WandaVision the Disney+ streaming mini series comes after the emotional trauma that Wanda Maximoff has faced with her brother, Pietro Maximoff died in Avengers: Age of Ultron and the death of Vision, her love interest and partner by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. Wanda tried to get revenge on Thanos by killing him in Avengers: Endgame, but he was assisted by his forces. She is creating her perfect world in her mind to deal with the emotional trauma in her life.
The first two episodes were light and fluffy.
WandaVision: Episode 1
The first episode of WandaVision plays ode to black and white sitcoms of the 1950s and 1960s, I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, and I Dream of Jeannie. The first episode is filmed in black and white and shows Wanda and Vision living in suburb as a married couple. Wanda and Vision use their powers at home around each other and hide it from others. They see a heart on a calendar and cannot remember what it is for, until Vision’s boss Mr. Hart reminds them of their dinner together.
Wanda thought the date was their anniversary and prepared for a romantic evening. When Vision, Mr. & Mrs. Hart appear, Wanda becomes confused about what is going on. The Harts, Wanda, and Vision sit down. Mrs. Hart asks their love story, which both Vision and Wanda cannot remember anything about. Mr. Hart starts to choke and Vision saves his life.
Like Wanda and Vision, we can forget details of our past and have to fill in what details we can in a positive perspective.
Sometimes we will forget important details from the past or our mind will block out the true events. We may try to rack our brain to remember the event, but it still does not come to memory. When this happens we can put a positive perspective or make the memory positive like Vision and Wanda did by obtaining wedding rings and making that day their first anniversary.
WandaVision: Episode 2
Episode 2 follows the after the 1960s and 1970s magical sitcoms of Bewitched. The episode is a community talent show, where Wanda and Vision try to fit in with the community by doing a magic show. During the magic show, Wanda and Vision use their powers to trick the community members. After each trick, they reveal a realistic way of completing each act. In the last magic trick, Monica Ramneau from Captain Marvel appears sa woman named Geraldine. Vision makes her appear in a portable wardrobe closet on stage that was previously empty. Vision and Wanda win the talent show and become more integrated into the community.
We are all different in our own way and sometimes need to do things to help others.
We each have unique personalities that manifest in different ways. Because of this, we may not always be accepted into a group or community. Like Wanda and Vision, we can do something for others to show that we are part of the group or community. For example, go to lunch, play a sport, or some other activity with members of that community.
