First Impressions - WandaVision

It has been a year and a half since our last taste of the MCU but today the first two episodes of WandaVision came to Disney+ and I have watched them and here are my first thoughts on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first proper foray into television. 

Elizabeth Olsen & Paul Bettany have great chemistry together

When looking back in the films despite their relationship, Wanda & Vision don't actually have that many scenes together but this show shows that Olsen & Bettany are perfect together and really bounce off of each other well. They are just such a likeable pair and you can clearly see the two of them are having so much fun here and it comes across on the screen very well. 

Who is controlling the world? 

We see our two heroes in this dream Sit-com like world with no memory of their past and Vision clearly alive after his death in Avengers Infinity War. So the question is how? it seems Wanda is in control of at least some aspects of the world but it definitely seems that somebody else is really pulling the strings here and there are a few suspects. 

What is SWORD'S aim?  

At the end of the first episode we see an agent of SWORD watching the sitcom and messages involving this organisation to Wanda especially in the 2nd episode. The question is what is there goal, it seems they are trying to find out who is controlling the world or are there goals more sinister in nature. 

How is Vision still alive? 

One of the bigger questions for the show is how is Vision alive. As I mentioned earlier last time we saw him he was dead so how is he alive. The answer isn't revealed or even hinted at in these episodes but I am sure it will be revealed soon enough and the next question will be will he make it out of this show alive.

Needs to pick the pace up a bit the next few episodes

I liked these first two episodes, it fits its tone very nicely and the actors all do good jobs with enough to keep you intrigued. But I must say it is so different to everything in The MCU and for someone who doesn't like sitcoms it needs to offer something new and fresh over the next couple of weeks. 

Will Mephisto be revealed as the main villain? 

Now I might be reading to much into this but was Mephisto teased here? Kathryn Hahn's character Agnes mentions the devil a few times in the episodes and I just feel like that could be referencing the devil of Marvel comics Mephisto. We also never see her husband she is always complaining about and could that be Mephisto as this show really needs a big bad. 

Overall

Overall, I liked the first two episodes of WandaVision, the feel of it is really unique and there is some interesting ways they can take the show and if it delivers on them then this could be a great start to the Disney+ Marvel shows.
