Spoiler for last week’s bombshell episode! Dr. Darcy Lewis mentioned an “astrophysics” who could build a transport that could enter the Westview Anamoly and protect the riders from being transformed into Wanda’s sitcom world. This is rumored to be Reed Richards! On Disney Investor Day, Kevin Feige announced a Fantastic Four movie in development with director Jon Watts. Could this mention be a hint at a S.W.O.R.D. program that created the FF? Lastly, there was hints from Wanda’s rapidly growing kids, Billy and Tommy, that they didn’t understand why she doesn’t bring back her brother, PIetro. This was also something dark with the death of their dog, Sparky, and we ended the episode with a knock at the door. Wanda opened it to reveal Pietro! The stuning part is that it wasn’t Aaron Taylor-Johnson from Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), as Darcy says, “She recast Pietro?” so instead we saw Evan Peters from X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)! The X-Men brought into the MCU?
Throughout it all, Vision is troubled by Wanda and tried to confront her. The key is Wanda and we also saw how she walked out as Scarlet Witch through the bubble to deal with Director Hayward and S.W.O.R.D.! Tune in this episode to find out how this will play out! We get the home video of Tommy (in green clothes) with the 90’s sitcom a la Malcolm in the Middle for the WandaVision intro. There is the credit for Agnes and also the kids Billy and Billy Maximoff (in red clothes). Then, their uncle, Pietro Maximoff, all using their super powers. It is Halloween as we are told by Billy with a red cape and blue headband like his Young Avengers character, Wiccan. He is narrating to the camera which moves onto Tommy in green t-shirt. He mocks his brother for his costume. They take in bowls to see their uncle asleep on the couch. Pietro surprises them with his super speed. Peters has done sitcoms with the Disney series, Phil of the Future. Pietro is funny, a character challenging Wanda's reality.
The kids scream at his antics and then we get Wanda walking down the stairs in comics accurate Scarlet Witch costume, not MCU realistic, more on the cosplay side. Billy thinks she’s dressed as Red Riding Hood. Pietro jokes about their costumes in Sokovia and we see a flashback with the twins as kids. Billy notes his mother is acting strangely with the arrival of her brother, “a man child.” Then, we get Vision in his cosplay comics accurate costume complete with yellow boxer shorts and cape. Vision says to Wanda that he is dressed like a Mexican wrestler. It looks like Vision is back in sitcom mode. He is about to leave to help with the neighborhood watch. Wanda is upset, but Pietro says he will watch over the kids. He leaves and Pietro startles Wanda with a spooky face. Pietro wants shaving cream to put into water balloons. She mentions that he doesn’t have a costume so he super speeds away and returns in Quicksilver costume with lightning bolt blue shirt and wild hair along with Tommy, who is the Young Avenger Speed.
Then, we get night as the S.W.O.R.D. base scrambles with the distortion of the bubble’s wall. Personnel bring in the disabled 80’s era drone with Monica angry at Director Hayward’s deception, Monica Rambeaux: First Blood. Darcy makes fun of him and Monica says she works for her. Jimmy says the threat of Wanda is something he can’t handle. Director Hayward brings up Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel, and Monica calls him a coward! Hayward has the three escorted off the base. Jimmy and Monica knock out the guards while Darcy is there stunned at their actions. They hide the guards and take their S.W.O.R.D. ponchos. Back at Halloween, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch watch as the kids go off to trick or treat. There is now a whole town of parents with kids. Wanda asks Pietro about a kid in Sokovia, she wonders why he looks different, Pietro says, “If I found Shangri La, I wouldn’t want to be reminded of the past either.” Quicksilver goes off with his nephews super speedster style. Wanda goes up to Herb dressed as Frankenstein on patrol. He reports as we see the speedsters go through the actions of taking all the candy, smashing the jack o lanterns, and covering everyone in Silly String!
Herb says that Vision is not on duty for the neighborhood watch. Vision is walking the streets and sees a woman about to put up a decoration, but just repeating the movement. A tear drops from her eye at being forced to go through this farce. Vision walks away. Then, we get a claymation commercial with a shark talking to a kid on an island. He has brought Yo-Magic yogurt cups. The shark gives one to a kid, but we see in a dissolve, he can’t open the lid and turns into a skeleton. The reality like the woman who couldn’t go through the forced decoration hanging is coming through. Then, we return to the Halloween night, Pietro is not happy that his sister had them return all of the candy. He talks about his sitcom function. Wanda is suspicious he doesn’t have the Sokovian accent. Pietro admits that he was shot in the street, but came when “she needed him.” The kids tell Uncle Pete about the candy. Speed uses super speed, not using his uncle’s powers to race, to get the giant candy bars. Wanda is happy at his use of powers and tells Tommy to take his brother warning them not to go past Ellis Avenue. This seems to be a hint to comics writer, Warren Ellis.
At the S.W.O.R.D. base, the trio sneaks into an empty monitoring station, Darcy hacks into the system. They find that Hayward is tracking Vision through his “vibranium signature” and has also detected all of the Westview residents. Jimmy notes that Wanda’s control over the residents is weaker at the edge of town. Vision sees the frozen citizens and shifts into his normal body. He flies up to see parts of the town is inactive. Then, he sees Agnes in her car frozen, he revives her and she says he is an Avenger, dead, and they not allowed to leave the town. Back at S.W.O.R.D., Darcy has found Hayward analyzed Monica’s blood, she is being changed, into the superhero Spectrum? Monica was introduced as a superhero, taking the name Captain Marvel, in Amazing Spider-Man annual #16 (1982). We get Vision trying to get free of the barrier, but of course he has to remain inside of the bubble. This has consequences for Hayward and S.W.O.R.D.! Wanda’s power show as red hexes, has she taken the red Reality Stone?, the Aether that was in Thor: The Dark World (2013) to remake the harsh reality? WandaVision is getting closer to getting the truth revealed, there is fun with Pietro, but Wanda is still in control!
Three Mind Stones out of Five!
