I am greatly disappointed with this season finale, I won’t lie to you.

As someone who is passionate about both Wanda and this TV show, everything that is created, it tore down in this final episode. Even the end credit scenes did nothing for me, but let me get into some details .

To begin, the one thing I loved was Wanda’s full costume. We finally see her in it as more than a Halloween costume and it is beautiful. But personally, this is really the only winning thing from this episode.

No Mephisto, no Ultron, no Quicksilver now, no Dr. Strange, and no Fantastic Four. Granted these were all fan theories that I think we all respectively ran with, but even one of these would have been really cool. But what is Marvel without various theories and being wrong about them again and again? Keeps us on our toes.

Before I get into some bigger theories from this season finale, let me first talk about how cheated I feel about the Evan Peters Pietro situation. Did they really write off him being Pietro in a thirty second little clip that included a crude joke and then never touched base again? Dear God I don’t think so, but I don’t know many things right now. For one, his name being Ralph ties back to the very beginning, with Agatha’s husband always being referred to as Ralph. This means he had been present in the Hex from the start. But then what? Yes he was under Agatha’s control, but how did she manage to give him whole powers and just about make him a mutant? If we want to run with this still being the Multiverse version of Pietro (which hopefully it is or Marvel really just wasted Evan Peters), then it’s possible he’s playing a part of a part, kinda. An idea my sister introduced was that maybe he is Multiverse Quicksilver, just in the Hex with a new personality as Ralph, but then playing the part on top of that that Agatha’s control put on him. Confusing, yes, but not impossible. This would keep the Multiverse dream alive or we are simply grasping at straws, you tell me. Another possibility is that Pietro was the person in protective custody that Jimmy brings up in episode four, but once again this could simply be grasping for straws. Maybe Marvel really did troll us. Don’t worry the Multiverse is coming I swear, but who knows when, exactly, anymore.

Regardless, Agatha continuously told Scarlet Witch that she unleashed something and it would be super interesting if that Chthon, except he’s quite a strange character so who knows. If it is him, it would be likely he would be part of the new Dr. Strange movie, which Wanda will appear in next. Our dreams of Mephisto are momentarily slashed but I do believe he will appear somewhere down the road.

Now the biggest thing to get out of this is that final end credit scene. Wanda is astral projecting, something that only one other character has been seen doing: Dr. Strange. But she also is reading the Darkhold, a very powerful and dark book that holds information of Wanda’s power. She is now more powerful than Dr. Strange himself and so we need to hope she stays on the good side versus the evil. Something to note is we also hear her kids calling out to her in this time, meaning that her children (who we never see actually disappear when the Hex falls), are alive somewhere. Where, however, is the big question. It is very possible the quest to find her children will play a part in how Wanda ends of in Dr. Strange 2 and on whether or not she will remain on our hero’s sides or flip. It is very possible that her children either are with Mephisto (please don’t hate me for bringing him up again) or in the Multiverse (cue Dr. Strange 2). The Darkhold is also the kind of book that many will come looking for, so Wanda will likely not be alone for too long. This is what we are to understand as the lead into the new Dr. Strange, but we have very little information on where exactly Wanda is going to fit and what that movie will encompass. Many of the ideas that were thought and rumored to appear in the second Dr. Strange crumbled during the season finale of WandaVision.

Now, one other very important topic is our missing Vision. Westview Vision gave White Vision back his memories and then he dipped. But to be fair, White Vision, or real Vision, has no ability to feel any sort of emotions. Where he may have gone is really up in the air, considering he no longer serves a particular side. With his memories back, he may seek other familiar faces that can help him further. Since Tony is dead, this could be Bruce or Shuri. Or it could literally be no one. White Vision cannot be assumed to act in a normal Vision manor and therefore he could go anywhere and simply try to disappear. Obviously this won’t be the end of Vision and it is going to be interesting where else he comes into play further down the road.

Darcy hit Hayward with a truck and dipped, which we loved and was another great plus to this episode. The future of Darcy is unknown, but with the fourth Thor coming out in the future, it is very possible we will see her reappear there, especially since Jane is back.

Monica, as a superhero herself now, is seen in the mid-credit scene, being approached by a Skrull, who of course had been disguised. She invites Wanda up into space and refers to a male when talking about who sent her. Of course, we know this to be Fury after watching the end credit scene in Far From Home, but it also sets up Monica’s role in either Secret Invasion or the next Captain Marvel.

Since Marvel wrapped this show up in a relatively nice little bow, there aren’t various theories that come from the ending of it. Many of the main characters are expected to return in other works, but the big next step will be in Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Next week will be strange due to not having a new episode of anything, but following that we will see the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. There isn’t much information on where this will fit into the timeline or what it will lead into, but it looks like a nice comedic relief from some of the intensity that we saw in WandaVision. Unfortunately, WandaVision’s season finale didn’t exactly thrill me, but I hope each of you enjoyed it and are thinking of your own theories. If you do come up with your own theories or have some thoughts on some of mine, comment down below or reach out to me directly.

I wish you all the best of luck with managing your week off from Marvel content and check back next week for some new thoughts and theories!
