TV Review: WandaVision Season 1 - Episode 3
“WandaVision’s” mystery deepens in a much more intriguing third episode
83/100 “sweet”
By Quinn Marcus
This is what I wanted! The last five minutes of this episode finally got me hooked. To recap, episodes one and two were cute, but I didn’t care about the story, this episode made me care, and I’m hyped for the rest of the season. We’ve now hit the 70s in this wacky reality, and Wanda’s going through a strangely accelerated pregnancy. In fact, she has the babies that very day! Vision, aware of this, discovers that not all is what it seems in this television reality. People are glitching out, saying weird things, and acting as if something may be wrong. The whole twist of the show was riding on one line that a character said, but the writers were smart enough to keep it concealed. The first three-quarters of this episode was fun, forgettable, just like the first two, but the last five minutes were truly unlike anything MARVEL has shown us. Once again, Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen shine in their starring roles, and so do the rest of the cast. Many of the jokes worked, and the story seems to have found it’s mysterious, comedic footing a little more. Not only do I not know what’s going to happen next, but I have questions…a lot of questions; something that the previous episodes lacked, I also don’t have the feeling that it’s all downhill from here. I have high hopes for the remaining episodes of the season after what seems to be the show’s brilliantly handled inciting incident. As long as the show finds way’s to keep me interested, laughing, and full of theories, this could end up being one of MARVEL’s best products to date.
The final opinion is…WandaVision finally has me hooked with a third episode that’s fascinating as well as humourous…BINGE IT!
