It’s hard to make out what the plot is, but it looks pretty cool. 
They’re doing a good job replicating 50s/60s television shows.
I’m definitely intrigued. Looks good.
Looks cool, and very creepy. I’m feeling something like I felt at the end of the first Avengers movie, when Thanos turned around with that creepy smile.¹
I suspect that this series will be kicking off the connecting tissue, as it were, of the MCU phase 4. Wanda is hella powerful; if that gets combined with insanity (as seems likely, at this point), then there’s no telling where things might end up.
¹ My wife tells me I did a quiet, but very definite, ‘squee’ when he did that.
I remember many folks, me included, wondering why it was called WandaVision, which seems such a lame title. But now it makes sense, if it’s all a delusion or a trap or whatever, set inside 50s TV shows.
I still think Vision was backed up by Shuri on Wakanda’s servers, so that might play into it.
Do we have a release date yet?
My name is Earl did the locked into a 50s/60s sitcom before and of course there is the great Pleasantville. But this looks good, better than I was expecting.
Not yet, but they originally said before the end of 2020 and so far we haven’t heard that has changed. My guess is mid-to-late November, after Mandalorian has begun, but before Christmas ramps up.
Disney Plus has been pretty slow on their new shows that weren’t stickly Disney Channel fare. I know some of it was COVID related but still seems slow for their big roll-out year.
In the comics,
Wanda’s powers were originally supposed to be luck manipulation (which somehow let her shoot energy bolts), then she learned magic, and the way her powers were depicted were all over the place. No two writers seemed to agree on what the heck her powers actually were. Even with a single writer the depiction of her powers was wildly inconsistent.
Eventually, it was retconned that she never had “luck manipulation” or “magic” - her power had always been reality manipulation. And she was insane. She completely re-wrote reality at least a couple of times.
WandaVision seems to be leaning heavily into that. It also seems to be drawing on a recent comic series where the Vision creates an artifical, 1950s-style family of fellow synthezoids (it does not go well).
So, all a reality caused by Wanda’s power, like House of M only it’s her own ideal world she’s creating? And Monica Rambeau is trying to break her out of it?
And hints, with that happy suburban life, of Vision’s own standalone title…
damn, ninjaed on both counts…
Their classic comic book outfits as Halloween costumes is just wonderful.
Back in February, Bob Iger (Disney CEO) said it would premiere in December. Recent press releases indicate before the end of this year, so sometime in December seems like a good bet. No firm date yet, though.
They seem to be living in Rob and Laura Petrie’s house on Bonny Meadow Road in New Rochelle.
I noticed that too!
If anyone’s intrigued by that “Vision in 50s sitcom family” idea, you have got to read Tom King’s VISION mini-series.
Something that occurred to me: WandaVision seems like it has multiple layers of meaning.
On one level, of course, it’s a show about Wanda and the Vision. On another level, it’s a reference to the promotion of emerging broadcast technologies of the 1950s/60s - “Now in glorious WandaVision!”. On yet another level, though, it’s (probably) a reference to the fact that what we’re seeing is Wanda’s vision of an idealized world and an idealized life.
