My a bit out there guess is that the manipulators of Wanda are  Fenris twins (Von Strucker’s twin kids.) Maybe mad that their dad gave Wanda and Pietro powers and not them (or blame her and Vision for dad’s death?)

I know a lot of people online are going with Mephisto being the manipulator behind all the events but I’m still leaning more towards Hydra or AIM. All of the cute “maybe Mephisto” Easter eggs fans keep catching feel a little too obvious to me right now. 

Yes, totally agree. Wanda is the engine of the anomaly but there is another hand on the steering wheel. It’s not a totally original thought but Mephisto is prime suspect.

I’m still leaning more towards Ultron/Hydra/AIM/[insert evil superscience individual or organization here] rather than some supernatural agent, because whoever wanted Wanda to take over Westview wanted her to bring Vision’s body with her. They needed Vision specifically for their plans, not just her.

“You’re holding a whole town hostage!”

I think having these types of meet-ups feels completely normal in the MCU. I once ran into a high school friend in Greece when neither of us knew the other would be there. The world really is a small place and weirder things happen. Plus, how many people do you think there are that are experts on dealing with this…

That’s because the Mandalorian was played as separate from the main Star Wars saga, and then they tied it back into the main saga at the end. By contrast, WandaVision is entrenched in the main MCU storyline. Wanda and Vision have never not been part of the shared Avengers adventure. The Mandalorian complainers were…

It’s not exactly the same. These characters do have some reason to be there, and they’re on the same planet instead of the setting being a whole galaxy.

Luke kinda had to show up. We had a new Force user who is suspected to be very powerful at the same time Luke would be starting his new academy. They could have had Ezra Bridger but that still wouldn’t fit. Ahsoka could have training baby Yoda but Disney had spinoff plans.

That’s what made the Marvel Comics feel real, these people DID occasionally bump into one another on the streets of NYC, where most of the stories were centered. This is just an evolution of that idea in the MCUniverse.

I wasn’t one of those people, but I don’t think that’s an apples-to-apples comparison.

Star Wars haters are not normal people. Pay them no mind.

It is fun for crossovers - I think the criticism with Mando is that out of allll the Jedis out there and allll the potential heroes we could get in the gigantic vastness of space, we got...Luke Skywalker.  Again.  I loved it, but I get how we’ve kind of wringed every drop of story out of the Skywalker saga; they could…

I was a little frustrated with this episode because it mostly told us what we already knew from a different angle, and IDK how necessary that was.

Yeah, while I enjoyed the movie overall, I have been very surprised not to see more criticism from the usual quarters of the “body possession” aspect of Steve’s resurrection. If the sexes of the characters had all been reversed, we’d be onto at least the sixth io9 article about the rapiness of it.

Does her holding the lasso of truth give her the realization that they are raping the guy whoms body her boyfriends ghost is using?

uh, no, she had already given birth before Crisis, which was a subplot of why they left Earth for Argo in the lead up to Crisis.

My 13yo son was on the couch next to me and he was shaking when Luke arrived.
