The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest installment, Wandavision, hit Disney+ on Jan. 15 in a two episode premiere that confused and excited audiences for what’s to come.
Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprised their roles as Wanda “Scarlet Witch” Maximoff and Vision, respectively. Maximoff and Vision, some time between or after Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame have found themselves in semi-normal lives, emulating TV shows of the 1950s and beyond.
Wandavision does a good job of balancing MCU plotlines and the tone of the TV shows it emulates, with the first two episodes offering a lighthearted jaunt into the lore of the universe. Within the premiere episodes, the show managed to allow room for Maximoff and Vision’s relationship to develop while also setting up major conflicts for both the series and the MCU at large.
Overall, I’m excited to see where the rest of the season leads MCU fans. But I will say, Wandavision would not be suited for someone just getting into Marvel and its universe.
