TOPIC: Let's talk WandaVision - SPOILERS!

I see your anagram and raise you one.
Tyler Hayward is We Try La Hydra.

I think you could get more fun things with Director Hayward but since Director is a title that feels like cheating.

Sorry don't have time to read through all of this. So will just give a little to think about.

Wanda Vision is to be the replacement for Marvels Agents of SHIELD. To serve as the tie in and clean up between the movies.

As seen in the last ep. they intro-ed the Xmen's quick silver. Not the one from Age of Ultron.

Now how and why this ties in.

It's been reported from Patrick Stewart that he has in fact been in talks with Kevin Feige about him being in Dr. Strange 2. And it's also been reported that Marvel is talking with Jennifer Lawrence for the same movie.

It's also been mentioned Marvel is currently looking at a new actor to play Wolverine.

Ryan Reynolds is likely the one who puts the biggest smile on my face with what I've heard. Marvel is reportedly looking at giving him one hell of a massive multi film contract. Essentially he'll be taking on the role Stan Lee once did in the MCU. Cameo clips of Dead Pool.

It's also been reported Chris Evans is inking a deal for a multi film deal with Marvel as well. What this means is still unknown.

Thor L&T movie. Portman is back. Likely suited up as a female Thor. Thor gets his flying chariot pulled by his loyal goats. And talk is Tessa Thompson "Valkyrie" is going to be a even bigger role in future films. With Karen Gillan "Nebula" signing a couple more film deals.

And lastly. Tobey Maguire is looking at a much larger role as well. How or what is still unknown. I've heard Tom Holland has voiced some opp to this move.

Re: episode 5 influences - Each episode seems to have multiple influences. I've been watching New Rockstars on YouTube (YMMV) and for E5 he pointed out references to Growing Pains, Full House, and Family Ties.

Re: Hayward - I'm saying it now - He's a Skrull.

Re: Stork - I think Wanda wasn't able to control due to her powers being wonky during pregnancy.

Re: ATJ - I thought there was some reluctance on his part to come back. Which is sad; I like him a lot better as QS than EP. (No offense to EP, just not liking the X-version.)

Re: Monica's engineer friend - Reed Richards or (my guess) her Skrull childhood friend.

Re: Agnes - She may be AH, but I think she's a red herring. If so, I don't see where they've introduced the big bad yet. That doesn't jive with their storytelling (where the Act 3 villain is introduced in Act 1 or 2), but could WandaVision basically be Act 1, with Spiderman 3 as Act 2, and Dr Strange Act 3?

Family Ties is by far the most visual allusion in episode 5, but there are some fun little nods to a certain sitcom featuring Elizabeth Olsen's older sisters.

If you want to see a summary of all the easter eggs, I like New Rockstar's coverage.

Natalie Portman as Thor was confirmed by Marvel at SDCC.

Wanda rewrote..re shot why geraldine had to leave. It changed from episode 3 to 4. They showed the same scene and she said diff things. Maybe episode 3 and 5. But you get the meaning

I think it's someone else calling a lot of the shots. I read an article suggesting it could be Arnim Zola for a lot of reasons, including the old-style TV (he was stuck in old tech). The rest of the series should be a lot of fun.

Yeah, I haven't been this eager for new episodes of a series in a long time.

I'm glad Disney+ is dropping an episode per week instead of the entire series at one time like Netflix.

I think it works well for Wandavision. I don't think it worked well at all for season 1 of The Mandalorian. I am not convinced it worked well for season 2 either.
