I saw the run times may vary as they go along, but right now it's pretty easy to zip through four 30-minute episodes on a lazy weekend during quarantine.

It's odd being able to get a rough opinion of the show without stumbling across spoilers so far. I imagine that will change over the next few weeks, though.
There’s like 6 minutes of credits too at the end, so even less timing time

Yeah, once you subtract out credits they are all probably pushing closer to 20 minutes than 30 minutes long. Honestly, pretty similar to your typical network sitcom length, and I'm sure that is intentional.
 
I don't think WandaVision is a slow burn, it's just slow and uninteresting. To me, a slow burn develops the characters and the plot just grows and grows and grows and characters evolve and devolve a little at a time. I'm thinking like Breaking Bad.

I hope episode 4 brings me into the story more.

Best episode of the season so far, bar none. I love the incorporation of some of the minor characters from previous movies.

Many people need to practice this (myself included at times)...PATIENCE! Episode 4 definitely started ramping up the game. They obviously had a plan and thought it would work. These episodes are so short it takes almost no time to get through them, so just stick it out if you are Marvel fan.

Just saw the latest and its safe to say a lot of the curtain finally gets pulled back as to what is going on. Will be interested to see if any of the skeptics so far change their opinion at all, so please chime in if you were previously critical of the show to give your thoughts. I'd really like to hear them either way.
 
Ok, you guys have me optimistic to watch this tonight despite my criticisms to date.
Don't go in with too high of expectations though. This isn't going to be like turning on Endgame or something like that. It just get's a lot more clarity.

In people's defense... I'm here to be entertained, not to have my patience tested.

First of all, not sure if I have ever said thank you for this thread. Love how passionate you are about the MCU, and it's fun to see what other's thoughts are on it.

I have enjoyed the season of WandaVision so far even before Episode 4 because I love a good cat and mouse/breadcrumbs type of show. But Episode 4 really started to make it feel like the MCU that we know. Excited to see everything explained as we go along.

Thanks a bunch. Appreciate the kind words. I try to keep it rolling and as much of a positive community as I can. Glad you are enjoying the series. For the most part, I'm enjoying the series as well, even if it isn't my favorite MCU installment. More so than anything, I'm appreciating Marvel Studios having the bravery to try something new and applaud them for that. No doubt it will hit with some and not as much with some others, and that is ok. Nobody should feel bad about not liking it at all. You all have the right to your opinion as it is all subjective anyway. In the meantime, I've been super curious as to how the two sides of the fence (liking/not liking) shake out as this thing progresses.

On a side note, cheers from me to bringing back FBI Agent Woo. I know his character didn't exactly hit with a lot of people in Ant-Man and the Wasp. It seems many people found him to be a little too over-the-top corny. I just wasn't one of them and found him hilarious and loved his character. I love Randall Park as an actor in genreal. Him in Always Be My Maybe is one of the better chick flicks of the last 10 years.

Can't you have both? I've been more than entertained with it. And my point is if you can't see that they obviously have some sort of plan to give it a little patience I don't know what to tell you. It's not like these are hour plus long episodes. Just my opinion though.
