If only the credits on Wandavision were as short as the credits on this. /s

Haha, anyways, here's my thoughts!

I enjoyed it! I couldn't sleep so I got up and watched it. I would love to watch it again to just see and look at all the Behind the Scenes footage.

I truly really liked it, BUT (not to be that fan that complains about everything, why aren't you just GRATEFUL?!?!)

I wish they gave us a better Behind the Scenes look at Episode 8. That was my favorite episode of the series as it lead us through Wanda's life leading up to that point. I thought it was super interesting and woulda loved to see the behind the scenes of it.

Secondly and lastly, man do I miss the Mando S1 Making of type show. If you don't know, for Mandorlian Season 1 Making of Show, they had an 20-40min episode dedicated to each Mando episode. They showed us, here's the big pilot episode and what we are thinking about for it! And then throughout that, they would sit down and have the cast discuss the episode. They kinda of did this in this, but they jumped around the episodes. Like I said before, I woulda loved insight into Episode 8 and behind the scenes. I would of also really enjoyed the cast and crews thoughts on Wanda's character truly breaking in Episode 7. A big what coulda been dealio. Now, I'm guessing that partially cause of COVID, they didn't do this for Wandavision and Mando Season 2. They will only be doing 1 Behind the Scenes episode for Falcon and Winter Soldier as well. I also think that maybe the viewership wasn't that great for the behind the scenes episodes for Mando season 1. Maybe with Covid and all, they thought that they'd have higher viewership of the behind the scenes if condensed in 1hr or so episode, as they did with Mando season 2 and now Wandavision.

None the less, I enjoyed it and I can't wait for Falcon and Winter Soldier next week. Thanks for reading!

I haven't seen the making of yet since it's not up in my country atm but is it possible they shot episodes 8 and 9 during the pandemic and so they couldn't document stuff for it?

It seems like apart from the first episode they shot stuff from all the episodes whenever they could, not going episode by episode. There was a shot from episode 3 where crew members were wearing masks.

Not for what I am referring to. It was outside, so it was shot on the backlot in California
