    One of the two Marvel series that I was unable to follow on a weekly basis, automatically losing all the theories related to Mephisto and everything that could potentially have happened and not happened from the first episode until the end.

She definitely remains one of Marvel's best so far.… Expand

    Wanda and Vision are two of the absolute most uninteresting avengers and to start the MCU's TV-era with their series was a brave decision, I have to admit. But it was surprisingly good!

It had a good mystery and the big revelation was unexpected (not in the best way) but it made Wanda more of an anti-hero than an Avenger I should trust. The villain was totally cliché, by the way, and the finale was just nonsense. Period. WandaVision is a two-headed coin, and the difference between the two sides is way too big. Sad, because now, we only have a good WandaVision series, not an amazing one.… Expand

Unfortunately, it’s retro throwbacks aren’t very good. I don’t think I laughed even once until the 6th episode, which embraced the more rambunctious comedy of early 2000s hits like Malcolm in the Middle. What ultimately kept me watching despite that was the underlying mystery of the whole thing. The blatantly bizarre premise for a superhero show will naturally have you asking “what the heck iiiiiiiissss this crap?” Something the show plays off of well by offering subtle clues that nothing is what it seems to keep you interested during these duller segments.

    The closer this draws to a close the more it begins to resemble a traditional MCU flick, with the same quality of action and visuals you would expect to see on theater screens. It even fleshes out Wanda Maximoff in some compelling ways that finally make her as developed as the other heroes she has been standing alongside for years now. The problem is with the two title Avengers being trapped in such a bizarre scenario, the storytelling in this half is primarily centered around characters portrayed by Kat Dennings, Randall Park, Teyonah Paris, and Josh Stamberg. All of whom are supremely annoying. Particularly Dennings who I honestly wanted to reach into my TV and strangle. So while this portion is a bit more exciting, it’s still not very fulfilling and further exemplifies how WandaVision’s biggest fault is that it’s just kind of boring overall. Especially since you can predict quite a few elements of its plot fairly easily.

    This isn’t entirely shippable however. The events here will have a significant impact on and tie directly into upcoming projects such as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It’s also nice to see Disney and Marvel do something truly new and original with their cinematic universe for the first time since The Avengers. So for the hardcore devotees and followers of this sprawling, multimedia continuity, this is worth watching and may even be essential viewing. For the less invested who simply tune in on these properties for a good time, this might not be for you as the entertainment value varies wildly.    … Expand

    The starting episodes were Little odd and boring but the setup was good once the episode 3 the drainge man entry thing happens it was a roller coaster ride from then!
    The sitcom style openings and setting was nostalgic and amazing and the Comedy was sarcastic
    the whole backstory of wanda and the agatha was literally jaw-dropping,the wanda's house bombing scene was depressing as hell.
    the pietro stuff was surprising but it was a wasted opportunity. the Sword stuff was intriguing and the west-view hex was awesome.
    the kids were brilliant specially at the end fight. coming to action and shots it was amazing the storyline uncovering every thing one by one was amazing and the acting was brilliant
    the "4th wall breaking" episode was literally awesome and the last episode was full of mindblowing stuff,
    the ending sacrifices and fight and all goodbye thing was emotionally well handled and the wanda's sacrifice was feelable it was hard its well done. Overall it was brilliant series and the end-credits specially the scarlet-witch destroyer thing was hyping me as hell! and special thing the Adverts in it was Brilliantly hilarious,its a Mind-blowing TV-Series!    … Expand

I almost quit after 2 episodes despite liking the ideas, style and characters as it was a bit boring. From episode 3 onward the show had won me over and is truly 10/10 material. This is probably the reason why there are mixed reviews and opinions. When the show was announced I was interested in the idea especially because Vision was seemingly destroyed in Avengers Endgame and Scarlet Witch aka Wanda was traumatized. After seeing the trailers it looked like something I would never expect (Meant in a positive way). This was right as the show is a mixture of genres like superhero, sitcom, family drama, reality show and self discovery / hero's journey. I like the story, character development, twists, ideas and interactions. Because of spoilers I cant go into details only that if follows Wanda Maximoff after the events of Avengers Endgame and her struggles to cope with her loses. Like I said it takes a bit but then works excellent and is unique or better said refreshing. There will also be consequences and developments. The cast delivers a praiseworthy performance. Lets start with the leading roles Elisabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as Wanda Maximoff and Vision. The description power-couple comes to my mind and I genuinely cared for them. They are so relatable, immersive and heartwarming. Also they can deliver a full variety of emotions and use their talents to great potential. Then we have Kathryn Hahn who positively surprised me and is excellent. I liked her already in Crossing Jordan which I recommend also by the way. There is Teyonah Parris who is excellent as Monica Rambeau and I want to see more from her which is also valid for Kat Dennings as Dr. Darcy Lewis and Randall Park as Agent Woo. The rest also delivers and help to fully sell the characters and story. Visually the show deserved a lot of praise too. The special effects are excellent as expected from Marvel. However the sets and mask / make up may be even better. They have many styles and always archive the intended result to deliver the right atmosphere (I am a bit vague to avoid spoilers). The soundtrack is fine for me and helps to create the right atmosphere. Lastly I could feel the emotional impact and feelings of the characters as they always manage to succeed in the show not tell rule. Overall this is an excellent show and I recommend it. Like already said the first 2 episodes are a bit slower and so a warning is fair. The rest is truly awesome and 10/10 material. With the slower start I give a 7/10 as I almost quit and only a praise of the later episodes by a co-worker avoided that. Thank you Inga by the way.… Expand

    I had been thinking of watching WandaVision ever since it was announced, but it is only now that I finally got to watch it. And wow this is so good! I had wanted a Marvel show to be as good as a DC show, and this show is the one which finally reached that level (I haven't watched Falcon & the Winter Soldier and Loki yet so I don't know if they are also this good). I liked it so much that II had been thinking of watching WandaVision ever since it was announced, but it is only now that I finally got to watch it. And wow this is so good! I had wanted a Marvel show to be as good as a DC show, and this show is the one which finally reached that level (I haven't watched Falcon & the Winter Soldier and Loki yet so I don't know if they are also this good). I liked it so much that I watched the entire season in one sitting. I am writing this review as soon as I have finished the show, so everything is still fresh in my mind.
    I have seen many reviews here saying that the first few episodes were bad, or the reviews which came after the first few episodes should be ignored. But personally that was what I liked so much about it. The problem with the show is that it was released weekly instead of just giving the entire season. If the latter was done so, it would have been really good. Seeing how Wanda and Vision are moving into a new decade of sitcom in every episode was actually a pretty good idea, and it would have been perfect if it was revealed slowly that this is a fake reality that Wanda had created.
    And that is exactly where my problem comes from this show - S.W.O.R.D. I personally hate seeing the US Army in any superhero or sci-fi show. I don't know why but they have a very boring touch to them, like they are only normal people following orders. And there always has to be this one arrogant leader who will want to take down the protagonist just because he is weaker than them. Godzilla, Pixels, it never fails. And here they straight up gave the exposition. They weren't even needed in the show, and it would have been better if Vision slowly learnt about the reality and then Agnes explained everything. That would have been a much more shocking reveal. But no, they had to copy The Boys.
    But other than that I liked everything else about it. Forget Marvel shows, I don't think MCU has ever gone this deep with their storytelling. It's a pity that the first Phase 4 film was Black Widow which was basically the opposite of what this is. The animation, the fight scenes, the acting, the plot twists - everything was phenomenal. I had already received too many spoilers about this show from The Film Theorist and Pitch Meeting, but still I went in and really liked it. The quality of this show is better than most MCU movies (looking at you Black Widow, I won't forget you this easily).
    WandaVision is undoubtedly the best show Marvel has made, and most probably also the best show that had come on Disney+ Hotstar at the time. Unlike most good superhero shows like Doom Patrol, The Boys, Titans, Daredevil or Watchmen, this one can actually be enjoyed with the whole family. Although it's a pity that one has to watch all the 23 MCU movies to understand this show (not exactly all but one thing leads to another so yeah), but if you like Marvel and always wanted something about Scarlet Witch, absolutely go for it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WandaVision is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, it is my favorite miniseries ever, my favorite Marvel show, my favorite show of 2021, and my 3rd favorite show of all time. Elizabeth Olsen's performance was astounding, one of the best performances I have ever seen definitely Emmy worthy, she gave such a beautifully complex, deep, and emotional powerful performance while at times also begin funny her portrayal of mental health issues and having to find life after deep pain, loss, and losing everything was so heartbreakingly authentic and beautiful. Kathryn Hahn, Paul Bettany, Evan Peters, Teyonah Parris, and Kat Dennings performances were stupendous. Also Julian Hilliard, Randall Park, Debra Jo Rupp, Jett Klyne, Josh Stamberg, and Asif Ali gave pretty terrific supporting performances. The visual effects were extraordinary especially Wanda's powers, Agatha's powers, Wanda becoming The Scarlet Witch, Wanda studying the Darkhold in her astral form, Vision's powers, and Wanda's magic barrier. The writing was superb, the story and screenplay were so we'll done and the tone shifts were so we'll done and so cool and it was so beautiful to see the portrayal of mental health issues and loss portrayed so authentically and respectful in a genre that doesn't always touch on these type of subjects. The character development was exceptional especially with Wanda, Agatha, Darcy, Monica, and Vision, Wanda's development was especially amazing seeing her life before the Avengers, her highs, her lows, and everything she has went through and the reveal and transformation of her as The Scarlet Witch. The costumes were phenomenal especially all of the authentic period specific costumes and costumes wore by Elizabeth Olsen (especially The Scarlet Witch outfit), Kathryn Hahn (especially the Witch dress in the last two episodes), Paul Bettany, Kat Dennings, Evan Peters, and Teyonah Parris. The makeup and hairstyling was outstanding especially the authentic period specific makeup and styling and the makeup and hairstyling on Kathryn Hahn, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany (especially his white Vision and Vision makeup), Teyonah Parris, Evan Peters, Kat Dennings, Jett Klyne, Debra Jo Rupp, and Julian Hilliard. The music was excellent especially the Agatha All Along song and the opening themes. The set designs were spectacular loved the period specific sets they were so authentic and loved the nostalgia. I also loved all of the past sitcom homages. This was an A++ series just loved how experimental and unique it was and the finale is my favorite finale of all time.… Expand

    Until now, 'Wandavision' has successfully managed to homage the sitcom, build an interesting intrigue, and keep Marvel fans invested. Yeah, the acting and narrative it's kind of weird, but I think it all fits into this fragmented story they're trying to tell. We'll have to keep on watching to see if it's all worth it. It's good to see Marvel diverging from its so well proved formula.
