An interesting experiment. Essentially a MCU miniseries of two parts. The first of which acts as a homage to classic old sitcoms. Unfortunately, it’s retro throwbacks aren’t very good. I don’t think I laughed even once until the 6th episode, which embraced the more rambunctious comedy of early 2000s hits like Malcolm in the Middle. What ultimately kept me watching despite that was the underlying mystery of the whole thing. The blatantly bizarre premise for a superhero show will naturally have you asking “what the heck iiiiiiiissss this crap?” Something the show plays off of well by offering subtle clues that nothing is what it seems to keep you interested during these duller segments. The closer this draws to a close the more it begins to resemble a traditional MCU flick, with the same quality of action and visuals you would expect to see on theater screens. It even fleshes out Wanda Maximoff in some compelling ways that finally make her as developed as the other heroes she has been standing alongside for years now. The problem is with the two title Avengers being trapped in such a bizarre scenario, the storytelling in this half is primarily centered around characters portrayed by Kat Dennings, Randall Park, Teyonah Paris, and Josh Stamberg. All of whom are supremely annoying. Particularly Dennings who I honestly wanted to reach into my TV and strangle. So while this portion is a bit more exciting, it’s still not very fulfilling and further exemplifies how WandaVision’s biggest fault is that it’s just kind of boring overall. Especially since you can predict quite a few elements of its plot fairly easily. This isn’t entirely skippable however. The events here will have a significant impact on and tie directly into upcoming projects such as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It’s also nice to see Disney and Marvel do something truly new and original with their cinematic universe for the first time since The Avengers. So for the hardcore devotees and followers of this sprawling, multimedia continuity, this is worth watching and may even be essential viewing. For the less invested who simply tune in on these properties for a good time, this might not be for you as the entertainment value varies wildly.
