New Streaming: WandaVision- Episode 6

 Another week and another crazy Episode of Marvel's newest Show.  What fresh hell will we get next?  Let's see...

We get all '90s and '00s in this Episode as Wanda's kid is now Frankie Muniz.

Who's the guy on the right (presuming that the Internet didn't already SPOIL that for you)?
It is Halloween in Town, so we finally get the comic-book accurate costume.

Now why is the Internet is obsessed with random background people?
Vision pretends to go out (dressed as Lucha Star La Vision), but finds out what is going on in the outskirts.

You get to be on the Show- why are you sad?
Will the Festival be free of chaos or...yeah, you know it won't.

To find out what really happens, stream the Show.
Another good, inventive Episode.  The new look is fun and they really embrace it.  Aside from that, some big truth bombs drop and some more hints are laid out.  The kids play a bigger part as well, though their fate will undoubtedly not be a happy one in the end.  Mind you, Marvel could really mess with us, so who knows?  Vision refusing to play his part is a nice escalation of things here, which the Show obviously needed.  It reminds me of the pitch for Too Many Cooks.  It was originally just going to be the fake Opening Credits/Titles for 15 minutes.  That would have been funny...for maybe 10 minutes.  The Network insisted that more than just that happen and thus a Cult phenomenon was born.  It is also hard to watch the Show without being dragged into the mire of Fan Theories, but I do my best.  Just watching the Show for what it is works for me.  I'm surely still going to read people talk about who is or isn't Mephisto (if anyone actually is).  I'm trying to just be along for the ride.  one thing (understandably) lost in the transition to Parody/Homage is the clip of Chris Benoit and Bret Hart in the Malcolm in the Middle-style opening.  Otherwise, spot on...

Next time, we get more insanity and a Modern aesthetic.  Will we finally learn the truth though?  See you then...
