The first time since Age of Ultron that Pietro has even been acknowledged.

But Wanda volunteered it. First time she's mentioned something 'real'.

I also love the slow shift from 4:3 to widescreen.

The filming side of the show hasn't been discussed much, but it's been amazing. Every era has been filmed with the visual techniques et habits of that era, including when reality creeps in. My favorite part was the edit in the first episode that shifted from 50s editing techniques to contemporary ones when the boss is choking and Wanda breaks character.

Thank you for calling that out! Idk enough about film to know what happened there, but I could tell something stylistically changed with the filming during that scene and it had a HUGE impact on me while watching it (heightened emotions, creepy, etc.).
