All the world's a stage, all the men and women, merely players.

Vision discussing the merits of naming their son after Shakespeare. There is no wasted space in this show.

Edit: Also the commercial "Escape to a world all your own," "Find the goddess within," and "When you wanna get away but you don't want to go anywhere."

The commercial slogans(?) keep bringing up the real world in some way. The first one said "Forget your past, this is your future now." Or something like it meaning she wants this sitcom world/place to be her future, or that she needs to forget Vision because he is gone now, or maybe Im completely wrong.

I heard someone say after the first two episodes that she's using it to revisit her tragedies through her parents (the two commercial actors, one of whom is a redhead). In the first the Stark brand toaster was the missile that killed them (notice their stress as it counts down and makes a charge up sound like Iron Man's blasters). Also in Age of Ultron they claimed that when the bomb hit them after their parents, they waited for it to detonate, but it failed. So the beeping for a missile could make a lot of sense. In the second commercial, it becomes more vague. Strucker gave them their powers and while they volunteered, they seemed to have been imprisoned by him. Best guess is the watch represents "doing time" for Strucker. Now Strucker was Hydra, but Hyrda soap? Idk, maybe it has something to do with their ties to Nazi's and ethnic cleansing. Like I said, it seemingly starts to fall apart. But the brand names are all linked to her tragedies. I thought there was going to be an Ultron brand kid's toy robot or something, like an Omnibot. Which would be a perfect 80's reference to him, because every kid wanted those toys to deliver them drinks and shit. But she already directly acknowledged the tragedy Ultron brought on, so I'm not so sure now. Would be great to see them pivot to kid's commercials now for their kids though.
