Hayward (Josh Stamberg) goes out meekly, though he does go for a purported child-killing act. Jimmy Woo (a wasted Randall Park) is just there. Darcy (Kat Dennings) only has a single scene cameo, after which she disappears to God-Knows-Where. Just like a witch.Īs for the supporting characters, each brings their own arcs to a disappointing, thoroughly underwhelming conclusions. My fave scene of the episode is Wanda facing the Westview residents after the chaos is done, and thus recalling the fact that she once again can't escape the fact that she will always be someone to be feared. But it plays out the same way as you expect their storyline to end. And not in the right manner.Īt least, the main plotline of Wanda and the Vision of her own making (let's ignore the underlying incest here) gets a lovely befitting finale, with some beautiful lines shared by the characters. But for someone whose knowledge of Marvel lore has been solely dependable on Marvel movies - an ignoramus like me - there is a lot about the finale that left me wanting for more. Pretty sure those who have read Marvel comics can make their own conclusions here. Agatha Winking Viral Image From WandaVision Is Internet’s Latest Funny Meme Template!īut if you expect the series to answer what the heck was Agatha doing all this while, or how come she landed right there in WandaVision's first episode - you would be sorely disappointed. Especially for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, where Wanda is touted to come up next. It is great to see Wanda getting more and more into her Scarlet Witch persona, creating some interesting implications about the future of the character in the MCU. Wanda and Agatha's fight is far more interesting, with a nice callback to an early interaction of theirs from the last episode. Especially Vision taking on White Vision, that ends with a discussion on Ship of Theseus (Ah, Vision, never change!) but then gives it an open conclusion. There are some interesting moments in the fight, but it wraps up pretty much on expected lines, and rather in an underwhelming manner. So what we see here is two superheroes fighting their bad equivalents, which is of course, an old MCU trope. And perhaps, I can only blame my own expectations for wanting to see a mountain instead of a contained mole-hill in the confines of the 'Hex'. Sadly, for me, I had the same feels about the WandaVision finale the same way as I watched with a sunken feeling, the finale of Game of Thrones. And of course, the finale also has to answer certain pertinent questions that the plot threads from the previous episodes have built on. What's more, Wanda has to confront her own dark legacy, as well as the moral complications of keeping the residents of Westview as her mental prisoners. Wanda, Vision and the twins not only face Agatha's powerful, Dark magic and the murderous determination of White Vision, but also Hayward's SWORD team that manages to barge in. The big confrontation was set for the finale, as the first half of the episode is one big fight sequence. We had seen the tears and pain behind those sitcom laughs, and it reiterated how Wanda is the most tragic hero among all the Avengers, seeing loss after loss in her personal life. It deconstructed what came by into the creation of the world Wanda created for her ' Happy Days' with Vision and the twins they created to be a family. My most favourite episode of WandaVision has been the penultimate one. I see what you did there, Marvel! Wandavision Finale: Disney+ Crashes, Leaving Twitterati Fuming! And also something we could have predicted right before the series began, if we were not distracted by the theories. Take those apart, and we might have had a very befitting conclusion to Marvel Cinematic Universe's first Disney+ series, that gives the doomed love story of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) a closure that it deserves. Some, the show and its actors themselves encouraged. Some, certain over-enthusiastic geeks made on their own. WandaVision Episode 9 Review: Blame it on the fan theories.
