So, Wandavision?

Agnes is not a name too far removed from Agatha. And Clea has "dots" on her leggings!

(I am aware that the connections are flimsy at best).

Happy Days was on TV in the 70s but it was set in the 50s, so would they really use that as a reference in this tour through the decades?

Perhaps, if you separate setting from overall style.

Honestly, given how much those circles are iconic to the character design of Clea, but also kinda dorky... I would not put it past them to be lampshading it.

One thing I noticed upon rewatching episode 1, is that Vision's boss and his wife seem to get stuck in a loop as soon as the boss chokes on his food. Then as soon as Vision saves his boss with his powers, they continue with the script of the episode as if nothing has happened. Throughout episode 1, their special powers are shown with the kind of special effects of a tvshow from that era (such as the jump cut when they get their rings). But when vision saves his boss, he reaches inside of him in a way we've seen him do in the MCU movies. The boss and his wife make no mention of it. This could be explained away by Vision being behind the dinner table when he does it. But I get a strong impression that both the boss and his wife are just part of the tvshow universe, and not real people. This would explain why they get caught in a loop when the episode goes off script, and ignore how Vision intervenes. Thoughts?

Yeah, I wondered about that too.

I'm also wondering if there's any significance to the symbols on Vision's tie.

I really like the show so far. There's a slow creeping horror behind the sitcom zaniness that's very effective. It's different, and that's cool.

Also love how much the episodes feel like those old shows, until those weird moments. Really well done.

Oh, and while we are playing this game, if every background character has to be somebody - folks have suggested Agatha Harkness and noted Monica Rambeau. It has been suggested that Dottie (played by Emma Caulfield Ford) is visually similar to Clea, a princess and occasional ruler of of the Dark Dimension, occasionally romantically linked with... Doctor Strange.

It is not clear to me why we'd have this combination of magically powered characters and SWORD - they don't usually mix in the comics so much.

I'm not clear on the SWORD combo either, but if Wanda is meant to be in the multiverse madness dr strange movie then that might explain the various magical characters. Is SWORD involved in interdimensional stuff or only space stuff in the comics? If interdimensional becomes part of their purview in the cinematic universe then that could explain it.

Maybe Wanda is already in the multiverse of madness!

If her powers are connected to the mind gem, maybe she created it. It's not a true multiverse, it's all in her head, and others have to go in and get her before her powers cause her madness to spill into reality.

I'm going to guess more like... causes it. Rather than have her kids disappear, wipe her memory, and she snaps and kills avengers and eradicated mutants, she snaps and busts a hole in the universe. Which may be possible because the Infinity Stones are now gone, and folks have been time travelling all over the frelling place....
