Terribly boring. Doubt I’ll continue past episode 2. Just uninteresting and not funny.
update: watched the entire series.
still uninteresting, still not funny, the only thing worse than this in the MCU is Captain Marvel
I think I see the need for last episode now, but I still assert this show would be much more interesting if it could be entirely sitcom.
My issue is that I don’t entirely see this series as more than an experiment. As we see more and more, Wandavision is little more than doses of things we’ve seen elsewhere: Truman Show, Annihilation, Pleasantville, Inception. It makes for something decently interesting, but it brings up a branding problem that it feels as though it’s fighting really hard to course-correct. Marvel has built a brand mercilessly for nearly thirteen years now and although we were given the heads up that Phase 4 was going to get a little more out there, I’m not sure how this is correlating yet. When I think Marvel, I’m not sure something like Wandavision is what I’m expecting/wanting and yet when I think of weird, surrealist cinema Wandavision doesn’t really reach the depths of brilliance there either because it has to retain elements of the MCU when it could be David Lynch directs Marvel if they’d run with it.
Characters that didn't have any logic. Annoying rebellious acts for no apparent reasons. "Wise" elder characters who bicker and are useless. Story line was inexcusably weak, character development was pathetic, and it was altogether a bad show. Original Airbender was good, this was not. Teen drama crap.
I've never saw a episode so humanized. You can feel the pain from the villain and the heroes. And the long take (car scene) was the best of MCU until now - I didn't remember any long take, just saying.
FUCK YOU JOHN WALKER STEVE ROGER'S LEGACY IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY GETTING BLOOD ON HIS SHIELD BECAUSE YOU KILLED A MAN WITH IT, YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
GodDAMN this show is just not pulling its punches.
For the love if shit, people. Without the first 3 episodes we wouldn't have this episode. Without the first 3 episodes this one wouldn't be as impactful. It's storytelling and all part of a larger whole. Stop saying, "finally we're getting somewhere," or "this is what the show should have been from the start." Its a journey. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Holy shit.
This episode was lots of dirt flying everywhere, the sound of shots being fired and people yelling.
It's all very confusing, and the fact that it feels like there's 50 different characters doesn't help.The ony face/name connection I can make is Winters'. Of all the other's I have no idea who is who.
I do like how it's all very desaturated. It gives the show this bleak, old-timey feeling.
As my wife aptly said after the conclusion of the episode, "there's plenty of action but not a lot of story here." There are certainly a lot of great moments and a good bit of mystery, but it feels more like a trailer for whats coming then a its own story.
If you missed the after credits go back and watch them !
spoiler if you have not see 4x12
i think they fuck up killing Poussey, it was a dead with no sense but to kill someone. I'm very dissapointed and i dont think i'll see the show again. The season was good i liked it there were couple of good episodes but 4x12 fuck everything, i have never cried that much but i don't see the point.
This show is hauntingly beautiful. I love how creative it is. It learns all the right lessons from Adventure Time without being derivative of it in any way.
I hope they make more.
The beast is a metaphor for time and age, right?
bro, where are they going to take this in season 3. im so intrigued, i have no idea!
I f*king cried, Luke at the end & R2 ?! best episode ever. This even tops the sequel triolgy for me. You know, this even makes 2020 a good year. 10/10
I really want to like this show, but when you create an actual interesting character for once, and then sideline him by the end of the episode, you’re not doing yourself any favours.
They totally ignored what happened in the Aftermath novels, and changed almost everything. If they were going to include a character from the books they could at least have respected the plot. I was extremely excited when I found out that Cobb Vanth was going to appear early in the episode, but ended up growing more and more disappointed as it went on.
I don't know what to think.
Everything else about the episode was impressive, of course.
What the fuck is this garbage? I'm almost halfway through the second season and half the show so far has been centered around romantic dramas and politics/courtroom dramas—what am I watching? Fucking Suits? Banal, drawn out storylines, deus ex machinas; this show is not even half as good as Avatar.
I was spoiled about almost every part of this show when I started it. I was also not a child when I watched it, and understood what makes a show good or bad.
The fact that I was still floored by how amazing this show is says a lot.
I've really enjoyed the first 2 episodes, while others seems to more uncertain. But this is the first episode I've been worried overall about the series. The modern underworld story just isn't interesting enough - I was kinda hoping we would see more Boba Fett the Bounty Hunter, not this form of a makeshift leader.
The humans grafting droid parts onto themselves, is a new concept in the Star Wars visual world, to my knowledge but it was executed so poorly. It's the first time I've looked at anything in the Disney SW era, and thought, "that doesn't look like Star Wars".
I'm not sure where this series is really going but EP4 needs to pick up the modern underworld story in a big way.
"Spectacular" "Amazing" Really? It was alright. It felt like a webisode (remember those?) than a pilot.
I don't like that they are turning a mercenary villain into a good guy just to make the series more digestible.
I also don't see it as a positive when a series is like another series. Take Better Call Saul, for example. It's very much its own thing.
I can't believe Filoni changed Kanan's story for the initial scene, ruining one of the best comics of the saga. The rest of the episode was very good, but these kind of things ruin the saga for fans and collectors. I guess we can't believe the Story Group has a real purpose anymore.
So sups were created by Nazi Germany now and the Endgame of the Company with a black CEO is white Supremacy?
I hope they clear the role of Stormfront and the guy running the Company who I don't remember the name of soon, because right now it looks like writers and recruitment didn't talk to each other.
There were better, more logical reasons for them to continue testing so they can give Compund V to adults (like predictability - adults have usually already shown their personality, while children are still forming theirs - giving compund V to a child you can end up with a Homelander or a Starlight while you probably want sth inbetween...)
Stormfront is all about female empowerment but also a sadistic racist? Damn. This show really isn't afraid of anything and I love it xD Can't wait for the moment she gets killed by Kimiko.
Not a bad show by any means but if I'm honest I liked WandaVision more. I feel like I am missing a lot of background.
Maybe it’s going to be an issue in the next episode, but Mando left his jet pack on the hillside, and never retrieved it. If he had, he would have been able to get to Grogu in time.
Great animation. The art isn't perfect, but it works. Glimpsed a mixture of Lord of the Rings and Avatar the Last Airbender; though not as good as either. I wasn't emotionally invested as I had hoped to be. Hopefully this will change in season 2.
a,my and rory are dead dont touc h me
Apart from the two excellent Mandalorian episodes, I could have done without this show. Hopefully the next few Star Wars shows feel a bit more organic.
There is a post-credit scene.
wait a minute...how are fire benders able to create fire out of thin air when other benders (well, except air) have to have something of that element already around???
