This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. FINAL THOUGHTS: Solid main cast and nothing else. The story is a nothing burger with a little gravy on top. Skipped a few eps, FF-ed through others, and watched the finale. Predictable, unsatisfying, and ultimately pointless. Nothing happens. It's bait for subscriptions alone.

------------------------------------------------------------------

It spiked my interest after reading some stellar reviews and thought, "Ok, an original idea, let's see where it goes".

2 episodes down, roughly an hour later, the show starts with some interesting setup and goes absolutely nowhere. The premise is overstaying its welcome at this point. Literally, nothing of consequence occurs and it's more than 20% than the total runtime. I'm starting to wonder about all these fantastic reviews. I was expecting some solid production quality, but it seems the most expensive bits (besides the main actor pair) are the end credits animations. The rest is so heavily and simplistically stylized that I'm not sure what to think of.

------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE 1: One ep later and now we know what's going on, sadly that doesn't change much of the expectations. There weren't many paths to take and this, was early predictable, depending on the timeline. Looking at reviews on the Tube, people had pretty much the same idea. This is just a weird show to exist. It doesn't provide much, it feels like an hour-long featurette stretched into multiple, smaller episodes just to have more content. But the problem remains, it's just aimless. You don't have much to look forwards to as a viewer. I'll probably FF my way through the rest. My prediction for the end is Wanda going bananas on the soldiers outside until she faces reality and all go home. It's a story going nowhere, but we shall see. The score remains unchanged.

------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE 2: The episodes are no more than 10 minutes of content. Nothing meaningful happens the rest of the time. They revealed the bad guy with episode 7 and from here on it's not really worth watching. This whole thing should have been done as a movie or 3x40 min long mini-series. It's just so incredibly pointless.… Expand

Eight episodes out of in this nine episode mini-series, and three quarters is pure filler. This is such a slow burn, we will starve before the meal starts. On top of that it goes full woke by episode seven, and is full White-man bad. IfEight episodes out of in this nine episode mini-series, and three quarters is pure filler.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Первый сериал Marvel Studios, который открывает 4 фазу и мультивселенную провалился. Шоураннеры сами не поняли, что и зачем сняли. Было вставлено множество сюжетных линий, которые просто смыли в унитаз в финале сериала.

!СПОЙЛЕРЫ!

Минусы:

- Слив персонажа Эвана Питерса

По поводу персонажа ходило много теорий, кем же он является: Ртуть из вселенной Людей-Икс, Мефисто, Кошмар, Хтон. Сами шоураннеры заявляли, что мы его еще увидим. НО, как оказалось, мы получили ситуацию уровня Мандарина из «Железного человека 3» и глаза Ника Фьюри из «Капитана Марвел» и персонажем Эвана Питерса оказался обычный житель Вествью.

- Клишированный Хэйуорд

Один из самых клишированный персонажей сериала. Плохой босс, который имеет свое видение на происходящее (естественно, отрицательное) и использует свои методы борьбы (естественно, плохие) с Вандой.

- Клишированная и слитая Агата Харкнесс

Тут, если честно не понятно, что хуже, то что она клишированная: «Ванда, я заберу все твои силы, просто потому что так написано в сценарии, не имея никакой на это мотивации» или то, что ее слили за несколько минут?

Ощущение, что шоураннеры очень хотели главного злодея в сериале, а как его прописать не придумали. Совершенно пустой персонаж, который существует в сериале, просто потому что это фильм Marvel и тут нужен антагонист.

- Слитый Белый Вижн и обесценивание концовки «Войны бесконечности»

Персонаж, который вызывал некую симпатию к себе, как к одному из ведущих злодеев, был слит также быстро, как и Агата. В добавок к этому, Вижн, созданный Вандой «открыл» ему прошлое оригинального Вижна, тем самым «воскресив» его, что обесценило всю драму смерти Вижна в конце ВБ.

- Слитое камео «уровня Люка Скайуокера в „Мандалорде“»

Как оказалось, то что Беттани и Олсен называли «актер, с которым Пол всегда хотел поработать» и «камео уровня Люка Скайуокера» оказался Пол Беттани в роли Белого Вижна… Да, этот персонаж вызывал симпатию, но не как на уровня Люка.

- Отсутствие мультивселенной

Сериал является открывающим в арке о мультивселенной, но по итогу на это нет даже намека.

- Слитый инженер

Все гадали, кто же является этим таинственным инженером? Рид Ричардс? Синее Чудо? Нет, это… а, его вообще не показали.

Плюсы: - Ситком

На мое удивление, ситкомная часть сериала оказалась куда более интересная, чем то, что было дальше. Хоть в силу того, что ситкомы сейчас не имеют большой популярности, в сериале они реализованы отлично, играя на ностальгических чувствах тех, кто их смотрел.

- История и развитие Ванды

Самая эмоциональная часть сериала, открывающая новый взгляд на главную героиню. Начиная от флэшбеков с бомбой Старка и опытами с камнем бесконечности, заканчивая становлением ею злодейкой (судя по всему).… Expand

The series starts out very slow with its attempt to be sitcoms from each decade progressing, but it hints at a lot of build up with countless references and small easter eggs.

The pay off when everything is revealed is what you're reallyThe series starts out very slow with its attempt to be sitcoms from each decade progressing, but it hints at a lot of build up with countless references and small easter eggs.

The pay off when everything is revealed is what you're really going to watch the show for, but the problem with that is- there is no payoff.

It's almost completely misdirection- without spoiling anything the biggest things that come from this is that we find out that the characters we already know are superheroes are superheroes.

It's as disappointing as finding out the aliens that invaded a planet that's 70% water are allergic to water- we find out that the scarlet witch is the scarlet witch and she uses chaos magic...

But that'd be like finding out Charles Xavier is Professor X, or Magneto controls metals.

The show presents itself as some sort of mystery that leaves you wondering what'll happen- but when nothing happens, it reveals it's really just an origin story for a character who has already been in multiple movies.

One other new superhero is introduced, finds out she has powers, and then spends half the rest of the season doing nothing. She's just there.

And the message is fairly baffling- if we were to see this from the perspective of the 'villain' with Wanda being the antagonist the person they cast as the villain ends up being a far more credible hero of the story if you were to break it down logically.

It's fun enough to watch for the tidbits, the acting and the subtle hints seem to be pretty clever- but it ends up going nowhere. If it were canceled before the final two episodes leaving us never knowing how it ended I think it'd have been more satisfying.… Expand

The first three episodes are an atrocious, wink wink love letter to old, uninteresting sitcoms with dribbles of actual plot.

WandaVision is a masterful debut into television for the MCU to develop its characters in much more meaningful ways and add complexity to the storytelling all the while expanding the universe into new and uncharted territories. WandaVision isWandaVision is a masterful debut into television for the MCU to develop its characters in much more meaningful ways and add complexity to the storytelling all the while expanding the universe into new and uncharted territories. WandaVision is surprisingly skilful in emulating sitcoms over the decades and setting up the tragedy we are about to witness later in the season. The show is elevated with another layer of mystery Including who is really pulling the strings? and how this facade is about to be torn down?. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany are a blast, with Olsen particularly stands out with one of her career-best performances. To those impatient viewers, I would suggest that to stop watching the show weekly and binge the entire season when all the episodes are out.… Expand

I'm not going to dig into the particulars that make wild-eyed fanboys/girls squee. (Fanboys/girls of Marvel and of vintage sitcoms) All those elements were done reasonably well (mostly).

(Fanboys/girls of Marvel and of vintage sitcoms) All those elements were done reasonably well (mostly). What gives "Wandavision" a "4" (generously) rating is the bloat. There is an inexplicable trend in streaming TV to pad out series by about 40%. "Wandavision" could have been done in half the time and been far sharper and more entertaining.… Expand

When I watched the show I had the feeling that they had far more fun producing it then I had watching it. Unfortnuatley a lot of the show is just boring. Yes I get the jokes and the little things when something is "wrong" in the Sitcom World.When I watched the show I had the feeling that they had far more fun producing it then I had watching it. Unfortnuatley a lot of the show is just boring. Yes I get the jokes and the little things when something is "wrong" in the Sitcom World. But it was like 95% boring and 5% interesting. I found the first 3 episodes very boring, then episode 4 was very good and interesting. But afterwards it was still somehow mediocre.
I found the different sitcom "intros" and the "Aghata song" quite funny. They really managed the caputre the vibe of the old shows, but unfortunatley I still found the rest of it just boring. I now also have the feeling I realy wasted my life when I was younger and watched sitcoms.… Expand

Somewhat enjoyable, but very over-rated. It does start a little slow and the laugh tracks at first (mild spoiler I guess) get old. It's fun to watch the Vision, but Wanda can't really carry a show for too long. The ending seems a little uninspiring.

Довольно неплохо для первого сериала про супергероев Марвел, хотя весь сюжет можно было уместить в один 2-х часовой фильм, но подписки на Disney+ сами себя не продадут.Довольно неплохо для первого сериала про супергероев Марвел, хотя весь сюжет можно было уместить в один 2-х часовой фильм, но подписки на Disney+ сами себя не продадут.

It's not the worse entry in the MCU, but it does collapse in on itself. It starts of strong, but none of the build up has any meaningful pay off.

I don't care is how I sum up my experience with this show. I stopped at episode 4 and couldn't be bothered past that. I just don't care enough to watch any more. I was told the series got better in later episodes and it doesn't. I don't careI don't care is how I sum up my experience with this show. I stopped at episode 4 and couldn't be bothered past that.

Nothing was done in the story to invest me into the fate of these characters, just thrown strait into some kind of problem which is so abstract and I just don't care.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wandavision es una interesante propuesta de Marvel que lo trae en forma sitcom, que tiene un ambiente de los años 80s.
La serie llega a hacer entretenida pero tiene varios problemas, uno de ellos es el gran escandalo que provocaron a traer de vuelta a Evan Peters como Quicksilver, esto provoco muchísima especulación acerca del multiverso que al final termino en nada. Otro error que tiene esta serie fue la comedia, esta no llega hacer muy agradable, y esto provoca que sea muy tediosa. Y por último seria la falta de villanos, al principio era interesante como Wanda era la villana de la historia, pero después lo cambian por otro personaje llamado "Agatha" este llega a tener un desarrollo muy pobre, sufre de una falta de motivación y esto provoca que no la tomes enserio, después sale Whitevision que fue un personaje que se veía prometedor pero al final resulto ser olvidable.
El final de la serie es malo, ya que esta repleta de clichés, peleas absurdas, se desasen de Quicksilver, no hay multiverso, y no pasa nada interesante, en general una DECEPCIÓN. Conclusión: wandavision es una serie que tiene buenas actuaciones, llega hacer interesante pero también decepcionante. son de esas series que te resultan entretenidas pero jamás las quieres volver a ver.… Expand

Is it interesting and fun? Yes. Is it an action drama that pretends to be a mystery thriller? Yes, and it suffers for it.
