TV Review: WandaVision Season 1 - Episode 6
Things begin to get weirder (and a tad creepier) in WandaVision’s sixth episode
80/100 “sweet”
By Quinn Marcus
This episode was intense, easily the most dramatic, and heart-wrenching episode we’ve seen so far. I am still in shock from the last five minutes of this episode. Every time I look at the color red now, I get scared, that doesn’t usually happen! WandaVision episode 6, although unclear, was set sometime in the 90s/early 2000s I think. However, one thing is perfectly apparent, the laugh track is gone. Quicksilver/Fake Pietro has officially moved into the Vision household as the “cool” uncle. The kids are just beginning to figure out their powers on Halloween night while Vision proceeds to make a decision that could change the course of the show forever. Some really cool, almost horror-like stuff was done with this episode that I really appreciated. This episode asks and answers a whole lot of questions, and I still don’t know where the show’s heading. Some characters that used to be suspicious are no longer suspicious, and those who weren’t, are. The writers continue to throw the viewer into a deeper sense of mystery, unlike anything we’ve seen since the end of Avengers: Infinity War. Do you know how many different theories I’ve watched? The internet’s going just a little crazy. I still consider Bettany and Olsen to be almost Emmy-worthy these past few episodes. Both actors are truly given their time to shine, unlike the movies where they kind of just sat around. The show’s come a long way in just six half-hour episodes in terms of quality and story, and I cannot wait for more. In regards to issues I had with this episode, I found the first half not very appealing and a little too on-the-nose. Also, the episode flies by really quickly, and I found myself having to run to catch up. The kid actors are fine, but I found them to be a little annoying at times. Besides that, this was a really solid episode that will surely get you excited for the grand finale WandaVision seems to have promised.
The final verdict is…WandaVision episode 6 isn’t without issues, but it’s still as full of suspense and drama as some of the MCUs mightiest installments…BINGE IT!
