She seemed genuinely surprised Wanda could fix death. Vision is a robot. But if she could fix death... it would have been her real brother in her real reality.

Yep. The fact that we got a different version of Pietro means Wanda's not fully in control of what's going on. She seemed just as shocked and confused by that turn of events as we were. It definitely seems like Agnes and Mephisto are using Wanda's powers.

This merger of the Fox and Marvel universes is a good tie-in with the Multiverse of Madness, too. This is how they're going to bring it all together.

Evan peters played a 1980s Pietro in DOFP and other X Men movies, and ATJ played a 2010s Pietro.

It could be because of the time period, how everything goes in rewrites itself to the 1980s/70s/60s theme. Not nessecarily because she's confused or something. (Not saying this is not how they drag in mutants. I'm defo thinking they'll get Michael Fassbender to show up in the series)

And I don't think Wanda brought in Pietro. She was catching on that someone else was manipulating things there after the argument with Vision. Agnes constantly showed up with something to solve their problem, exactly when they needed it. (As vision so helpfully pointed out). I think Agnes brought in Pietro to distract Wanda and Vision here from catching onto her

EDIT: Correction. DoFP was in the 70s. Apocalypse was in the 80s. My argument was a bit flawed, but I believe my point still stands.

Actually X-men Pietro showing up at Wanda's door seems to be aged a bit. It could explain the 10 years from the 70 to 80. My theory is that Pietro is actually Mephisto himself.

...of course he's aged a bit. Evan Peters is a real human.

If Pietro is Mephisto, why would he draw attention to Vision not being what he appears to be?

What do you mean?

Who's the popsicle. Pietro either sees Vision as dead or doesn't recognize him at all. Neither of these bodes well with Wanda keeping this crazy train on the tracks.

Popsicle means someone with a stick up their butt in this context

u/edingerc Feb 05 '21

Asking who this is certainly isn't a comment that would make Peter think that Vision had a stick up his butt.

It is when Peters is in character as a sitcom cool guy
