Wandavision

[Drunk Monk]

The last two episodes could have used a lot more Darcy.

Totally agree. She was a fav character. I didn't put together that she was the same role as in Thor until Tara clued me in. 

At first, I was with you with the fireball throwing. I started to think 'oh well, back into the MCU gratuitous spectacle.' But then it became a moving love story, and that turn got me a little misty. Overall, it was very well played. Impressive writing. There are surely holes if you pick at it, but I often think that's an intentional device of comic book writing, something to force fans to project into, take sides and invest in. Getting stuck into that MCU minutiae is a deep, deep rabbit hole from which there is no return. I'm sure the crew at fandom.com had a field day with this. 

I still don't really understand who Wanda and Vision are. I may have to rewatch Ultron. Or not. I think I've let go of caring who some of the MCU are. It's too much to think about. As long as I have a basic sense of what their powers are, 'tis 'nuf. But wasn't she the Scarlet Witch in Ultron? Oh never mind. Not going back to find out. I suppose I could just read up on it in fandom.com.

There was a tiny cliffhanger in the second after credit scene, or at least an implication that the character is going somewhere. I didn't understand it. I know if I was sitting next to Patrick, he would've gone ballistic and rattled off a ton of Scarlet Witch lore and postulated what it all meant. Yeah, not going there. 

Regardless of all that, I was very entertained. 

Not sure if I'll watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Here's a story - when we first moved to Svale, when my folks would meet with the real estate agent, they'd give me some money to buy a comic book at the drugstore in the same strip mall. I didn't read comics and knew very little about them. I picked up a Captain America on a lark, and at the end of that issue, Cap gets knocked down by Falcon and Bucky. I had no idea who they were. It was a weird ending and I never got the following comic to find out. But it has always stuck in the back of my mind. I wonder if I still have those comics stashed away somewhere. I'll wait for Greg's review.
