So, Wandavision?

"Maximoff stormed our facility, stole the Vision's body, and resurrected him"
"But that's in direct violation of section 36B of the Sokovia Accords" (Ep5 11:51)

We don't know the content of the Sokovia Accords. However, I will guess the issue there isn't "ressurection". Use of Ultron-related technology, perhaps, or willful creation of super-powered entities would seem more likely.

Oh no, be certain bunnies are cute, but evil. Very evil, the only thing preventing a bunny take over is that evolution made bunnies helpless and delicious. But don't be mistaken, if a bunny gets the means and chance to do something evil, that bunny will do it...

So, that's why thye cast Dottie the way they did!

 

Also Hayward didnt detain Woo and Darcy, he was having them escorted off his base but they did a runner

Fair. However, we should note that if Hayward were engaged in illegal activity with "his base" that suddenly becomes interfering in the duties of a federal law enforcement officer, which is also not good for Heyward.
 

I would assume in a universe where aliens and sentient robots and Thors and gods and stuff were common...

I am not sure they are "common". The only one who has a questionable legal status is Vision. All the others are people from political entities (world, nation, plane of existence, whatever) with whom the US and UN have no current formal relations - this is a status that's awkward, but understood by court systems.

By the time of WandaVision, the few remaining Asgardians have moved in on Earth, which probably means Thor and Loki have some recognizable citizenship, even. Likely "permanent resident alien" status in Norway, or somesuch.
 

Well, as early as episode 2, Wanda resets reality with the guy emerging from the sewer. When Vision first questions what's going on, she resets that too. That involves people. But more importantly, if Wanda doesn't seem to think she's controlling people...shouldn't she wonder why they are acting like they are in the 50s?

You continue to speak of Wanda as an entirely rational person at that point. She's not.

Yes, she resets things - and then promptly completely ignores the fact that it happened. No, she doesn't wonder why everyone else is acting like they are in the 50s, because she is immersed in the fantasy. No, none of this is healthy.

And no, this kind of denial and rejection of reality isn't unknown in normal, real-world humans.

It doesn't make sense to think that "I can control the period, style, colour, but the people are all just going along with it out of their free will."

Hint: You are trying to make a mentally unhealthy person "make sense". That's going to fail every time.

At the start of WandaVision, she's not sane. By the end of it, maybe she's back in a place where she's not a danger, maybe she isn't. It is a distinct possibility that she becomes a major antagonist in Multiverse of Madness.

Let me try another approach for a second...

During the first few phases of the MCU, Tony Stark was the poster child for "what happens when you don't deal with trauma". His arc of dealing with this issue resolved, and, RDJ isn't in the shows anymore. They have shifted that role to Wanda. You can expect much of her remaining character arc to be the same - dealing with trauma. Her arc isn't done.

The MCU (and the comics) have a problem, in that trauma-driven drama can be compelling and exciting and relatable. It makes for good movies and TV. Our entire real-world culture generally fails to deal with mental health issues constructively. Why is it somehow strange to you that in our bigger-than-life fictions, they also have issues dealing with mental health?
 

Yes, that's true. Hey, speaking of which. I am pretty impressed with your comic knowledge. (I own a comic store coming up on 28 years, and I'm pretty good at comic trivia. You appear to have a solid working knowledge - better than most people in the comic industry. Way to go!)

It helps that these storylines are rooted in the comics I read voraciously when I was young. If they were movies about the current Krakowa X-Men storyline, or the King In Black stuff, I'd be much less knowledgeable.

It also helps that I am not proud, and usually double-check myself before I write. :)
 


Nothing advances, everything eventually resets. DC on the other hand...

Crisis on Infinite Earths
Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!
Infinite Crisis
Final Crisis
Flashpoint
Convergence
Doomsday Clock
Dark Nights: Metal
Dark Nights: Death Metal.

All of these include resets of one form or another, and it is by far not an exhaustive list.

I'd imagine that New Asgard is some sort of bund or other semi-autonomous jurisdiction within the borders of a larger sovereign state.

They're probably in the U.S., given Thor's connection to the Avengers. Were I the U.S., I'd give them their own place with the understanding that in return they defend the U.S. against any and all invaders.
