“WandaVision” Articles

I now understand why the fantasy world imagined by Stan Lee offered a more compelling mythological lens than the world imagined by Tolkien did.

Here’s what everyone was reading at Christ and Pop Culture in 2021.

Agatha asked Wanda, “Do you think maybe this is what you deserve?” That’s the question that poisons all our hearts.

Agatha takes Wanda to therapy, and the show essentially takes its viewers to therapy, as well.

Wanda is no longer the picket fence housewife performing community magic shows. No. She’s the pajama-clad matriarch who knows her life is a mess.

Pietro doesn’t mind if he leads Wanda back to the moral question of Westview, so long as she never acts on it. 

If Wanda really is in control, then that means she’s more powerful than we’ve ever realized.

What is the thematic consistency that binds together all the stories of the MCU?

This week’s WandaVision takes us back to MCU’s most iconic event: Back when Bruce Banner un-Blipped every Blipped being back to their bereaved baes.

Whatever is happening, the world as I tend to frame it is far too small; my conception of it, too limiting.

WandaVision is zany and funny and nostalgic, with occasional bursts of creepiness and dread.
