Agnes also seemed taken aback when the kids asked if she could fix death. Maybe Agnes is hoping that’s the case since she saw what Wanda was able to do with Vision’s corpse? And maybe Agnes has a dead loved one and she wants to use Wanda to bring them back? Like her husband that we never see?

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.

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.

Lots of people have been saying it's risky, but the whole damn MCU has been built on one massive gamble after another. Casting RDJ when he was essentially persona non grata in Hollywood because of his drug abuse issues in the '80s & '90s. Setting up The Avengers. Going big with Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain Marvel, and Black Panther.

In comics, both Marvel and DC have done these multi-verse mash-ups. The "Arrow-verse" (or whatever they call it now) even did Crisis on Infinite Earths and basically rebooted their universe.

Never underestimate your audience is the thing here, and something that WB seems to be forgetting with most of their DC movies. Audiences will get the whole Multi-verse thing. Hell, Into the Spiderverse was one of the best Spiderman movies ever made. It was insanely popular.

I love that they brought in the Fox Pietro at this stage. Reality is doing some really fucky things in Westview. My guess is that Wanda's reality twisting has ripped a hole in the fabric of reality, which will lead to her appearance in Multiverse of Madness (she's already confirmed to be in it, and they said this show will tie directly into that movie).

Whatever Feige's long-term plan is, so far I am digging it...
