WandaVision Review

WandaVision is the MCU series that kicked off Phase 4 of the MCU as Matt Shakman directed the episodes in the series and was released on Disney Plus in 2021. There were lots of theories from which turned out they were never supposed to happen which upset several fans, and I honestly didn't care. I thought it was an amazing series.

Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany both returns as Wanda Maximoff and Vision and they were brilliant as in the films they are pushed to the side, so it was great to see them front and center. Both of them have amazing chemistry as they're the best MCU couple and have amazing acting, especially Olsen as she nailed every scene from it being eerie, corny, and emotional. The supporting cast is brilliant as we see Kathryn Han as Agatha, Teyonoah Parris as Monica Rambeau, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, and Randall Park as Jimmy Woo who all steals the show when they are on screen. Evan Peters who stars in a mystery role, haha, does a great job when he's on-screen too.

The series takes place weeks after the events of Endgame and is about how Wanda is doing with Vision's death as she creates this hex where she controls just about everything. Wanda's story in this series is great as she is the main focus in it. This series is about her finally becoming Scarlet Witch which does so perfectly. Each episode is unique as it pays homage to past sitcoms which makes it unique. There is a mystery unfolding in each episode too and it does so impressively as it gets eerie and dark. It's thrilling and had emotional moments throughout it which are done so perfectly as it is heartwarming and sad at the same time.

A minor flaw is that I felt they could have done more and introduced more but I understand why they didn't as it could get to the point where it does not make sense at all.

Overall this series is unique compared to everything else in the MCU. Even though I'm sure this is a limited series, I would like to see a Season 2. I can't wait to see what the MCU has in store for Wanda and Vision after this.
