«WandaVision»: 8. Release your trauma

If you ask me what I think about the episode but briefly and without the details... It may seem strange but I will just quote the dialogue from Sponge Bob:

— SpongeBob, what are you doing? — I'm crying my eyes out.

I guess that's the number of tears I've shed all season (God, what's going to happen on the last episode?) you can moisten some part of the Sahara, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. In the modern russian language, you can find the expression "eat glass", as well as its variety. I don't know, if there is such a thing in english with the same emotional coloring, but in any case, now you know what russians can say, discussing something absolutely heartbreaking and at the same time so beautiful, so it is difficult to stop — you can only just watch, if it's a movie or the tv-series, and cry. A somewhat complex explanation, in practice, it is difficult to convey the language shades when you use them intuitively.

Ah, Agatha. Let's talk about her first.

Think about it! She lived for herself, studied, tried, drank power from others (I understood her flashback this way), poked her nose where she was not asked to, and then she sensed a huge power. The nugget. A young woman, who has never learned magic, but uses it! What a slap in the face! No wonder she has a crush on Wanda, or whoever's running her has a crush on Wanda. And Agatha makes Wanda not just a Scarlet Witch, she forges a real villain. Re traumatization is not psychotherapy, you know, it is a way to bring a person to a certain point. The very journey of Wanda in her memory reminds me of Dickens, and also gave a lot of interesting things. Plus, added reasons to cry (for me and other empathic human beings).

Sooo..

I can say "I was right!", if we talk about Wanda and sitcoms. Mostly, I was. This is not just a sitcom, it means more!

The fans' dream came true, even two: The Stone strengthened/activated Wanda's original powers. But! Wanda wasn't called a mutant. Wanda was called the Scarlet Witch (a friendly reminder: it is a mantle, technically, it can be passed to someone else, if, for example, Wanda dies).

The Mind Stone showed the beautiful vision. There's no need to even analyse it. You can just watch and admire. Wanda, without realizing, also made a reference to it, changing into a Scarlet Witch costume for Halloween.

Thank you, now we know why Vision doesn't remember anything. *sobs*

I really, really miss our Vision, alive and healthy. The main part of the MCU ended for me with his passing, no character in MCU/or Marvel can activate the range of feelings and interest that I have for Vision.

His conversation with Wanda in the flashback... It was so touching! How much do we know. what lies between AoU and CW or between CW and IW? We fill the blanks with fanfiction, but we are left with a feeling of emptiness, because the canon does not give us any information, focusing on other things. We love a small gift, this little piece of the event mosaic between AoU and CW. Vision is very "young" here, Avengers just finished with Ultron, and it seems that they have not yet moved to the Base, or have just moved here. Vision learns to live with his "family" and his experience is mostly theoretical, but he already has philosophical conclusions. His combination of "youth" and wisdom delighted me at AoU and delighted me here. I even stopped crying for a moment, thinking about what he said. That was gold! God, what a journey from AoU to IW...

The lab scenes are exhausting. In terms of emotions they are heavy. I was morally destroyed, first, when Wanda walked into the lab and saw all this, and then, when Wanda said that line, the reference to IW.

And then I was completely crushed when I saw Vision's markings on the map/property form. And coming there was a point of no return for Wanda. Absolutely heartbreaking. Elizabeth won that, she have be proud of herself.

However.

I still want to know how Hayward pushed the idea and got the rights to the Vision's body, I have a feeling, it could be left unanswered. The question is important. Vision died in Wakanda, his team was bearby, alive. Where did they send the body? Why didn't they make sure that no one touched it, if, for some reason, they didn't try to restore it? Or Tony tried, failed, abandoned the idea, and left the body in a storage room somewhere? Seriously, what the hell?

I give Hayward credit, of course. I don't think he's from HYDRA or anything, he's just a paranoid asshole with his own plans, and he lied about having his body stolen to make Wanda a villain for everyone. He hates super powered individuals. Besides, he clearly wanted Wanda to do the hard work for him. He knew she could? The question is, does someone control Hayward?

I can see how we can get Vision back again as soon as the two Visions are sorted out — we take the blueprints and stuff from Hayward, we take Shuri and her Vision research, we take Helen Cho, we lock them all up in Wakanda, and we wait for the result, the acceptable result. Yes, this is the idea for fix-it.

I am looking at the comics: Vision has died more than once and he could be restored, although once he was dead for a very, very long time. Will Vision return to MCU? It's hard for me to accept — we'll see him for the last time next week. On the other hand, if Vision remains dead, then this violence against him from Marvel will stop. I am fed up with comics and drama, I want a happy ending or something, yes, I wanna see more of Wanda/Vision as a couple. Just fuck Marvel if they are planning to ship Wanda with Voodoo in DS2!

Also, White Vision is a strange and frightening, despite the fact I saw a shot with White Vision before episode's release. Maybe, I remember who he is, I'm familiar with comics here quite well, but his difference from Vision is already striking. And I'm not even talking about the colour. Hayward has got someone, who will kill easily, and nothing will change in his face. No wonder Heyward wants to send White Vision against Wanda. Actually, White Vision should have his own story arc, but honestly, I don't want to. I've had enough of comics. The only thing, whose voice will White Vision use to speak? Did Hayward wake Ultron up there by any chance?

Well, series makes ends meet, gradually pulls what is happening to the final, but it is too early to relax.

p. s. Paul Bettany is a notable troll, if speaking about a certain actor, he meant himself all this time. p. s. s. Paul Bettany may say again he doesn't believe in chemistry between actors, but I will disagree with him again. He and Olsen are igniting and beautiful.
