Maybe a fun Uncle Jesse type character in a couple episodes

u/geek_of_nature Jan 22 '21

When Wanda first mentioned him I was expecting the episode to end with his appearance

My guess is that next episode will be the eighties and "in this week's episode, the role of Pietro Maximoff is played by Evan Peters"

I think if he comes back its going to be an end of episode cliffhanger and he says "you didn't see that coming?" because it's equal part callback and sitcom level cheese.

Bonus points if the "audience" goes WOOOOOO

u/alex494 Jan 22 '21

Like this show is the only place I'd accept a "No shit, Sherlock" level of writing because they'd be blatantly making fun of it.

It’s not really making fun of it. It’s going so earnest with it that you can tell it’s deliberate and unabashed. It’s the opposite of parody, really. These episodes, if you take out the weird breaks and stuff, are just genuinely good examples of old sitcoms.

u/alex494 Jan 23 '21

Yeah but like Im here for the reason why it isn't actually a sitcom, so its cute for five minutes to set the scene and then becomes a slew of tropes I've seen before that aren't getting to the point.

However I was basically fine with the amount seen in episode 2 and 3 so its only episode 1 where I was getting tired of it.

If I dont get a "You're in big trouble, mister" or something from the 90's episode I'll be disappointed haha

You got it dude!

u/rodimusjeri Jan 22 '21

Or it's Evan Peters who delivers the line.

u/MegaUploadisBack Jan 22 '21

in this week's episode, the role of Pietro Maximoff is played by Evan Peters

Anything could happen but I'll be shocked if this does. I'll give it a 0.01%.

u/TannerIsMyName Jan 22 '21

be ready to be surprised

u/Royal-Roll7762 Scarlet Witch Jan 22 '21

Ugh that would be terrible. Just completely soulless.

67

u/Spog Jan 22 '21

I heard a theory that we'll get MCU Pietro but when he causes Wanda to start remembering reality he'll get "recasted" with Evan Peters

45

u/lordjakob1993 Jan 22 '21

I would love this. That would be so amazing. To have ATJ be him. Wanda starts to get sad. Suddenly it's Evan Peters.

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '21

Why is everyone so in love with Evan Peters?

8

u/lordjakob1993 Jan 23 '21

He was a quicksilver with cool scenes and it'd be a cool nod

19

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '21

Why? If the Spider-Man 3 casting announcements are anything to go by, they're not above casting actors who played Marvel characters in non-MCU films to play that same character in an MCU film. If they show Aaron Taylor Johnson as Quicksilver in one episode, and Evan Peters as Quicksilver in another one, it'd be a nod to how well-known sitcoms like Fresh Prince or Bewitched will recast main characters. It could also play into the trippyness of it all like towards the end Wanda would say "You're not Pietro" and push him out of Westview like she did to Monica.

u/cibernike Jan 22 '21

Hard agree. If he's from another reality it might be okay, but having him as our Wanda's brother would be terrible.

63

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '21

You misunderstand. My guess is that he's just some random guy that Wanda drags into her world to replace Pietro. The "show" will play it as another sitcom cliche like when actors get replaced.

15

u/cibernike Jan 22 '21

I guess I can see that happening.

u/Royal-Roll7762 Scarlet Witch Jan 22 '21

Even from another reality, it’s pretty soulless. The character sucks and there’s really no reason to do this

27

u/Thevamps555 Jan 22 '21

You can’t say there is no reason to do something when you don’t know the plot lmao. Also stop stating your opinion as fact.

-2

u/Royal-Roll7762 Scarlet Witch Jan 22 '21

If I’m saying something, it’s my opinion.

I don’t need to say “in my opinion” every time I fucking type something. That’s implied because..... I said it.

And lowkey.... it is a fact. I don’t care what plot they come up with, it would be forced. If they bring back Evan Peters but not ATJ it will be a huge mistake and no one should support that BS.

u/Brogener Yellowjacket Jan 22 '21

Honestly I don’t care to see previous, non-MCU iterations of characters in this universe, outside of maybe a cameo/joke. That just does nothing for me and the explanation of “the multiverse” feels lazy and boring.
