Wandavision Episode Six Review- All New Halloween Spooktacular! (SPOILERS!!!)

By: William Wilson

Chronologically, Wandavision has approached the nineties. This series started in the fifties, with a rather peculiar Wanda and Vision beginning married life. The heroes we knew before were somehow trying to blend into a normal life. They hid their powers and played along to a backdrop identical to I Love Lucy. Now they have protected their identity in the sixties, birthed twins in the seventies and dealt with instantly aging children and a S.W.O.R.D. attack in the eighties. Episode

six starts with the nineties, but on Halloween. Remember, everything in this world is a sitcom. Or at least, the world Wanda is in.

So it is now established Heyward is a bad guy. He is hostile towards the Wanda World created by the dimension, The entire town of Westview, New Jersey is the backdrop to this Wanda-centric universe. Pietro’s presence in this episode was funny because he played a man-child dude who could reach through to Wanda. The casting of Evan Peters to play Wanda’s brother Pietro in this series (up until this point) is wild. The show has humorously bridged the X-Men Sony Universe with the MCU. Pietro and Wanda were really hitting on almost every emotional front and it was sad to see her deceased brother console her.

Meanwhile, Vision came up with the perfect plan. He lied to Wanda and said he could not be with her and the children on Halloween night because he was going to work for the neighborhood watch. I had no idea what his plan was going to be but when I saw the broken married couple in a broken time loop of never-ending lawn decorating, I knew he was leaving Westview. Then, it got scary. Honestly, Vision walking into a town that had been frozen in time was horrifying. He himself is horrified. Vision finally figured out he is dead and wants to see what’s outside the dome of reality.

Agent Rambeau and Agent Woo uncover Shield’s tracking of Vision’s body signals. They decide they want back into the Wanda-bubble. Vision breaching the bubble was also freaking scary. He’s like ripped apart as his movement forward is resisted by the confines of Westview. Wanda reminds us in the end that this is all done because of her love for Vision. She has wrapped the entire town inside the life of being married to her love. S.W.O.R.D. is all but finished after Wanda expanded her false reality and virtually secured the remains of Vision. This sets up for a showdown between Wanda and Agent Heyward over the fate of Westview. He remains outside the sphere of Wanda after she virtually has eliminated all of S.W.O.R.D.’s agents from reality.
