Like what? They can’t cram everything into a 9 episode series. Thought they played the hand perfectly post endgame. Revealed enough where they are going (F4?) and the true Scarlet Witch and left the bigger stuff for down the road. Don’t see how they could have done better in all honesty.
Woke up too early this morning and watched the finale. Usually don’t watch it till later on Friday nights and came here for 2-3 pages of breakdowns and explanations.
I’m torn between being disappointed that Fietro not being Quick Silver From Another Universe and in awe of the level of troll that was running this show who went “you know what will REALLY make the internet explode?”
I guess they can come back but I took them to not exist once the hex was gone. I know we heard them in post credit scene so maybe they are trapped somewhere or they are in her head.
really well-done show. what a character they’ve built going forward. only disappointment would be that it wasn’t a lead-in to some massive new storyline. in hindsight those expectations were unrealistic.
People running wild with theories always hurt finales. It was an awesome show, can't wait for more MCU stuff.
yeah people running wild with theories and both bettany and olsen hinting at something "huge" are going to lead to some people being disappointed with how it ended. i don't know why she said this (it was the quicksilver cameo?) as that just led to unreasonable expectations. bettany saying he was so excited to work with an actor he always longed to work with (only for it to be himself) was great. but again, it may have backfired
In hindsight, it was really late, and I was probably a little unfair. I wanted to see the appearance of the new “Bi Bad,” but, hindsight, we did. They established she is more powerful than Strange, and the last scene is her learning from the Darkhold, which, if you watched AoS or read comics, is never, ever a good thing. Book is pretty much alive, and is straight up evil. They’ve shown how much she cares about her children, and clearly established she has mental health issues from all her loss BEFORE she show. Combine all those things and you have maybe the most sympathetic Big Bad ever when DS2 is her going into the multiverse to try to find a world where her kids are alive and Strange trying to stop her.
Eh it was ok. I think if it wouldn't have been hyped up as much I would have liked it more. I am probably holding it to unfair expectations.
Ya the theories and expectations hurts the reactions, because you don’t get what you think should have happened but that finale was fantastic for what that season was. We got the little avengers battle, a true scarlet witch and her badass costume and now she’s gonna be real dangerous going forward. she learns quickly and Agatha was plenty for a tv villain, when in the end she could come back and help. it’s the best marvel piece yet. And I’ve been a Stan about CA:WS being the best written forever
I think Mephisto still plays all into this and will refer back and the signs will have been there in this one.
Doesn't really seem like a MCU play. I think the closest we'll get to "kill a friend to save everyone else was SWitch/Vis in IW. MCU seems more the "noble sacrifice" thing. I could see her vanishing into the multiverse to save everyone but not DS killing her off
SW could be a "big bad" in a secondary way, but not the ultimate one. Didn't know or mean to do what she is doing but we'll see. I'm still hype over that costume
the 2nd post credit scene plays into that when she hears her kids while reading the Darkhold obviously
DS2 is gonna start out with SW trying to find her kids and fucking shit up and DS has to come in and fix it that wont make her the “big bad”
Like its probably Mephisto trying to lure SW to him using the boys voices since they are techinically his boys too
Soooo... White Vision just flies away? I'm assuming at some point he just "becomes" Vision again I didn't really get the multiple Wanda's at the end. Is she somehow splitting herself and the Scarlet Witch version is just non-stop studying the Darkhold?
I liked how the magical outline of the Scarlet Witch crown mirrors the blue crown the head of the coven had.
I'm fine with no major cameos. They weren't introducing X-Men or F4 in a Disney+ series, but they laid the groundwork for things like that. I did think the episode kind of stunk, though. The Hayward thing went from 0-60 for me, and how is he the only person to face consequences for anything, again? Darcy and Monica basically had no role. White Vision gets his memories and then just leaves. Monica telling Wanda that the people of the town don't understand what she sacrificed for them was really weird and kind of messed up to me. And then Wanda just walks/flies away like nothing happened.
I can't put into words how much I loved the way Vision and White Vision resolved their dispute, not with continued fighting to the death but with a philosophical question of each other's existence. The smile on my face...
It's pretty incredible that a show that started out in black and white riffing off I Love Lucy and Bewitched would end with an absolutely banger comic book fight between two witches.
Dark eyeliner and lipstick+big hair and muted colors Oh baby, that's a villain alright. Not saying she'll stay that way, but we're going to get at least a little Dr. Strange vs Scarlet Witch.
I’m glad they didn’t try to cram too much into this. They’re already laying the groundwork for DS2, CM2, and likely Secret Invasion too. Anyone expecting Reed Richards, Xavier, and Mephisto were just getting way too big nerd boners. That being said, it was weird that they showed how much emotional and psychological damage Wanda inflicted on the town, and at the end they just scowl at her? Weird creative choice.
