Hayward loses control of the mission in episode 6 of 'WandaVision'

 




Things are starting to escalate beyond control in this week's episode of Wandavision 'All New Halloween Spooktacular'. We hit the 90's and it looks like Malcom in the Middle influenced the introduction. Everything seems to be as had been in the past, but we quickly see that there is tension between Vision and Wanda. 

Let's take a moment to look at the costumes. With it being Halloween, we get to see the characters in their costumes from the comic books. There are so many other Easter eggs that are spread throughout the episode. The other one that I found the most interesting is the movies that are playing in town. As seen below, The Incredibles and Parent Trap. Both movies are fitting, because Wanda's family is a family of heroes and she and Vision are essentially trapped where they are. 


Back to the show. 

Hayward is continuing to try and figure out how to take out Wanda (so once again a man tears down the company that a woman has built). Monica questions everything he is doing because she has sense to know that Wanda is just grieving and killing may cause more problems then solutions. Hayward doesn't stand for this so he sends Monica, Jimmy, and Darcy away. Don't worry, they don't go quietly. They sneak back in and see that Hayward is not really focused on Wanda, but on Vision. Obviously, he wants Vision because he is a weapon and Hayward probably wants to use Vision for nefarious reasons.

Inside the Hex, Vision deceives Wanda so that he can investigate the town. He runs into Agnes and he breaks her control. She reveals to Vision that he was an Avenger and is dead (both of which he didn't know). This causes Vision to try and break through the Hex which causes him to almost die.

To save Vision, she extends the Hex and traps 95% of Hayward's people and Darcy. Hayward escaped but considering he lost his whole team, he is going to have to work with Monica and Jimmy if he wants any way of taking down Wanda. And since Wanda has added probably around 100 more people, it's going to be harder for her to control them. 


We do get to see them address the re-cast of Pietro. Pietro explains it to being that it was too painful for her to see her real brother (this could make sense if she brought him back). My favorite part is when they make a reference of how he is 'Kick-Ass'. For those of you who don't remember, Aaron Taylor was the character Kick-Ass in the movie (which is a different superhero movie. Coincidence. I don't think so). This version of Pietro plays a bit of devil's advocate with Wanda's plan in this Hex, questioning her and forcing her to rethink the decisions that she has made. Is he playing her conscious or could he having his own agenda?

The show had a lot of details and a lot of little things that I am sure I have missed on first viewing. The show will be ending in 3 episodes so you know things are going to escalate quickly and all bets are off in what will happen. 

What did you think of the show?

Wanda is struggling to keep control in episode 7 of 'WandaVision'

  If you are not already hooked on Marvel’s new TV show on Disney+ WandaVision then this week’s episode will certainly have you hook, line, and sinker. This week’s show is titled ‘Breaking the Fourth Wall’ and in some ways it breaks more walls then that. The show hits the 2000s and Modern Family seems to be the theme with some splashes of other sitcoms from the 2000s. I really enjoyed the commentary that Wanda and Vision have when they are talking to the camera. The glances and the 'knowing stare' from Vision are completely spot on.  Like the other episodes, this one is jam-packed with information so you need to make sure you are paying attention. Wanda is slowly but surely losing control of the Hex. The kids are noticing this and want to help but Wanda just thinks relaxing will help (not likely). In the reality part of the show, we discover that Hayward is trying to get Vision back so he can use him as a weapon (no surprise there). Monica and Jimmy meet with her friend (...

Review: 'Dominik' by Sawyer Bennett - Can Dominik tame Willow's wild heart?

In the 6th book of the series, Dominik takes the lead as he tries to get Willow out of his thoughts, but that proves more difficult the more time he spends with her. Willow doesn't want to tie herself down to this man, but the more she fights, the harder she falls. When you do book series like this, it's hard to like every single one. Especially when you unintentionally compare the books with one another. I had a hard time liking the relationship with Dominik and Willow. Perhaps its that we didn't really get to see the beginning (you hear about it in other books) or maybe I just didn't like the way that they are together. It just didn't tickle my fancy. They didn't have that 'it' factor that separates the story from others. I did enjoy the cat and mouse game that Willow was playing with Dominik. That part was entertaining. See a man of Dominik stature get frustrated and make moves that I am sure are out of his character. But even that got old aft...

'Sinful King' by Claire Contreras is now available

The Sinful King, a new, sexy, 100% stand-alone novel by New York Times bestselling author, Claire Contreras, is LIVE! If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery. Every summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water. Cottages that belonged to my family. Each of those summers, my parents sent me away – summer camp and later, boarding school. Anything to keep me away from the royals and their partying. I hadn’t been home in years, but when I finally come back for the summer, I see that not much has changed. Like all the summers I’d been gone, Prince Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. No reason at all to even think he was there. I’m given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes t...
