Yeah after that movie and Endgame I was worried it would never get to those heights again but WandaVision is proving me wrong. This was one of the shows I was least sure about and I am so excited for every episode.

I don't think they will be able to replicate or get to the masterpiece they had with the Infinity Saga because that was never even thought to be possible. BUT that doesn't mean going forward their next story line or story lines won't be fantastic. I am not going into their next phase(s) post Endgame hoping it will be the same, so if they somehow, some way, get anywhere close to their first few phases...DAMN!
In regards to the MCU moving forward and how Feige and co. can keep things rolling, there is one major component. The villain.
Thanos absolutely made the Infinity Saga work the way it did. Obviously Downey Jr. as Iron Man and the rest of crew were critical as well, but the true secret to most movies or series working is the antagonist. Thanos was shrouded in mystery the whole time, and the lead up was tantalizing for us all. Then when we finally got him it was even better because you actually felt a little for him and understood/borderline sympathized with his reasoning. That is the key.
Get another big villain right and the MCU will be just fine.

Its pretty amazing how this show makes you see the films in a different way. I watched Infinity War the other day and the scenes with Wanda and Vision hit much differently, especially the end when Wanda "killed" vision. I just wasn't near as invested in those characters the first time I saw those films.
Totally agree. Rewatching the previous movies from Wanda’s POV was kinda shocking. Her life had been absolutely awful until she met Vision.
Probably gonna rewatch WandaVision tonight to pick up on the Agnes stuff I might’ve missed
Glad I’m not alone on this, watching Infinity War was sad before, but the scene Wanda sacrificing Vision is just brutal to watch now.
That's one catchy jingle.
Now the question is how deep does it go? Have we met the TRUE VILLAIN yet? With what's going on in Agnes' house and that Wandavission is a setup for "Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness" we have to be getting Dr. Strange in the next 2 episodes to sort this out.
PS, where did the kids go?

I’m seeing WandaVision Episode 8 promos on YouTube that tease both
Does anyone know if these are real, or are merely those annoying, sucky fan-made “trailers”?
Reed Richards and Doctor Strange.

I've had to google a bunch of stuff to get caught up with some of the characters and theories brought up in WandaVision. I'm not up on all of the comic canon. In terms of the theories
I wonder what percentage of the viewers are familiar with some of the villains tied to these theories.
I'm also curious to find out how much Wanda factors into the rest of phase 4, if at all. To my knowledge, Elizabeth Olsen isn't contracted for any additional movies.
Mephisto or Nightmare seem to leading the pack in terms of who is ultimately pulling the strings. I honestly don't know much on either, but it seems like Mephisto would be a solid villain for the next phase, given that he disrupts a lot of things and has interacted with several heroes over the years.

Not familiar with Nightmare but after searching him that would work. I think either him or Mephisto makes sense.
Wanda Vision is supposed to directly tie into Dr. Strange.
Somebody switching back and forth on the good guy/bad guy line like Loki takes things up another level as well.
I heard that it was supposed to tie in, but I wasn't sure how much more there was in store for her character. I couldn't find anything more, but since I first remember her from X-Men....
Exclusive: Big Hero 6 Characters Coming To The MCU
We have exclusively learned that certain characters from Big Hero 6 will be making their live-action debut in the MCU.
thedisinsider.com
New report out saying both Hiro and Baymax of Big Hero 6 will be joining the MCU. Interesting for sure to me, especially because Big Hero 6 is both one of my all-time favorite comic-book movies and is also I believe one of the most underrated comic book movies out there. However, I've never followed them in the comics, and I know the movie and comic book version of the characters are fairly different. Therefore, I don't really know what to think, but I'm intrigued, especially if they are anything remotely like what we got in the Disney movie.

I loved Big Hero 6, but that seems like an odd choice for a live-action movie. The cartoon-like appearance of Baymax adds to his appeal. Translating that to CGI seems like a pretty big risk.
