I’ve watched the first 3 and honestly I’m barely hanging on. It’s not appointment tv by any means. So far it’s a combination of bewitched and the Brady bunch. I know it will get better and there’s a lot that they’re not telling us yet, but I struggled to sit through those first three. I want to like it, but they are really taking their time getting to the point.

I really thought that this whole thing was going to be happening while Wanda was destroying the mind stone right before thanos reverses time. Like they went into this alt universe in their minds while connected and a couple of seconds seemed like years. But it doesn’t look like that’s the case.

I get the impression some people are missing lots of the tiny little background details. Almost the kind of thing you have to go frame by frame for.

Like a certain Marvel character’s hat/helmet under the floorboards in one fleeting shot. Lots of things stuck all over the place like that. I admit, I actually watch a YouTube video to keep up on that stuff that I miss.

For sure. There are a ton of little details in there that call back to prior stuff if you're looking for it. Things like the card trick that Scott Lang taught Woo, or this:

Really enjoyed episode 4. I could watch a whole series of just Darcy and Agent Woo. He's got the magic trick down.

In the flash back, Wonda sees dead Vision. Do you all think that was just a memory or is Wonda or someone else pulling the strings?

Noticed this yesterday too. When they’re in Scotland, Wanda talks about just wanting time to be together.

The timeline is really interesting. Vision dies and then 10 minutes later she’s in New York fighting Thanos again. She goes to Stark’s funeral, talks with Barton, and then goes to Westview? Episode 4 is only 2 weeks post blip so she’s still mourning as this is really fresh

Three weeks post Blip, iirc. That’s how long it took Monica to show up at “work”.

And that security guard being rude to her when she did was just...weird.

Ok. Joining the party. Just binged (if you call it that) all 4 episodes. That is DEFINITELY the way to do that. No question. That is suck a mindf*ck at the beginning. I intentionally knew nothing about it so I could watch it without anything preconceived. I was starting to get almost mad by episode 3 because I wanted something more to explain wtf was going on. Those commercials are LOADED with breadcrumbs I will guarantee you. It’s so different but does turn into an agents of shield feel.

I have more questions but don’t want to drop spoilers

I just binged all 4 episodes today as well and I can see how people would be disinterested in episodes 1 and 2. However there were some good bread crumbs that I noticed that I thought would come back later and they sure did.

I’m so glad I watched episodes 1 through 4 together. It was that much easier to connect the dots rather than wait a week in between. Really looking forward to the rest of this series!
 
Did NOT see that coming!

Things are off to the races. Wanda's put down a line in the sand, and I can't see the SWORD director standing by. Things are going to escalate inside and outside the town now. Kind of hope Monica gets her rolling bunker.

I had heard that Peadro would be back but can't believe they are crossing over MCU and XMen movie universes. This is definitely a reverse House of M situation. "Let there BE mutants."

I'm also very interested in Monica's test results. Is she bulletproof now too?

RE your spoilers - absolutely wild.
 
So I'm interested to hear thoughts on Pietro. Wanda seemed surprised by the whole thing as if she didn't do it. So who did and is he real?
 
Ok this show is getting real good. Wonder if whatever happened to Monica is what gives her her powers

WandaVision is playing out even better than I imagined it could. The slow unraveling of the mystery and story has been fun in my opinion. Cant wait until next Friday already for Episode 6

This show is freaking awesome. Trying to unravel everything is fantastic.

I think Wanda absolutely is controlling everything still, including Pietro. Or at least enough to fool herself. The laugh tract returns for the first time all episode when Pietro shows up. The only other time the laugh track is present is when the illusion is believable.

And I don’t think this is the main MCU universe. We’re in a different one. One with X-men already
 
I’m a little confused on where you all think that Monica has powers now? Her 70s clothes are bulletproof because she walked in with bulletproof Kevlar but Wanda’s illusion turned the clothes into era-appropriate clothing, but still maintained their bulletproof properties. I don’t think she inherently becomes powerful from this, even though I think that’s what comic canon implies? I really like the actress who plays her, I think she’s got some staying power in the MCU if they go that route.
 
Also I will echo everyone else who saw this, I was blown away by the end of the episode. I expected a cameo but... I didn’t expect that one!
