@@John_Locke_108 Correct. The 4th episode gives you some backstory up to the end of WV episode 3, and the rest will be explained by the end of the series. But this series was released before Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness and leads into that movie, so if you've already seen that (as you said you did), you must have been very confused by her 2 sons (who first appeared in WandaVision) and her desire to see them again. Watching this series should provide that perspective. You just need to be a little patient; this series is a slow burn, as are several of the Disney Marvel shows, though most of them explain what is happening a bit faster than WV. (Except Loki, that one takes quite a while to build and reveal things too.)
For me this show is one of the best MCU projects post ENDGAME, it's so different from what were used to see from Marvel. I think everyone who watches it gets confused ( and gets frustrated by that _Stand by_ ) until episode 4 kinda starts explaining what's happening . I hope you enjoy it, too !!!
I feel like people who say this forget people can have different opinions. Its weird to come up with theories of why people don't like it when there are thousands of reviews and videos about it. Just open your ears
and trust us, we were all just as disturbed and confuzzled as you guys. remember, this wasn't a binge-able show, it was coming out week by week, so we had days to sit and stew between episodes and try to figure out wtf was happening. it's definitely worth it though! oh and make sure you check for after credit scenes on every episode - i can't remember which ones had them, but a few did. and pay attention to those commercials!
YES! For me half the fun of watching this series was making theories between the episodes and these commercials! And getting confused more and more with next episodes up to ep 4, I don't think binnge watching it gives the same feel like waiting
I wasn’t confused at all. I knew what was happening. Because I knew who and what she was. But marvel trolled the fans for sure. Because I was expecting Mephisto and maybe even nightmare lol
This series is by far my favorite from the MCU “shows”. The tributes to staple TV eras are elaborate and have great attention to detail. The performances are so well done. Props to Liz Olsen 🖤❤️🖤
Personally I think Loki is overall far more consistent, but Elizabeth Olsen really shines in the fake TV show bits. Just doesn't stick the landing too well imo.
Some of the eps gave post credits, i want to say that starts at ep 7 and continues through the series….but i could be wrong about which eps, so it would be smart to just check with each ep
@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse If the Wandavision finale wasn't as rushed or just a CGI battle I feel like it would be more consistent and put a nice finishing touch to the series. But Loki and Wandavision are by far the best MCU shows.

@cailanloki2450 Can you articulate why you think so, instead of just saying no and leaving it unjustified. The show objectively gives us incredible reveals at late as episode 08. Are you just hating on the last episode because a RUclipsr told you to?
@@ThwipThwipBoom I even disagree with this. The only part I hated was that dumb "they'll never know what you sacrificed for them" line where Monica tries to justify Wanda's terrorism.
absolutely love the utter confusion on people faces with this show. i miss the days when this 1st came out and i was equally confused and the thrill of discovering things as the show went on. peak disney plus era.
This is peak MCU for me. Nothing in the Marvel universe compares to the brilliance of WandaVision. Every single aspect of this show is top-notch. There's so many layers to everything going on, and Elizabeth Olsen and Kathryn Hahn gave the best performances in the entire MCU.
I remember sitting in the parking lot on my lunch breaks watching this as it came out. Then checking threads online to see what people were theorizing; it was so entertaining all around. This show was all anyone talked about weekly
It’s very important to know where the show falls in the timeline. This is after endgame, but before that Multiverse movie you were referencing with the kids
i watched this episode by episode week by week when it first came out. i was so confused. the theories that went around online trying to disect the show is amazing. im so excited to see yall figure it out piece by piece
So, it could just be me, but I took episode one to be I Love Lucy (50s), episode two to be Bewitched (60s), and episode three to be Brady Bunch (70s). Also, I think literally everyone was confused as hell about what was happening when watching this the first time (without having already been spoiled or anything). It was definitely an interesting watch!
@@Montcoshire Makes sense! I know they were around the same time frame. I've seen I Love Lucy, but I've never seen Dick Van Dyke (though now that you mention it, I think they did mention that right at the start of the video).
WandaVision is perfectly done. I loved the different eras, brough me back to what i watched as a kid. The way they played with the aspect ratio and saturations. Loki is great, Moon Knight was good fun. The rest are ok-fun to dreadful.
Just a reminder, Wandavision occurs before Dr. Strange & the Multiverse of madness. This is important to recognize because of Wandas Character arc. You'll understand by the end of WandaVision. Wandavision is the connective tissue between where we left off in end game & how she was in Multiverse of Madness.
I hated Multiverse of Madness. What they did to Wanda’s character was a disservice to her, and to the great work done in WandaVision. Much more violence-driven than character-driven. A waste of good actors, too. Really turned me off to the MCU, although I remain a big Loki fan and hope they don’t ruin that, too.
@@Historian212no her character makes sense. She got the book of the damned at the end of wandavision and it took hold of her so she obsessed over finding her kids once she learned how to dreamwalk from the book. The book is what caused her behaviour and its very understandable in multiverse of madness.. that powerful of a character cant only be for good especially with all of her trauma and loss. I loved multiverse of madness for bringing out more of her power and in the end she came to her senses and destroyed all books of the damned.. and obviously dont believe shes dead
@@Historian212 Nah, Multiverse of Madness was great and incredibly underrated. Raimi finally gave us an actually unique take on a Marvel movie. The style, all the nods to Raimi's other works and horror in general, the breakneck pacing, the insane cameos. The culmination of Wanda and Strange's character arcs so far, it was all so good.
Each episode does pay homage to the eras that they are set around. For instance, the first episode does acknowledge the Dick Van Dyke show from the 1950's so much that they had none other than Dick Van Dyke on set as a consultant during filming.
It was amazing that they picked up on that immediately and he knew exactly the reference of Dick Van Dick tripping over the chair in the opening credits.
Out of the many details I love about this show, I ADORE how much they respect the camera angles and shots that each of these shows had back in the day and how whenever something weird happens they start using modern camera shots (like dramatic zoom ins or a moving takes). It's such a subtle way of indicating there's something else going on but so so effective.
I can’t believe the two more involved Marvel fans let you watch Multiverse of Madness before this! This series adds so much meaning to that movie. It’s fun to do your reactions to this regardless, of course. ^_^
I agree, Wandavision before Multiverse of Madness and Loki before Quantumania would have made more sense. Now you may end up spending time trying to connect dots between movies and may lose focus on some of the content presented in the shows.
yeah, seems like a very stupid thing to do, especially having you reference things from madness that basically has you working in reverse and not getting the full effect they should have had in Madness 😋 ... if they even would have 😉
So, if no one has said it yet, this is a series that is best watched after "End Game" and before "Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness." Just keep watching and it all will make some sort of sense. Most things in the Marvel Universe tends to just flow and you really don't want to get too far out of order, or--CONFUSION! Great reaction for the first three episodes!
i just feel like i need to let you know that when you guys do the intro i always say the "badd medicine is back!!" line out loud because i'm just so excited to watch the reaction😂 always appreciate the work you do, guys! been waiting for this wandavision reaction. thank you!
I consider Wandavision and The Mandalorian season 1 and 2 the golden era of Disney plus shows. The debates and theories these shows generated back then omg, it was so fun. I also find the first episode to be very unsettling and I love it, probably not a popular opinion lol
No you had the right reaction like me. I know Wanda and Vision from the Avengers movies but after the second episode I couldn’t continue not because it was bad but I couldn’t see where it was going. Fast forward to Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness!Once I heard a reference to Wanda and “what happened in Westview.”,I paused the film and started WandaVision again! It’s now my second favorite show after all of Stranger Things! I promise you gentlemen will love this journey!
Yes. We were as confused as you guys, like totally lost. We got 3 episodes released, then weekly episodes and the internet exploded with theories and crazy ideas. Be patient, this show is really good. Wandavision and Loki are the best in my opinion.
This is probably the best of all the Marvel Disney+ shows. It starts out leaving you confused but slowly unfolds over the next few episodes and is just really brilliant.
No spoilers- all I will say is that everything will be revealed, trust me! I feel like you might have already gotten some of the answers since you've seen some shows that came after this (but maybe they didn't make sense to you at the time), so you might pick up on some things before those of us who saw this when it first came out. The structure of this series is absolutely brilliant and one of those things that you will appreciate more as you get to the end and see how it plays out. Can't wait to re-watch along with you!
This and Loki are my absolute favorite Disney plus shows. Don't worry if you don't understand all shall be revealed! But i will enjoy your confusion 😂😂
In general, Marvel anything can be confusing if you have not watched everything in order leading up to it because they just take for granted that you've seen all of it and they don't take the time to explain anything. It's actually one of the things I love about them because of reading so many series that usually start a "previously on" type explaining. That being said, I think everyone was as confused as you were after the first 3 episodes and I think they were made that way on purpose. It will all be explained later. Just for FYI - E1: Dick Van Dyke Show (50's) E2: Bewitched (60's) E3: The Brady Bunch (70's)
The best Disney plus series today. Love how each week it kepts us guessing on who was in charge of Westview and who was going to pop out next. Excited for you guys to enjoy it
I don't know if you caught it but the 2nd episode was meant to be 60's style since she's wearing the pants. And I think it was very reminiscent of Bewtiched. Also the other commercials (episode 2 and 3) talk about Hydra, so that's the Marvel reference you're looking for
This is a show that by episode three I was ready to give it up. I told myself by the end of episode three is I wasn't hooked, I would not watch anymore. But the end of episode three intrigued me to watched the fourth episode and boy I am glad I did. This ended up being one of my favorite shows. Can't wait to see your guys reaction!
I had EXACTLY the same journey. After the first 2 episodes I was ready to bail. Halfway through episode 3 I was all but resigned to giving up on the show. Then at about the midpoint it got interesting and by the end I was intrigued enough to watch episode 4 and never looked back.
My favorite of the MCU shows tbh. So damn good. Each ep moves up by a decade. And everything from visuals to music to performances nailed it perfectly. Ep 1, 50s, has that I Love Lucy/Dick Van Dyke Show vibe. They had Van Dyke as a consultant on making a show in that era. Ep 2, 60s, harder to spot but it spoofs on Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. Both of those shows feature magical wives that have to keep their powers hidden and started in black and white but transitioned into color in later seasons. They had a live studio audience for those first two eps, rather than a laugh track. Then Ep 3, 70s, leaps into Brady Bunch, as you noticed. Ep 4 pops OFF. Very excited for you guys! There won't be any end credits scenes until the last 3 eps, so you don't have to worry about it til then.
This is what I was hoping the Marvel shows would be. Taking chances, pushing the boundaries, seeing what they can get away with. Use the movies as the big mainstream money makers, use the shows to "safely" experiment with the Marvel formula. Then this is the only one that does anything close to that.
"Then this is the only one that does anything close to that." That's not true. Werewolf By Night, Loki, Moon Knight etc.... would like to have a word with you.
@@JohnGraves1985 Werewolf By Night came out after I was pretty much done with Marvel, and I didn't know it was even a marvel thing until weeks after it came out, so I never saw it. Loki is VERY Marvel... just cause it doesn't have a big fight at the end doesn't mean it isn't. Moon Knight is also pretty Marvel, just has an interesting hook that sets it apart.
Bros....the theories that sprung during this shows run were out of this world and amazing. What a time it was. It was the watercooler work talk every week.
You nailed "The Dick Van Dyke Show..." Also, the last song was because Marcia Brady was obsessed with Davy Jones on The Brady Bunch and she was thrown right out of that Brady-like house and that era.
I’m like Oak, I love the MCU movies but haven’t watched all the series and stuff, but I did watch this series. Yes, we were all as confused as you were in the beginning of the series. By now you may have watched the whole thing and know what’s coming, if not you soon will and all will make sense. This came before Multiverse of Madness and you will actually understand the movie much better once you have finished this. Great reaction guys!!
Oh Man! When this show came out the discourse on the internet was huge, the fan theories, finding secrets, the overall mystery of why what's happening is happening. One of the best Marvel TV Shows, absolutely fantastic. So glad you guys are covering this And yes! Multiple references to different TV series.
When this was premiering, i was living with a friend during our college COVID year. And every Friday night, the new epsidoe would drop and we would stop all school work and watch the episode together. When I tell you we would pause the episode and get like 2 invhes from the screen to analyze any potential clues or easter eggs. It was a good stress relief. We would look up all articles wrotten about the week's episode and put in our own theories that never ended up panning out funnily enough.
Not gonna lie, one of my fav parts of this channel is exposing Oak to nerd culture, with sci fi, fantasy, animation and so on. He seems like a guy that life taught to be tough, but still has that inner child that's digging all this, maybe it was becoming a dad that did it. So when there's a nerdy/kid show like this and he's not in it's a bummer, so series like these are awesome! It'll be interesting to navigate this without The Answer to help with confusions lol. (I will say, if you both think about it, it's funny what this channel did to you both when you consider that you've given things like Avatar, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and etc time and attention before a marvel series about fighting powers and weapons )
The sitcom episodes tickled me, since I grew up watching TV starting in the 60s. It was fun figuring out what shows were represented in each episode! And the fact that it was on weekly, prr-streaming-binge style, added to the ambiance. 🙂
This show was such a trip when you had to wait a week for each episode. So many questions, so few answers, and what answers you got just raised more questions. It was a brilliant piece of storytelling and absolutely captivating. Speculation ran wild and crazy fan theories popped up everywhere as we all tried to make sense of what was happening. Those of us who knew comics were still confused as it could have been any number of potential storylines.
Would say most of us were utterly baffled, at least as far as what was actually happening. Those of us who had been watching the MCU since the very beginning were of course drawing all kinds of connections between happenings in the show and things we had seen in previous movies, but by this point it was all just guesswork. The show by this point had been a slow burn, and we knew Wanda and Vision, but it was just a great mystery; everyone I knew at the time was delighted by how confused we were.
44:20 Its hard to catch, but if you look closely at the Stark toaster in the 1st episode, the light on it starts blinking in red. The sound of the tone that it makes when it beeps has importance in a later episode.
OMG I'm so excited for this!!!!! I'm stuck at work till 5 but I'm going to get some good dinner and save it for after work. I hope you guys realize how much you do for us all... even on my worst days when I feel depressed, I'm over stimulated, or just not feeling it, you're uploads just turn it all around. You're 4 of the greatest influences of the past couple years of my life. I'm just glad you guys are around. Thanks -Trey from Ashland Virginia USA.
one thing i read about....for any scene where they "stayed" in the moment, they used special effect fo that era...so in the scene in the first episode with wanda in the kitchen...it was all wireworks and practical effects
This is by far my favourite show. But I was really confused the first time i saw that too, and i know a few things about marvel, so don´t be so concerned about yourself xD and for the timeline: it´s right after endgame, i think about 2 weeks later (And i would love some older marvel reactions from you guys :))
Watched this series so many times and it never gets old ❤ keep watching it gets good. Also even with knowing the whole back story, it’s still super confusing the very first time watching WandaVision but it all comes together
9:49 In case nobody has brought it up yet, keep in mind Wandavision takes place before Multiverse of Madness. Idk what you remember from that movie but some things from this show are kinda spoiled in it.
44:28 each of the commercials had references to the MCU: Stark toaster, Strucker watch (the villain at the start of Age of Ultron who experimented on Wanda & Pietro with the Mind Stone), and Hydra Soak soap (Hydra being the villains of the first two Captain America movies).
I grew up watching TV in the seventies and eighties and I remember it was very common for productions to hide unscripted pregnancies behind ridiculous objects like bowls of fruit, shopping bags, and elevated kitchen counters, which is how the Brady Bunch hid Florence Henderson's real life pregnancy. When Phylicia Rashad was pregnant, The Cosby Show hollowed out the bed on set so that her pregnant belly would not be visible. Even scripted pregnancies and deliveries were handled in much the same way we see in episode 3, a lot of yelling, only the slightest of nods to the Lamaze breathing method and a pristine perfectly swaddled bundle of joy after the birth, so no cutting of umbilical cords or anything messy like that.
I work at a museum and shortly after watching ep. 2 for the first time I found an add in a 1950s magazine that literally said, "for the children" as it's headline. It was almost creepy.
Its one of my favorite series, though to be honest I wasn't really invested until the end of Episode 3. I was very undecided on it, but it was the weird "twilight zone" elements that let me know there was a hidden bigger picture. I was able to appreciate the sitcom aspect when rewatching it. -- I had to convince a few of my friends that didn't watch it after the second episode, by telling them the answers start in Episode 4, and aren't fully explained until the last two.
The commercials are the Easter Eggs: Stark Toaster Oven-the toaster was beeping. Kinda like a Stark missile Wanda and Pietro described in Age of Ultron. Strucker Watch- Baron Strucker was the Hydra guy at the beginning of Age of Ultron. He experimented on the Maximoffs. Hydra Soak Soap-Hydra being the organization Pietro and Wanda volunteered with, and ultimately experimented on by.
There's Avenger/MCU references in each episode. The Hydra blue soap is from the TV series Agents of SHIELD. You just have to go back and look. Some of it is comicbook Marvel stuff.
Awww I’m so glad you are watching these! This is by far my favourite Marvel shows, I constantly go back and watch it from time to time. I won’t spoil anything for you both, but it starts explaining a lot from episode 4 onwards. I really love this series, Wanda has always been my favourite character out of the MCU. I’m so glad I get to watch you both watching this. 🤭
If you see anything that has "Hydra" in the name during the commercials, it's a callback to the evil organization in the MCU which experimented on Wanda and her brother in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Hydra was also featured in the Captain America movies as well as Iron Man.
I went in blind and wasn’t confused at all. I just took it as a story that they were telling and information would be revealed gradually, like any other story. I just enjoyed the sitcom and went with it.
When you finish the series, you must watch the behind the scenes for it. The amount of practical work and ingenuity that went in to creating the different TV eras is wildly impressive!
This was definitely a series where comic book readers had an advantage going in, already knowing some of the general plot. I thought the series was brilliant, thanks for reacting!
I'm actually glad I watched this show how I did. I didn't have Disney+ when it was coming out, so I heard about bits and pieces of the plot through social media. I only started watching it after it was fully out, and by then, I knew going in the broad strokes of what was going on with the sitcom, though most of the details weren't spoiled for me. So I felt like I was able to just sit back and enjoy the sitcom aspect and appreciate the details and shout-outs and foreshadowing without constantly being distracted by wondering WHAT is going on.
wandavision, loki and moon knight are the best tv series from marvel imo, looking forward to your reactions for the remaining episodes! i got so excited when this video popped up on my home page
So this shows in the timeline of MCU happens post Avengers 4 - Endgame. And yes the 1st episode is made to represent the 50s with Dick Van Dyke show. The 2nd episode shows the 60s era with Bewitched. And the 3rd episode is in the 70s.
I thought at first that the toaster bit with it able to cook open face sandwiches, etc. was just a joke, but it you really look close it has a BIG bottom drawer so that it could act as a small broiler! It was like a compact version of a toaster oven. My grandmother had something like it but with only the drawer. It was great for grilled cheese sandwiches! I wish I still had it... I think they even mention something about dual compartments in the advertisement. Did you happen to notice that the light on the toaster was blinking RED in a black and white show???
Every one of those commercial breaks contains some kind of reference to Wanda's life, be it Stark, Hydra (the ones she and Pietro were with at the start of Age of Ultron), or other major points in her life
Speaking of the toaster commercial did you guys miss that blatant statement "forget your past, this is your future!" In hindsight that was such a massive clue
Actually, there’s another reference to the avengers: Hydra was an evil organization that Captain America had to fight against in his first movie, and it came back a few times in later movies.
I was also confused a bit once the normal technology appeared on the screen. I thought it was just going to be a fun old TV show feel. I did enjoy the nostalgia.
I loved watching old sitcoms from the 50s and 60s with my grandparents so this show was a lot of fun. Paul Bettany is so good at playing Rob Petrie/Darrin Stephens!
That is, indeed, a play on the Dick Van Dyke Show (including sets); Ep.2 is a Bewitched riff (the beds coming together symbolizing that Bewitched was the first American sitcom wherein the couple slept in the same bed; Dottie is played by the same actress that played Anya in Buffy: the Vampire Slayer series; Bewitched debuted in 1964, and went to color starting in the Season 3 (thus the change); Ep 3 includes the clasic trope of pregnant actors trying all kinds of silly ways for their characters to do in order to "conceal" the actors' bumps;
After watching the whole season I'm in no doubt that you'll agree Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda is the perfect casting. Not giving anything away, just know You're watching it in the right order 1,2,3 together then 4,5,6 together, then 7,8 and 9 together. The first episode was was based on the Dick Van Dyke show and he actually visited the set and was amazed at the detail. It was filmed in front of a live studio audience who were all dressed in outfits from the 50's as well as all the staff. Even the cameras used were from the 50's!

Wandavision is the connective tissue between where we left off in end game & how she was in Multiverse of Madness.
I hated Multiverse of Madness. What they did to Wanda’s character was a disservice to her, and to the great work done in WandaVision. Much more violence-driven than character-driven. A waste of good actors, too. Really turned me off to the MCU, although I remain a big Loki fan and hope they don’t ruin that, too.
@@Historian212no her character makes sense. She got the book of the damned at the end of wandavision and it took hold of her so she obsessed over finding her kids once she learned how to dreamwalk from the book. The book is what caused her behaviour and its very understandable in multiverse of madness.. that powerful of a character cant only be for good especially with all of her trauma and loss. I loved multiverse of madness for bringing out more of her power and in the end she came to her senses and destroyed all books of the damned.. and obviously dont believe shes dead
@@Historian212 Nah, Multiverse of Madness was great and incredibly underrated. Raimi finally gave us an actually unique take on a Marvel movie. The style, all the nods to Raimi's other works and horror in general, the breakneck pacing, the insane cameos. The culmination of Wanda and Strange's character arcs so far, it was all so good.
Each episode does pay homage to the eras that they are set around.
For instance, the first episode does acknowledge the Dick Van Dyke show from the 1950's so much that they had none other than Dick Van Dyke on set as a consultant during filming.
It was amazing that they picked up on that immediately and he knew exactly the reference of Dick Van Dick tripping over the chair in the opening credits.
Out of the many details I love about this show, I ADORE how much they respect the camera angles and shots that each of these shows had back in the day and how whenever something weird happens they start using modern camera shots (like dramatic zoom ins or a moving takes). It's such a subtle way of indicating there's something else going on but so so effective.
I can’t believe the two more involved Marvel fans let you watch Multiverse of Madness before this! This series adds so much meaning to that movie.
It’s fun to do your reactions to this regardless, of course. ^_^
I agree, Wandavision before Multiverse of Madness and Loki before Quantumania would have made more sense. Now you may end up spending time trying to connect dots between movies and may lose focus on some of the content presented in the shows.
yeah I feel like straight jumping into Multiverse of Madness would be really confusing as to why Wanda is all of a sudden evil.
yeah, seems like a very stupid thing to do, especially having you reference things from madness that basically has you working in reverse and not getting the full effect they should have had in Madness 😋 ... if they even would have 😉
So, if no one has said it yet, this is a series that is best watched after "End Game" and before "Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness." Just keep watching and it all will make some sort of sense. Most things in the Marvel Universe tends to just flow and you really don't want to get too far out of order, or--CONFUSION! Great reaction for the first three episodes!
i just feel like i need to let you know that when you guys do the intro i always say the "badd medicine is back!!" line out loud because i'm just so excited to watch the reaction😂 always appreciate the work you do, guys! been waiting for this wandavision reaction. thank you!
We love it!!!! Thank you for spending some of your time with us.
I agree and do the same thing!! 😂❤
I do the same 😂😅
I do too! And I gotta do the “Let’s Go!” With the Answer too every time!
Haha I thought it was just me 😂
I consider Wandavision and The Mandalorian season 1 and 2 the golden era of Disney plus shows. The debates and theories these shows generated back then omg, it was so fun.
I also find the first episode to be very unsettling and I love it, probably not a popular opinion lol
No you had the right reaction like me. I know Wanda and Vision from the Avengers movies but after the second episode I couldn’t continue not because it was bad but I couldn’t see where it was going. Fast forward to Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness!Once I heard a reference to Wanda and “what happened in Westview.”,I paused the film and started WandaVision again! It’s now my second favorite show after all of Stranger Things! I promise you gentlemen will love this journey!
I'M SO EXCITED! I love that you are reacting to this. This is the best Marvel Disney+ show!
Yes. We were as confused as you guys, like totally lost. We got 3 episodes released, then weekly episodes and the internet exploded with theories and crazy ideas. Be patient, this show is really good. Wandavision and Loki are the best in my opinion.
Dont worry, everyone was confused until the story is slowly revealed. You guys are doing great.
So glad you’re reacting to this! There are post credit scenes in episodes 7,8,9 I believe. So don’t miss those!
This is probably the best of all the Marvel Disney+ shows. It starts out leaving you confused but slowly unfolds over the next few episodes and is just really brilliant.
No spoilers- all I will say is that everything will be revealed, trust me! I feel like you might have already gotten some of the answers since you've seen some shows that came after this (but maybe they didn't make sense to you at the time), so you might pick up on some things before those of us who saw this when it first came out. The structure of this series is absolutely brilliant and one of those things that you will appreciate more as you get to the end and see how it plays out. Can't wait to re-watch along with you!
This and Loki are my absolute favorite Disney plus shows. Don't worry if you don't understand all shall be revealed! But i will enjoy your confusion 😂😂
To let you know, all episodes are an amalgamation of every family sitcom of each decade starting from the 1950's.
This is my favorite thing Marvel has ever made. It’s that good to me. I got Wanda’s crown tattooed on my forearm, it meant that much to me
In general, Marvel anything can be confusing if you have not watched everything in order leading up to it because they just take for granted that you've seen all of it and they don't take the time to explain anything. It's actually one of the things I love about them because of reading so many series that usually start a "previously on" type explaining. That being said, I think everyone was as confused as you were after the first 3 episodes and I think they were made that way on purpose. It will all be explained later.
Just for FYI -
E1: Dick Van Dyke Show (50's)
E2: Bewitched (60's)
E3: The Brady Bunch (70's)
The best Disney plus series today. Love how each week it kepts us guessing on who was in charge of Westview and who was going to pop out next. Excited for you guys to enjoy it
Oh man, this series is great. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany are fantastic, and the last third of episodes get real heavy and meaty.
I don't know if you caught it but the 2nd episode was meant to be 60's style since she's wearing the pants. And I think it was very reminiscent of Bewtiched. Also the other commercials (episode 2 and 3) talk about Hydra, so that's the Marvel reference you're looking for
This is a show that by episode three I was ready to give it up. I told myself by the end of episode three is I wasn't hooked, I would not watch anymore. But the end of episode three intrigued me to watched the fourth episode and boy I am glad I did. This ended up being one of my favorite shows. Can't wait to see your guys reaction!
I had EXACTLY the same journey. After the first 2 episodes I was ready to bail. Halfway through episode 3 I was all but resigned to giving up on the show. Then at about the midpoint it got interesting and by the end I was intrigued enough to watch episode 4 and never looked back.
Love that you guys are starting the shows! This and Loki are top tier of the shows.
My favorite of the MCU shows tbh. So damn good. Each ep moves up by a decade. And everything from visuals to music to performances nailed it perfectly. Ep 1, 50s, has that I Love Lucy/Dick Van Dyke Show vibe. They had Van Dyke as a consultant on making a show in that era. Ep 2, 60s, harder to spot but it spoofs on Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. Both of those shows feature magical wives that have to keep their powers hidden and started in black and white but transitioned into color in later seasons. They had a live studio audience for those first two eps, rather than a laugh track. Then Ep 3, 70s, leaps into Brady Bunch, as you noticed. Ep 4 pops OFF. Very excited for you guys!
There won't be any end credits scenes until the last 3 eps, so you don't have to worry about it til then.
Oh my God! That's the best MCU series I've seen. Great represantation of mental health in the most creative way. You won't be disappointed!
this is by far the best Marvel series ! glad to see new people watching it
This is what I was hoping the Marvel shows would be. Taking chances, pushing the boundaries, seeing what they can get away with. Use the movies as the big mainstream money makers, use the shows to "safely" experiment with the Marvel formula.
Then this is the only one that does anything close to that.
"Then this is the only one that does anything close to that."
That's not true. Werewolf By Night, Loki, Moon Knight etc.... would like to have a word with you.
@@JohnGraves1985 Werewolf By Night came out after I was pretty much done with Marvel, and I didn't know it was even a marvel thing until weeks after it came out, so I never saw it.
Loki is VERY Marvel... just cause it doesn't have a big fight at the end doesn't mean it isn't.
Moon Knight is also pretty Marvel, just has an interesting hook that sets it apart.
they went from 50s to 60s to 70s in the first 3 episodes
Bros....the theories that sprung during this shows run were out of this world and amazing. What a time it was. It was the watercooler work talk every week.
You nailed "The Dick Van Dyke Show..." Also, the last song was because Marcia Brady was obsessed with Davy Jones on The Brady Bunch and she was thrown right out of that Brady-like house and that era.
I’m like Oak, I love the MCU movies but haven’t watched all the series and stuff, but I did watch this series. Yes, we were all as confused as you were in the beginning of the series. By now you may have watched the whole thing and know what’s coming, if not you soon will and all will make sense. This came before Multiverse of Madness and you will actually understand the movie much better once you have finished this. Great reaction guys!!
So stoked y'all are reacting to this. This really kicked off the post endgame vibes. I think by the end of the series you're going to love it.
Oh Man! When this show came out the discourse on the internet was huge, the fan theories, finding secrets, the overall mystery of why what's happening is happening.
One of the best Marvel TV Shows, absolutely fantastic. So glad you guys are covering this
And yes! Multiple references to different TV series.
When this was premiering, i was living with a friend during our college COVID year. And every Friday night, the new epsidoe would drop and we would stop all school work and watch the episode together. When I tell you we would pause the episode and get like 2 invhes from the screen to analyze any potential clues or easter eggs. It was a good stress relief. We would look up all articles wrotten about the week's episode and put in our own theories that never ended up panning out funnily enough.
Not gonna lie, one of my fav parts of this channel is exposing Oak to nerd culture, with sci fi, fantasy, animation and so on. He seems like a guy that life taught to be tough, but still has that inner child that's digging all this, maybe it was becoming a dad that did it. So when there's a nerdy/kid show like this and he's not in it's a bummer, so series like these are awesome! It'll be interesting to navigate this without The Answer to help with confusions lol. (I will say, if you both think about it, it's funny what this channel did to you both when you consider that you've given things like Avatar, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and etc time and attention before a marvel series about fighting powers and weapons )
Ahhh I love your guys' confusion. Imagine being this confused when it debuted. You're one of us now lol
🤜🤛
Just a warning: there are some episodes that have post-credit scenes and others don't! So make sure to check every time!
Loki are the great show but this, Wandavision is still my favorite mcu show until this day. Hope you two enjoy mcu shows cant wait to see more~
WandaVision is hands-down my favorite of the Marvel Shows. Can't wait to see you try to figure out the mystery as it unfolds!
This show is just phenomenal even on rewatches. Best thing to come out of Marvel in awhile
We were confused as much as you guys are when we first saw the first 3 episodes even we were hard-core fans. This is my favorite marvel Disney + show
This is easily the best project Marvel has *ever* created, you are going to enjoy it more and more as it goes on trying to figure it out
The sitcom episodes tickled me, since I grew up watching TV starting in the 60s. It was fun figuring out what shows were represented in each episode! And the fact that it was on weekly, prr-streaming-binge style, added to the ambiance. 🙂
This show was such a trip when you had to wait a week for each episode. So many questions, so few answers, and what answers you got just raised more questions. It was a brilliant piece of storytelling and absolutely captivating. Speculation ran wild and crazy fan theories popped up everywhere as we all tried to make sense of what was happening. Those of us who knew comics were still confused as it could have been any number of potential storylines.
Would say most of us were utterly baffled, at least as far as what was actually happening. Those of us who had been watching the MCU since the very beginning were of course drawing all kinds of connections between happenings in the show and things we had seen in previous movies, but by this point it was all just guesswork. The show by this point had been a slow burn, and we knew Wanda and Vision, but it was just a great mystery; everyone I knew at the time was delighted by how confused we were.
44:20 Its hard to catch, but if you look closely at the Stark toaster in the 1st episode, the light on it starts blinking in red. The sound of the tone that it makes when it beeps has importance in a later episode.
I am forever confused if this is my favourite MCU Disney Plus show or if Loki is. WandaVision was really great. It actually seemed like a TV show.
Try having to wait week to week talking about confusing!! Lol!! I was glad i choose to watch them all again once they were all out!! Love you guys!!
Quinn after the first episode: alright, maybe well get an answer here.
Me: laughing hysterically.🤣🤣🤣
OMG I'm so excited for this!!!!! I'm stuck at work till 5 but I'm going to get some good dinner and save it for after work. I hope you guys realize how much you do for us all... even on my worst days when I feel depressed, I'm over stimulated, or just not feeling it, you're uploads just turn it all around. You're 4 of the greatest influences of the past couple years of my life. I'm just glad you guys are around. Thanks -Trey from Ashland Virginia USA.
literally such a good show
wanda is my absolute favorite character
one thing i read about....for any scene where they "stayed" in the moment, they used special effect fo that era...so in the scene in the first episode with wanda in the kitchen...it was all wireworks and practical effects
OH MY GOSH how did I miss this??? This is the best marvel production I think I have in recent memory. It’s so special to my heart
This is by far my favourite show. But I was really confused the first time i saw that too, and i know a few things about marvel, so don´t be so concerned about yourself xD
and for the timeline: it´s right after endgame, i think about 2 weeks later
(And i would love some older marvel reactions from you guys :))
WandaVision is still my favorite post-Endgame Marvel project so far. It was robbed at the Emmy's.
My absolute favorite MCU project. There’s so much depth.
Watched this series so many times and it never gets old ❤ keep watching it gets good. Also even with knowing the whole back story, it’s still super confusing the very first time watching WandaVision but it all comes together
9:49
In case nobody has brought it up yet, keep in mind Wandavision takes place before Multiverse of Madness. Idk what you remember from that movie but some things from this show are kinda spoiled in it.
44:28 each of the commercials had references to the MCU: Stark toaster, Strucker watch (the villain at the start of Age of Ultron who experimented on Wanda & Pietro with the Mind Stone), and Hydra Soak soap (Hydra being the villains of the first two Captain America movies).
ive been hoping for you guys to watch this show... its so good
8:37 Arnie: “If you don’t scrub the kitchen flooooor, you ain’t gonna rack and roooll no mooore!” 😂
I grew up watching TV in the seventies and eighties and I remember it was very common for productions to hide unscripted pregnancies behind ridiculous objects like bowls of fruit, shopping bags, and elevated kitchen counters, which is how the Brady Bunch hid Florence Henderson's real life pregnancy. When Phylicia Rashad was pregnant, The Cosby Show hollowed out the bed on set so that her pregnant belly would not be visible. Even scripted pregnancies and deliveries were handled in much the same way we see in episode 3, a lot of yelling, only the slightest of nods to the Lamaze breathing method and a pristine perfectly swaddled bundle of joy after the birth, so no cutting of umbilical cords or anything messy like that.
I work at a museum and shortly after watching ep. 2 for the first time I found an add in a 1950s magazine that literally said, "for the children" as it's headline. It was almost creepy.
Its one of my favorite series, though to be honest I wasn't really invested until the end of Episode 3. I was very undecided on it, but it was the weird "twilight zone" elements that let me know there was a hidden bigger picture. I was able to appreciate the sitcom aspect when rewatching it. -- I had to convince a few of my friends that didn't watch it after the second episode, by telling them the answers start in Episode 4, and aren't fully explained until the last two.
This is one of my favourites Marvel's shows
The commercials are the Easter Eggs:
Stark Toaster Oven-the toaster was beeping. Kinda like a Stark missile Wanda and Pietro described in Age of Ultron.
Strucker Watch- Baron Strucker was the Hydra guy at the beginning of Age of Ultron. He experimented on the Maximoffs.
Hydra Soak Soap-Hydra being the organization Pietro and Wanda volunteered with, and ultimately experimented on by.
There's Avenger/MCU references in each episode. The Hydra blue soap is from the TV series Agents of SHIELD. You just have to go back and look. Some of it is comicbook Marvel stuff.
Awww I’m so glad you are watching these! This is by far my favourite Marvel shows, I constantly go back and watch it from time to time. I won’t spoil anything for you both, but it starts explaining a lot from episode 4 onwards. I really love this series, Wanda has always been my favourite character out of the MCU. I’m so glad I get to watch you both watching this. 🤭
If you see anything that has "Hydra" in the name during the commercials, it's a callback to the evil organization in the MCU which experimented on Wanda and her brother in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Hydra was also featured in the Captain America movies as well as Iron Man.
I went in blind and wasn’t confused at all. I just took it as a story that they were telling and information would be revealed gradually, like any other story. I just enjoyed the sitcom and went with it.
When you finish the series, you must watch the behind the scenes for it. The amount of practical work and ingenuity that went in to creating the different TV eras is wildly impressive!
this is the best MCU series imo!! I was soooo confused at first but it gets sooo good!!
This was definitely a series where comic book readers had an advantage going in, already knowing some of the general plot. I thought the series was brilliant, thanks for reacting!
I'm actually glad I watched this show how I did. I didn't have Disney+ when it was coming out, so I heard about bits and pieces of the plot through social media. I only started watching it after it was fully out, and by then, I knew going in the broad strokes of what was going on with the sitcom, though most of the details weren't spoiled for me. So I felt like I was able to just sit back and enjoy the sitcom aspect and appreciate the details and shout-outs and foreshadowing without constantly being distracted by wondering WHAT is going on.
wandavision, loki and moon knight are the best tv series from marvel imo, looking forward to your reactions for the remaining episodes! i got so excited when this video popped up on my home page
Those are my 3 favorite too :)
So this shows in the timeline of MCU happens post Avengers 4 - Endgame. And yes the 1st episode is made to represent the 50s with Dick Van Dyke show. The 2nd episode shows the 60s era with Bewitched. And the 3rd episode is in the 70s.
I thought at first that the toaster bit with it able to cook open face sandwiches, etc. was just a joke, but it you really look close it has a BIG bottom drawer so that it could act as a small broiler! It was like a compact version of a toaster oven. My grandmother had something like it but with only the drawer. It was great for grilled cheese sandwiches! I wish I still had it...
I think they even mention something about dual compartments in the advertisement. Did you happen to notice that the light on the toaster was blinking RED in a black and white show???
One of the best things Marvel has ever done. AMAZING SERIES ! great reaction
This show was so unique, the sitcom theme is so awesome, the ending is awesome too!
Every one of those commercial breaks contains some kind of reference to Wanda's life, be it Stark, Hydra (the ones she and Pietro were with at the start of Age of Ultron), or other major points in her life
I'm so excited that you guys are doing this show. It's definitely one of my favorites and such a creative form of Storytelling.
Speaking of the toaster commercial did you guys miss that blatant statement "forget your past, this is your future!" In hindsight that was such a massive clue
Actually, there’s another reference to the avengers: Hydra was an evil organization that Captain America had to fight against in his first movie, and it came back a few times in later movies.
I was also confused a bit once the normal technology appeared on the screen. I thought it was just going to be a fun old TV show feel. I did enjoy the nostalgia.
I loved watching old sitcoms from the 50s and 60s with my grandparents so this show was a lot of fun. Paul Bettany is so good at playing Rob Petrie/Darrin Stephens!
That is, indeed, a play on the Dick Van Dyke Show (including sets); Ep.2 is a Bewitched riff (the beds coming together symbolizing that Bewitched was the first American sitcom wherein the couple slept in the same bed; Dottie is played by the same actress that played Anya in Buffy: the Vampire Slayer series; Bewitched debuted in 1964, and went to color starting in the Season 3 (thus the change); Ep 3 includes the clasic trope of pregnant actors trying all kinds of silly ways for their characters to do in order to "conceal" the actors' bumps;
7:11 Top & Bottom, those Toasters had a drawer on the bottom to slide stuff like pie inside.
After watching the whole season I'm in no doubt that you'll agree Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda is the perfect casting.
Not giving anything away, just know You're watching it in the right order 1,2,3 together then 4,5,6 together, then 7,8 and 9 together.
The first episode was was based on the Dick Van Dyke show and he actually visited the set and was amazed at the detail. It was filmed in front of a live studio audience who were all dressed in outfits from the 50's as well as all the staff. Even the cameras used were from the 50's!
