reviews on WandaVision and am looking forward to your eagle and insight focused on Falcon and Winter Soldier next.
4:00 I personally feel that ralph isn't who we think he is and there is more to his character. it's almost coincidental that he just happened to leave his headshot with his "name" on it on top of a bunch of other files all perfectly placed right out in the open and he doesn't even try to stop her from looking at them infact he chuckles when she says his name as if its fake, how often do you laugh when someone says your name even if it is funny sounding?
I assume if someone enters witness security they aren’t allowed to have a profession that puts them on display for the entire viewing public. I’m pretty sure they don’t keep their former name either
Marvel/Disney said we won't find out everything until we see Dr Strange.
Or maybe we did find out everything and the fanbase refuses to accept that because there theroys werent right
No one said that and dr strange will not introduced gazillion theoretical characters and concepts stupidly made by banwagon fans. Dr strange won't just make a scene explaining who dennis the mailman is 💀
What about the witsec guy, the engineer, Senor Scratchy, Hexagons, why Hayward was such a lame phase 1 style mustache twirler, why there were characters with similar powers fighting with skybeams in the end, why force setup for future projects that just detracted from the main plot... I could go on. I agree it was a great story as is, but THEY were the ones who brought all this stuff up just for it to go nowhere. It all just felt pointless, like the stuff people hated about the earlier phases, or Lost. If it didn't matter, why did THEY make it seem like it would?
@@solvseus agreed. They know how obsessive we are and how we will take a 5 second scene and come up with 100 theories. Marvel is known for “if they put it in then it means something”. Now idk if that’s true and I really hope they cut that shit out bc it kind of pissed me off lol you feel like you’ve invested yourself for nothing
@@linc2155 engineer is a skrull, senior scratchy is a demon bunny, hexagons are nods for hex which is power of wanda in comics, hayward is just part of mcu villain problem. Uuh? Pay attention to the show please.
5:46 hahaha the fight club brad pitt flash frame got me
16:01 I thought exactly the same thing! Instead, they have Monika tell her: "They'll never know what you've been throught." Oh yeah? I wonder how many of those town citizens lost members of their families before and fell into depression. "It's okay, you were sad"; doesn't give anyone the right to ruin someone else's life.
she cried.... she literally cried and thats how westveiw was made, then Agatha manipulated her, most of it was not her fault.
Some idiots are trying to make their own movie, and then blame others when they are proven wrong
I have to agree with you on this
Truth 🤷♂️
Oh come on. You think they casting Evan Peters was just a crazy coincidence? They wanted fans to speculate and build interest. But they didn't want to follow through. They wanted their cake and to eat it too.
@@asbrozek64 trolling
@@Skabanis I don't think he's trolling. He sounds sincere to me.
i'm actually saddened that Dottie was just a red herring because of what Agnes/Agatha Harkness said "Dottie is everything in this town" and i thought she was gonna be a major character but she was just a Westview civilian ...
Thats why we fans should not create unnecessary hype and expectations
agreed but i kinda liked it when she was like let my daughter be in a scene that was cool
@@laurenfoldenauer9985 yes nice acting
@@tonythakur7299 the show was setting us up for those things though. It was definitely intentional
It was Agatha all along.
WHAT!?! Peter’s just being a dude name bohner was AWESOME ❤️❤️❤️❤️ brilliant.
Okay, the whole "unleash hell demon spawn!" Quote was definitely a mephisto tease, even if just a tiny one.
Fans: tell us the meaning of the hexagons, and the why of everything!
Marvel: magic.
Fans: but why?!
Marvel: magic.
I suspect they were hexagons SOLELY to allow them to refer to them as "hexes." End of story.
@@NekoMouser A hex is a magic spell or charm that's meant to cause harm, aka magic.
@@Zurcwind Exactly.
Sorcerers: There's a Disturbance in New Jersey
Feige: Leave that alone
When is there not a disturbance in New Jersey.
It's also possible, that witches and sorcerers operate on a diferent "frequency", so they actualy didn't notice the Hex. And the only reason Dr. Strange did notice Loki's (and by extention Thor's) presence on the Earth is because he was monitoring Loki's movements specificaly (like some alarm, that goes off if Loki arrives). He even says so himself.
That the world is stocked with competing hostile magical forces and we aren't constantly having fights between them indicates that they can hide from each other well.
This show was a really pleasant surprise. I loved it.
They were plenty of Mephisto vibes not just the devil line, but the "unleash hell" and "demon spon" and other small ones. Marvel knew what they were doing by adding these things bc they know how the comics played out but oh well
I'm fine with the show not proving a bunch of fan theories right. I'm fine with the show being a smaller, self contained show that doesn't really set up too much for the bigger picture. What I'm not fine with is all of the little moments that were clearly set up but never payed off. Chekhov's gun and all that. Far too many red herrings. At least 80% of them had to be at least some kind of intentional
How do we know the “where is doctor strange during the hex” question won’t be answered in doctor strange 2?
It will be a hole until that movie (or any other piece of marvel media) closes it.
@@Vandreand thank you for your comment which is statement form of my question
@@Vandreand That doesn't make it a plot hole though. A plot hole is an inconsistent piece of information. This is simply an explained event, which in an ongoing series cannot be considered a plot hole.
@@Vandreand You don't know what a plot hole is. Just because the audience doesn't know something doesn't make it a plot hole.
"Where was Adrian during Rocky's training montage, plot hole."
That's you.
Thank you. I've watched a number of these videos explaining this or that about the MCU and you are the first intelligent human being I've found. You get it. You followed the plot. You grasp the concept of fiction. You ask NORMAL questions and provide reasonable answers. The insanity of most fan theories and their ridiculous attachments to them. And when an actor, director or producer provided information, you BELIEVED THEM rather than forcing it into a crazed anti-DIsney narrative. Thank you for existing.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not cannon" You lost me there, bub. Not a fanboy, but AT LEAST till season 5, AOS is part of the MCU, it has multiple connections (the Theta Protocol was mind blowing, showing were the hell that helicarrier that showed on Age of Ultron finale, was stored all along). Then in season 6 series went bananas, goin to space, the future, the past, alternate timelines, i mean, the writers really wen creative and i loved it, and one can say that with all the time tampering and universal shenanigans the agents went trough, that they created an alternate universe on their own, i'm all in on that concept, but not going to say so loose nor willy-nilly that "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is not cannon.
I don't think they'll adapt to the new mcu.. no longer cannon.. since there's not even a snap
It isnt canon in the main MCU anymore. Thats pretty much it. Just think of it being an alternate universe. There's just too much stuff that doesn't fit
Just to add, if there is a multiverse why would AOS not be cannon. It can technically all coexist with a multiverse..
@@JosePineda-jn8jk it does, but we are talking about within the universe all the other movies reside in. Not part of that
Yes I think the show was trying to be canon at that point but I feel like they’ve been retconned. The dark hold looks completely different and it is implied that Agatha has been in possession of the dark hold since her coven tried to axe her so agents of shield and that other Hulu show are retconned.
I love it when you go off!
Agatha from the comics works for Mephisto and when she was rendered powerless by Wanda she said "You have no idea what you've done". So it's safe to say we will be seeing him sometime in the foreseeable future
Also I do believe that "White Vision" will become the new Vision in the MCU
honestly i hope we dont see white vision. It just doesnt work. Vision is dead. Fans were sad, an entire series was made about it, and now theyll bring him back? I hope not. I hope white vision fulfills his mission of destroying vision (himself)
I put off watching it for ages but yea it really blew me away with how good it was
Great content yet again
White Vision is like a Time Lord who just regenerated.
White Vision is like a Time Lord who just regenerated...
and then was transformed into a cyberman.

“Brought nothing to the table”
Come on man, that’s like saying Thor Ragnorok was too serious and they should go back to the old way they used to make Thor movies!
Ya just dumb, broski!
This cleared everything up
Loved the cameos from actual TV sitcom actors. Maybe it's deeper for the director than even I know but Emma Caulfield and Debra Rupp, love them. Don't know if it qualifies as easter eggs.
