I think I turned WandaVision on and off about 5 times during the first show...just struggled with "getting it". But now I have to say I'm somewhat hooked just because I want to see what the heck is really going on!
Honestly I thought Mando was great but by the like seventh or eighth episode of first season I lost interest and moved on.
LolBagged Wandavision after ten minutes. Not sure what the hell they were going for but bad was it, they succeeded,
What show was everyone expecting here? Was there a secret trailer for this show that showed only action sequences and said “This show is nothing like a sitcom!” Marvel and Disney have literally been telling people what this show was going to be for 2 years. I just don’t get why anyone that’s not into what the show was pitched to be would even put it on in the first place. If I see a show or movie that has a plot or premise that doesn’t interest me, I’m not putting it on.
Exactly.
Whatever, I'm loving this show! I can't wait for this Friday.
Love how we’re judging a show based on 90 out of ~360 minutes.
By the metrics used on how boring WandaVision is in its first 90 minutes, Breaking Bad would have been cancelled after episode 2.
Exactly. We’ve been binging a lot of older shows since March with more downtime and we know we have to give shows at LEAST 8-9 episodes before we make a decision to pull the plug and move on. Some shows are slow builders and others just don’t find their groove until later in the series. Wandavision really doesn’t even fit either of those categories though, as it’s been great since the beginning. The main issue, as we’ve discussed, was in the marketing and people not really knowing what they were going to be watching. Expecting it to be a sitcom was only going to lead to it being a letdown. People that say, “the jokes fell flat,” they weren‘t supposed to be laugh out loud jokes, they’re puns on the system of sitcoms.What show was everyone expecting here?

I've adored all three episodes of WandaVision so far, but that's largely because House of M is one of my favorite comic storylines of all time.
