I'm going with it's an alternate reality she's created but she is being manipulated by someone else and is not fully in control of it.
That’s what I’ve been thinking for a few episodes. At first I thought it was her subconscious driven by grief, creating her idea of the ideal life she never had with Vision. I still think that’s part of it, but someone using her grief. For a while I’ve been thinking of how Mastermind manipulated Jean Grey, which lead to her becoming the Dark Phoenix. (She was also grieving in the belief the X-men were dead.). I don’t think they will go that far, but I wouldn’t put it past them. Wanda being the Big Bad of the MCU for a while.

She does have a history of flipping sides for sure in the comics but yeah, I'm not sure TV audiences are ready for that tbh.
Saying that she's keeping thousands of people including kids captive so unless she's being seriously manipulated, she's already pretty bad.
Yeh she didn't wish her dead boyfriend into the body of another man, sleep with said man and take him on dangerous missions almost getting him killed. Saying that she's keeping thousands of people including kids captive so unless she's being seriously manipulated, she's already pretty bad.
j/kI think grief is a powerful motivator that people can understand, and SWORD are the ones escalating the situation.
Quicksilver/Pietro theory food. There are new funko pop dolls for WandaVision. The name on the box for Evan Peters' character is "Pietro Maximoff", including the speech marks... as if they're air quotes and it isn't Quicksilver/Pietro. https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/wandavision-funko-pop...
Just got caught up last night so can finally read this thread!
My MCU exposure is limited to the Disney+ films purely, other than some of the early ones like Iron Man I generally avoided the series over the years but we recently binged the lot and really, really enjoyed it. The X-Men stuff I've not watched yet, and it's quickly becoming clear that we have more catching up to do before Disney drives things forward.
Wandavision has been great, can't believe the hate for the first few episodes - the payoff has been amazing.

I've not watched a single X-Men / Fantasic Four movie and I have no plans to prior to whatever the big event is that brings them into the MCU proper.My MCU exposure is limited to the Disney+ films purely, other than some of the early ones like Iron Man I generally avoided the series over the years but we recently binged the lot and really, really enjoyed it.

Given the massive disparity in box office take (therefore viewers) between the MCU and those franchises, I trust Kevin Fiege to introduce them without anyone needing to have gone back and watched their back catalogues too, they are too smart to make a mistake like that. Knowing nods, sure, but deep knowledge? No chance.

F4
You've got the flamey one, the stretchy one, the invisible one and the economy hulk.
Or is that the Incredibles?
X-Men is Captain Picard in a Wheelchair, Geordi LaForge, Metal Guy, Weather girl, blue bloke and blue girl, Aunty Jean and Wolverine and sometimes Deadpool.
Easy,
Got to admit it’s sort of funny how the MCU has changed Marvel comics. People forget that the X-Men and the F4 were the top-lines hero’s for Marvel along with Spidey which is why they sold them off. The original MCU Avengers team of 6 were somewhat considered a cobbled together B-Team. But look at how much Marvel comics buried the F4/X-Men comics until very recently to see how that situation changed with the movie success.You've got the flamey one, the stretchy one, the invisible one and the economy hulk.

So it seems tomorrow’s episode will be another 38 min job, but the last two will be an hour each.
This pleases me greatly as every episode you feel like it’s just got going then BAM stoopid end credits.
I’m expecting a BAM ending for the final episode. They’ll tie-up the story threads, but leave a big WTF moment for the future of the MCU. This pleases me greatly as every episode you feel like it’s just got going then BAM stoopid end credits.
I expect to be proved wrong, but I think it will end with the hex bubble expanding across the entire planet.

Final episode of WandaVision has life inside the hex catching up to the present day, and the sitcom pretence is over. But in an act of anger/grief/madness she expands it and we see a wave of hex energy flashing around the globe.
Doctor Strange movie starts and the world seems normal. Then we start to see things are not right.
Strange is tracking Wanda down to confront her. She might be the villain, or it might be the usual confrontation when they meet just because that’s what always happens in the comics.
A big plot point will be the consequence of the hex-wave. Almost certainly breaking down of barriers between different realities. A multiverse of madness .

Interesting idea, could be confusing given the release schedules have fallen apart (we still have 4 films before Dr Strange!) but obviously they were not to know that when writing Wandavision.
Good point. With Dr S not being next anymore people might be watching and wondering why they haven’t followed up on that. I’m not sure when each film is set chronology. I know Black Widow is in the past. If the others are weeks after ‘the snap’ it could be ignored, with a reference to it in a post credit scene.
Hmmm. I’m not sure I can make it work. People are so used to the interconnectedness of the MCU they might not be willing to accept films that ignore a big cliffhanger.
