So, Wandavision?

[Maxperson]

When they stopped Monica from going back before, they said her cells had mutated. I'm wondering if the Hex passing over people (and perhaps expanding worldwide in a later episode) isn't the event that bring mutants into the MCU now that they have the rights to do so.

Powers gained from energy, etc. don't make mutants. They make super beings like Spiderman, who isn't a mutant. Mutants are born with the mutant gene and manifest those powers usually around puberty. It might set things up for their kids to be mutants, though.

There's mutants (like the X-men), altered humans (Spider-man, Hulk), hi-tech wonders (Iron Man), robots (Vision), and aliens (Thor), if I recall the game correctly.

City of Heroes divided superhero origins into Mutant, Natural*, Science, Technology and Magic.

*This included aliens - natural for you!

i had no idea the 4th wall was related to the show types like modern family/office

wonder what next weeks show theme will be? What is todays best family show/comedy? Simpsons?

Is Rambo now the same as Captain Marvel in powers? Is she a strong match for quicksilver?

Ive heard theories this is how marvel introduces mutants and fantastic 4.

Doubly likely if the book on the podium was the Darkhold, and Wanda rescued it from SWORD custody...

The book looks different from the last time we saw it on Agents of Shield.

But then again, it would have to be the Darkhold wouldn't it? What other book could it be? Wandavision already has so many ties to Thor the Dark World and Doctor Strange, plus the Darkhold originates from the Dark Dimension, which is featured prominently in both movies. I can't imagine it being any other book really. It is one of Marvel's favorite MacGuffins.

As a side note, I really hope Doctor Strange makes a cameo on the final episode of Wandavision.

If you trust the outward appearance of anything on the show, you may have missed the point.

(That said, as they moved into the basement, I think they switched to the "real world" aspect ratio, so I think what we see may be what we get in the Basement)

But then again, it would have to be the Darkhold wouldn't it? What other book could it be?

The Necronomicon. It also has a history in the MCU as a bit of a "lesser Darkhold".

The Book of the Vishanti is supposed to be filled with "white magic", and so it probably isn't that.
The Book of Cagliostro gets mentioned in the Doctor Strange movie. Would it have left the library?
Marvel comics have several other magical tomes of note (the Book of Demonicus, the Tome of Zhered-Na, the Iron Bound Books of Shuma Gorath, etc) but they are all kind of obscure, and would just be "magical book" in this context... which is fine, actually. Agatha doesn't have to be working from a specific known book.

Maybe it's a bound bumper edition of Marvel comics?

Or the WandaVision scripts?

Because it's impossible to get too meta.

My bet on the ending: People in a 1960s sitcom watching TV. They at watching you watch WandaVision.

Yeah. The game called the ones like Spiderman altered aumans and also in the Ultimate Powers Book, mutants - induced. Either way, though, they didn't register to things like the Sentinals or Cerebro which detected mutants.

Fair point. But it would be a bit odd of them to make the book look like another book. If they wanted to disguise it, they could have disguised it as any other household item. So in that respect, I think it is fair to assume that the book is as we see it.

The Necronomicon. It also has a history in the MCU as a bit of a "lesser Darkhold".

Possible, but it has less ties to Doctor Strange and Thor the Dark World as far as I know. Plus it is more commonly associated with the works of HP Lovecraft and the Cthulhu mythos. It would be fun to see the Necronomicon make its way into the MCU though.

The Book of Cagliostro gets mentioned in the Doctor Strange movie. Would it have left the library?

Not just mentioned, don't we also get to see it?

Marvel comics have several other magical tomes of note (the Book of Demonicus, the Tome of Zhered-Na, the Iron Bound Books of Shuma Gorath, etc) but they are all kind of obscure, and would just be "magical book" in this context... which is fine, actually. Agatha doesn't have to be working from a specific known book.

But I think given how prominently we are shown the book, that it isn't just a simple spellbook, or a book we've never heard of. It must be something very vital to the plot, and possibly also to Doctor Strange. The show is now really leaning into the witchcraft. Still, that does not exclude the possibility that they are introducing an all new book as their MacGuffin.
