Something odd about this WANDAVISION Honest Trailer: did they dislike it, or like it? They obviously didn’t love it, but some of the punches seemed like they had been pulled, a little. Like they were trying to make it look like they were being rough on the flick, while letting the show down easy.
Or maybe not. I might be imagining it. Heavy spoilers in the video, by the way.
I enjoyed it. Quite a lot, actually. Avengers: Age of Ultron gets sneered at, quite a bit – a bit too much, in my opinion – but it set up this series nicely. WandaVision actually mined quite a few of the mid- and bottom- tier MCU flicks for characters and concepts, usually to the show’s benefit. There was some good dialogue written for this show. Also: there was one particular scene that made me almost yell “BEEP BEEP, MOTHERF*CKER” at the screen, so there’s that, too.
Bottom line is: I didn’t waste my time watching WandaVision. I had a good time. Just bear in mind that I watched all the movies. I don’t know how comprehensible it was to people who didn’t, although my wife’s liking the show, too.
Finally sat down and watched both of the first episodes. I think that dropping the first two and then making people wait is smart: it establishes nicely that there’s something seriously weird about WandaVision. Mind you, I assumed that right from the start.
Also, an interesting note: I had it up on my computer with my earbuds in so as not to disturb everybody else. My wife watched a little, over my shoulder, and observed later that when you can’t hear anything the camera work is a lot more evocative of a horror show. Which I’m pretty sure is what WandaVision is. …Cool.
WANDAVISION drops Jan 15th. About time – and I wonder if it has anything to do with the almost 74 million subscribers Disney+ apparently has now. If they’re looking to keep their content spread out, that would make sense, I guess?
I don’t mean that in a bad way, mind you. I’m down with a little messed up. Nothing like a bit of the horrorshow, what-what?
Dunno when WandaVision’s dropping, though. Presumably in the next few months or so.
ComingSoon noticed from the Disney+ video below that WANDAVISION is being bumped up a year, which is nice — but that’s not the big thing for me. Nooooo, the big thing?
THERE’S GOING TO BE A NEW PHINEAS AND FERB MOVIE. This is news to me. Awesome news.
Continue reading WANDAVISION, PHINEAS AND FERB Disney+ news.Is this really going to be a sitcom? Because WandaVision kind of looks like a sitcom. Heck, it looks like the cover art for an independent-press TTRPG about 1950s superheroes.
I’m not objecting, just bemused.
