It also seems we've reached the point in the MCU where more and more powerful characters will be introduced such as Spectrum(Monica), the Fantastic Four and eventually the X-Men, we've already got pretty powerful characters like Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel, so I don't feel she's too overpowered in comparison.

This is why I don't like some superheroes like Superman. I hate OP characters because it just takes away from everything else in the world. It's fine when the OP character is in their own world/story/book and dealing with people of equal strength, but when it's a shared universe it becomes problematic.

Also, I don't think having more OP characters is the solution. I don't mind if Wanda, Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel and Thor remain the strongest ones, but bringing in more and more will leave people like the Fantastic Four and X-Men as weaker (whenever they show up).

One of the reasons I love Spiderman, Fantastic Four and X-Men over the rest of the MARVEL comics is because they are much weaker than people like Thor or Dr. Strange. They basically have fewer and weaker powers, and that's why they have to be a team. Sure, X-Men has Phoenix and the rare omega level mutant (which they barely cover), but when Jean isn't the Phoenix she isn't that powerful and hence they work as a team on missions. Each member of the Fantastic Four has like one power.

Anyway, I agree with @Zip that they're ramping Wanda up as a major threat now because she is the "villain" right now. And she's probably being used to usher in the next phase of Marvel content. I feel like after the Hex, her powers may be drained or reduced so that she's not this powerful again.

I want the scientist to be Banner, who reverts into Edward Norton upon entering Westview, because why stop halfway with the meta-recasting gags?

I kinda hope he shows up. To be honest, I’m surprised they haven’t tried contacting any of the Avengers when clearly one of the members has gone rogue with a side of major mental instability. Her depression has forced her to over take a town, and seemingly acknowledges her doings because it’s her only way to bring back the ones she lost. Talk about an overly unnecessary way to grieve. Anyways, the writing and acting has been really well done so far. Episode 4 is fantastic. What an awesome tie-in.

Apparently there are no more Avengers, so it seems none of the super powered humans care about an entire town being destroyed by another super powered human. Although, I guess it's a developing situation that's being kept hush-hush.

God I needed more. I can’t wait for everything to unravel.

Quicksilver seems to still be the MCU version despite recasting. There's a part of me that thinks it's weird they draw attention to this when they didn't for other recastings (IE Banner, Rhodes) in the past.

This show keeps pulling me back and forth on how much in control Wanda is. While she seems mostly in control, I still feel there's more to it. The episode does hint that she was pushed into such disperse that it might have just happened by accident, but there are still pieces missing.

Also I'm not convinced Pietro is really the main MCU's Pietro. I think either he's someone in disguise or Peter from the X-Men universe who was given Pietro's memories.

I find it interesting that they gave the twins their powers in this one. Most likely Billy will have some control over the Hex too now, that he's gained similar powers to Wanda. I do wonder if they still have their age manipulation, seeing they're not quite where they need to be for young avengers. Though i love that their costumes match up with the comics more or less.

Agness was the biggest surprise, she seems to not directly be involved in this or a very good actor. Though her location was interesting almost as, if she was leading the Vision to the border of the Hex, though she might have just wanted to escape. That said her getting lost could indicate that she's not from this town.

Wasn't expecting Wanda to expand the Hex. I think this confirms what Monica said of it being limited by Wanda. The question is, how far it'll stretch out now. Kind of love how Wanda turned Sword into a circus, I just hope Darcy wasn't included in the act.

I still find this show really interesting and can't wait to see where it's going.

I've heard great things. Don't have Disney+ so I can't see it but I do hear
about reviews and things. Sounds like a great show everybody likes.

That commercial was 50 shades of messed up

I never thought I'd get a dose of David Lynch with my Marvel. Outstanding episode for an astonishing series.

I actually gasped at one point, was on edge with anxiety for the second half, and got physically uncomfortable with just how far it took the commercial break scene.

It was a decent episode. Kind of all over the place. The biggest let down was that they didn't explain a thing about Pietro - which was the big cliffhanger from last week. There was barely anything to explain what exactly he was. Although it is interesting how he said that he got shot, then heard Wanda call him, then he showed up. Could be entering the magical realm and pulling people's souls out of wherever they go in the MCU? I think that accent thing will be important. What if the Wanda we see now swapped with a Wanda from another reality after Pietro died? When did Wanda's accent change happen?

I liked the ad. I'm just wondering what it means. This was the first ad that seemed specific to Wanda herself regarding the magic.

I'm excited to see what Darcy turns into in the Hex. I'm hoping she becomes a recurring character herself. Speaking of recurring characters in the Hex, it's interesting that Agnes didn't do anything more when she was freed. If she is supposed to be someone important and/or powerful, you'd think she would escape and not let Vision put her back into the trance.

One thing I did notice is that the Hex won't keep vision alive outside of the Hex, but things like clothes from the Hex exist outside it. I wonder if that's just because Vision was made from the some power used to generate the Hex or if the Hex is not able to bring things back to life? Since Vision probably doesn't have a soul, you'd think the Hex could keep him alive outside but who knows.

I hope next week picks up and gives some answers about Pietro.

Hmmmmmmmm I think it gave a lot more answers than might have been apparent on first viewing

Will post some thoughts on very interesting snippets tomorrow.

I didn't get anything. I was hoping that they would at least mention the parents' names. I did like that it seems they have different memories of childhood and that Wanda was testing to see if he actually was the Pietro she knew. But if he is the X-Men's Quicksilver, why would she see him with bullet holes/dead?

Leak wise we should be good cause they only went up to Ep. 6.

Spoiler Show

The leaked Funko toys were of Halloween Billy and Tommy, with Billy's Funko having a glowing blue hand. The leaked scene was of Billy telling Wanda about Vision, and Pietro getting his ass kicked.

I really think Wanda's going to be the cause of Mutants in this MCU, a reverse House of M.

It was a bad reminder of how weird and unsettling some 90’s commercials actually were. This also is the first one that seems to not be fairly obvious what they are referencing.

Spoiler Show

I’ve seen a lot of theories, but mine is that it refers to Wanda being orphaned as a child and the receiving her magic. But she’s been unable to use her magic to prevent death and/or give herself a fulfilling life.

But I also like the idea of the shark representing an unseen predator feeding off her magic.

I think Billy feels something's off with Pietro, that's why he's so scared of him at the beginning.

Him telling them to “unleash hell, devil spawn” was sus considering their original comic incarnations are products of Mephisto.

How many more episodes are there?
