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 (sorry pals it’s not Fantastic 4) and tries to find a way in to the Hex to help Wanda. She does and we get to see a touch of her brief history so far in this universe (a lot of Captain Marvel quotes) and what the future has in store for Monica.

There are quite a few big things that are being brought from the Marvel universe into this show. Two of them are big spoilers so we will talk about them in the next episode. For this one, it’s not a huge spoiler to talk about the commercial. The anti-depressant pill being advertised is called Nexus. This is a nod to the Marvel universe that deals with multiple realities. It’s been hinted quite a bit that this phase of the Marvel cinema universe is going to play into the multiple realities and this show seems to be setting it up (there is a Dr. Strange 2 coming and Spider-man 3 is highly suspected to deal with the multi-verse). Could this be foreshadowing? Especially considering the ending, I think it’s highly likely.

There is a big surprise ending and when it’s all tied together, many of you I am sure are going to be happy because you had figured out the puzzle way beforehand. It’s rumored that the next two episodes will be longer but I am sure it’s going to be action packed. This would be the part of the movie where everything comes together and the good guys come up with a plan to take out the bad guys. AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Just a warning, there is a post credit scene and of course, it does not disappoint.

What did you think of the show?
