WandaVision

 Following Avengers: Endgame, Marvel has started series around their characters.



And as we found out revently with Doctor Strange, you kinda need to see them to be able to take in everything in the movies.

Oh well, so Noshi and me sat down for the first of their series, WandaVision.  Now, I still hae to actually watch the two "phase 3 finale movies" but I did know Vision didn`t make it (because, Thanos has the gauntlet, and one of the stones was actually inside the cyborg).

But the series, which starts in black and white in a 50s style sitcom, actually have Vision around alive and well.  It looks at first like a normal series, but slowly the colour red starts showing up, and strange radio messages are trying to get in.



The episodes progress to sitcoms of later era's, and we learn wanda has actually created a hex around the village, cutting it off from the outside world and trying to live a life of peace in there with her family.  But small events start to make it unravel, and on the outside, SWORD is trying to get in themselves to free the people, and some other mysterious reasons.

Wanda's neighbour Agetha though reveals herself to be a witch herself, and out to get the power of Wanda.  This causes Wanda to have to relive the things that brought her to the point of taking over the village, ending when she snaps at seeing the body of Vision being disassembled and stripped.  A second, white Vision appears as well, a weapon build by SWORD's director Hayworth in secret using the gained tech from the original one, but as Vision vs Vision and Wanda vs Agatha unfolds, reality in the village unbinds.



In the end, Wanda is forced to give it all up and free the village, but in doing that losing Vision and her children as well... and becoming the Scarlet Witch in the process.

A dramatic climax for sure for what wasn't to bad a series at all.  Now to catch up with the movies I missed, and with the other series, and we are back on track I guess.
