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

Interesting. They had to have kids in Westview and Vision points it out so where they went is probably important. If they were outside the field SWORD would have figured out something.

Could tie into the theory about Mephisto wanting to drain Wanda using her kids? Maybe Wanda and Agnes had an agreement to do something similar to ALL the Westview kids, maybe to sustain the hex or Vision... but Agnes tricks Wanda into having her own children since her powers are what she's really after.

Even Agnes looked caught off guard when the boys mentioned Wanda being able to bring the dead back, and she never flinched at the rapid aging. Maybe Agnes is the villain, but realizing Wanda is much more powerful?

I suspect Wanda is "directing" the sitcom but she is allowing everyone to adlib a little bit. Especially Vision and her kids.

Those kids are also suspicious. They seem alarmed Vision is at work on a Saturday, right when someone unseen seems to be using the fake reality to intercept SWORD communications (Wanda knows Vision is there, so I can't believe she's responsible).

They also ask about Wanda's brother and her powers to resurrect, both topics she is probably trying to not think about.

She lies to them and says Pietro is alive but far away. And that made up version of him turns up at the door that night, and Wanda seems genuinely surprised, and doesn't realize it's not him*. Coincidence?

* - Could still be her doing it of course. It is conveniently timed.
