Okay, so I've now watched the first eight episodes of WandaVision and I'm still not impressed.
Spoilers ahead:
When did Agatha Harkness become a "bad witch"? In the comics she has always been portrayed as a bit mysterious, as keeping things to herself, but never outright evil. She may always have her own agenda, but she's neither a murderess nor a torturer.
OK...the sit-com parodies were meant to establish part of Wanda's backstory...but four or five of them? Wouldn't two have served the purpose and gotten the story moving a bit more quickly?
Neither Wanda nor Pietro are shown to have powers as kids (unless what Wanda almost does to the Stark device that destroyed their home was meant to indicate that), and Wanda doesn't manifest anything until she contacts that Infinity Stone...so where do Pietro's powers come from?
Finally, if Hayward's concern about Vision is that he was a sentient weapon, how does making him less human make things any better? Or is it that Hayward doesn't want an android with human emotions and prefers one that is simply a machine he can order to do as he wishes? You've got two episodes left guys, it's time to start explaining your villain's motives and aims.
As I've said, if a movie or a book took this long to make sense, we'd stop reading or watching. The only reason I've stayed with this is because so many people keep telling me how wonderful it is and how it's going to end up a masterpiece.
I'm not convinced.
