So, Wandavision?

[Dire Bare]

OK. I didn't know that. Bear in mind that I've only seen Black Panther, Captain Marvel and the two Guardians of the Galaxy films. I've been considering watching the first Doctor Strange movie next.

You've got some homework to do! By the end of the week, I'm going to need you to watch all 23 films and all 12 television series.

I thought we'd established in this thread already that we could watch this show without having watched all that other stuff (or read any of the comics, which I haven't done either).

You can, but your theorizing will reflect it.

But the multiverse already exists. Dr. Strange has already explicitly traveled through it in his first movie. And some of it was, indeed, maddening.

Of course, this doesn’t rule out the possibility that she’s ripping a hole through it.

Oh absolutely. I don't deny that. I appreciate having the gaps in my knowledge filled in.

If Monica does have powers, and she can convert her body into energy, maybe she could broadcast herself like a TV signal? Maybe she was chosen for this mission for that reason? Still does not explain the beekeeper or the helicopter getting in there, but it's something that came to my mind.

Vision doesn’t have superspeed in the movies does he? But Wanda’s brother did...

You don't NEED to have that background to understand the show . . . all you really need is a basic understanding of who Wanda and Vision are, and what happened to them in the Avengers movies.

But, really, if you haven't watched the entirety of the MCU several times over . . . you just need to turn in your nerd-card.

Maybe not, but he displays super-speed in episode 3 when he catches the fruit Wanda knocks off of the table. One of them, anyway; for some reason, he doesn’t catch the orange.

I've never been a big superhero fan. After actively avoiding it for many years, my daughters convinced me to watch the Guardians movies, and from there I decided to start exploring more of the MCU because once I start getting into something, it's all or nothing. But I only have so much time, so I haven't even begun to catch up yet.

I have watched the two shorts on Wanda and Vision under the Marvel Legends heading on Disney+, so I am caught up on their stories as much as those shorts reveal.
