Marvel delivered an unprecedentedly successful superhero universe that culminated in the record-breaking Avengers: Endgame (Spider-Man: Far from Home is actually the last movie of the Infinity Saga, but let’s ignore that). With the first overarching story ending after twenty-three films, the MCU now begins a new Era. Basically, Phase Four is truly another Phase One, where viewers will meet new heroes to root for.

So many missed opportunities in this series makes for a disappointing watch, although the series does end on a higher note.
The premise is sound - a powerful mutant (oh, we're not allowed to use that word) - sorry, witch, is grieving for her love and reverts to what she thinks is the idealised family - based on TV sitcoms. Here you could do so much - an episode per decade (nup, some are randomly skipped), add in creepy themes (this is started, but never really done well), expound on the puppet-master theme, explore grieving, or having a family as a Supe, or trying to be normal.

WandaVision is a fairly standard MCU entry disguised as a unique MCU entry, and its biggest problem is a lack of commitment to the bit. The eerie set-up of an idealistic, suburban rom com used as a false life for Wanda to live is genius(!!) and deserves so much better than being knocked to the curb by the final few episodes in exchange for more bland concepts. The scattered focus with all the characters means that not one idea really gets as much development as you would hope, which is especially prevalent once the whole thing wraps up.

Great start to the Disney+ MCU TV Shows. Really different from the rest of the MCU in the structure of sitcoms and TV dramas. The episodic nature really brought fun fan theories and conjecture to the show week after week that really made the show way more enjoyable as a fan. Great set up for the Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.
This was perfection. Way to tell a unresolved story that needed resolving. Heartbreaking but fun. Recommend to ALL Marvel fans.
Wanda was never a character I cared for or really wanted to explore beyond the basics. However, thanks to this show, I absolutely love Wanda. I feel like most of us can relate to her in not wanting to let go of someone you love ... And you go so far as to wrap them in this bubble in your mind/heart.
Every person in this series delivered PERFECTION. Elizabeth Olsen is superb.
