Wanda Vision review
So, there’s this show about a magical woman and he robot husband… and it take place in 1950s… no wait 1960s…. or was it the 90s? This was a very strange series to watch, but one that was very much a desired fleshing out for the Scarlet Witch, and also for Vision. And we both has a blast watching it.
Spoilers – This show will spoil elements and Episodes of Wanda Vision, so you have been warned.
Wanda Maximoff – Elizabeth Olsen
An avenger who was previously altered by the Mind Stone, increasing her latent magical powers. Officially now known as the Scarlet Witch, a moniker for the type of witch that can use chaos magic. Wanda is initially not entirely aware that she created this reality, but has slowly figured out that she has. She depart at the end of the series, but it rumored to return during Dr. Strange’s next movie, possibly as a villain. It is revealed that the reason her altered reality mimics sitcoms is because she loved them as a child, watching them with her family. The character’s growth however has been mostly resolved around her repeated losses of a family, either her parents, Pietro, Vision, and now her altered reality family.
Vision – Paul Bettany
An android and former Avenger. He is fact not the actual Vision, but a creation of Wanda’s magic within her reality. A later nod to the white Vision, or ‘The Vision’, later appears and they duke it out, but in the aftermath, the second vision disappears and is unknown where he is. Paul Bettany sited his performance was based off Dick Van Dyke and Hugh Laurie.
Billy and Tommy Maximoff – Julian hilliard & Jett Klyne
Manifestations of Wanda’s imagination and powers within the ‘Hex’. They twins are similar representations as first seen in the comic when they were made up of both Wanda’s magic and the Marvel Satan/Devil: Mephisto. Similar to their comic origins, both boys have the powers of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, mimicking their comic book origins. In the comics, both boys come back at Wiccan and Speed, whose souls are the same Billy and Tommy, and though not brothers, share a familiar bond. Both children’s soul may continue to exist in some form, something which may motivate Wanda in the future.
Monica Rambeau – Teyonah Parris
Character was last seen in Captain Marvel, as the daughter of Captain Marvel’s best friend. As a cause of going through the ‘Hex’ barrier, she has absorbed some level of powers, which gives her super powers. Which ones are unknown, though in the comics, she has the ability to change in to energy of any kind, which grants her some abilities, but which is unknown and haven’t been properly explored. The character will return in Captain Marvel 2.
Jimmy Woo - Randall Park
An FBI agent who happens to be the first to report to the ‘Hex’. He was last seen in Ant Man and the Wasp (Ant Man 2), previously as Scott Lang’s parole officer. One joke returning his time during Ant Man is the card trick he first displays for Monica Rambeau when they first meet.
Darcy Lewis – Kat Dennings
An astrophysicist previously seen in both Thor and Thor 2, originally an intern following around Jane Foster for student credits. She has since upgraded to a full on Astrophysicist in the many years and is now a full time scientist with her own qualifications. She is the first to discover the TV show hidden in the background radiation.
Ralph Bohner/Pietro Maximoff – Evan Peters
Initially appearing as the twin brother to Wanda, Evan Peters was the X-men version of Quicksilver, who was cast and portrayed as Peter Maximoff/Quicksilver in X-men: Days of Future Past. It’s interesting for him to be cast as this version’s Pietro, as a wink-and-nod to how sitcoms would recast character without any storyline reason for them changing all the sudden. It is eventually revealed that he was given his powers by Agatha Harkness and mind controlled in believing he was Wanda’s brother.
Agnes/Agatha Harkness – Kathry
