Special Episode 24: WandaVision

Wnada and Vision dressed up for their magic act

Like everyone else on Twitter, Elizabeth and Flourish just finished watching WandaVision, and they’re here to bring you some piping hot takes. They discuss the things they loved and the things they...did not love, including the show’s engagement with sitcoms, its treatment of grief, and its connections with and limitations imposed by the larger Marvel universe. They also revel in a few of the show’s true delights, like Paul Bettany’s bodysuit, and some truly exquisite stunt casting.

[00:08:52] The internet is also confused about how to say “Kevin Feige,” with Google giving a different response than /r/marvelstudios. We’re going with the Redditors: “Fye-gee,” with a hard G.

As for Feige’s comments about how “you’ll need Disney+,” the Bloomberg interview in which he talked about this stuff is *ironically* behind a paywall, but the key quote is: “If you want to understand everything in future Marvel movies, [Feige] says, you’ll probably need a Disney+ subscription, because events from the new shows will factor into forthcoming films such as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Scarlet Witch will be a key character in that movie, and Feige points out that the Loki series will tie in, too.”

[00:12:40] Flourish meant 1602, not 1632.
