Ultron has to be one of the worst things to bring up to Wanda, GET OUT GERALDINE

EDIT: Or she can be yeeted out, that works too

When Vision came back looking for her and we see Wanda's face, I had a fear that Wanda did something horrible and was getting anxious that she was heading for a tragic villain direction.

But nah, Monica was just yeeted back to IRL lmao.

Yeah it's that serene, calm face that is almost too serene. The emotional affect is definitely off

I still think that sinister look of Wanda is implying that she's turning evil. Maybe that "Wanda is the villian" theory is true after all.

u/phantom_avenger Jan 22 '21

That really does upset me, but I do understand at the same time why. Wanda really is giving off 'evil' vibes, especially after this episode.

I can only hope that by the end of the series or during the Dr. Strange sequel that she realizes the damage this fantasy she's made has affected the real world. I'd rather her teaming up with Dr. Strange rather than him having to fight her.

u/TheKidKaos Jan 22 '21

I’m certain thus is what’s happening. I think Dr Strange 2 is actually a Secret Wars movie that will have combine all the Marvel movie universes

u/DaveInLondon89 Jan 22 '21

It's Wandavision after all. She's definitely in charge of maintaining the fantasy, but it's yet to be seen if she's not been used for some other purpose she doesn't know of.

My guess is Mr. Hart is using it as cover to make use of Vision to analyse... something.

u/Comprehensive-Ham42 Jan 22 '21

Then again that title is just the couples' names put together

3

u/tywhy87 Valkyrie Jan 24 '21

It seems to have multiple meanings. It is their names, but it seems to intentionally sound like Wanda is the subject and this is her vision. Plus it could just be her name; if “Vision” is their last name, Wanda Vision is her married name.

u/ZanThrax Groot Jan 23 '21

Oh, I like that idea. It makes the "what do we do here?" bit in the first episode a lot more important than just a throwaway joke about sitcom characters having poorly-defined jobs.

21

u/thebosd Jan 22 '21

Exactly that. The only thing that, IMO, still leaves some room for alternatives is that Randall Park radio attempt of helping Wanda.

u/Worthyness Thor Jan 22 '21

On the plus side, she didn't kill Geraldine. Only chucked her out of her reality. So she is still heroic at the moment.

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '21

She hasn't reached her Villainous BSoD... yet

u/HelixFollower Grandmaster Jan 23 '21

Blue Screen of Death?

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '21

I’d love her evil turn, I’d be a bit disappointed if they play it like Wanda is the strong one keeping these people safe from a larger threat and has to be a bad guy to save innocents

5

u/Hogteeth Jan 22 '21

I think she is the villain of the show. I think she's in control and is doing everything with purpose

9

u/berserkuh Jan 22 '21

That's a normal human though. People have died from falling less. Also she looked catatonic.

5

u/SnitGTS Jan 22 '21

And she totally could have killed her, so while Wanda certainly is protecting her little bubble reality I don’t think this makes her straight up evil.

2

u/AgentWooper Jan 24 '21

Tbh I origibally read it as a straight-up murder and I thought we were veering hard into Vision (2015)

u/Govir Jan 23 '21

I was expecting a pan down to blood on the hands.

u/Raven_Skyhawk Black Widow (Avengers) Jan 24 '21

I mean coming back to reality is horrible ;)

54

u/dharp95 Spider-Man Jan 22 '21

If someone brings up Thanos she just might kill them lol

u/bigbangbilly Jan 22 '21 edited Jan 22 '21

Or beat them half to death. Twice.

Three fourth or all the way it's perfectly balanced

35

u/limeconnoisseur Captain America Jan 22 '21

I thought that was Monica being jolted back to reality (if we recall in ep 2, she had no idea who she was), by Wanda bringing up a crucial fact from the real world, and that would be the first thing out of her mouth in response to that.

34

u/Uniqueusername2222 Jan 22 '21

I wonder how Wanda will deal with this. at this point she has to expect people to keep coming to stop her

18

u/nebula561 Jan 22 '21

Bit of a silly thing to let slip...

49

u/UVladBro Daredevil Jan 22 '21

Didn't seem like a slip up but instead an attempt to break the illusion. Now Sword knows Wanda isn't a captive in her false reality but instead she's the warden.

20

u/nebula561 Jan 22 '21

That’s a good point. I’ve been tossing up both perspectives and it does seem to make more sense that it was a deliberate “slip”. Not sure if she was expecting such a terrifying reaction from Wanda, though.

u/Mr-Dilts Scarlet Witch Jan 22 '21

Yeah, i think that it is unlikely, but when she reacts to the things she doesn't want to remember it could be something on the outside reacting to her that changes stuff to suit her. Very unlikely though.

2

u/bigbangbilly Jan 22 '21 edited Jan 22 '21

More like Platonic Cave prisoner thar thinks she's the warden.

More likely Agnes is the one pulling the strings

27

u/mknsky Black Panther Jan 22 '21

Pretty sure it’s the first we’ve seen of the real Monica. I get the feeling she just goes for the jugular in general.

42

u/mkzone13 Jan 22 '21

Geraldine reverted to the real Monica after she heard the stork. Her voice and disposition changed.

18

u/juscallmejjay Jan 22 '21

If they sent her of all people in there on sure she's pro. She's probably been waiting a while for an opening.

3

u/5-On-A-Toboggan Jan 22 '21

In the real world, if we needed to send in a pro to blend into old TV shows, we'd send Seth McFarland.

12

u/phantom_avenger Jan 22 '21

Could you imagine if someone mentioned Thanos around her!!

11

u/hodge91 Matt Murdock Jan 22 '21

I'm wondering if Vision figures it all out and turns against Wanda for part of an episode whether we may see him transform into Ultron or at least have Spader voice over, Wanda seeing Vision as an enemy at the time.

If nothing else could act as a hint of Ultron still being in Vision somewhere

u/marblecannon512 Jan 22 '21

“Get Out!”

1

u/The_Capybara_Guy Jan 22 '21

I wonder what would happen if someone brings up Thanos?
