WandaVision premiered on Disney+ with its first two episodes on January 15, 2021, and will run for nine episodes until March 5. WandaVision is a TV mini-series by Marvel is based on the original Marvel comics about Wanda Maximoff (AKA Scarlet Witch) and Vision who are romantically intertwined. The show’s focus is on how Wanda and Vision can live a normal typical suburban lifestyle while having superpowers. Elizabeth Olson plays Wanda Maximoff while Paul Bettany plays Vision. 

The first episode “Don’t Touch That Dial” aired on January 22nd has a 7.9-star rating from viewers, but as the season progresses, the ratings get higher. The last aired episode was episode 4 “We Interrupt This Program” and has a viewer rating of 9.2. 

Marvel is notorious for releasing movies and series that mess up the timeline, meaning, the release dates of their movies don’t go in order. You can’t watch all Marvel movies depending on when they were released because it wouldn’t make sense. Every Marvel movie has a different time and you have to pay attention if it was pre-infinity war or pre-Thor Ragnarok, etc.

This being said, many viewers are confused about how WandaVision ties into the Marvel timeline considering Vision supposedly ‘died’ twice in ‘Marvel’s Infinity War”, so how did he come back to life for WandaVision? The question goes unanswered, but Wanda and Vision finally have the spotlight. 

The series is presented as a recognition of past sitcoms, with Wanda and Vision living in a reality that takes them through different decades of television cliches. A new episode of the show will air every Friday and only time will tell, or not tell, what is going on. As the show goes on, the more the audience finds out and pieces things together. Not everything is as it seems.
