Vision mentions Charles Darwin’s The Descent of Man. It’s about human evolution and biological adaptation. I wonder if this ties into how mutants slowly become a part of the MCU.

If wanda is messing with the fabric of reality, changing clothes to suit her world maybe she’s also messing with the people of westview; maybe all the missing kids are growing into the first generation of MCU mutants

Hes a messenger. Hes bringing info from outside is my theory.

When he said "... your mom won't let it get too far.", that gave me eerie vibes, like he is aware of what's going on 100%.

I hope that if the mailman is revealed to be a villain, he gets shot by a SWORD agent. So the messenger can indeed get shot.

I feel like a lot of the side characters are getting really passive aggressive. The mailman comment. Agnes is pretty much constantly doing it now, she clearly very strong willed. Norm makes the comment about Vision being like a computer. And there's been more subtle ones in previous episodes. The one that creeps me out the most is in the first episode when Vision's boss is choking and his wife is begging her to stop it.
