Thoughts on WandaVision?

if the last 3 episodes continue the amazing streak its had so far then it's one of the best things Marvel Studios has ever made imo, right up there with Endgame. haven't been this glued to anything in ages, to the point where I eagerly await each upcoming friday for the next episode

it's the type of creativity & uniqueness that can manage to appeal to everyone, even newcomers or just being a refresher for people who are tired of mcu/superhero films and I love that it's giving Vision and Wanda some good character development and personality finally as I think they've been sorely wasted thus far, especially Vision

I'm shocked at how engaging it is and how brilliant the writing is. I love this show, and all I expected going in was a quirky little something or other that didn't really matter or grab me. as it stands, yeah! I love how experimental it is, how willing it is to go off the rails, and how high-concept it can be. Brilliant show, can't wait to see how it ends (I predict Wanda's gonna be turning into a villain for the next Dr Strange movie, based on that movie being called the Multiverse of Madness)

the writing has been incredible but I can't lie I did chuckle a bit at [Episode 6 spoilers]:

Spoiler!

them being able to beat up SWORD agents out in the open and nobody hearing or seeing it despite being in the background, then Darcy being able to hack into the SWORD Director's computer in literally 2 seconds, can't tell if that's meant to show how smart Darcy is or how inept SWORD already is, but I know that's a nitpick and was probably just done for time :P

yeah, in a way I think WandaVision has made me more excited for the D+ MCU TV shows than some of the films now lmao, this is the type of thing that wouldn't have been able to work as a film due to time constraints, so knowing that we can see more creative things like this happening while on a movie level budget/quality with way more time to flesh them out? sign me the fuck up 

my prediction is 50/50 with Wanda either being the full on baddy or some other force secretly using her or controlling her to do this, we know she's aware of the hex at least but someone else seems to be influencing things at times
