I didn’t give up, though I did let it pile up on the DVR for a while.  
They actually pulled it off - it wasn’t perfect, but it worked pretty well.

Spoiler for the final season: And now that I think about it - they spent the final season doing something similar to WV. They started time traveling so every episode was a different decade. It was kind of fun. Forgot about that until right now.

For one thing, AOS skipped the Snap.

Oh, they certainly have options to bring him back in a number of ways, with or without the Stone. But I think there’s some significance in the mention of the Big Bang in the last episode, and the origins of the Infinity Stones.

But that stone was set up in multiple scenes as critical to the Vision. To just say “Kidding! We decided Vision doesn’t need the stone after all!” would ring false.

Maybe it would ring false. But they spent that whole subplot in Infinity War on having Shuri working on removing the stone from him safely, so I don’t think it would be too surprising if it ended up happening.

Well. How about that.

For anyone who doesn’t like clicking on the Twitter: This is an excerpt from an interview during the Ultron junket, in which Olsen is asked what she’d like Scarlet Witch to do in the future. She responds that she loves the “House of M” storyline from the comics, in which Wanda goes nuts in her desire for a happy family life, but she’s pretty sure Marvel will never do anything so dark and twisted.

And yet, here we are.

Several things happened in this episode that I did not expect. And they have very interesting implications for the MCU at large.

I’m gonna have to watch this one again, I think. There was some stuff that I thought was just throwaway lines, but after seeing the end of the episode I’m reconsidering. Like the director asked Jimmy whether Wanda has an alias or a funny nickname. That seemed like just a little joke, but maybe the director knows more about what’s going on.

Yep.

For the nice easy, completely immaterial stuff: That was the Keaton’s kitchen & living room (flipped). And the credits had elements from Family Ties, Growing Pains, and Full House. And there’s a distinct lack of hexagons in the opening credits and the episode as a whole.

And I also need to rewatch it. I don’t know what to do with the ending.

It’s gratifying to see that the earlier speculation is almost entirely paying off, but that the expected reveals are being handled in smart and surprising ways.

So if the first arc of the MCU was the Infinity Stones, it seems that with this, along with _Spider-Man 3_, _Doctor Strange 2_, and possibly _Ant-Man 3_, the new arc seems to be centered around the Multiverse.

Am I crazy or did the recap before the episode change what Wanda said about Geraldine? because I distinctly remember her telling Vision she just went home or something dismissive like that, but the recap had an ominous “she didn’t belong here” instead.

It’s pretty normal for recaps to “cheat,” remixing the edit, in order to compress the background for rapid communication.
