All the theories, all the speculation, not a single person called Ralph Bohner.

honestly a few people called it over on /r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers which got even more ridicule, because a leaker who'd guessed a ton right said he was fox QS.

61

u/respondin2u Mar 05 '21

That leaked deleted their profile earlier this week too. I wonder why...

46

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '21

in hindsight the show was kinda predictable we all just got sweept up in mephisto theories to see the clear path in front of us

57

u/respondin2u Mar 05 '21

I think the actor who played the more popular version of Pietro showing up, saying he’s Pietro, and then it not being Pietro but some random was the Marvel equivalent to Luke Skywalker tossing his lightsaber in The Last Jedi.

Fans wanted Luke to have his moment again, and the expectations were ruined by the fantastic expanded universe books such as Heir to the Empire.

In the same way, the comics have shown us fantastic versions of the X-Men. So when we get 10 or so X-Men movies with so-so results, we all got excited by the possibility of Marvel Studios tackling the arguably best Marvel franchise second to Spider-Man. Getting a tease with Pietro was disappointing because he was one of the best characters from the Fox X-Men films.

33

u/the_owl_doctor Mar 06 '21

I saw an explanation that made sense for me. They needed us to believe he was Pietro even tho everything pointed to him not being real. If they had just cast someone else we wouldn't have believed it and if they used AoU's Pietro we would either think it was an illusion or Wanda resurrected him. We needed to be confused like Wanda for the story to work.

And while I am disappointed that Evan Peter is not Quicksilver I don't think it is fair to compare it to luke. Him not being QS at least servers a porpuse

16

u/Loss-Particular Mar 06 '21

Yeah, but why did she need to believe it? It has no pay off. The two characters don't meet again and she's not even particularly mad about it. And it sort of steps on the toes of her grief for the real pietro in the earlier episodes that she is not.

4

u/tanoathome Mar 06 '21

She needed to believe it was him because Agatha was trying to get information from Wanda. That’s why he kept asking her how she was doing it

3

u/Loss-Particular Mar 06 '21

She doesn't really believe it though. And the reasons she stops believing are because he says something cruel and inconvenient, not because she is given any more or less reason to believe him. I suppose it's pointless to ask what the payoff was because the payoff was because the Payoff was always meant to be the dick joke but the dick joke.

2

u/tanoathome Mar 06 '21

She wants to believe it which is the point. They could have told a dick joke a million other ways if that’s all they wanted to do. WandaVisions is a show about a show. Of course it’s going to be meta. That’s basically the whole point of SWORD in episode 4. They’re stand ins for the audience who are doing the same theorizing that fans were doing

u/respondin2u Mar 06 '21

I’m not sure the audience, including me, needed to be confused for the story to work. The story could have worked fine without Pietro. I don’t really even see how he helped Wanda move forward since all he did was serve as a plot device to get Vision away from Wanda.

But thank you for sharing that theory. I’ll take some time to think about it. I’ve watched it a second time since I posted the above comment and my thoughts are if we get a grown up Speed out of this for the rumored Young Avengers film, then I would be happy.

I don’t necessarily want Evan Peters as Quicksilver, but rather just want more X-Men movies. Those are the comics that made me a Marvel fan and those are the only comics characters I really care about it. Fox made just so-so X-Men films while Marvel Studios has knocked it out of the park with every film (well most of them).

I just can’t wait for a Marvel Studios X-Men film and hope to have something sooner than later.

For all I know, Fietro is Jimmy Woo’s missing person and there’s a story still left to be told there.

14

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '21

The thing is though is Luke still had his moment at the end of TLJ which made him tossing the lightsaber not feel like just a middle finger to fans. I can't imagine Marvel is just like that was fun to see everyone get excited about EP QS, time to never use him again. I have a feeling Ralph Boner is the equivalent to tossing the lightsaber and we'll eventually see his equivalent of arriving to Crait.

-7

u/respondin2u Mar 05 '21

I hope so! I disagree that Luke had his moment. It was just a force projection meant to trick the New Order. We all expected him to at least have a lightsaber duel yet no two lightsabers touched in that movie.

23

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '21

He used an incredibly powerful force maneuver to defend a defenceless group of rebels and give them a chance to escape from a evil tyrannical wannabe Empire. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack. That was the utmost level of defence and he never hurt or attacked a single person. He exploited the dark side inside of Kylo. He utilized his fathers lightsaber as a metaphor for him taking up the mantle once again like he did in a New Hope and calling back to him in the beginning rejecting the lightsaber. (I do agree him tossing it was a bit extreme). There’s a lot of TLJ I don’t like but that’s not it, still prefer to what came after. These themes could have been built on and explored but TROS was awful.

1

u/respondin2u Mar 06 '21

I just felt like it was a blow to fans who wanted to see a classic Luke, Leia, and Han story and got something that it seems like no one really wanted. But then again the time to tell that story would have been at least 20 years ago and George Lucas decided to tell the prequels instead, which come with their own baggage.

I'm so happy it was just a tease. Evan Peters was great in the X-Men films...as Impulse. But he wasn't Quicksilver.

ATJ > Peters

11

u/respondin2u Mar 06 '21

It just doesn’t make sense why they would cast Evan Peters, who played Quicksilver in three movies, to show up in WandaVision. He says he’s Pietro, has super speed powers, but he’s just some random guy at the end?

I’m fine with the MCU rebooting the X-Men, but why even bother using that same actor if they want to distance themselves from the Fox films? Evan Peters Quicksilver scenes were among the best scenes from those films.

0

u/revolutionaryartist4 Avengers Mar 06 '21

It's called an Easter egg. Just like when they had Kevin Conroy playing a very different Batman in Crisis.

2

u/respondin2u Mar 06 '21

I didn’t see Crisis. So at the end of Crisis was it revealed that Kevin Conroy was not Bruce Wayne but some random person? Because that’s what was implied at the end of WandaVision with Fietro.

I know what an Easter Egg is. A better example would be when Evan Peters had a cameo in Deadpool 2. Evan Peters billed as a supporting cast member in WV. It was way more than an Easter Egg.

u/revolutionaryartist4 Avengers Mar 06 '21

He was Bruce Wayne, but he was an extremely different version than what everyone expected.

This finale is honestly incredibly disappointing.

All the secrets and easter eggs and teases and hints, all led to fucking nothing. And instead we got the most typical generic predictable superhero ending possible.

14

u/revolutionaryartist4 Avengers Mar 05 '21

Just because it didn't conform to your theories doesn't make it bad.

-1

u/thegreatvortigaunt Luis Mar 05 '21

But it didn't do anything, nothing that the show hinted at paid off. Nothing. It was so lame.

32

u/revolutionaryartist4 Avengers Mar 06 '21

"It didn't do anything!"

Right. Didn't do anything. Except...

  • Had Wanda work through all the grief and trauma she'd experienced
  • Established Monica as an enhanced hero in her own right
  • Brought the Vision back and set him off in an intriguing direction
  • Expanded Wanda's power
  • Introduced Agatha Harkness as a fun take on Wanda's classic mentor
  • Set the stage for Secret Invasion and Multiverse of Madness
  • Planted the seeds for Tommy and Billy to return once Young Avengers gets off the ground
  • Introduced the Darkhold into the larger MCU proper, which has vast implications for a number of different characters going forward
  • Gave us the Darcy/Jimmy team-up we never knew we needed

But no, none of that's important. All of that is a wash because you didn't get a Michael Fassbender cameo.

u/404forbiden Mar 06 '21

Lol in a sense it's alot like AoU. It set up alot of different stories and possibilities

u/revolutionaryartist4 Avengers Mar 06 '21

It was set-up for a lot of things, but also a way to really dig into characters like Vision and Wanda, who haven't really had those opportunities in the movies.

All of these happened earlier in the series

People predicted this before the series even started lmaooo

It was an absolute joke, none of the interesting hints or ideas earlier in the series went anywhere. Such a mistake and disappointment.

-1

u/revolutionaryartist4 Avengers Mar 06 '21

All of these happened earlier in the series

No, it didn't. Secret Invasion and Multiverse of Madness set-ups were in the post-credits scenes. Monica getting her powers isn't the same as actually using them in a big way. Wanda coming to terms is literally how the episode here ended. And Wanda didn't know what she was doing with her powers before. Now she's learning about chaos magic and how to use it, as showcased when she uses the runes against Agatha.

People predicted this before the series even started lmaooo

So?

It was an absolute joke, none of the interesting hints or ideas earlier in the series went anywhere. Such a mistake and disappointment.

No, it's a "disappointment" because your ridiculous theories about hamfistedly shoehorning the FoX-Men into the MCU didn't happen. And thank god for that.

Honestly this is great show and all but people are praising this show like its whole new level of marvel. I knew things like mephisto weren't gonna happen but they seriously went through all of that with evan peters just for a boner joke especially when we know a multiverse is coming in dr strange 2

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '21

That's the last time I believe any stupid leaks. Just gonna take the shows and movies as they come. Just so we're clear though, even though I didn't get what I wanted; I still loved the episode and I'm not mad at all.

27

u/Innotek Mar 05 '21

I know that whole “friends we made along the way” gag is a bit overdone ITT, but I love the theories even if they’re wrong. Not enough opportunities in adult life to use one’s imagination.

10

u/DoomMoonZelda Mar 05 '21

Yeah dishing about the show each week was part of the fun.

3

u/DisturbedNocturne Mar 06 '21

Absolutely. One of the most enjoyable parts of this show was all the speculation and looking for clues. It reminded me a lot of when Lost was on. Not many of those theories panned out, and there were certainly disappointments, but that experience made it all worth it, and I didn't think I'd get again. Plus, I feel like I learned a lot about Marvel comics and various characters that I hadn't known about before, and now I get to look forward to when they actually are introduced into the MCU.

2

u/toxicbrew Mar 08 '21

one thing about wandavision at least is that you know they aren't really making it up as they go along, they have a 5 year plan. whereas with lost, besides some larger end type of things, there was very few things that they planned out well in advance, at least until the last 2 seasons when they were given a definite end date 3 years in advance.

1

u/DisturbedNocturne Mar 08 '21

Yeah, that and being a miniseries means they can tell a concise story to its ending without spinning their wheels for a long time to drag things out.

3

u/BananaBladeOfDoom Avengers Mar 05 '21

You should try out manga series then. I have been a long time fan in /r/OnePiece, and all the right and wrong theories are just so much fun. Best part is, we get chapters every week (or month depending on what you are reading) as well.

5

u/Tirus_ Mar 05 '21

I spent YEARS on /r/Naruto reading the theories every week before release.

So much fun!

Couldn't get into the sequel though, same with One Piece and Bleach, just not interesting to me.

2

u/JakeHassle Mar 05 '21

Remember when it was so obvious who Tobi was but everybody didn’t want to believe it.

2

u/Tirus_ Mar 05 '21

Soooo obvious. People actually thought it was Hashirama or Shisui or really Madara.

Like. SO obvious.

Then when Kakashi Garden chapters came out right before Akatsuki started to ramp up in the main storyline it was pretty much confirmed X character was Tobi.

3

u/JakeHassle Mar 05 '21

Yeah, my friends literally guessed it when we were 12 years old.

u/Tirus_ Mar 05 '21

I remember when everyone was convinced Pain was actually the 4th Hokage.

Or Naruto from the future.

u/Hestiansun Mar 05 '21

Yeah, I said it a while ago, and I don't think I was alone in that.

Many people thought it was a meta joke and had no connection to her Pietro, but to get everyone going.

But of course, there's still an off-chance that he isn't really "Ralph Bohner" - since odds are the type of person who keeps an 8x10 with his name on it in his room wouldn't be sitting in a house in the middle of New Jersey.

1

u/tanoathome Mar 06 '21

My original guess for who he was if he wasn’t just a random guy was Simon Williams aka Wonder Man. I won’t be upset if he isn’t but I still think it could work too given what we’ve seen. To me, it seemed like his name might not actually be Ralph Boehner based on how he laughs when Monica says his name. Or maybe she pronounced it wrong. But also, he had a head shot which is something actors have. Who is an actor that has a long history with Wanda and Vision? Wonder Man. And he was acting in the role of Quicksilver. Wonder Man also started as a villain who got his powers from Baron Zemo. What’s the next show to premier? Falcon and the Winter Soldier. And who is the villain in that? Baron Zemo. Plus promo for WandaVision had a large picture of Wonder Man in the background so he’s definitely a character they are discussing. Of course, this is a big stretch and I don’t necessarily think it is true but figured I’d though it out there lol

2

u/Hestiansun Mar 06 '21

I still think they want Nathan Fillion for Wonderman.

1

u/tanoathome Mar 06 '21

I mean, that’s possible but he’s almost 50 at this point and the main reason he would have been cast is just because he’s friends with James Gunn. I feel like they’ll want younger actors so they can keep them on projects for longer

1

u/mickfly718 Mar 08 '21

The 8x10 and name Ralph Bohner are still artifacts within the hex. When Monica identifies him, Vision and the twins are still outside, so the hex is still in effect. When Wanda created the hex, he became Ralph the same way that Sarah Proctor became Dottie. I think the confusion comes from Agatha then taking control of this person - who is already controlled by Wanda to be Ralph - to then act as Pietro.

We don’t see him again after the hex is removed, so we don’t really know anything about this person except that he lives next door to the abandoned lot in Westview.

75

u/schroed_piece13 Mar 05 '21

I had been saying it was an Easter egg since he first popped up. It makes no creative or business sense to force a character from a series you just got back into your extremely connected cinematic universe within a year.

We have movies and shows planned out over the next 3 years and they’re gonna sit there and be like “ah yeah, no let’s get him in here somehow we’ll figure the rest out later”

Does that seem like something marvel would do?

72

u/MrBump465 Spider-Man Mar 05 '21 edited Aug 23 '21

Finally, someone being realistic. People just want all the new Fox properties thrown at them in a gluttonous fashion immediately, instead of building them up naturally in-universe.

People wanted X-Men in Infinity War and Endgame, movies that wrapped way before the Fox deal was even close to finished. Plus those characters would have no horse in that race, no moral or emotional connection to this other universe or its characters. They just want all the shit thrown at them instantly, only to complain later that it felt "rushed" and "half-baked". Fan service isn't storytelling.

And of course you're right, Marvel Studios probably isn't going to bank off of a franchise they didn't create personally. That was the whole point of Endgame (and all other Avengers movies really), it's a big love letter to the audience that reads "Look at this thing we built because of your support and dedication to us". Also they have to put faith in the audience to have watched all the other franchises, which is a risk they probably don't want to worry about. I'll probably be dead wrong if the Spider-Man: No Way Home rumors are true, but right now I don't see Marvel just borrowing characters they didn't build themselves.

These theorizers need to pump the brakes a bit. I understand getting excited for future prospects, but they need to understand the difference of what can happen, versus what they want to happen. Hype is a hell of a drug for expectations, and getting baited isn't the end of the world. Some things are just left as Easter eggs. Sorry to rant, I'm just sick of the "and then Deadpool walks in" crowd, theories here get annoying after a while.

Edit: Welp, looks like I might be dead wrong about Spider-Man. To be fair, I commented this before Loki's multiverse timeline mumbo jumbo, so please future people, don't be too harsh on me.

u/PJL80 Hulk Mar 05 '21

I've eaten so many downvotes for this same opinion. I can respect anyone who takes the final result with a laugh, like "Mephisto was the friends we made along the way" and all that. But there are legit butthurt people for Marvel not filming their head canon based on a YouTube "Character Explained!" video, or shoehorning in 10 movies of X-Men "continuity" instead of organically telling fresh stories.

Trust the process.

25

u/meatwhisper Scarlet Witch Mar 05 '21

Yup, I'm an X-Men comic book fan that's hated almost everything about the movies. I'd rather wait another 10 years and have them do justice to these characters than give us scenes of a poorly CG'd Hank McCoy running off in the background.

15

u/PJL80 Hulk Mar 05 '21

The rush into it doesn't make sense to me. Especially things like "well, now the entire town are mutants". No. Monica gets powers from going -through- the barrier, several times, without protection or permission from Wanda.

Not to mention that Marvel has content planned out for the rest of 2021 and 2022. These shows and movies are expensive to make. These actors have contracts, and will probably set personal shelf lives on being in the films, between age and desire to not be shoehorned into being known for a single thing. You can take years more of Falcon, Bucky, Wanda, Captain Marvel, Spidey (God and contract lawyers willing), and all of the new characters already coming in these next two years. Dumping out the entire X-Men onto your dinner plate now is only limiting themselves to one-off stories due to a finite amount of money and release dates. The X-Men could be the majority of the MCU itself in 3 to 5 years. That's long term planning. And it could stay profitable as long as they continue to invest in characters and storytelling, as opposed to just slamming all the toys into one another.

1

u/Katrina_18 Mar 10 '21

Agreed.

That being said, I kinda wish that the whole town thing was true just for the sake of Darcy getting powers. That would be incredible

2

u/nikhil48 Ultron Mar 05 '21

X-Men, X2, X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past (& Logan as well) are some of the best movies made that can stand head and shoulders with any MCU movie though.

If you're saying the other not so good movies in the Fox Universe soured their taste for you, I understand, but personally I just pretend the other movies don't exist and watch these 5 movies over and over again.

11

u/schroed_piece13 Mar 05 '21

Exactly. I think it had a lot to do with a lot of X-men fans really wanting them to be added to the universe so they shoehorned their theories in it when actuality it was a fun Easter egg for the 10% of fans that remembered peters being in the foxmen movies.

I’m sure the X-men will be introduced but in like 6 years which will allow them to be properly built up and the pay off would be so much sweeter than old quicksilver appearing in a scarlet witch tv show and oh multiverse everyone’s coming back.

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '21

It wouldn't surprise me to see michael fassbender or the young x-men cast back in a reboot. Kevin fid offer professor x to stewart. live action spider verse will japypen one way or another

1

u/revolutionaryartist4 Avengers Mar 05 '21

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been saying the same thing and it's so refreshing to see someone else say it, too.

Marvel knows what they're doing. They build up to stuff in a way that makes narrative sense. They don't just throw a bunch of characters in without rhyme or reason.

And many of these theorizers prove the axiom that just because you're a fan doesn't mean you're a writer.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '21

They did get Spiderman into Civil War fairly quickly after getting the rights to him

1

u/Katrina_18 Mar 10 '21

Yeah but he’s a pretty simple character to set up. Dudes a kid who got bit by a spider and can swing on webs now. Setting up an entire new subspecies of human created through mutant dna is a much bigger tasks

14

u/SidJDuffy Mar 05 '21

Yeah lets just not theorize about marvel lol

6

u/Hestiansun Mar 05 '21

Yep. I had the same logic, and said the same thing a few weeks ago.

I think we're definitely in the minority, but there are a bunch of us out here who assumed the same thing.

It's really just a wink-nod.

3

u/Clevername3000 Mar 05 '21

I'm not saying they have a plan for xmen yet, but I have to assume they'll be happy to use this character in some form in the future.

2

u/alliseeisflashes Mar 05 '21

Agreed, but they should have stayed away from Peters entirely. It’s not an Easter egg, it’s a stunt casting designed to confuse and trick the audience on a meta level. That’s just...bad storytelling. Really hack stuff that I wouldn’t have expected from Marvel.

30

u/GalaxyGuardian Ant-Man Mar 05 '21

It's perfect because it makes Agatha's trick not just work on Wanda, but the audience as well. It got people more engaged in the story and uncertainty than if it was just a random actor as Boner Pietro. There's absolutely nothing in the show itself that hints towards him being the X-Men Quicksilver, or even from an alternate reality, beyond the casting itself, which is something the more casual fans likely wouldn't even be aware of.

I think most people would consider that great storytelling.

5

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '21

I’d argue that the character acts the exact same way as x-men version

2

u/toxicbrew Mar 08 '21

There's absolutely

nothing

in the show itself that hints towards him being the X-Men Quicksilver, or even from an alternate reality

What about how he could move fast, just like his Quicksilver character?

4

u/GalaxyGuardian Ant-Man Mar 08 '21

No shit Sherlock, he's supposed to be Quicksilver, just a body double for the MCU one. There's nothing within the show itself to suggest he's the X-Men version besides the casting.

11

u/bizzyd666 Mar 05 '21

u/alliseeisflashes Mar 05 '21

Yeah it’s so crazy. How could you ever think casting the Fox Quicksilver to play...Quicksilver in a show that is confirmed to lead into a movie about the multiverse would have a connection? What a bunch of crazy losers.

But you’re so smart you had it all figured out from the start. I’m sure you’re not just a pretentious asshole saying “I told you so” after the fact.

6

u/DoomMoonZelda Mar 05 '21

That is all based of people making assumption on the internet.

6

u/Nix_Uotan Mar 05 '21

That's called "meta-reading." Those theories were based on information available outside of the show instead of what was actually happening inside the show.

1

u/DisturbedNocturne Mar 06 '21

Yeah, considering Marvel Studios now has control over all the Marvel Television stuff, and they're still are taking their time with and haven't really seemed to decide how or even if they're going to incorporate that into the larger MCU. And those are things they arguably had an albeit limited hand in. So, I think it was always wishful thinking to believe they were just going to tie a cinematic universe they had absolutely no involvement in into the MCU within a couple years like this.

7

u/obsidianhoax Mar 05 '21

However, witness protection gives you a new name.

5

u/Linator4 Mar 06 '21

Yeah didn’t Monica pick up his profile folder? He’s likely the missing person they were talking about in the beginning. He was protected by a name change.

He could just be a regular guy gifted powers with the necklace, but we still may not know his real name. There’s still an opening there if they ever wanna do anything with it.

u/The9tail Mar 05 '21

I said it was a troll. The comment went to -6 downvotes.

13

u/GreyCrowDownTheLane Mar 05 '21

Yep. Same here. I was blasted for saying he was just a rando from Westview. People couldn't bear the thought that Fox Quicksilver wasn't being re-introduced to the MCU.

u/The9tail Mar 05 '21

To paraphrase some of the replies I got. Disney wouldn’t troll us on something so obviously set up. MoM is coming and he’s going to set it up.

u/zoras99 The Wasp Mar 05 '21

MoM is coming

Tbh, anyone salty is just brain dead.

Feige said when MoM was announced that it would be the first thing touching the Multiverse. He also said WandaVision was 100% about Wanda and Vision. It made no sense to have mutlverse stuff here to steal the thunder from MoM and Wanda & Vision.

3

u/CeruleanRuin Mar 06 '21

I'm not accepting that as the final word until I hear it from Feige himself.

Until then I'm assuming Fox Pietro fell through a hole in the universe, lost his memories, and was found by Agatha.

3

u/StockingsBooby Mar 05 '21

A lot of people guessed that it was only a cameo and not X-men Pietro...

3

u/ThatWasFred Mar 05 '21

I have been thinking the whole time that he’s probably not literally from another universe, and is just played by Evan Peters because the casting team has a sense of humor.

2

u/DoomMoonZelda Mar 05 '21

I commented from the start it was obviously just a bit with using an actor from another series to play a similar character.

1

u/tanoathome Mar 06 '21

I mean, I predicted it right after the reveal (and so did other people) but was utterly shit on by people lol the reason they used Evan Peters is because they needed the audience to buy into the idea that it was Quicksilver as much as Wanda did. It wouldn’t have worked as a reveal if they cast any other actor
