Nerdy Soul

  This episode, titled 'The Series Finale' is the longest of the season and there is a whole lot going on so it's very easy to miss something. The main storyline is Wanda facing off against Agatha while Vision rushes to her in order to get some answers about his past.  The show picks up right where the last episode left off with Wanda trying to save Billy and Tommy from Agatha. Obviously after some trial and error, she is able to defeat the wicked witch (with a nod to Wizard of Oz ). Vision joins up with her and is no longer questioning her decisions and not looking to save her. But to help her. Once again, Vision for swooning win.  Outside of the Hex, Hayward has found Woo is looking to keep him out of the way while he gets ready to attack Wanda with White Vision. He jumps at the opportunity to go inside the Hex and it causes more of an inconvenience for the battle then anything. Real honest, it felt forced and not really adding anything to the story line but to flick ar...

If you haven't wanted episode 7 yet, I would hold off on watching this until then. If you have, then let's dive in. We found out at the end of the last episode that Agnes is really Agatha Harkness (much to not that many's surprise). The biggest question is, is she a good guy or a villain? In the comic book, she dabbles a bit with both sides.  The show starts with seeing how Agatha got all her powers and why she is so determined to know how Wanda did what she did. No surprise, it is power. So she takes Wanda to her past to find out what 'broke her' and how she got her powers.  Back to the past. We see what happened before the explosion when her parents died when she was 10 and Agatha believes that it was because of Wanda that the Stark bomb didn't explode. This is the part where we see Wanda's love for sitcoms began. We see DVD copies of Dick Van Dyke show, Malcom in the Middle, I Love Lucy. All the shows that we believed the first episodes of this season we...

  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 (...

  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 eve...

It's no surprise that there would be a full trailer release for the next Marvel show hitting Disney+. The Falcon and Winter Soldier reunites two friends of Captain America, Sam Wilson aka Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) are trying to take over for Cap's duties and it starts with an anarchist group, called the Flag-Smashers that is threatening America.  The trailer starts off with a woman talking to Falcon and Winter Soldier, trying to get them to communicate (looks like they are in therapy). Before we see them both in action. The fighting sequences look epic and even though this is going to be an episodic show, it won't feel like it. And considering how well WandaVision is doing, I am sure it will be amazing. Even though most of the focus is on Falcon and Winter Soldier, we do see some familiar faces. The first being Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) who has been on the run since Civil War. The other familiar face that we see Helmet ...

  In this week's episode titled 'On a Very Special Episode' we get a whole lot of information so make sure you are paying attention to the details. Now that we have seen both sides of the wall in episode 4 , we are going to be going back and forth from the TV world and the reality world. Monica is now out and trying to explain what it's like inside the Hex (thank you Darcy for giving it a name). Tyler Hayward (the director of SWORD) is falling in line for what we have seen from past directors outside of Fury. He is acting first and not listening to anyone else's input. Cough cough Monica. Cough cough. Having live inside that world for three episodes, Monica feels she understands Wanda. Tyler wants to see Wanda as a terrorist. And considering how she stole Vision's body, it's easy to see where he gets that idea. But not listening to Monica's idea, he is going to make this problem a whole lot more complicated. Monica (like everyone else in the world) beli...

In this week's episode of 'WandaVision' titled "We Interrupt this Program" follows Monica as she returns from the blip (aka Iron Man's return snap). She is looking for her mother, Maria, and learns that she has disappeared for five years and that her mom died of cancer three years prior. This is sad news for fans of Monica who we met in Captain Marvel. I know I was hopeful to seeing a crossover with that character in the Marvel universe again.  Le sigh. But we do learn that Maria was one bad-ass MF as she created the new SHIELD, called SWORD (Sentient Weapon Operation Response Division). Monica returns to work at SWORD and is sent on a mission to Westview, New Jersey. We see some familiar faces once we get here. FBI Agent Jimmy Woo (Randall Park - the FBI agent trying to keep Scott Lang on his parole in Ant-Man and the Wasp ) and Darcy (Kat Dennings - Natalie Portman's assistant in Thor and Thor 2 ) returns and basically is the reason why they can figure a...

  WandaVision jumps to the 70's in this episode and that includes color! The show feels and looks very much like The Brady Bunch in this episode. Again, the show goes right to the line of what the shows were like in the 70's, but does not go over the top.  We know that Wanda is pregnant in this episode (as it was at the end of the last episode) and because Vision is the father, it's going to be an expedited pregnancy. All done in about fifteen minutes of the show. They have twins! In my head, I went straight to the fact that Elizabeth's sisters are twins and how that is funny ironic and completely forgot that her character is a twin. DUH! The show ends in a true Marvel fashion. There is a tension-filled moment with Geraldine (aka Maria) because Wanda talks about her twin brother Pietro. Geraldine makes the mistakes of stating that she know Pietro was killed by Ultron. Wanda breaks from her fantasy and doesn't like the fact that Geraldine is breaking her fantasy so s...

It is finally upon us. Marvel is finally releasing new material. This is exactly what fans need after the disastrous of a year of 2020. Granted we weren't getting a whole lot of new footage in 2020, but the fact that Black Widow was delayed for over a year was enough to get any fan upset. 2021 is going to have quite the line up for Marvel with WandaVision kicking it off. The show returns Paul Bettany as Vision and Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff. The show is going to pay homage to all the classic sitcoms and they do it in a way that is not over the top (thank God). The first two shows may be a little of slow going for some fans that expect a lot of action, but give it time. Marvel has done well at connecting all the dots. Let's not lose hope. But let's get to the show. WandaVision stars Wanda Maximoff and Vision as they are living their life like famous sitcoms. The first episode looked to pay homage to Leave it to Beaver with a touch of I Love Lucy. Wanda a...
