Ah here we go, it's time to rewatch WandaVision! ...again.
[spoilers including for upcoming episodes] This pilot is one of the most ambitous things the mcu has done in my opinion. They could've started the series with Wanda creating the hex but no, it just starts as your regular sitcom with a catchy intro song and your typical sitcom shenanigans. Add a little scene showing is not right in the end. Brilliant! Let's talk about the dinner scene, it's so well made: The different camera perspective is untypical for sitcoms and tells you immediately that somethings is not right/different now; Mrs. Hart is practically begging Wanda to stop it but has to remain in her cheery role which contributes immensely to the scene feeling so unsettling. And then we have Vision who doesn't get involved and helps until Wanda commands him to. Following this creepy scene we jump immediately into a forced happy ending and at that moment I knew I was going to be obsessed with this show. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany are absolutely crushing it. Great chemistry between them and a charming delivery of all the jokes - wether they're funny or not. The side characters are very well acted aswell. And you gotta love all the practical effects matching the time period.
