Wanda throws a car at Agatha, launching her through a window, after which we get a little Wizard of Oz gag: Aggie’s boots sticking out from underneath the wreckage. “It’s kinda my thing.” Wanda looks at her hand and sees it’s become discolored, as if it’s been drained of blood. “I take power from the undeserving,” the elder witch crows. Wanda tries a magic blast on Agatha again, but she catches and absorbs it. Wanda shoots a magic blast at Agatha and the latter’s lariats disappear Wanda tells the boys to run home and they’re gone.

Our first image is Wanda’s face, contorted with concern and effort as she looks at Agatha, who still holds Tommy and Billy in ethereal lariats.

For now, let’s jump back right to where we left off: with a bunch of CGI mishegoss.

Around the 35-minute mark of this series finale, it struck me: This was a show that, deliberately or not, was about what it’s like to be in love at the end of the world. All of that said, the show did have something to say, and that something is terribly relevant. The meditations on grief were often deeply poignant (especially in this episode), but largely predictable. It was innovative within the context of the MCU, for sure, but not nearly as ambitious on an absolute scale. To paraphrase Robert Browning: Feige’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world.īut did we learn anything? Was this all just remembrance of sitcoms and comic books past? To an extent, that’s what it was, yes. It brought in new viewers, it introduced new conflicts, it teased new mysteries, it took new directions, and now it has a new lease on life. And yet, over the course of the past two months, this series has, for better or worse, rekindled the fire. At the outset of this series, it was hard not to feel like the MCU was approaching irrelevance in our brutally disillusioned and attention-deficient era. You and I, along with all of our fellow WandaVision viewers, saved the universe - the Marvel Cinematic one, that is.
