WandaVision Episode 5

WandaVision

I think I state the obvious by saying the entrance of Evan Peters in the most recent episode of WandaVision has officially opened the Multiverse, something us Marvel fans have been waiting for for years.

Does this mean that we are likely going to see Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland all together in the next Spider-man film? Yes.

However, this also means we are likely going to see the end of Wanda Maximoff and the official beginning of Scarlet Witch. One thing I noticed within the last few episodes, with an emphasis on this one especially, is that Wanda is quickly becoming the villain. Now while I love her as much as the rest of us, I think we are most likely going to see her be the villain within the next phase and especially in Doctor Strange: The Multiverse of Madness.

But I am talking about the big picture, let’s discuss some of the smaller points within this episode.

For one, I stand behind the belief that Agnes is definitely helping Wanda with the creation of this town. In fact, I would go as far to say that she may even be the one keeping the entire town under control. Thinking about the scene in which Vision is at his job and he breaks one of his coworkers out of the trance for a moment, he only says that ‘she’ is doing it. Now while this does not mean Wanda might not be responsible, the fact that it is hurting the people who are under the mind control convinces me that it is not Wanda. While she will likely become a villain and is turning there now, I do not think she is the type of villain to hurt innocent people, especially after the Lagos incident. Not to mention, Agnes has broken the script and is always around at a moments notice. She also was the one who exposed Monica as being an outsider.

Moving along with Agnes, I also believe that her husband, Ralph, is likely Mephisto, but that’s a completely other story.

As far as Monica’s character, I like her, but there is definitely something off with her. When the doctors were running the tests on her, she became very weird when she had been told there were issues with her blood and they wanted to redo it. She also had a very strange reaction to the mention of Captain Marvel for someone’s whose mother was her best friend.

The lead FBI agent, Director Hayward, also just gives some really bad vibes. He does a great job at painting Wanda as a villain early on and it definitely isn’t a coincidence that she pointed all of the guns at him and only him. Wanda can get into people’s heads, we can’t forget that.

Tying this back to the possibility that Wanda may not be controlling everyone, notice how in every instance where she puts someone under her control, their eyes usually glow red. Now I’m not saying this is any definitive proof, considering they only glow for so long, but it is an interesting factor.

A final thought: Who is the aerospace engineer mentioned? My thoughts? None other than our soon to be entrances into the MCU: the Fantastic Four, specifically Reed Richards. I am a firm believer that they are the ones who bought Stark Tower and now with their official entrance, it is only a matter of a time before we see them make their first appearance.

I am excited to see where WandaVision Episode 6 takes us, specifically with Evan Peters as Quicksilver now in the mix. Check back next week for my newest thoughts off of that episode! Comment your own thoughts and always feel free to contact me off of my contact page.
