who watches this? this is trash. ?


I must be getting old (mid 30s) cause this show is pure trash. Production quality is good, but the
story suuuucks.
To me it seems this has been done by film students fresh out of school, who wanted to jam in as
many period pieces in there as possible.
The show is cringe, and this comes from someone who enjoys stumptown.
I think my marvel era came to an end, because if this is what Marvel will be bringing: good riddance

tvmaze 6.6 (exactly what I would give. it's not even a 7)
imdb 8.1

I'm in my forties and I also thought they had a team of interns who came up with this whole story. Is this supposed to be a comedy? I don't find it to be funny. It seems like a parody of real shows with the Monica Rambeau origin story mixed in.

It's almost worth watching just to see how worse it gets. The success of Guardians of the Galaxy made Marvel place more of an emphasis on humor instead of superhero action. I grew up watching I Love Lucy and Bewitched so the jokes are a bit stale for me but they might work for the younger generation. I'd rather watch an original show instead of a parody of classic sitcoms.

I'm glad this is an alleged opinion because it sure isn't a critique of the show. 😉

More homage and not really a parody as it is acted and performed so expertly. Each episode has an ominous mystery lurking both just beneath the surface and in full view of the audience.

That is hilarious! Tsk, tsk, it seems your mileage really did vary but items in your "Rear-View" mirror will be so much more entertaining.

Not quite, in my humble opinion. If you watched it for the action try focusing on the mystery. The humor is not the point and, truth be told, there is a tragic and maybe doomed Love Story operating in plain view. Probably not your cup of tea?

More homage and less parody but tastes great and less filling nonetheless!

WandaVision is (for me) too much of a good thing and filled with references and TV show moments that I am not familiar with. Yet it is thoroughly enjoyable for how it does what it does and all of the questions it introduces and then takes you along with a steady reveal. WandaVision subverts expectations and rewards expectations in each episode.

I haven't watched it and don't plan to.
1. Olsen is miscast,Kat Dennings should have been been Wanda
2. The concept is stupid
3. To expand on 2 the source material is by one of the worse comic writers ever, Tom King

Well, at least now you know that you have no taste whatsoever! Maybe get a COVID test?
