And her role in Phase 4!

Leading up to the premiere of their own TV Series, I'd like to admit that my girlfriend was not thrilled... at all! The idea of a series focusing on the romance between Wanda and Viz didn't sit well with her, "Why do they need their own show...?" she asked.

Why indeed?...

I'm sure there's many of you out there, right now, wondering the same thing since we didn't get much action in the first two episodes, but I think all the laughs, Easter Eggs, and reality warping made up for the corniness of the show. The series is off to a great start and I expect it will only get better from here with the introduction of WanViz children, the House of M vibes are strong, but consider those vibes as a drop in the bucket, when it comes to why this series is vital to Phase 4.

My thoughts behind this come from what I know of Doctor Strange and that 'Every act of magic comes with a cost' and we know the good Doctor's magical acts are far from illusions and he's got one hell of a price to pay... He's in magical debt (Weird, I know), but what an amazing arc.

Doctor Strange (2015)

If you're a comic reader, I highly recommend reading the above-mentioned story, it's why Doctor Strange is my favorite Marvel character.

Now, where was I...? AH, that's right, so...

WandaVision is the lead up to Wanda finally taking up the mantle of SCARLET WITCH, probably one of the most powerful characters in Marvel Comics and by far, the strongest character in the MCU.

With six more episodes to go, Wanda's journey toward a full psychotic breakdown is about to be on full display. We were slightly teased by this at the end of Episode Two after The Beekeeper comes climbing out of a manhole and Wanda decides to reset reality, rather than confront this unknown threat. So, if you think there's going to be a happy ending at the end of all of this, I've got news for you!

It ain't happening.

Wanda's reality has been infiltrated, some of the residents in Westview are agents of S.W.O.R.D. and The Beekeeper appears to be a member of A.I.M, so what foes await our heroes later in the season?

Note: S.W.O.R.D. and A.I.M articles COMING SOON!

Now, there's one moment from Episode Two that really stands out and it's when Wanda's attempting to make up with Dottie and the radio starts acting strange before a voice cuts through...

"Wanda, who did this to you?"

That's what it keeps saying and you realize, she's under distress and that leads to another question, "Where is she exactly?" After the final battle against Thanos and his Army, you're left to wonder, where has she gone and what sort of trouble has, she found herself in?

Since the series is a direct tie-in to Doctor Strange 2: In the Multiverse of Madness, it's safe to say that before things come to an end in Westview, her whereabouts will be revealed, but the most important revelation that I hope we get a glimpse of by season end is...

What will her cost be?

There’s been a rumor making its rounds, that she’ll be the villain in the next Doctor Strange movie, so her road to recovery will be long, but Scarlet Witch will be a force in the MCU for the years to come. Man, my excitement for WandaVision has been and will continue to be high because she’s about to raise the stakes for everyone and I don’t think they’ll be ready for the next major villain they’re bringing in.

Note: Kang the Conqueror articles ALSO COMING!

Trust me, don’t let its sit-com nature fool you, this series is possibly the most important because we’re seeing through Wanda’s fragile mind, reality being alternated... Oh and one last thing...

She doesn’t need an Infinity Stone 🤷🏾‍♂️

See you later, there’s more files to go through...
