The_Omega Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Announcing that the first couple of episodes were going to be slow ahead of time was a good call. Marvel’s earned themselves some leeway, and knowing what to expect ahead of time, I was cool giving them the chance to slow walk it into a bigger story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 This might have been received differently if it were the second series after Falcon and the Winter Soldier, to itch the scratch for MCU content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devpool Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Idk I enjoyed the first two episodes. Something different, and very weird. Olsen is great IMO, she and bettany have good chemistry as well it's fun to watch. Second episode was definitely better than the first and clearly shows her reality breaking through. So I think like you all have said, in the third episode things are going to start ramping up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The start of Wandavision is very different and I like how it's started that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Guinness Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I knew what to expect going in, but it was still weird to watch. I get it. They are in an alternate reality, whether created by Wanda or by another entity (individual or group), and it will unravel into a full blown MCU story that is in line with the films. This was sort of like the first 2 episodes of the last season of The Mandalorian where it was just filler or a tone setter until the real story kicked in and took off. The first episode was barely 25 minutes and just basically introduced the setting. The 2nd started to show you there's something else going on, so like a teaser or build-up episode. Glad they released them together as watching the 1st then waiting for the 2nd would have been a bit annoying. Fine, they're out of the way now and we can look forward to the mystery unfolding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the feel I get and makes a lot of sense. That said I wouldn't be surprised if its by some entity trying to trap her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwide Schrude Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 It’s nice having new Marvel content, but Not a fan of it so far. I get it, I have an understanding of what the show is but not sure where it’s headed. I appreciate Marvel doing something different at least. But so far it’s just not my thing..I always have really hard time getting into sitcoms so I think that plays a part in it. I lost interest halfway thru the 2nd episode honestly. I’ll watch a couple more episodes because I’m curious about what’s going on outside of this alternate reality that’s supposedly in Wandas head.

I mean I know what you mean but I kind of found it intriguing all the same. Like it's a different start but we know it's going to change and twist.

NOTW Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Fans: Hollywood is out of ideas, comic book movies are all the same and should die out soon. Marvel: does something new and creative.

A handful of the movies were bad, some were average. The sitcom sendup might not be everyone's cup of tea, and that's understandable. Just poking fun at people who complain there's nothing original, then don't like what's created that is original and fresh. The production quality was great, it nailed the style and when you go into it knowing that it's a fantasy world Wanda is trapped in and that something sinister is happening in reality, it's easier to accept IMO. The episodes had easter eggs including the commercials. And ep 2 ended with them transporting to the 60s in color and Wanda is all of a sudden pregnant. Reports are that episode 3 makes it take off, we'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope I eat that opinion and it pays off, but seeing that we only have to two to judge off of so far it’s a thumbs down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEagle7 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Sounds like it's shaping up to be a good show to hold off on watching then binge when the whole season is out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devpool Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The second episode clearly shows that it's going to start taking off. I understand people not liking the first episode, the complaining about the second episode is less valid unless people ignored the last half of the episode.
