All of the "commercials" in WandaVision represent the traumas in her life in chronological order. You have the Stark toaster that beeps like the bomb, various Strucker & Hydra producst (the names of the person & group that did tests on her), you even have the kid who dies before your eyes just like hers, and finally the anti-depressant Nexus which is a nod to the fact that Wanda is a nexus being. This is someone that exists in pretty much all realities. There is always a version of her out there.........
Well there’s always a version of every single person out there. It’s called the multiverse. The difference with Wanda is that she can become/engulf any other ‘variant’ of her
I read complaints about how it doesn't really make sense. I think it does but really its supposed to make to Wanda, to help her with her grief, and thats why it's so powerful.
I loved watching Monica get her powers. Fun fact, she was the first female Captain Marvel in comics. Love her. Monica was in the Captain Marvel movie. She was the little girl, Maria Rambeau's daughter.
I literally look up reaction videos to specifically watch people witness Monica get her powers. It felt like such a cultural reset for the fans that absolutely adore Adult Monica's debut into the MCU & especially her early origins as (Photon/Spectrum) 😭🙌✨❤️
Her getting her powers was so rad. Don’t like them making Monica an absolute psycho by saying she would’ve done “the exact same thing if it was her mom” to Wanda. Like what? You can empathize with Wanda while understanding what she did was beyond unacceptable and those people deserve justice.
@@ooiiooiiooii It is actually logical. It’s called humanity. We all make mistakes and we all do selfish things. If we all had the same powers that Wanda has even you would have done worse.
@@ooiiooiiooii I’ve already said a part of me will die when my mom passes. And if I had Wanda’s powers, I don’t even want to think about what I would do for my mom. So I get where they are both coming from. When it’s your person, like your person that truly gets you and there’s true unconditional love there, losing that would make you want to tear the world down. Taking over a small town with a tv show is on the smaller scale of what Wanda could have done.
They also pulled all the old cameras and equipment out of storage and used the same practical effects techniques. They even talked to Dick Van Dyke (who is still living) for advice. They went all out on this, it really was a love-letter to the sitcom genre.
Since Fox owned the X-Men before they were bought by Disney, the ‘Scarlet Witch’ name could not be used within the MCU for legal reasons. This was a huge deal when Agatha announced the name. ‘WandaVision’ is definitely one of the best things to happen for the MCU.
Yeah in the comics, she said "no more mutants" and wiped out 98% of the power of mutants in all realities, not just her reality. only like 127 mutants were left
In the first episode, the thing that Mr. Hart choked on wasn't a sausage, it was a whole chocolate covered strawberry (that they showed in the kitchen earlier). He didn't eat it, she put it there out of panic to get him to stop asking questions.
Just for some additional context if you didn't already find out; Monica was a famous pilot, and the daughter of the friend of Capt. Marvel in her movie. Agent Wu is from Ant Man and Darcy is from Thor.
yea, I wonder if Mel watch the whole MCU or he just pick ones he'd like to watch edit: I guess I found out from his latest video. He didnt really watch all of the MCU movies huh
Did you also notice that he actually learned the card trick he was trying to do in Ant Man? when he first med Monica he flipped his business card like you would do a card in a magic trick.
I love that you did this in a binge watch format. Instead of pumping out an episode a week you just did a big stretch of it showing the main points and I really loved that aspect. It was like getting to re-watch it all over again at once. Also glad you saw this before seeing Multi-verse of Madness because it's a must before seeing that movie. Keep up the great work my dude!
The one thing I hate people using in arguments about wanda was her knowingly enslaving people of westview, they forget that yes she knew they were under her control but she also thought she was keeping them happy like she was in the hex with her family, but unknowingly until the last episode she finds out that she was making them feel her grief and agony of losing everyone she loved. Thats the reason why she tried to take down the hex and telling everyone to run in the first place.
The funny at the beginning makes up for the pain later. The whole seperate beds was because it was too risque to show a couple, even married couple, in bed together. Fun fact, the first instance of a double bed for a couple on TV was the Flintstones The book Wanda took from Agnes that she's reading in the post credit scene was the Darkhold, which played a part in Agents of Shield. It drove people mad. And yes, she's traumatised beyond belief. She was in so much pain from Vision's death, added to all the pain she'd already been through, she retreated into the time when she was happy, watching old tv shows with her parents. Her powers just made it bigger, taking over a whole town. Monica was in Captain Marvel, her mother was Captain Marvel's friend/lover (depending on who you ask).
WandaVision and Moon Knight (don't worry I'm not gonna spoil the latter) are the two best-written and unique series in the MCU. Of course, I love all of the series I've seen (haven't finished Hawkeye yet), but WandaVision and Moon Knight really stand out to me. Fun fact: the house in Episode 1 is meant to resemble the Petries' house from The Dick Van Dyke Show
Fun fact: the Halloween Costumes that Billy and Tommy wear are references to their comic book superhero outfits (well, mostly just Billy. Tommy was just wearing a kid version of Quicksilver’s costume, but still). In the comics, Tommy and Billy were real kids, going by the hero names of Wiccan and Speed. Wiccan was especially important as he is still one of Marvels most iconic LGBTQ characters, having a relationship with the superhero Hulkling (who is the son of a Skrull Princess and a male Captain Marvel)
Vision couldn't really phase away from Thanos, aside from him having the gauntlet, Vision was injured prior by one of his henchman. And that guy's spear was able to hurt him while he was intangible.
Also, if Vision did phase away that time, reality stone could just solidify him back. Infinity stones are universal in power, they really can't be underestimated.
Vision & Wanda bonding while watching Malcom was after Age Of Ultron. Besides Vision did die before Tony so he didn't know cause he was gone. I think Wanda forgot about Clint cause she just wanted to be alone during her grieving
When you consider that in Infinity War, Vision turned his tracker off, he didn’t, he went to Tony to get that property for himself and Wanda and Tony knew what Vision wanted was a family, so Tony turned off Vision’s tracker.
In episode 4 Wanda throws Monica through an interior wall, an exterior wall, a fence, and out the Hex. So she was breaking the 4th wall Billy and Tommy aging up is a nod to tv shows aging children characters as storylines run out.
The separate beds were due to censors of the time and did not indicate intimacy in any way. The Flintstones was technically the first TV series that showed a couple sharing a bed.
this is nice but just hope you'd have a moment to appreciate vision's line "What is grief, if not love persevering?" and the moment that wanda has to say goodbye to vision again.
My favorite Scarlet Witch moment from the comics was back when her power was her mutation to affect probability fields. She used her hex to damage Ultron’s inner workings, defeating him.
I think the separate beds thing was because people believed it would look like couples on TV were actively having sex, and that separate beds removed that possibility altogether. It's either that, or they thought it was a fun twist to have married couples sleep separately.
The idea that only married couples should have sex, and ONLY for procreation. Fun fact: starting in the 1930's, couples couldn't kiss on screen for more than 4 seconds, and sex was implied with a fade to black. It had to do with morality laws of the time.
@@c.b.barlow not exactly. The problem was sex without a spouse. Nowadays it’s more acceptable to have sex without a spouse, but I think it’s pretty immoral when people just sleep around with people that they aren’t in an active relationship with.
episode 1 was homage to Dick Van Dyke Show (the living room has the same setup, instead of tripping over the stool Vision phases thru it ruclips.net/video/BttXQJ_gDnc/видео.html) episode 2 was homage to Bewitched (similar intro - ruclips.net/video/NA-8uk_uDP4/видео.html), episode 3 was homage to Brady Bunch and Mary Tyler Moore (intro used Mary Tyler Moore and Brady Bunch ruclips.net/video/ZNKOt2k7Pm4/видео.html, inside house looks similar to Brady Bunch), episode 5 was homage to Family Ties and Growing Pains (ruclips.net/video/ip1szfz9nZ8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/DyjmHzYfmWE/видео.html) , episode 6 was homage to Malcom In The Middle (ruclips.net/video/c4CVKbVtTsc/видео.html) episode 7 was homage to Happy Endings and Modern Family and The Office (ruclips.net/video/LAo1iTsEs-Q/видео.html)
It’s crazy to see his reaction at 33:45, glad he wasn’t spoiled on that ! No matter what it ended up being I still remember having the best reaction to it
Having recently seen The Multiverse of Madness and then watching your WandaVision reaction it gave me a whole new appreciation for this show. I now rank WandaVision as my favorite Marvel show, followed by Moon Knight, Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
49:44 My guess is that by practicing dark magic that she wasn't ready to learn yet anyhow she was risking exposing her coven as she was messing around with dangerous stuff and could've had them caught and executed and so had to have her powers stripped from her for the crime of putting herself above the safety of witches.
That post credit scene is Wanda reading the dark hold, the ‘book of the damned’ that is said to corrupt everyone it touches, as Agatha sort of explained it has a lot to do with Scarlet Witch and the kids screaming ‘help me’ shows us that she wants to use it to get her kids back
One of my favorite easter eggs is agent Wu's card magic trick. In Ant Man and Wasp; Scott Lang (ant man) learned close up magic and did the card trick. Wu asked him how he did it , but a magician never reveals his secrets so he didn't say. Later on in the movie, you see Wu at his desk with a video on the computer with that card trick, and now in the series; he is introduced by doing the trick. Also, Wanda getting her full powers, and the last episode of loki matches up perfectly!
The reason Vision didn't use that "go-through stuff" trick (phasing) with Thanos is because he was injured in the attack in Edinburgh by Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive with that blade that made him not be able to phase through things.
1:01:05 in a word, because in the movies he was stabbed multiple times and became malfunction. The first encounter with the Black Order (Thanos children) Vision was stabbed with a scepter/spear that stopped him from phasing (he said it himself), and later on he was heavily injured and had no chance to recovery due to consecutive assaults
Monica can absorb & literally become any form of energy on the electromagnetic spectrum. She can travel at the speed of light, (which I feel like at episode 9 was a nod to how fast she is when she saw the bullet flying past her) she can alter her appearance to look like anyone using light, create multiple forms of herself, fly, etc.. she's just extremely powerful in the comics. Also I loved your reaction throughout! Thank you for uploading this!!!
Hi ☺️♥️ you were super cool throughout the whole video, I laughed throughout the whole video with you, now yes, I took the time to go looking for all this information to keep you up to date and not be lost for people who didn't see the other movies and such, although you probably already figured out most of the things you were wondering about in the video from the comments, I'll put the facts anyway: (By the way, I got most of the data from the Internet). "In the world of the 60's Wanda appears with a wedding dress and we can see elements that make reference to series like I Love Lucy (from where they take the wedding dress that appeared in the chapter "The Marriage License"). Another of the series of the 50s is I Married Joan, which points to Wanda being the chaotic figure in the relationship, while Vision is a kind of anchor to help her keep calm. We've already seen this in the teasers, after marriage comes children (or pregnancy) and family life, which takes the series back to the 1960s with series like Leave it to Beaver and Bewitched, with Wanda starting to adapt to her role as a housewife and her and vision transforming into a traditional family. At one point Wanda can even be heard receiving a call and saying "Vision Residence", which is a reference to the series in which one of the main characters responded by saying "Cleaver Residence". Leave it to Beaver idealizes the life of suburban families, so it points to Wanda looking to create a perfect life in her new reality. The 1970s references are series like The Brady Bunch, which points to the fact that Wanda and Vision might be looking to create their own unconventional family. On the other hand, this decade is also a sign of Wanda's fragmented mind, as she is also inspired by That 70's Show (with red hair that looks like Donna Pinciotti's character). This series was created in the 90's and was set in the 70's, which hints that Wanda might be starting to suspect that all of this might not be real. The 80's series most clearly shown in the images are Married with Children and Full House. In the 1990s, Wanda seems to take inspiration from the series Roseanne with her wardrobe and home decor, then we move on to the 2000s with series like Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Also the 2000's decade is inspired by "The Modern Family" and "The Office" ("The Office" as the intro and Wanda's camera interaction as "The Modern Family"). -Monica Rambeau is the daughter of Maria Rambeau. -Darcy Lewis is a character who appeared in the Thor movies as Thor's love interest Jane's friend. Jimmy Woo appeared in Ant-Man the Ant-Man and makes a reference to Scott with the card magic because in that same movie he couldn't do it and asked Scott to teach him. - Darcy was probably aware of everything so that's probably why he knew about Monica, Vision and so on, Thor may have told him about them (who knows). - Vision was very weak in "Endgame" so that's probably why he didn't become intangible. - Regarding the Post-credits scene, Wanda was astral mind projected, which allows her to do two things at once without having to be there herself (Like in Doctor Strange). Now yes, Wanda's powers can be looked up on the internet, it's very interesting, and better this way, since you learn and know more about her abilities. Here is a chronology of Wanda's movies (for those who didn't see or don't know much about her and Vision) AOU= Age of Ultron: First appearance of Wanda and Pietro, and also a small scene of Wanda and Vision, it's short but important because here everything starts. CW= Civil War: Interaction between Wanda and Vision, both are in different sides, Vision in Tony's side and Wanda in Steve's side. IW= Infinity War: Here is already more inside the relationship of Wanda and Vision, it is seen that after the events of CW they formed a relationship away from all the chaos and where most already know what happens with Vision. EG: Endgame: Here Wanda takes revenge on Vision against Thanos. What Wanda didn't realize is that she was talking to the old version of Thanos and not the newer one, that's why Thanos didn't know her. WV: Wandavision: after the events of the end of the blip in IW and her return in EG...here begins the whole story that everyone already knows. MOM: or DSITMOM= Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness: after the events of WV (I won't give more details) so I won't spoil it for you guys 😉💕. Sorry for the long comment, I really enjoyed your video anyway, Greetings from Argentina 💙😁
Lets just appreciate Mellverse for doing this reaction for us, for putting a hard work on the editing videos,In Fact Mellverse is a UNDERRATED RUclipsr.
This is such well written series, fantastic actors and very touching theme on grief. One of my favourite mcu tv shows. Great reaction! Hope you enjoyed Dr Strange multiverse of madness. I sure did!
At 54:35, I believe this conversation happens right after AoU and Wanda moving into the Avengers compound. Vision was only newly created so I don’t think hi k his comments are directed toward Tony. When Tony sacrificed himself, Vision was already out of commission.
I love that you truly enjoyed the show, despite not knowing all the mcu eastereggs, the whole point of these movies are for entertainment. I loved the show and I love your reaction, can't wait for more!
my favorite thing ive ever seen about wandas character is that she actually proves the stereotype that a woman who lets her emotions get to her makes her weaker and less powerful, but with wanda, her emotions amplify her power and she is driven by family, shes lost everything and all she wants is to be with her family. but mcu wanda hasnt gotten it yet, iirc comics wanda hasnt really either but its still sad i just want wanda to be happy
You can’t help but feel bad for her. She lost Vision twice and came back to Visions body being dissected. I would love to live a peaceful life like that, but only if I had powers.
Most TV shows during that time had separate beds because they promoted as family shows and same beds weren't considered wholesome. Censorship was more strict, even though same beds weren't technically forbidden it wasn't considered good taste.
they also couldn't say pregnant but used terms like expecting or bun in the oven. I Love Lucy was the first to show an expectant mother on a major television network.
I liked how you pointed out that shot of them in episode 3 as being a possible poster, because it’s inspired by a specific comic cover where they’re in those poses.
I watched this when it came out... Huge Wanda fan!! Her story...her love for Vision....a Mother's Love. This sitcom was Amazing!! I was STUCK EVERY WEEK GLUED TO THE TV! GREAT MARVEL SERIES!! THE FIRST! Sorry all caps! Your reaction is getting me hyped all over again! I'm gonna watch this Again!! ❤️❤️❤️💯
It might be an odd choice, but in my opinion, the second episode, Don't Touch That Dial, is the best episode. It really encapsulates the sitcom feel, the comedy flows better than the first episode, it keeps up the mystery, utilizes color contrasting the black and white world well, and Wanda rocks the 60's look in my opinion. This episode really feels like a masterpiece to me, but so does the show in general.
I even remember which commercial (for the '70s episode) it was. It was mid-70s and it was on ALL the time. It was for Calgon bubble bath, and it ran mostly like shown, except that at the end of all the mishaps, the woman pleads, "Calgon, take me away!"
I really liked the binge video. I got to give you props. At first, I thought the video was going to be edited to death for time reasons, but you pulled it off and was pretty entertaining. Thanks for the extra effort you put into your videos. You are going to love Scarlet Witch in Dr. Strange 2!
15:50 "That's a nice pose; they could make a poster out of that." Close. It is a recreation of the cover of the first issue of the comic book "Vision and the Scarlet Witch," from the 1980s. I bought that issue back in the day.
Yes, it was a live audience -they wanted the authenticity. Separate beds were because the 50s it was still shocking to show a couple sharing a bed -marriage didn't change that. (The first movie to show a toilet was Psycho.) The pose you said could be a poster, was their iconic poster shot for the front of a comic lol.
For me the best episodes is episodes 3-8 I was watching WandaVision as it was going on week by week and the theory craze was insane each week from Mephisto to fake Pietro the hype each week was crazy imo it’s the best Disney+ show glad you enjoyed it man.💯💯
In answer to your question about Quicksilver being a jokester, from what I’ve read with him in it he’s not really like that. In general he can be extremely hostile (even and sometimes especially towards other heroes) and rashly rushes into fights more often than not. On top of that he’s a bit snippy with people. But I wouldn’t call him a full-on jokester.
1:01:01 Vision couldn't dematerialize or become intangible in the movie because he was damaged in the fight against Midnight and Corvus... people always forget the beginning of Infinity War
The reason why Wanda’s accent comes is goes is because she was trained by Steve and nat to fight and nat taught her how to hide her accent hence why she sounds different all the time switching accents and that’s also why she’s good at hand to hand combat.
For the second end credit scene. It's the book that's messing with her. The internet has nicknamed the Darkhold The Evil book of Evil. It's a fitting name. There is basically no way to read the darkhold without becoming a villan yourself.
You asked for a fave Scarlet Witch comic, I really like one called "The Children's Crusade." It's about her sons (Billy and Tommy, who are also in this show) trying to find her after she has been missing for years. I also love anything with Monica Rambeau, not that you asked about her! So psyched she is going to be in "The Marvels".
I thought the way they did this show as homage to TV through the decades was brilliant. Never seen a show do that before. And they peppered in enough little hints that something was off. Kept you intrigued for the next episode. I loved the logic argument between Vision and Vision 2.0 as a way of resolving their conflict. Curious to see where his story goes. I've loved Paul Bettany as an actor ever since I first saw him in KNIGHT'S TALE with Heath Ledger. He was funny, bold, and at times very sincere in that role. I recognized that he's brilliant as an actor. I think he's hugely underrated. And he seems a decent person too. That line in this show about grief not being all sorrow because it's just love persevering, gets me every time I think about it. Makes me think of some of the people I've lost. I feel nothing but love from my memories of them. That's one of the things I love about fiction; those moments when you find an absolute truth. If there was one Marvel book I'd recommend reading, it would probably be THE ULTIMATES by Mark Millar (he also wrote KICK-ASS). It's basically a reimagining of the Marvel universe in a 2000s era. They borrowed heavily from it to build the MCU. They made Cap a bit of a badass, Tony was a narcissist, and they got Sam Jackson's permission to use his likeness for their reimagined Nick Fury. The Avengers actually have a conversation in the book about who would play them in a live action movie, and Nick was like, "Sam Jackson would play me, of course." The first two major storylines we're the best. The "season 2" books were not as good. And I see they didn't go with the rampaging "Hulk horny!" storyline from that book for the movies. Shame. Lol. Thanks for doing this series in a binge watch fashion. Please do Netflix's LOVE, DEATH, AND ROBOTS. And if you like shows that really know how to play with aspect ratio, check out SAMURAI JACK. It's a show that the animation style looks abstract and odd at times, but it hides a superb storytelling style underneath all of that. With some of the best animated action scenes I've ever watched. Keep up the good work!
Yo I just looked up the part when Wanda goes into that base and finds out they wants to use Visions body as a weapon that is a real page in the comics layout!!!
Fun fact: In wandavision she made every episode one generation later, the intros in wandavision is based off of different sitcoms ex. I love Lucy, bewitched, full house etc. the reason behind that is because she grew up watching sitcoms and that's basically her little escape from the real world
I really enjoyed Wandavision! It was really fun from the beginning and love that the show is canon in the MCU! So excited to see you binge watch Loki & Moonknight! I personally love bingewatching shows lol
@6:00, I’m almost sure in ep. 1 that Mr. Heart is choking on the chocolate strawberry that Wanda and Vision supposed to share. I think the implication is that Wanda subconsciously put it there to shut him up because he was asking too many questions.
Separate beds is an old sitcom trope because back in the day you couldn’t show a couple in the same bed on television, and if they were on the same bed, one of them had to have at least one foot on the floor.
idk if anyone has mentioned it but Evan Peter's plays Quicksilver in the X-Men universe, so he is also a little easter egg of the hint of a multiverse....
not sure if anyone said this already but when thanos was trying to get the stone out of visions head, the reason he didn’t just phase through it was because when he got stabbed by the blade he said “the blade, it’s stopped me from phasing” so he couldn’t do it then
I loved this entire show it was amazing choosing a favorite episode is hard but it's a tie between the first 3 episodes as they were straight sitcoms with a little mystery sprinkled in.
Elizabeth Olsen is amazing in this show and in Doctor strange 2. That movie is a vibe and scary 🫠🫠🫠
Loved How Scary They Had Scarlet Witch In Doctor Strange
I was clenched the entire movie
Mary and Ashley: Hey sis what're you doing now a days?
Liz: what you did in the 90's but better
Did you ever watch Marvels Legion on FX, I liked WV but LEGION is it’s own league 🐿
Elizabeth Olsen was the best thing about Doctor Strange 2
All of the "commercials" in WandaVision represent the traumas in her life in chronological order. You have the Stark toaster that beeps like the bomb, various Strucker & Hydra producst (the names of the person & group that did tests on her), you even have the kid who dies before your eyes just like hers, and finally the anti-depressant Nexus which is a nod to the fact that Wanda is a nexus being. This is someone that exists in pretty much all realities. There is always a version of her out there.........

I'm surprised you didn't include "what is grief, if not love persevering" in your edit. Such a beautiful line

Hi Mel!
Yes, WandaVision was filmed in front of a live audience. The producers wanted that 50s and 60s feel in the first two episodes.
They also pulled all the old cameras and equipment out of storage and used the same practical effects techniques. They even talked to Dick Van Dyke (who is still living) for advice. They went all out on this, it really was a love-letter to the sitcom genre.
Since Fox owned the X-Men before they were bought by Disney, the ‘Scarlet Witch’ name could not be used within the MCU for legal reasons. This was a huge deal when Agatha announced the name.
‘WandaVision’ is definitely one of the best things to happen for the MCU.
Yeah in the comics, she said "no more mutants" and wiped out 98% of the power of mutants in all realities, not just her reality. only like 127 mutants were left
Tony Stark was still alive during that scene in the bedroom where Vision says he’s never lost anyone. Plus, Tony died AFTER Vision did.
In the first episode, the thing that Mr. Hart choked on wasn't a sausage, it was a whole chocolate covered strawberry (that they showed in the kitchen earlier). He didn't eat it, she put it there out of panic to get him to stop asking questions.
This is legit one of my favorite shows. I love how they progress through the eras.
Just for some additional context if you didn't already find out; Monica was a famous pilot, and the daughter of the friend of Capt. Marvel in her movie. Agent Wu is from Ant Man and Darcy is from Thor.
yea, I wonder if Mel watch the whole MCU or he just pick ones he'd like to watch
edit: I guess I found out from his latest video. He didnt really watch all of the MCU movies huh
Did you also notice that he actually learned the card trick he was trying to do in Ant Man? when he first med Monica he flipped his business card like you would do a card in a magic trick.
I love that you did this in a binge watch format. Instead of pumping out an episode a week you just did a big stretch of it showing the main points and I really loved that aspect. It was like getting to re-watch it all over again at once. Also glad you saw this before seeing Multi-verse of Madness because it's a must before seeing that movie. Keep up the great work my dude!
The one thing I hate people using in arguments about wanda was her knowingly enslaving people of westview, they forget that yes she knew they were under her control but she also thought she was keeping them happy like she was in the hex with her family, but unknowingly until the last episode she finds out that she was making them feel her grief and agony of losing everyone she loved. Thats the reason why she tried to take down the hex and telling everyone to run in the first place.
The funny at the beginning makes up for the pain later.
The whole seperate beds was because it was too risque to show a couple, even married couple, in bed together. Fun fact, the first instance of a double bed for a couple on TV was the Flintstones

Monica was in Captain Marvel, her mother was Captain Marvel's friend/lover (depending on who you ask).
WandaVision and Moon Knight (don't worry I'm not gonna spoil the latter) are the two best-written and unique series in the MCU. Of course, I love all of the series I've seen (haven't finished Hawkeye yet), but WandaVision and Moon Knight really stand out to me.
Fun fact: the house in Episode 1 is meant to resemble the Petries' house from The Dick Van Dyke Show
For me too, this two are more unique that the others, and with the more profound MCU characters
I really think that Loki is better-written than WandaVision and Moon Knight but yeah
@@cubicklecub Loki really isn’t, but to each their own.

So wanda's powers were amplified by the mind stone, and Vision was powered by the Mind Stone, so to reboot vision they needed some of that power.
your reaction to Evan Peters showing up was basically all our reaction lol
Vision & Wanda bonding while watching Malcom was after Age Of Ultron. Besides Vision did die before Tony so he didn't know cause he was gone. I think Wanda forgot about Clint cause she just wanted to be alone during her grieving
When you consider that in Infinity War, Vision turned his tracker off, he didn’t, he went to Tony to get that property for himself and Wanda and Tony knew what Vision wanted was a family, so Tony turned off Vision’s tracker.
Monica has the power to absorb all forms of energy. Kinetic, gamma, anything really. she is stupidly powerful
In episode 4 Wanda throws Monica through an interior wall, an exterior wall, a fence, and out the Hex. So she was breaking the 4th wall
Billy and Tommy aging up is a nod to tv shows aging children characters as storylines run out.
The separate beds were due to censors of the time and did not indicate intimacy in any way. The Flintstones was technically the first TV series that showed a couple sharing a bed.
& I think it’s because they were meant to be seen as primitive
this is nice but just hope you'd have a moment to appreciate vision's line "What is grief, if not love persevering?"
and the moment that wanda has to say goodbye to vision again.
My favorite Scarlet Witch moment from the comics was back when her power was her mutation to affect probability fields. She used her hex to damage Ultron’s inner workings, defeating him.
I think the separate beds thing was because people believed it would look like couples on TV were actively having sex, and that separate beds removed that possibility altogether. It's either that, or they thought it was a fun twist to have married couples sleep separately.
The idea that only married couples should have sex, and ONLY for procreation.
Fun fact: starting in the 1930's, couples couldn't kiss on screen for more than 4 seconds, and sex was implied with a fade to black. It had to do with morality laws of the time.
@@c.b.barlow not exactly. The problem was sex without a spouse. Nowadays it’s more acceptable to have sex without a spouse, but I think it’s pretty immoral when people just sleep around with people that they aren’t in an active relationship with.
@@NoCluYT and I think it's none of your business. Does it hurt you? Does it affect you? Let people be.
WandaWision is an homage to a lot of old sitcoms, but the biggest inspiration for the earlier episodes was definitely Bewitched.
episode 1 was homage to Dick Van Dyke Show (the living room has the same setup, instead of tripping over the stool Vision phases thru it ruclips.net/video/BttXQJ_gDnc/видео.html)
episode 2 was homage to Bewitched (similar intro - ruclips.net/video/NA-8uk_uDP4/видео.html),
episode 3 was homage to Brady Bunch and Mary Tyler Moore (intro used Mary Tyler Moore and Brady Bunch ruclips.net/video/ZNKOt2k7Pm4/видео.html, inside house looks similar to Brady Bunch),
episode 5 was homage to Family Ties and Growing Pains (ruclips.net/video/ip1szfz9nZ8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/DyjmHzYfmWE/видео.html) ,
episode 6 was homage to Malcom In The Middle (ruclips.net/video/c4CVKbVtTsc/видео.html)
episode 7 was homage to Happy Endings and Modern Family and The Office (ruclips.net/video/LAo1iTsEs-Q/видео.html)
It’s crazy to see his reaction at 33:45, glad he wasn’t spoiled on that ! No matter what it ended up being I still remember having the best reaction to it
Having recently seen The Multiverse of Madness and then watching your WandaVision reaction it gave me a whole new appreciation for this show. I now rank WandaVision as my favorite Marvel show, followed by Moon Knight, Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
You think Wanda is scary in episode 5 - just wait until you see her in Dr Strange. She is f*cking AMAZING. You will LOVE it.
49:44 My guess is that by practicing dark magic that she wasn't ready to learn yet anyhow she was risking exposing her coven as she was messing around with dangerous stuff and could've had them caught and executed and so had to have her powers stripped from her for the crime of putting herself above the safety of witches.
That post credit scene is Wanda reading the dark hold, the ‘book of the damned’ that is said to corrupt everyone it touches, as Agatha sort of explained it has a lot to do with Scarlet Witch and the kids screaming ‘help me’ shows us that she wants to use it to get her kids back
Wanda is one of the best written Marvel characters. The religious horror movie you're thinking of is Legion
the fact that the “kids voices” were crying out to her for help is a clear sign that the Darkhold was corrupting her
One of my favorite easter eggs is agent Wu's card magic trick. In Ant Man and Wasp; Scott Lang (ant man) learned close up magic and did the card trick. Wu asked him how he did it , but a magician never reveals his secrets so he didn't say. Later on in the movie, you see Wu at his desk with a video on the computer with that card trick, and now in the series; he is introduced by doing the trick.
Also, Wanda getting her full powers, and the last episode of loki matches up perfectly!
The reason Vision didn't use that "go-through stuff" trick (phasing) with Thanos is because he was injured in the attack in Edinburgh by Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive with that blade that made him not be able to phase through things.
1:01:05 in a word, because in the movies he was stabbed multiple times and became malfunction. The first encounter with the Black Order (Thanos children) Vision was stabbed with a scepter/spear that stopped him from phasing (he said it himself), and later on he was heavily injured and had no chance to recovery due to consecutive assaults
Monica can absorb & literally become any form of energy on the electromagnetic spectrum. She can travel at the speed of light, (which I feel like at episode 9 was a nod to how fast she is when she saw the bullet flying past her) she can alter her appearance to look like anyone using light, create multiple forms of herself, fly, etc.. she's just extremely powerful in the comics. Also I loved your reaction throughout! Thank you for uploading this!!!
"I can't feel you." is a line that will forever break my heart.
Hi ☺️♥️ you were super cool throughout the whole video, I laughed throughout the whole video with you, now yes, I took the time to go looking for all this information to keep you up to date and not be lost for people who didn't see the other movies and such, although you probably already figured out most of the things you were wondering about in the video from the comments, I'll put the facts anyway:
(By the way, I got most of the data from the Internet).
"In the world of the 60's Wanda appears with a wedding dress and we can see elements that make reference to series like I Love Lucy (from where they take the wedding dress that appeared in the chapter "The Marriage License"). Another of the series of the 50s is I Married Joan, which points to Wanda being the chaotic figure in the relationship, while Vision is a kind of anchor to help her keep calm.
We've already seen this in the teasers, after marriage comes children (or pregnancy) and family life, which takes the series back to the 1960s with series like Leave it to Beaver and Bewitched, with Wanda starting to adapt to her role as a housewife and her and vision transforming into a traditional family. At one point Wanda can even be heard receiving a call and saying "Vision Residence", which is a reference to the series in which one of the main characters responded by saying "Cleaver Residence".
Leave it to Beaver idealizes the life of suburban families, so it points to Wanda looking to create a perfect life in her new reality.
The 1970s references are series like The Brady Bunch, which points to the fact that Wanda and Vision might be looking to create their own unconventional family. On the other hand, this decade is also a sign of Wanda's fragmented mind, as she is also inspired by That 70's Show (with red hair that looks like Donna Pinciotti's character). This series was created in the 90's and was set in the 70's, which hints that Wanda might be starting to suspect that all of this might not be real.
The 80's series most clearly shown in the images are Married with Children and Full House.
In the 1990s, Wanda seems to take inspiration from the series Roseanne with her wardrobe and home decor, then we move on to the 2000s with series like Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Also the 2000's decade is inspired by "The Modern Family" and "The Office" ("The Office" as the intro and Wanda's camera interaction as "The Modern Family").
-Monica Rambeau is the daughter of Maria Rambeau.
-Darcy Lewis is a character who appeared in the Thor movies as Thor's love interest Jane's friend.
Jimmy Woo appeared in Ant-Man the Ant-Man and makes a reference to Scott with the card magic because in that same movie he couldn't do it and asked Scott to teach him.
- Darcy was probably aware of everything so that's probably why he knew about Monica, Vision and so on, Thor may have told him about them (who knows).
- Vision was very weak in "Endgame" so that's probably why he didn't become intangible.
- Regarding the Post-credits scene, Wanda was astral mind projected, which allows her to do two things at once without having to be there herself (Like in Doctor Strange).
Now yes, Wanda's powers can be looked up on the internet, it's very interesting, and better this way, since you learn and know more about her abilities.
Here is a chronology of Wanda's movies (for those who didn't see or don't know much about her and Vision)
AOU= Age of Ultron: First appearance of Wanda and Pietro, and also a small scene of Wanda and Vision, it's short but important because here everything starts.
CW= Civil War: Interaction between Wanda and Vision, both are in different sides, Vision in Tony's side and Wanda in Steve's side.
IW= Infinity War: Here is already more inside the relationship of Wanda and Vision, it is seen that after the events of CW they formed a relationship away from all the chaos and where most already know what happens with Vision.
EG: Endgame: Here Wanda takes revenge on Vision against Thanos. What Wanda didn't realize is that she was talking to the old version of Thanos and not the newer one, that's why Thanos didn't know her.
WV: Wandavision: after the events of the end of the blip in IW and her return in EG...here begins the whole story that everyone already knows.
MOM: or DSITMOM= Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness: after the events of WV (I won't give more details) so I won't spoil it for you guys 😉💕.
Sorry for the long comment, I really enjoyed your video anyway, Greetings from Argentina 💙😁
To answer your question, my favorite Scarlet Witch moment in the comics was the House of M storyline.
Lets just appreciate Mellverse for doing this reaction for us, for putting a hard work on the editing videos,In Fact Mellverse is a UNDERRATED RUclipsr.
Bruh.. he’s hilarious
This is such well written series, fantastic actors and very touching theme on grief. One of my favourite mcu tv shows.
Great reaction! Hope you enjoyed Dr Strange multiverse of madness. I sure did!
At 54:35, I believe this conversation happens right after AoU and Wanda moving into the Avengers compound.
Vision was only newly created so I don’t think hi k his comments are directed toward Tony.
When Tony sacrificed himself, Vision was already out of commission.
Once you finish the series, watch the Pitch Meeting for WandaVision by Ryan George. He will make you cry laughing lol
Didn't realize you watched it all. So go watch the Pitch Meeting Mell!
With all your hype watching this, I would've loved to see how hyped you'd get watching Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
I love that you truly enjoyed the show, despite not knowing all the mcu eastereggs, the whole point of these movies are for entertainment. I loved the show and I love your reaction, can't wait for more!
this show was something else. It's definitely one of my favourite Marvel shows.
I love how you actually knew all of these sitcoms. Most people didnt catch them all
my favorite thing ive ever seen about wandas character is that she actually proves the stereotype that a woman who lets her emotions get to her makes her weaker and less powerful, but with wanda, her emotions amplify her power and she is driven by family, shes lost everything and all she wants is to be with her family. but mcu wanda hasnt gotten it yet, iirc comics wanda hasnt really either but its still sad i just want wanda to be happy
I love your reaction to this series, so much joy made me remember my hype for it.
You can’t help but feel bad for her. She lost Vision twice and came back to Visions body being dissected. I would love to live a peaceful life like that, but only if I had powers.
His laugh and agathas laugh sent me🤣🤣🤣
Most TV shows during that time had separate beds because they promoted as family shows and same beds weren't considered wholesome. Censorship was more strict, even though same beds weren't technically forbidden it wasn't considered good taste.
they also couldn't say pregnant but used terms like expecting or bun in the oven. I Love Lucy was the first to show an expectant mother on a major television network.
Although this was posted a year ago, when I first watched wander vision I was mind boggled by the twist in the end shocked me and everything
I liked how you pointed out that shot of them in episode 3 as being a possible poster, because it’s inspired by a specific comic cover where they’re in those poses.
A great Paul Bettany performance is A Night's Tale. The WHOLE cast is amazing and it's a great story.
I watched this when it came out... Huge Wanda fan!! Her story...her love for Vision....a Mother's Love. This sitcom was Amazing!! I was STUCK EVERY WEEK GLUED TO THE TV! GREAT MARVEL SERIES!! THE FIRST! Sorry all caps! Your reaction is getting me hyped all over again! I'm gonna watch this Again!! ❤️❤️❤️💯
It might be an odd choice, but in my opinion, the second episode, Don't Touch That Dial, is the best episode.
It really encapsulates the sitcom feel, the comedy flows better than the first episode, it keeps up the mystery, utilizes color contrasting the black and white world well, and Wanda rocks the 60's look in my opinion. This episode really feels like a masterpiece to me, but so does the show in general.
I even remember which commercial (for the '70s episode) it was. It was mid-70s and it was on ALL the time. It was for Calgon bubble bath, and it ran mostly like shown, except that at the end of all the mishaps, the woman pleads, "Calgon, take me away!"
I never thought about Vision's monologue as shading Tony and now I can't stop laughing. He does NOT love him 3000.
I really liked the binge video. I got to give you props. At first, I thought the video was going to be edited to death for time reasons, but you pulled it off and was pretty entertaining. Thanks for the extra effort you put into your videos. You are going to love Scarlet Witch in Dr. Strange 2!
"BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL." Love the effort and love that you're reacting to this wonderful, clever, smart, creative series.
"Professor X is gonna help you out" 👀
I just love how hyped Mel got. Truly something amazing to watch
15:50
"That's a nice pose; they could make a poster out of that."
Close.
It is a recreation of the cover of the first issue of the comic book "Vision and the Scarlet Witch," from the 1980s.
I bought that issue back in the day.
indeed the first episode had a live audience
One of the major plot points is the episodes are all of Wanda going through the stages of grief
Yes, it was a live audience -they wanted the authenticity. Separate beds were because the 50s it was still shocking to show a couple sharing a bed -marriage didn't change that. (The first movie to show a toilet was Psycho.)
The pose you said could be a poster, was their iconic poster shot for the front of a comic lol.
For me the best episodes is episodes 3-8 I was watching WandaVision as it was going on week by week and the theory craze was insane each week from Mephisto to fake Pietro the hype each week was crazy imo it’s the best Disney+ show glad you enjoyed it man.💯💯
In answer to your question about Quicksilver being a jokester, from what I’ve read with him in it he’s not really like that. In general he can be extremely hostile (even and sometimes especially towards other heroes) and rashly rushes into fights more often than not. On top of that he’s a bit snippy with people. But I wouldn’t call him a full-on jokester.
1:01:01 Vision couldn't dematerialize or become intangible in the movie because he was damaged in the fight against Midnight and Corvus... people always forget the beginning of Infinity War
The reason why Wanda’s accent comes is goes is because she was trained by Steve and nat to fight and nat taught her how to hide her accent hence why she sounds different all the time switching accents and that’s also why she’s good at hand to hand combat.
Omg yess!!
Will be watching your reaction later today ! Love this show so much!!
Thanks for reminding me why I love Wanda (cries in multiverse of madness)
I’m sooooo glad you watched this all at once! Love your reactions!
Love the binge watching in 1 video! Great change from the norm!!!
For the second end credit scene. It's the book that's messing with her. The internet has nicknamed the Darkhold The Evil book of Evil.
It's a fitting name. There is basically no way to read the darkhold without becoming a villan yourself.
Yessss !! Wandavision!!! My absolute favvv 😭😭 I’m so ready to watch your reaction absolutely love them !
Monica Rambou is the daughter of Capt Marvel’s bestie from her military days. She is also capt marvel in certain comics
okay i love how you reacted to all the episodes in one video!!
Episode 5 is my personal favorite just for Vision confronting Wanda on her bs.
I enjoy watching ppl watch this series for the first time! It's my absolute fav! I watched Dr. Strange Thursday and it's total madness...i love it
So Agent Wu was the guy looking after Scott in the 2nd Ant-Man movie and he learned the magic trick when he saw Scott do it and got fascinated by it
You asked for a fave Scarlet Witch comic, I really like one called "The Children's Crusade." It's about her sons (Billy and Tommy, who are also in this show) trying to find her after she has been missing for years. I also love anything with Monica Rambeau, not that you asked about her! So psyched she is going to be in "The Marvels".
I'm glad you enjoyed the show!! Elizabeth Olsen really embodies the role of the Scarlet Witch❤️💯💯 Multiverse of Madness was epic
I thought the way they did this show as homage to TV through the decades was brilliant. Never seen a show do that before. And they peppered in enough little hints that something was off. Kept you intrigued for the next episode. I loved the logic argument between Vision and Vision 2.0 as a way of resolving their conflict. Curious to see where his story goes. I've loved Paul Bettany as an actor ever since I first saw him in KNIGHT'S TALE with Heath Ledger. He was funny, bold, and at times very sincere in that role. I recognized that he's brilliant as an actor. I think he's hugely underrated. And he seems a decent person too. That line in this show about grief not being all sorrow because it's just love persevering, gets me every time I think about it. Makes me think of some of the people I've lost. I feel nothing but love from my memories of them. That's one of the things I love about fiction; those moments when you find an absolute truth. If there was one Marvel book I'd recommend reading, it would probably be THE ULTIMATES by Mark Millar (he also wrote KICK-ASS). It's basically a reimagining of the Marvel universe in a 2000s era. They borrowed heavily from it to build the MCU. They made Cap a bit of a badass, Tony was a narcissist, and they got Sam Jackson's permission to use his likeness for their reimagined Nick Fury. The Avengers actually have a conversation in the book about who would play them in a live action movie, and Nick was like, "Sam Jackson would play me, of course." The first two major storylines we're the best. The "season 2" books were not as good. And I see they didn't go with the rampaging "Hulk horny!" storyline from that book for the movies. Shame. Lol. Thanks for doing this series in a binge watch fashion. Please do Netflix's LOVE, DEATH, AND ROBOTS. And if you like shows that really know how to play with aspect ratio, check out SAMURAI JACK. It's a show that the animation style looks abstract and odd at times, but it hides a superb storytelling style underneath all of that. With some of the best animated action scenes I've ever watched. Keep up the good work!
Yo I just looked up the part when Wanda goes into that base and finds out they wants to use Visions body as a weapon that is a real page in the comics layout!!!
Fun fact: In wandavision she made every episode one generation later, the intros in wandavision is based off of different sitcoms
ex. I love Lucy, bewitched, full house etc.
the reason behind that is because she grew up watching sitcoms and that's basically her little escape from the real world
Idk if someone already answered, but Vision was hurt in the Infinity War so he was unable to phase through stuff.
I really enjoyed Wandavision! It was really fun from the beginning and love that the show is canon in the MCU! So excited to see you binge watch Loki & Moonknight! I personally love bingewatching shows lol
Wanda is a reality bender. She's that powerful. Moon Knight is also so good to watch
@6:00, I’m almost sure in ep. 1 that Mr. Heart is choking on the chocolate strawberry that Wanda and Vision supposed to share. I think the implication is that Wanda subconsciously put it there to shut him up because he was asking too many questions.
LMAO that Professor Xavier comment did NOT age well 🤣🤣 Snapped his neck before I even realized what happened....
Separate beds is an old sitcom trope because back in the day you couldn’t show a couple in the same bed on television, and if they were on the same bed, one of them had to have at least one foot on the floor.
idk if anyone has mentioned it but Evan Peter's plays Quicksilver in the X-Men universe, so he is also a little easter egg of the hint of a multiverse....
not sure if anyone said this already but when thanos was trying to get the stone out of visions head, the reason he didn’t just phase through it was because when he got stabbed by the blade he said “the blade, it’s stopped me from phasing” so he couldn’t do it then
I loved this entire show it was amazing choosing a favorite episode is hard but it's a tie between the first 3 episodes as they were straight sitcoms with a little mystery sprinkled in.
Wanda is so strong. I love her so much. Amazing power.
