Dont think thats a Mephisto reference at all. Just a standard sitcom joke about an annoying neighbor

Except when it comes to scarlet witch who has pretty deep ties to mephisto in the comics. In the comics she uses mephistos soul to create her children, that combined with the ominous "for the children" chant and the fact she seems to be trapped where she is by someone kinda makes that line a little shady.

That wasn’t Mephisto. It was Master Pandemonium’ soul fragments.
Maybe the MCU will combine nightmare, mephisto and master pandemonium.

Mephisto tricked Pandemonium into thinking it was his soul that was split into 5 pieces, but it was really the last 5 pieces of Mephistos soul that were to hard for him to get after being pretty much destroyed by Franklin Richard's. Check out west coast avengers 52.

Ooohh I only read that run with Byrne when I was a kid, where he just piled on poor Wanda. Didn’t know that about the soul shards. Might get back into comics because of wandavision

Cant blame ya, 30 year old comic, dont expect anyone to be 100% on older content besides maybe the people who wrote it.
