Not only is Wanda supposedly more powerful than the Sorcerer Supreme, but the show ends on an ominous shot of her astral projection studying the Darkhold in a cabin in the middle of nowhere (major end of The Incredible Hulk vibes) as her (dead?) twins call out for help. First, there were Agatha's repeated warnings about Wanda being destined to destroy the world. The Marvel of it All: WandaVision, for the most part, has done a good job of staying focused on its story and not teasing future MCU movies and TV shows. From there, Vision and what remains of the Hex disintegrates, and Wanda heads off to not only master her newfound Scarlet Witch powers, but also hopefully deal with her grief. I know the internet had a field day with Vision's grief line last week, but this line hit me just as hard because I thought it was such a beautiful encapsulation of Vision's journey so far, existential and optimistic in equal measure. Who knows what I might be next?" says Vision before they depart. But then, Schaeffer tops herself with Wanda and Vision's tender and intimate farewell. "Boys, thank you for choosing me to be your mom." We know this isn't the first time she's had to say goodbye to her family, so that exchange is truly heart-wrenching. We could never truly leave each other if we tried," she tells Billy and Tommy, both of whom are tucked into their beds. Thankfully, Olsen fully commits and makes you feel how much Wanda is straining.)Īs the walls of her beautiful dark twisted television fantasy dissipates, Wanda, Vision, and the twins retire to their home for their goodbyes. ![]() I don't know about you, but I would've felt silly doing that. Obviously, the red energy field that surrounds Wanda was added in post, which means Elizabeth Olsen had to stand there and cry and grunt with nothing happening around her while shooting. (ASIDE: Honestly, MCU actors don't earn enough credit for scenes like this one. ![]() Eventually, Sharon asks Wanda to just let them die, but instead, Wanda opens the Hex long enough to hopefully let them escape. Wanda insists that she's been keeping the people of Westview safe, but it's clear that's not completely the case. A lot of the time, those who are grieving sort of get lost in their pain - because grief is a powerful force - and don't realize how it negatively alters their everyday demeanor and affects those closest to them. That moment really resonated with me because it's true, at least from my experience. "Your grief is poisoning us!" Debra Jo Rupp's Sharon says. As that happens, they begin to converge and overwhelm Wanda, forcing her to confront the ways in which her actions have hurt them all. Once the battle reaches the town square, Agatha, who wants Wanda's powers, distracts the nascent Scarlet Witch by waking the townspeople up. For all the many colorful balls of powers whizzing through the sky, the action still felt relatively grounded and proportionate for what the show has been up to this point. The thing I did enjoy about the action sequences, though, is how they struck a nice balance between Marvel Cinematic Universe-level quality but still feeling like a TV show, if that makes sense. It's a lot, and it looks like Disney+ didn't skimp on the special effects. ![]() reanimated, and Vision is the version of the character Wanda created in the Hex and we've spent time with this season.) From there, the four characters start flying around Westview as more balls of energy and head-blasts fly across the screen. (Note: In this recap, White Vision is the version of Vision S.W.O.R.D. Eventually, the two witches start exchanging magical energy balls, and the White Vision we saw at the end of "Previously On" joins the fray intent on killing both Wanda and Vision. "The Series Finale" picks up where we left off last week with a stand-off between Wanda and Agatha, who is still holding the twins by magical leash.
