Running MCU thread

I loved the twist they put on it in Endgame, as well.

 

WandaVision Has a Chance to Fix One of Marvel's Biggest Mistakes

I was wondering when we were going to see the story about sexist tropes in WandaVision. The author isn't wrong. There really is a history of female heroes in Marvel Comics becoming too powerful and losing it mentally, leaving the men to fix things. It would be true to the Scarlet Witch's character in the comics. She has often been portrayed as mentally unstable and dangerous, specifically in the House of M storyline that is at least some of the inspiration for WandaVision.

 

The MCU has done a great job taking old characters and stories and taking them in new directions. They took that one from a fantastic part of the Civil War storyline in the comics, though the fight choreography really sells it. The twist Batman mentioned in Endgame worked whether you know the comics or not, but it was a nod to the Secret Empire storyline in the comics, which featured Captain America saying "Hail Hydra" and meaning it in a reveal that seriously pissed fans off.

It’s Monday...

Spoilers...

If that’s the case, we might see Emily Blunt before Jim Halpert.

My thought is Wanda started all of this, but All Along some how entered Wanda’s reality via that entrance we saw on Friday. I think Wanda has bridged the multi-verses, but All Along and another villain saw this as an opportunity to get what they want. We are multi-versing and Wanda is the anchor.

I’m feeling that the Eternals will not be on Wanda’s world, but will be working in a different multi-verse and will be somehow working with Wanda’s to take down Kang or Scratch or whomever is getting All Along to do this.

 

I think all along simply refers to it being Agnes/Agatha mucking with things all along, not a name. The character is Agatha Harkness.

 

My daughter texted me during the day yesterday to share a theory on a big cameo. lol.

She thought maybe Shuri would show up. Her logic was that Shuri is something of an expert on Vision after her work to try to remove the stone in Infinity War. She's also a big Shuri fan.

I told her the Wonder Man theory, which really annoyed her. She has no idea who Wonder Man is, nor does she care that he is tied into Vision's origin in the comics. (Some weird crap about using his brain patterns for Vision. Remember, there was no JARVIS as an AI in the comics, at least not back then. Jarvis was just a human butler.) That theory seems to be based on the appearance of the helmet of the Grim Reaper, the villainous brother of Wonder Man, in the opening of the second episode. Grim Reaper played an important role in the Vision comic book series a few years back. I told her that Simon Williams (Wonder Man's real name) was supposed to appear on a movie poster in one of the MCU movies, but they cut the scene. Nathan Fillion provided the image for the poster, but my daughter had no idea who that is.

My daughter declared that if it really was Wonder Man, she will be pissed. lol

She's also watching the first Fantastic Four movie to learn who Reed Richards is, though him showing up seems less likely at this point.

 

Yes, I know who Harkness is. I thought All Along is a fun nickname for her.

We might see Emily Blunt, powerless, but that would have the same effect, but from a different delivery.

Wonder Man or Shuri are not Baby Yoda big. Magneto, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, more Spider Men, Ms. Marvel, Gwen Stacy... that’s Baby Yoda big.

I think Harkness and the Sinister Seven are taken down, and the big bad pulling their strings is shown in a post-credit.

And Schwimmer has to have a bigger role.

 

I’ve read/heard that the big reveal is on the level of the big reveal in The Mandalorian. I’ve read a lot of speculation, and I know what I write next will not happen, but how cool would it be to see Lou Ferrigno come barreling out at the end?

 

Morgan Freeman

 

That would be fun, but they have already had a Lou Ferrigno cameo in the MCU. He played a security guard at the university in The Incredible Hulk.

 

That's what I told my daughter about Shuri, though perhaps we are underestimating just how popular Shuri is among teenagers.

Wonder Man would generate more interest for the actor than the character, but neither comes anywhere close to the reveal in The Mandalorian.

Those other characters would be better. Magneto makes the most sense than most of the ones you listed, but somehow that almost seems too predictable. Then again, so did the reveal in The Mandalorian if you think about it.
