There was a “Wells the Grey.” Obviously he’ll return as “Wells the White”

If it meant cutting a sizeable chunk of cash out of the show’s budget so he can get a bigger paycheck to stay, I’d be okay with that.

Harrison Orson Welles and Gandalf Welles were great cameos

In some cases, like this one, it’s a rights issue. Wanda Maximoff is technically an Avenger, but Scarlet Witch is an X-Man. So until the merger, only her character and not her “name” could be used.

But more than that, superhero names are like the costumes. Sometimes they can be brought about organically, sometimes they…

I mean Byrne basically shit all over everything he touched. Over in the iO9 comments for this episode there’s a whole thread about his crap. Like how he originally drew a page of Wanda, fresh off her divorce, giving Wonderman an unwanted blowjob and how he refused to redraw the page, leading to a really shitty edit…

Also, her first lines in the show were an apology to Wanda for not coming over sooner. “My mother-in-law was in town, so I wasn’t!” 

Yeah, the energy that formed him was yellow, like the Mind Stone and not red like her Chaos Magic.

I always thought the shift to White Vision in the comics, at John Byrne’s apparent insistence because he felt that Wanda was basically in love with a toaster, was so depressing, and soured many of my happier memories of the characters and their relationship

It’s not Enchantress, it’s Wanda seeing a vision of her future self, complete with her new costume teased in the promo poster.

Her love for Vision is so great that her fantasy husband still possessed his inherent kindness and nobility.

The show has gone to great lengths to make clear that Agatha is irredeemably evil.

I think part of what makes Wanda special is that she actually can create new beings instead of just constructs. The whole “power of creation” that they alluded to. So the twins are their own people and so is Vision. Even if he can’t survive outside the bubble (yet), the longer he goes on the more independent of Wanda…

Westview like everywhere else had just spent five years decimated by the Snap.

Credit to everybody involved in this for making that last line feel like a big reveal. I feel like people have had a lot of grand expectations for this series, when it was really only ever meant to be the treatment of Wanda’s character that she hadn’t gotten yet. It has a lot of trappings of a surrealist mystery show,…

I suppose he’s a conduit for Wanda’s power, so through him he can release people from her hex spell?

The Stark bomb that dropped on the Maximoff’s house was punishment for selling illegal DVD’s.

What I don’t get is if “our” Vision is just a copy created by Wanda, why can he remove her mind control (like he did with his coworker, temporarily, and Darcy permanently)?

When Wanda arrived in real Westview, it looked like there had been economic bad times, it looked rundown, everyone seemed dejected.

Because the magic Wanda used to recreate Vision was yellow, it read to me like she was using whatever part of the Mind Stone she absorbed to essentially recreate Vision’s... soul, for lack of a better word. My guess is Vision will be fully resurrected when she installs his “soul” into the new body? Who knows.

What a wonderful performance from Elizabeth Olsen in this episode - some portions, like the visions after the experiment performed on her, and her complete breakdown at her Westview home, had some of the evocative power of silent film in trusting the actor to get every agony and sense of awe across for us. I have…
