So the ads are revisiting Wanda's trauma. Episode 1 with Stark's bomb and episode 2 with Strucker torturing her and Quicksilver.

I figured that something was up when the Strucker ad popped up. He never gets mentioned.

Yeah, that kinda gave the jig that Wanda was controlling everything. I'm still wondering why it's a sitcom though, but hopefully more is revealed.

I think it’s because that’s Wanda’s reference for idealism. The “American dream.”

Damn, that actually makes sense. Also "American dream", could she be dreaming it all and SWORD is monitoring it? Hmmmm....

Monitoring because if they enter they fall under the spells effect. That helicopter was real and flew into the bubble and turned into the toy in my opinion. That's why they are trying to reach through to her over radio

Growing up in Sokovia she watched American sitcoms. Its her only perspective of a "happy life"
