So far most (if not all) of the Disney+ shows have been a combination of origin story and set up for later shows / movies.

Which I think is kind of cool because that's how comic books worked. Just so long as they don't make it necessary to have watched every show in order to enjoy and follow the movie. Though, honestly, a lot of people might have been confused with Wanda's behavior in Dr. Strange if they weren't familiar with her show.

Yeah, they even reference Westview in the movie. I think it’s going to get harder as time goes on to follow the events of the MCU if you only watch the movies.

And people who were familiar with the show were even more confused and probably quite annoyed!

Nope loved it, logical consequence and resolution of Wandas trauma and declining sanity. Great to emphasize that not everyone gets a happy ending

I was a bit confused with Wanda in Multiverse of Madness because I DID watch WandaVision! At the end of WandaVision, while you do see Wanda paging through the Darkhold listening to whispers of her children's multiversal counterparts . . . . she had also pulled back from her attacks on the citizens of Westview and come back to sanity.

I guess I wasn't confused, just disappointed that Wanda's redemptive arc in WandaVision was discarded so quickly. Still enjoyed the movie though.

Quoting a friend of mine, "no one gives any credit to the thief who puts the money back after their caught".

Which is ultimately what happens in Wandavision. There wasn't really any redemptive arc for Wanda, she did bad things for understandable (but still wrong) reasons, she got caught, she stopped doing those bad things....and then left. I mean, its good that she stopped doing those bad things, and yes it was an emotional sacrifice to her...but she never did anything "redemptive", she never did any penance or tried to help those she had wronged in any way. She just stopped doing villainous things.... well unless you include imprisoning Agatha in that character motiff that apparently is so torturous that the people in them literally asked to die rather than continue to be in them.....yeah lets not forget about that one.

I’m really enjoying the series. I will say though that the courtroom subplots are usually the weakest element of the show. The ideas themselves are great, but given how much high quality legal drama/comedy TV there has been over the years, it does seem like the writers are a little out of their element during some of these scenes.

Note the order of events - she pulled back from abusing the folks of Westview, THEN you see her with the Darkhold.

The Darkhold is not just a morally neutral collection of information. It is a corrupting influence. And, stepping back from mass torture doesn't mean Wanda was in a good, solid, psychological state to expose herself to such, especially when she has a lot of power, but very little understanding of magic.

What redemption arc? She spent who knows how long torturing an entire town and in the end she just walked away without really paying any price.
