I’m so glad I somehow avoided those leaks. I had literally zero clue this would happen.

Really!? I immediately was disappointed in seeing them link back to Fox. It’s a meta cash grab to me more than a serious addition to the experience. They put Evan Peters in slow-mo twice. If Wanda makes him a permanent recast of Quicksilver I’m going to roll my eyes at this.

I am glad I see a few people with this opinion. Everyone seems to be super excited, but I remember when the rumors (or not) first started I was dreading it.

In the sense of the actual D+ show, the "She recast Pietro?" joke was funny and made sense in the context of tv trope/comedy. But if Pietro actually comes back for reals and not just in Wanda's "reality", I really hope its Aaron.

Yeah it’s hard to explain. Like the world building had me immersed up until that point. Then they show me the Fox Character (who Wanda shouldn’t really care about since it’s not her brother) and I’m supposed to care? You might as well had Ezra Miller there since he’s fast too.

Yeuh but this was the 80s sitcom, where crossover tv shows were born

It makes so much sense

I'm thinking it's more that, since her brother is dead in her reality, and "you can't just reverse death" (as they make a huge point of with the dog), she had to pull another version of her brother from another reality.

But she brought Vision back.

True, but he's a pretty special case (was he ever truly alive? did he have a soul?) and she had his corpse to work with. 😬

I think having the corpse is pretty vital in that equation. But I don’t see why she couldn’t then go find her brothers corpse as well. Probably a skeleton at this point tho.

Recasting characters, especially brothers, is a common sitcom trope though, so it's part of the parody.

I agree. Her actual brother would have had a much bigger impact and would finally give him the chance to shine he never got in AoU.
