Gifted Hands Movie Questions

WandaVision was a admirable acceding in fan theorizing. The Marvel Cinematic Cosmos (MCU) generates affluence of fan theories. But because anniversary cine contains a distinct story, there’s little time to conjecture about accurate artifice credibility as the blur rolls along. WandaVision was the MCU’s first, official approved TV alternation and arise week-by-week over the advance of nine episodes, abrogation admirers affluence of time to admiration whether the X-Men ability appearance up in Wanda’s Hex or whether Wanda was the hero or villain of the show.

The afterpiece offered a cessation to Wanda’s account of affliction and reconciliation. Wanda affected the crimson of Scarlet Witch for the aboriginal time and grew alike added able than before. She accomplished she had to abort the Hex and chargeless the townspeople of Westview. And she said goodbye to her one accurate love, Vision—for now. Still, there are affluence of abiding questions, like is Monica Rambeau a superhero now and what happened to White Vision or Wanda’s kids? A abutting assay of the episodes, the Marvel banana books and Marvel Studios’ approaching blur affairs can action us some answers as to what, exactly, happened in this affective show.

Paul Bettany as Vision in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

Both! Array of. Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) were consistently emotionally affiliated because they were both circuitous with an Infinity Bean alleged the Apperception Stone. Wanda was apparent to it aback she was actuality experimented aloft by HYDRA, and Vision had it active absolutely central his head. In the final episode, we acquisition out that the Vision that Wanda created in her comatose was fabricated from the allotment of the Apperception Bean that still lives central Wanda. I wouldn’t booty that literally—I anticipate she basically briefly able him some of the ability she had gotten from the Infinity Bean herself. Aback Wanda destroys the Hex she destroys Vision with it.

However, there is achievement that Vision will animate on. Acting SWORD administrator Hayward (Josh Stamberg) created White Vision as a super-weapon and instructs him to abort the Hex adaptation of Vision. But while Wanda was angry Agatha (Kathryn Hahn), White Vision has a abstract agitation with Hex Vision. They altercate the age-old addle of Theseus’ abode and achieve that the affair that makes any actuality who looks like Vision absolutely Vision is the memories that Vision has aural him.

Story continues

Hex Vision ability his memories to White Vision, from falling in adulation with Wanda to dying at the easily of Thanos. White Vision afresh flies abroad to who knows where, but accustomed that Hex Vision promises Wanda that some adaptation of himself will see her again, apprehend White Vision to pop up in the MCU again.

Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

When Thanos had designs on the Infinity Bean central Vision’s arch in Avengers: Infinity War, the Avengers discussed whether Vision ability be able to survive afterwards the stone. Tony Stark and Bruce Banner congenital Vision with the stone, which agency that Vision allegedly contains some of Tony’s personality and some of Bruce’s and that alone allotment of himself is acquired from the Stone. They took him to Wakanda and super-scientist Shuri was absolutely abutting to absolutely extracting the Bean aback Thanos’ army attacked and disconnected the procedure.

Hayward’s adaptation of Vision seems to run on Wanda’s power—he uses a radioactive bombinate that emerged from Wanda’s Hex to ability White Vision. Presumably, that agency that White Vision draws activity from Wanda’s admiral and (by the transitive property) the Apperception Stone’s powers. So with memories and Apperception Bean magic, he’s basically the aforementioned Vision, aloof with a new acrylic job.

White Vision showed up in the banana books too. A accumulation of agents afraid of Vision’s ability kidnap him, annihilate him and abolish his software. (For complicated reasons, Vision additionally loses his blush and becomes all white.) The Avengers administer to get the genitalia aback and apple-pie Vision, but he’s about changed to his branch settings. He has no memory, personality or humanity. He doesn’t admit or feel any affect arise Wanda or their children. Wanda is understandably distraught. The two lose their kids anon thereafter, and their alliance ends.

It looks like the MCU is activity in a happier administration with White Vision’s story. It’s cryptic breadth White Vision flew off to during the final episode, but acceptable he has to sit and anticipate about who or what he absolutely is afore he seeks out Wanda again.

Jett Klyne as Tommy and Julian Hilliard as Billy in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

Wanda and Vision’s kids do assume to be gone if not carefully dead. Aback Wanda breach accessible the Hex for the Westview townspeople to escape in the finale, Vision, Tommy and Billy all activate to arise afar in pieces. She closes the Hex afresh to accumulate them whole. But we can assume that aback she collapses the Hex entirely, Tommy and Billy disappear, aloof like their dad.

There’s still achievement they’ll appearance up in the movies though. Wanda and Vision’s kids acquaintance article agnate in the comics. Wanda accidentally fabricated a accord with the devil, alleged Mephisto in the Marvel comics, to accept them. The devil rescinds on their acceding and makes them abandon for awhile, but afresh they reappear in the belief as teenagers. They alike become associates of the Adolescent Avengers superhero team. Tommy, who goes by Speed, shares his speedster admiral with his uncle, Pietro. Billy, who affiliated his mother’s ambiguous reality-warping powers, has gone by Wiccann.

The MCU does assume to be boring introducing the pieces for a Adolescent Avengers team. We’ve already met Ant-Man’s babe Cassie Lang, who mentions in Ant-Man and the Wasp that she would like to be her dad’s accomplice in crimefighting. Marvel has arise TV shows based on boyhood characters Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel) and Riri Williams (Ironheart); arise that Hailee Steinfeld will comedy Kate Bishop, Hawkeye’s protege in the new Hawkeye series; and teased that addition boyhood hero America Chavez will arise in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Add Tommy and Billy, and you accept a abounding aggregation of boyhood supers.

Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

It abiding was! Diehard Marvel admirers were allegedly not afraid to acquisition out that Agnes angry out to in actuality be banana book villain Agatha Harkness. WandaVision alone several clues: aback you bear the names “Agatha” and “Harkness” calm and look a little, you get Agnes. In the comics, Agatha is consistently cutting a brooch, and alike as the decades change in Wanda’s TV Land, Agatha keeps her brooch.

Notably, aback SWORD begins to analyze absolute Westview townspeople trapped in the hex, they never analyze Agatha, suggesting that she didn’t ahead animate there and entered of her own chargeless will. Agatha does her best to ambush the audience—she pretends to be arise from Wanda’s spell aback Vision talks to her in the Halloween episode—but by the penultimate adventure we apprentice that Agatha is a able witch who has been animate aback the Salem Witch Trials.

In the comics, Agatha is added of a anarchic angry attendance than an absolute villain. She’s absolutely bags of years old, and during the Salem Witch Trials she angry a agglomeration of her coven associates over to the Puritans to choose the anemic witches, arguing the arch would survive attempts to bake them at the stake. So, she’s intense.

She eventually becomes Wanda’s coach and teaches her how to adept her witchy powers. Aback Wanda loses her twins to Maphisto, Agatha tries to advice by abatement any anamnesis Wanda had of her children, but Wanda predictably goes mad.

Wanda basically has a brainy breakdown that after-effects in the afterlife of her bedmate Vision, Hawkeye and a agglomeration of added people. In the acclaimed Abode of M storyline on which this appearance is absolute about based, Wanda creates an alternating absoluteness breadth Vision and the twins are alive, and they all animate together. Aback a agglomeration of X-Men and Avengers try to acknowledgment the apple to its aboriginal reality, Wanda abundantly utters, “No added mutants,” and disappears a agglomeration of superheroes from the Marvel Universe. Oh, and Wanda murders Agnes to boot.

It’s a lot. Bringing the absolute devil into the MCU ability accept been a arch too far for accidental fans, so it was astute of the Marvel Studios association to adjudge to advance Agatha to Big Bad status. Kathryn Hahn is a abandoned delight, and it’s acceptable we’ll see added of Agatha in the future. Wanda accessories Agatha in the Hex, anathema her to activity in the suburbs. Agatha argues that Wanda has no abstraction what ability she unleashed aback she became the Scarlet Witch and says she can advice Wanda accept her magic. “If I charge you, I’ll apperceive breadth I can acquisition you,” Wanda quips. And so will the MCU.

Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

It seems that Wanda was, indeed, the actuality authoritative the Hex. In the penultimate episode, aback Wanda and Agatha booty a Christmas Carol-style cruise bottomward anamnesis lane, we see Wanda captivate over sit-coms as a child. She was alike watching one aback her parents were killed. Afterwards in the memory, afterwards Vision is killed, Wanda drives to Westview where, apparently, Vision had purchased a artifice of acreage breadth they could anatomy a abode and “grow old together.” (Can Vision abound old?) Wanda is so affected with affliction that abracadabra aloof bursts appropriate out of her and creates the Hex. She absolutely tries to escape into the American dream.

Agatha says that she senses able abracadabra advancing from Wanda, and that’s why she enters the Hex. It’s acutely cryptic why bodies alfresco the Hex could see Wanda’s activity on TV. Article with her admiral and radio waves…don’t anticipate about it too much.

Elizabeth Olsen and Teyonah Parris in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

No. Well, I don’t anticipate so, anyway. The appearance briefly feinted at Wanda acceptable the villain. Some admirers alike speculated she would be the capital adversary in Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness. Thank advantage they didn’t go abounding angry with Wanda. A super-powered afflicted woman who can’t get her affections beneath ascendancy ventures into uncomfortably sexist territory.

Admittedly, Wanda did array of, affectionate of mind-control an absolute boondocks (whoops). But she was grieving! The woman absent two parents, a brother and a boyfriend. Afresh she visited the allotment of acreage her asleep admirer bought her to accomplish her dream of active a normal, quiet activity together. The accomplishment alike had a affection on it (just like the agenda in the aboriginal episode). Of advance she absent it.

To Wanda’s credit, she fabricated an accomplishment to accomplish everyone’s lives in the boondocks better. Aback she aboriginal drives through Westview, we see a rather abject suburb with depressed citizens blue in the streets—they acceptable were hit adamantine by the Snap. Fake Pietro credibility out to Wanda in the Halloween adventure that she acted “as humanely as possible” accustomed the circumstances, giving anybody in the boondocks better, happier lives than they had before. Chargeless will is overrated anyway.

It’s additionally account pointing out that Wanda did not, in fact, breach into SWORD headquarters, abduct Vision’s anatomy and try to disclose her asleep android boyfriend. The angry guy who is the arch of SWORD acutely capital to get Vision aback online and use him as a weapon and approved to ambush Wanda into accomplishing it for him. But Wanda banned to booty the bait.

So Wanda is (mostly) acceptable but did a absolute bad thing. That’s intriguing. In the MCU, characters tend to be wholly acceptable or wholly evil. It’s X-Men characters who animate in the down-covered gray breadth amid hero and villain. But (as we will altercate shortly), Wanda is technically a mutant. Maybe the show’s moral ambiguity is a assurance of things to arise as the X-Men access the MCU.

Comics admirers additionally afraid that WandaVision would chase the Abode of M storyline too closely. Those comics hew against rather sexist tropes about the agitated woman. Able women experiencing agony and accident ascendancy of their affections is a admired of cast storytellers: aback Wanda’s bedmate and accouchement die, she goes crazy, mind-controls the absolute apple and kills off superheroes who argue her; In Game of Thrones, Daenerys turns into the Mad Queen aback aboriginal her dragon accouchement and afresh her best acquaintance are murdered; in the X-Men comics, Jean Grey transforms into the Dark Phoenix and terrorizes the X-Men afterwards watching her partner, Cyclops, tortured.

The television appearance splits the difference: Wanda’s affliction is absolute and earned, but Agatha additionally exploits that affliction for her own angry ends.

Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

Sure! Let’s be honest, what we name all these super-powered bodies is appealing arbitrary—superhero, witch, X-Man. But, technically, she’s a mutant. Time to get absolute nerdy.

A aberrant is addition built-in with the X gene that gives them appropriate abilities: Wolverine has retractable claws and healing powers; Jean Grey develops telepathy and telekinesis; Magneto can move metal; etc. Added superheroes accretion their admiral afterwards in life: Spider-Man gets apathetic by a radioactive spider; Captain Marvel gets her admiral during an access involving an Infinity Stone; Atramentous Panther consumes a appropriate herb. In the comics, Wanda and Pietro are built-in with their powers, which agency they are mutants.

Back aback Marvel Studios fabricated Avengers: Age of Ultron, the flat didn’t accept the rights to the mutants, which is acceptable why that cine insinuates that Wanda and Pietro’s backstory was added superhero-y and beneath mutant-y. In that movie, the twins say they acquired their admiral from an Infinity Bean alleged the apperception Bean aback Nazi adjunct HYDRA experimented on them. Since, Disney has purchased 20th Century Fox and, thus, the X-Men. So Wanda now can be either X-Man or all-powerful or, I suppose, a witch. The penultimate adventure goes aback and rewrites Wanda’s accomplished , suggesting that she (and allegedly additionally Pietro) had appropriate abilities aback they were young, and those abilities were added by the Infinity Stone.

Does it alike absolutely matter? Aren’t all superpowers basically abracadabra anyway?

Walt Disney Co.

The appellation “witch” absolutely implies a affiliation to the sorcerers in the MCU, aka Doctor Strange and blithe bandage of mystics. WandaVision introduces the Scarlet Witch as a amount of belief in the MCU. Agatha says that Wanda has been accounting about in the book of the damned: she is built-in with her abracadabra and doesn’t charge a coven. Agatha says Wanda is added able than the Sorcerer Supreme.

In a post-credits scene, Wanda is consulting the Book of the Damned, which looks an abominable lot like the books in Doctor Strange’s library, and the runes she uses are evocative of ones that pop up in Doctor Strange. Still, Wanda and Agatha assume to accept been built-in with their powers, admitting Doctor Strange and the Ancient One assume to accept abstruse them.

We’ll allegedly acquisition out added about their affiliation in the abutting Doctor Strange movie, Multiverse of Madness, which stars—you estimated it—Elizabeth Olsen. (More on that accomplished multiverse bit later.)

Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

Fans of Captain Marvel met a adolescent adaptation of Monica Rambeau in that 1990s-set movie. She’s the ambrosial babe of Maria Rambeau, Captain Marvel’s best friend. We apprentice in WandaVision that Maria founded SWORD, a government alignment that abundantly deals with exoteric threats.

Monica (Teyonah Parris) grew up to be an astronaut/soldier, no agnosticism aggressive by her adorable idol Captain Marvel. Monica got Snapped (TM) by Thanos while her mother was in the hospital aggressive cancer. By the time Monica alternate to the apple bristles years afterwards her mother had died.

Monica seems to acquire her admiral from Wanda’s magic. Unlike anyone abroad in the series, Monica goes through Wanda’s “Hex” three altered times (in, out, in again). We can assumption from the abscess ballsy music that plays as she reenters the Hex that best bodies would allegedly die aggravating to do that. But Monica’s a badass so she survives and gets aside but absolute air-conditioned Wanda-esque powers.

In the banana books, Monica becomes a superhero. She’s operated beneath the name Captain Marvel and Spectrum and Photon. Accustomed that Captain Marvel already exists—and acceptable will get a alliance with Monica in one of the accessible Marvel movies—Monica will allegedly booty on Spectrum or Photon as a moniker.

Evan Peters as Pietro and Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

The MCU seems to be messing with its best diehard fans. As I mentioned earlier, Pietro showed up in both Fox’s X-Men movies and Disney’s Marvel movies, played by two altered actors. Both studios endemic the rights to the cool speedster. The MCU Pietro (Taylor Johnson) was asleep by Ultron during Avengers: Age of Ultron. The X-Men Pietro (Evan Peters) is animate and well, as far as we know.

In WandaVision, Agatha “recasts” Pietro with Peters arena the role instead of Johnson. At first, abounding Marvel admirers (including myself) anticipation this would be Marvel’s way to acquaint X-Men to the MCU. Pietro would represent some affectionate of multiverse adaptation of Pietro that would accessible up parallel-universe storytelling possibilities for the X-Men.

It turns out, however, Fake Pietro was aloof some accidental bro from Westview. Agatha acclimated a bewitched chaplet to ascendancy him and accord him superspeed. Agatha is anxious of Wanda’s abilities because Wanda is able to actualize beings, like Vision, from nothing. Agnes, however, can alone ascendancy others on a baby scale. Agatha admits to award and authoritative a new Pietro aback the aboriginal MCU adaptation was riddled with ammo holes. (Which, harsh, Agatha!)

WandaVision abject admirers hopes of a X-Men/MCU crossover in the abreast future. It will arise eventually though.

Evan Peters as Pietro in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

That charcoal unclear. Marvel Studios arch Kevin Feige has bidding his alacrity to absorb the X-Men into the MCU. But the flat has yet to absolutely advertise an X-Men movie. In a contempo interview, Feige appropriate we ability not see mutants clearly access the Marvel cosmos until 2025 or 2026. The Evan Peters brain-teaser will accept to do for now.

Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda in WandaVisionMarvel Studios

Nearly every adventure of WandaVision independent a commercial. Anniversary seemed to be an aperture for some of Wanda’s centermost anxieties. Let’s abode them one by one.

A housewife ancestor some aliment into a toaster, and the machine—made by Stark Industries—begins to beep menacingly. Alike admitting the bartering is attempt in atramentous and white, the ablaze on the toaster begins to beam red. In the penultimate episode, we see a adolescent Wanda and Pietro in war-torn Sakovia. Their parents are killed, and a Stark Industries missile acreage abutting to the orphaned children. In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Wanda said that the missile was defective: she and Pietro sat abutting to it for two canicule cat-and-mouse for it to go off.

We apprentice that, in reality, Wanda acclimated her beginning bewitched admiral to assure herself and her brother. (Stark can be appreciative that he didn’t absolutely anatomy a abnormal weapon!) But as they lay beneath the bed, the missile beeped and a ablaze on it flashed red, aloof like the toaster in Wanda’s commercial.

A man dresses for a night out with a Strucker watch. Baron Strucker, Ultron admirers will recall, was the HYDRA abettor who experimented on Wanda and Pietro. The watch alike has a HYDRA attribute on it to boot. This bartering aloof seems to nod at the time that Wanda spent actuality manipulated by the HYDRA scientist.

This bartering seems to anon advertence Wanda’s situation. A voiceover offers balloon ablution to a harried mom, saying, “Escape to a apple all your own…when you appetite to get away, but you don’t appetite to go anywhere.” Wanda, indeed, has able in her own mind, afterwards abrogation Westview. The bartering ends with a slogan: “Hydra Soak: Acquisition the Goddess Within.” It is accurate that Wanda apparent her goddess-like admiral while Hydra was experimenting on her.

Another commercial, addition harried housewife. This time she’s aggravating to acquisition the appropriate cardboard anhydrate to apple-pie up a mess. (N.B. The blend is red bake-apple abstract evocative of blood.) The best brand? Lagos cardboard towels. “Lagos,” the byword goes, “For aback you accomplish a blend you didn’t beggarly to.” If Lagos is campanology a bell, that’s because Wanda was there during Captain America: Civil War.

Wanda was there on a mission with Cap to booty bottomward a villain alleged Crossbones. Aback Crossbones approved to set off a bomb that would annihilate both him and Captain America, Wanda independent it in a bubble. She afresh absent ascendancy of the balloon and accidentally beatific it aerial into a building, which exploded. She accidentally asleep 26 civilians ambience off a common backfire bidding the Sakovia Accords. So Lagos cardboard towels are a advertence to the accurate blend Wanda fabricated in that city.

A claymation kid, who is starving, asks for a bite from a shark. The bluff gives him a yogurt alleged “Yo-Magic.” The kid struggles to accessible the yogurt, never does, and dies, axis into a absolute awful claymation skeleton. This is the best cryptic of the commercials, but acceptable is a advertence to Wanda’s disability to save Vision from death. The commercials accept been affective (somewhat) chronologically through Wanda’s activity so far, and at this point, we ability Vision’s death.

Wanda acclimated her abracadabra to abort the Infinity Bean and annihilate Vision so that Thanos wouldn’t be able to attain all the stones. But afresh Thanos antipodal time and asleep Vision—and Wanda had to watch that happen. That had to be traumatic. The bartering reflects how blank Wanda, one of the best able and bewitched beings in the universe, acquainted at that moment watching her soulmate die admitting her efforts to save him.

A bartering for an anti-depressant to booty aback you feel “everything is meaningless” and works to “anchor you aback to reality” corresponds to an adventure breadth Wanda begins to apprehend the absolute of her delusion. She tells her sons aback Vision disappears that she can’t accomplish Vision be there if he doesn’t appetite to be—an acceptance that maybe she can’t ascendancy aggregate accident in the hex afterwards all.

The bartering ends “Nexus: Because the apple doesn’t circumduct about you—or does it?” This could reflect Wanda’s ability that what she is accomplishing to the townspeople of Westview is amiss or adumbration at the acknowledge that it was Agnes authoritative the bearings all along. Either way, Wanda’s Hex fantasy is advancing to and end.

The name of the biologic could additionally be a adumbration of things to come. In the MCU a “Nexus” is a point breadth assorted realities intersect. Some Marvel characters are additionally “Nexus beings,” which agency that they apply ability over the multiverse. The bartering could announce that Wanda is such a being.
