It actually holds up better than you remember in the sense that it isn’t horrible. Somehow, it got made the worst the MCU had to offer. Whedon’s bitching about how he had to actually follow instructions here and there didn’t help, because that was when we gave a shit what Whedon thought.

YES, they had to shoehorn in…

“That makes two Visions.”

No I really don’t think so at all..

Two Bettany’s?

TWO Bettanys?!

My opinion is the moon landings. That was peak. There was a lot going on with society, and the world, at that times. Most of it progressive. (yes, yes, there were lot of bad things too, but events were mostly moving forward for most people)

It’s a side effect of failing upwards through connections to the inbred aristocracy. Every empire goes through this right before their collapse.

Part of the state’s power outages come down to the fact that its infrastructure was designed to withstand extreme heat, not cold.

Lauren Boebert is one of the countless republican elected officials who makes you stop and think, ‘wait, is she really that stupid, or is she just fuckin’ with us???’ Some of them are just disingenuous twats, but an increasing number (like her) are just deeply, breathtakingly stupid. I guess it’s a side effect of…

Oh, right, the “do you want to take that again” scene. That was so brutally uncomfortable (and perfect) that my brain scrubbed it.

I’m going to be super sad when Vision dies again.

One critical difference between the MCU and the Star Wars universe: the new SW trilogy had a “mystery box” that, we eventually learned, didn’t have anything inside it until they jammed a bunch of stuff in at the last minute. “WandaVision” is what it looks like when the mystery box is building towards a reveal that was…

I wish that Star Wars had this level of insight into its characters, and respect for the audience’s intelligence. I’ve slowly broken up with Star Wars over the years. From the banality of the prequels to the tonal missteps of the new trilogy, it’s been hard to enjoy Star Wars. The cartoons are fun, but mostly devoid…

Personally, the two small nagging things that stayed with me is were two moments during the show-within-a-show open in credits:
