one decade per episode, the latter half of the season might be a lot more "real" world stuff than the first half. Episode 3 is probably already the 70s and so on.
Edit: well, or the first two eps were both 60s? I'm not that well versed in sitcom history.
actually a little peeved my disney + free year ended yesterday because I'll miss wandavision, but damn i can't justify the price for literally one show
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate comes with 1-month of Disney+ for free, and you can get 3 months of it for $1 if you've never subbed before: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass
It won't let you watch the whole show probably though, depending on how slow they roll the episodes out
One episode a week, so activate this deal when the show is done rolling out for the lowest cost to see it. I think 9 episodes total with 2 out the first week.
The free Disney+ is only avaialble until January 31st
If you have Verizon, you might wanna check your package with them. I have an unlimited data plan with them that was kind of outdated, and one of the packages they offered had the Disney bundle (Disney/Hulu/ESPN+) included in it, and I think it was only like 3 or 4 dollars more a month after everything. I shuffled over to that when my free year expired.

It's half a tribute to old sitcoms and half a mystery story, but the mystery story stuff fucks up the timing of the sitcom tribute stuff, and the jokes aren't...good, so the 80% of each episode we spend watching these two characters just in an old sitcom isn't great, and then when the mystery stuff starts popping up, it shuts the entire show down for a few minutes so it can make you stare at the mystery. The "for the children!" thing feels like a good way of doing weirdness in the sitcom, but the commercial where you're just...staring at a code thing for twenty seconds was not, and the bit where the guy is choking and his wife is saying "stop it," almost works? I don't know, it's just...if you want to do a mystery show, you have to build a better framework than this, I think.
I'll keep watching it, if nothing else it brought in some people I haven't seen in a while (good to see Debra Jo Rupp and Emma Caulfield!), so, you know, there's that

I'm actually really enjoying the sitcom stuff, and am enjoying them playing with the sitcom style of the era. The second episode magic act had me cracking up pretty hardcore.
The whole 50's sitcom thing was played a lot more straight than I had expected. Obviously things aren't alright, but I was definitely expecting it to go full color before the end of episode 2.
WandaVision first 2 eps
I think the... sincerity? honesty? of the sitcom side is what made the little odd touches work so well, plus it was done well enough to get some real laughs out of us. Some real Rik Mayall energy in episode 2.
Very excited to see where this goes.
Kathryn Hahn’s putting in some work as the catty neighbor.
I don't actually want Hahn to secretly be her Spiderverse character, but my inner preteen nerd thinks it'd be awesome

It's the show nobody likes, but Agents of SHIELD already kicked off the whole "there's mutants now" story hook. So that's an easy way to say they exist.

MCU will never acknowledge Agents of SHIELD so that's not an option

So far my favorite little thing in the show is that whenever things start getting weird, or something happens that breaks the sitcom "reality," the camera switches from a traditional sitcom look to a more cinematic look.
Ant-Man and the Wasp officially declared shield noncanon when a character said "truth serum is just tv bullshit"
SHIELD also literally declared that it wasn't real within that season. Also, SHIELD Is conveniently off in it's own little section of the multiverse, with an intact and rebuilt Triskelion. If Phase 4 is all about multiverse shenanigans, there's actually nothing stopping them from integrating bits now if they want to.

Really liking the show so far.
yeah but uh didn't the truth serum stuff effectively work in ant-man and the wasp
Yeah that's literally the punchline is the goon who had the serum looking at the FBI or whoever agents and being like, "holy shit it does work!"
thus establishing that he invented truth serum in 2018 and it could not have canonically existed earlier

It’s his grandson just like the principal in Homecoming.
Rogers went back in time and stole his wife, clearly some Time Shenanigans were necessary in retaliation
i'm sure disney will have an excellent explanation when Agents of Shield is officially merged with the MCU

Like, no other Inhumans, just a giant, teleporting doggo.
Now I just read a synopsys about his history, and he's an extremely good dog. Rescuing his siblings even before he was born! That's a good start.
Before later writers retconned it because it was the worst idea ever
And the writer in question got really pissy that his brilliant idea was retconned. But he's terrible, so who cares.
