I feel bad for the people who are going to have this spoiled because they're waiting to binge watch it all at once. I was going to be one of them but decided to watched weekly and for sure would have had this surprise spoiled. It's already trending on Twitter.
Was it not already pretty obvious that Wandavision would be a way of introducing the mutants in the MCU? Obviously, it's a major spoiler in how they did that.
I wonder how much of the Xmen film series they'll bring into the MCU though. Quicksilver is an interesting choice, as his powers could mean just he is jumping through time/space, and it may not even be Wanda doing it.

The only way that this works is if the the 'rule' is true, and she can not bring people back to life. Vision is an anomaly because he is synthetic. What Wanda can do, is create a bridge between worlds in the multiverse, and that means X-Man Quicksilver can walk through and become part of the MCU. She unconsciously found a way to bring him back, and from Darcy's perspective, recast him.
Accidently, Fox and Disney created a bridge between universes with a shared character. This could not have worked out better.

One of the kids in the comics has similar powers to Wanda, the other has similar powers to her brother. My completely uneducated guess is the kid with Wanda's powers pulled Quicksilver from another universe. It'd make a lot of sense, she told them about her brother from "far away", they tried to bring him back, but since they can't bring back the dead they got a different version of him. Probably without even knowing what they were doing.

The other interesting part is that Quicksilver seemed to think that Wanda was his sister. Maybe this is part of the Wandavision illusion, but if he were just ripped out of the X-men Singer Universe, he would have no idea who Wanda was, as she didn't exist there. Although, I guess we didn't get any confirmation that Wanda wasn't in that universe either. Maybe she was, but just off screen.

Future MCU movie casting spoiler.

This could also lead into how Tobey & Andrew fit into Home Worlds. It's not one bridge, it's more like a spike through multiple layers of reality.
I actually had thought it would have been great to mgake Magneto Tutsi or Bosnian, pushing the whole mutant story line 50 years forward in time so that they could go with a very small generation of 40 something mutants, and a sudden surge of mutants between 15 and 25 just coming of age, refresh the cultural relevance a little bit, and bring little light to lesser known history than WWII.
But I do think it's an interesting take to canonize all of the Marvel films.

Different actors playing the same character but in another reality is jarring, but actually makes more sense.
In order to have the same person, you'd need the exact same combo of egg/sperm. That wouldn't happen unless the exact same conditions exist. Even then you'd have to have that every generation going back to the start of time. It makes a lot more sense to have different people in each reality.

This is probably overthinking things.

More interesting, do the canonize the other two fantastic fours.
There are portions of the x-men and both of the spider man series that are beloved. the Blade Triology is pretty canonable. But neither the Fantasic four are well regarded.
And if they do, do we somehow get to see the Evans Torch meet the Evans Cap, and wonder why they look so similar.
I don’t know why I’m doing this for a “spoilers” thread.... but
Spoiler!
so that actually was quicksilver? I was so confused, I had to remind myself what universe I was watching, because my first thought was “that’s... quicksilver???”
I’m not sure the quicksilver recast is her pulling in people from the multiverse. I think the Hahn character is dead and remembers dying. They were going to tell Vision something in episode 3 and her scene with the Dog in 4 makes me think she wants Wanda to bring them actually back.
So some sort of tunnel to the world of the dead may be happening which allows quicksilver to exist in this world with him being recast just being a 4th wall joke.
Based on what we have seen on the physics of Westview it appears that some matter is required to exist. So where did the matter for the kids, Hahn and QS come from? The multiverse as the answer doesn’t really work for the kids. The other thing is that the kids appear to be able to control the reality as well.
I actually enjoy the sitcom more than the outside world now. The sitcom has this unseen horror vibe. Almost lovecraftian.
It took me a while to link Lagos to Wanda because I'd forgotten the events of Civil War where Wanda accidentally sparked the events of the civil war through the deaths of hundreds. So now these commercials make sense, the Hydra stuff and the Lagos stuff all represent emotionally difficult parts of her life. Hydra used her and she basically killed in its name, Lagos she killed hundreds of people. I expect an Ultron cereal commerical, and maybe something around Thanos insurance.
This is all about Wanda's grief and her failure to let go and control events even though she lectures her boys against that.
Her determination to bring back Vision and live an ideal world probably based around TV shows that she has seen has made her somewhat cruel and manipulative. She's torturing and terrifying the hostages in her town. It seems un hero like and it is, but remember Wanda was raised and radicalized by Hydra.
Even her manipulation of Vision, and her dissertation of her being in control is terrifying, its gone beyond love, and grief and compensation to obsession and brutal control. And Wanda doesn't care. Her cold warning to Sword shows that.
There are signs of Wanda losing control. The dog dying, I have to believe that Wanda wouldn't kill the dog just for scripting reasons, or to do a life lesson that she herself really doesn't believe in. Her loss of control of Agnes, and Agnes' look of sheer terror as she asks if she should take the scene from the top and Wanda's uncaring nature at Agnes' suffering.
Even the entry and recast of Quicksilver as the X-men's Quicksilver, is fascinating. First and foremost it almost makes you wonder again if someone else is also manipulating Wanda as she didn't know this was coming. It also points to the multiverse nature of the the Marvel Universe, maybe she can't bring living things back to live, and sent the Avenger's quick silver is dead, Wanda or someone else, recast the role with the X-men's version. If this is infact the case, and Wanda couldn't bring a living thing back to live, then is Vision nothing more then his programming bought to life and Wanda manipulating Vision like a Zombie, but his program is trying to free him?
Also the question that is creepy, where are the children. They hinted at it in the talent show episode with the town doing things for "The Children". But they're nowhere to be seen. Is this part of Wanda's ability to control these people. Is on another level she's holding the children hostage.
Is Wanda through her grief and psychological damage that much of a villain in this story? Because right now, her controlling no matter how torturous to these people. Her casual warning to Shield, and her desire to control everything . . . forever in her ideal TV life is more terrifying and creepy and almost villainous.
To an extent we're supposed to sympathize with Wanda. She's had several major psychological blows in her life with the latest being the lost of love. But how far is our sympathy supposed to go. In a sense, this almost feels like the Buffy story line when Willow consumed by her grief over the loss of her girlfriend harnesses her power at first for just revenge against an individual to almost all encompassing evil actions. How far is Wanda willing to go, how many people is she willing to torture or worse to keep Vision "alive"?
Other thoughts
The fact that they discovered that they can sync technology to the era of the TV show to slip in things like probes is amazing, and smart.
Hayward is being positioned as the little bad in this show, but that could be another twist as he becomes the big bad.
Loved the family ties start to the show and when they trained Sparky with the sit sparky sit, it goes back to one of the credit scenes in that era's sitcoms with the Sit ubu sit good dog animation (Come on you all remember that.
I adore my C-64. That's twice this year that its been featured prominently in a show that I've watched. Here and halt and catch fire. We need a proper C64 re release not the c-64 mini that came out last year that I'm still messing with. (In fact I might be typing this on here now while staring at a c64 representation of Calgarypuck, think about that.
Her Eastern european accent came back outside of the hex, that's really interesting.
Great episode,
