So, Wandavision?

[Umbran]

You're calling her a sociopath based on 2 seconds after an tremendous ordeal where he closest friends and family tried to murder her.

So, let us be clear here - you have as much right and evidence to call it murder as Davies does to call her a sociopath. Same couple of minutes of footage. Similarly emotionally loaded language.

How about the high-horses get put back in their stalls, folks? Thanks.

Pretty sure that was from Arthur C. Clarke’s Profiles of the Future: An Inquiry into the Limits of the Possible.

Asimov’s Third Law [of Robotics] states: “A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.”

Whoops. Yes, you're right. I was thinking of Asimov's use of the concept in his Foundation series and mistakenly assumed it was his idea, rather than Clarke's. I feel like I often conflate the two authors anyway. Thanks for straightening me out.

After the hurt looks, angry looks and betrayed looks

As faked as her regret over Sparky.

Can we label this as undecided? I had a hard time reading Agnes during her confrontation with the coven. She displays just hints of a few thinks. Not enough to tell clearly. To me she seems a little unaffected, but there are possibles reasons. I suspect the confrontation was deliberately presented with inconclusive details.

Now, holding the children later on, that is more damning. Except we don’t know really what is up with the children.

It might be that ultimately (and ironically) Wanda is the biggest danger, with her unconstrained use of chaos magic.

No! We have to come to a group decision NOW! Before Friday!

I kid . . . . folks are getting a bit worked up over this, we'll all find out this Friday. Or not. It's all good either way.

There was nothing fake about her emotions during that ordeal.

I think the first Thor movie would have us think that, but outside of that there's no argument being made than magic is fancy science. I think magic in the MCU is actual magic - whatever that means.

In Dr Strange the Ancient One refers to magic being like code “The sorcerers of antiquity called the use of this language "spells," but if that word offends your modern sensibilities, you can call it a "program"; the source code that shapes reality. We harness energy drawn from other dimensions of the Multiverse to cast spells, to conjure shields and weapons, to make magic."

So MCU magic is a natural phenomena that helps shape reality, as such it is fully compatible with MCU ‘science’ - I read somewhere else that MCU magic draws power from other dimensions in order to preserve the ’conservation of energy’ (thermodynamics)

Yes there was -- specifically, everything.

most likely not - the latest word from the director is that while the WandaVision narrative will have completion, the story very much works to set up and go in to Dr Strange 2. So there may well be a few cliffhangers that will not be resolved until later

What proof do you have?
