Only complaint is no Mephisto. Between the devil reference in ep1, and the “demon spawn” quote from Ralph, I thought for sure they would reveal him at some point. Hopefully they were just setting it up for the future, but I kind of doubt it.

They were parts of her past trauma. The stark toaster was the bomb in the flashback episode. I don’t remember the hydra ones but it was for her time in Strickers experiments. [Reply]

So I watched a dork video that said
Spoiler!
In the post credit scene where astral projection Wanda was reading the dark hold and heard the kids when it flashed to red there were 2 eyes. Could be Mephisto.
Also the book could be Mephistos. You know. Book of the damned and all.
Well, it went out with less of a "bang" than I expected, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the series. It seems to me they didn't want to integrate it TOO deeply into the movie plots, so they kept it more confined than I think we all thought it was going to be (in terms of other MCU characters and lead-ins to other stories). Still, I'm excited to see where they go with it.
If nothing else, the Scarlet Witch outfit is great. :-) [Reply]

I think this might be suffering from too high of expectations.
I’d rather them nail the emotional part of the series in a more contained box, than do more stuff and have the story components of it fall flat. And let’s be real here. They took a LOT of risks. Go back and rewatch it with the perspective of what they could have messed up. The list is long. And IMO they nailed it. They did enough IMO.
Remember Thanos wasn’t even trotted out until the first avengers movie. [Reply]

This is mainly due to COVID.
This was originally scheduled to air from September to Halloween Weekend 2020, with Dr. Strange 2 original scheduled for November 5th, 2020, so it would have been a seamless transition from the end of WV to Dr. Strange 2.
Now, Dr. Strange 2 isn't scheduled for release until March 2022, so WV will feel a bit disconnected to the main timeline until DS2 is released. [Reply]
I rewatched the finale last night around 8:30pm and was actually blown away. Not only did it look and feel as good as any Marvel finale not named Endgame, it was extremely emotional as well.
As great as Elizabeth Olsen was in this series, in which I fully expect her to dominate awards season this Fall, Paul Bettany's portrayal of Vision was so flawless and yet so human that for me that his performance was the key to making Wanda's grief and pain feel real. I've always enjoyed Bettany's work, from Firewall to Da Vinci Code to even Solo but I've never seen his range displayed as it was in WandaVision.
I think that Falcon & Winter Soldier will be more inline with what most Marvel fans would expect from a Marvel property but it's going to be tough to top WandaVision from an emotional standpoint, which is really what these comics and films are about: The trials and tribulations of what it means to be human, whether we're superheroes or not.

didn’t realize it until watching a nerd video on YouTube but the “Ralph” that Agatha was referring to the whole time was not her “husband”...it was Quicksilver aka Ralph Bohner who was living in her house.

Looking forward to seeing her in something amazing.
I've mentioned it somewhere in this thread, but check her out in Wind River. She stars alongside Jeremy Renner, and it's a great flick that flew under most radars. You won't be disappointed. [Reply]
