WandaVision now has a new opening, bright, Brady Bunch-like title and groovy theme song again by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. It is typical days in suburbia for the superhero couple, they have ice cream, see neighbors, and we see prepare for their children. Dr. Nielsen (Randy Oglesby) confirms after checking Wanda that she is pregnant. Oglesby dealt with magic and mystery in the Strange Angel series. Vision is confused that she is four months pregnant overnight. He walks the doctor out and greets Herb trimming the bushes next door, then Herb starts cutting into the brick wall! Vision points out Herb’s chainsaw action. He is stunned that Wanda looks further along her pregnancy! Later, Wanda hexes the baby’s room and then feels the baby kick. She doesn’t use her powers, but the butterfly mobile transforms to real butterflies! Vision consults his book and finds out the baby kick would occur at six months. He estimates that the baby will be born in three days!
In the kitchen, Vision uses super speed to put a diaper on a baby doll, then he has Wanda practice her breathing. The painful contraction returns and the kitchen goes out of control with Wanda’s powers. Her reaction to the stopping of the out-of-control magic is funny. Dottie checks on her husband Phi when the lights go out. Vision has found that it is the entire neighborhood. He suspects that “something’s wrong”, then there is a flicker as the scene changes with Wanda on a couch. Vision reassures her, then Wanda is about to have the baby, the panicked Vision starts to hover off the ground. Wanda tries controlling her breathing which also settles down Vision. Then, suddenly it starts raining from the ceiling, Wanda’s water just broke! A clever, magical birth, we see that Wanda’s pregnancy is acclerated, but no sign of help from anyone else. I was wondering if Agnes would be interested in Wanda’s pregnancy. Another commercial has a mother with a crazy home going on vacation. This is for Hydra Soak, luxury bath powder, another Hydra reference. It’s possible that this is the work of Baron Zemo who was in Captain America: Civil War (2016) played by Daniel Bruhul, he survived that movie and ran Hydra in the comics.
Vision and Wanda take shelter from the rain underneath a table. Wanda summons up winds to clean house. Vision uses super speed to see if he catch up to Dr. Nielsen. Wanda hears something in the nursery, but then there’s a knock at the door so she hexes her coat. It’s Geraldine who has come over for a bucket because of the water in her house. Wanda goes to the kitchen, but her contractions transforms her coat. Geraldine goes to find the bucket, then talks about her temp job. Wanda sees behind her a stork! She tries to hex it away, but the baby is going to arrive! Wanda finally throws an orange at it from her fruit bowl. She blames the noise on her new ice maker. The stork isn’t gone and starts to pull at Geraldine’s pants while she is sitting on the couch. Her excitement over her job story scares away the stork. Geraldine goes into the nursery where the stork has shifted into a wall painting. Wanda drops a vase and knows the baby is arriving! Dr. Nielsen has found his car isn't working when Vision runs up and then takes Dr. Nielsen on his back! Geraldine is trying to help Wanda, she lies on the floor as paintings spin, her hex powers are unleashed! Geraldine helped deliver the baby when Vision runs up with Dr. Nielsen.
Vision has his normal face and holds the baby, Vision calls him Tommy, when Wanda starts screaming again, another baby! Dr. Nielsen says to Vision that small towns are hard to escape. Agnes is talking with Herb. Geraldine likes the new twins. Wanda says she is a twin and notes Pietro. She starts singing in a Sokovian lullaby. Geraldine says Pietro was killed by Ultron! Wanda is suspicious that she knows about Pietro and tells her to leave when she sees the S.W.O.R.D. necklace. Both Agnes and Herb says there is a reason why Geraldine came to Westview. Agnes and Herb leave. In the night sky above Westview, there is a tv distortion and Geraldine is thrown to the ground! The wind is knocked out of her and cars and a helicopter pull up to Geraldine as we hear the Monkee’s “Daydream Believer.” It’s a S.W.O.R.D. facility? More questions. We have the birth of twins, this occured in Vision and Scarlet Witch #12 (1986), reality is strange in the comics, but Tommy and Billy eventually become superheroes in their young adult forms. This was in Young Avengers #1 (2005), raised by different families, Billy Kaplan becomes Wiccan, who has magical powers, and Tommy Shepherd has superspeed and called Speed in Young Avengers #10 (2006). Kate Bishop from the Hawkeye series was also on the team. The group faced Kang the Conqueror who will be introduced in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania. So this is a big step in setting up the next phase of the MCU. WandaVision has mystery, moving from silly sitcom, to something sinister!
Four Mind Stones out of Five!
