okay I’m deleting Disney plus

How are you going to create a show where your antagonist is Agatha Harkness but you don't know who Mephisto is

That has to be a straight up lie

So how he think of the "Demon spawn" line without the history?

Nah f*** off

It doesn’t make any sense at all. Didn’t one of the people who worked on it said an idea was to turn Agathas rabbit into a demon at one point too?

Nahhhh

Like did he not read any source material before at all?

@GEOLINK @YANDHI

I’d THINK she’s lying and like trying to do MCU press style lies

But I read the full quote and it doesn’t seem like she’s kidding

Easier damage control would’ve just been like

‘we didn’t want him in the show but he is a big Wanda’s story within her comic book storylines and we wanted to touch on those aspects from a distance’ or SOMETHING else

The fly appearance alone would be hilarious if it was just a coincidence

I can’t with these interviews

DEADLINE: When you first pitched yourself for the job, how did you prepare for the meeting? Did you read House of M? Did you have this notion of mapping out the stages of grief? What did Marvel spark to and what was your angle?

SCHAEFFER: They sent me a bunch of the comics and I looked over them. I’m not a very good comic reader. I have a hard time digesting the storylines and I never know which cell to look at, and I don’t know, I’m a disappointment, perhaps, to the fandom in that way, but the imagery is always, of course, very startling and moving and inspiring, and it was Kevin Feige’s idea to marry Wanda and Vision to the sitcom world. So, I had those pieces to begin with, and then it was also their desire to explore her grief and that whatever happened in this series, this sitcom situation, was some sort of manifestation of her grief and her desire to live in this fantasy world.

What I brought was a structure for that. You know, having seen it in the comics, I thought that it would probably be fairly predictable if we told a linear story of, you know, Wanda is upset and she freaks out and she creates this false world and then it’s a sitcom. That didn’t seem interesting to me. It didn’t seem like an interesting watch. It felt a little kind of by the numbers and harder to dig into emotionally. So, I did pitch this idea that we start in this sitcom, and that we are with Wanda with not knowing what’s going on and that we plant red herrings and wonder if there’s some nefarious force that’s doing this to her, and that we’re with her in the discovery that it is her, you know? We start in denial with her and then we move into anger. It was part of my pitch that she can’t kick the Monica character out of the Hex, and that we move on from there, and that in the penultimate episode it would be her full discovery of the stages of her life and really how this happened, that she has to face that in order to move forward, and that’s really…you know, it’s sort of the idea that she has to go to the arsenal in order to have the weapons in order to vanquish the bad guy in the end. Well, in this case, it’s grief. So, she needed to look everything in its face in order to be armed with what she needed to triumph and heal at the end of the story.

I'm excited because wandavision wasn't perfect but as a first attempt at a tv show it was pretty great and I know fiege is taking notes we want more hints that actually pay off and more cross-overs and we'll probably get them with better execution as they sink into their new groove

Also no corona hiccups eventually

Seems like everyone involved is surprised by the extent to which people pored over every facet of the show

What the f***?..... f*** off Disney. I’m deleting this s***. Why is the MCU handing over such important marvel characters to morons on Disney Plus? F*** off MCU. Endgame was honestly your last good piece of entertainment. Don’t even know who Mephisto is?

Man really pulled the Thanos "I don't even know who you are" on all them fan theories holy s***

I loved it but ok

Tragic

I’m here for the shambles if it comes to it

Ok honest question... do you guys think the show would have been better with Mephisto or do you just want comic book cameos? I don’t know who Mephisto is but I have a hard time believing (based on everything I know from the MCU and about Wanda’s MCU portrayal) that if the bad guy in this show was the devil that it would have been nearly as satisfying as the story we got

nah that wouldve been a bit much. it seemed weird that Strange didnt show up tho cause this was some major magic f***ery but since this is segueing into his movie i guess they might explain why he wasnt around. they couldve stretched the show out a few more episodes to flesh some characters and subplots out, betting they will start doing so.

Falcon and Winter Soldier were probably two of my least fav characters in all of MCU. I see they are going for a buddy-action vibe with this but the jokes come off as a bit forced and lazy.

I'm setting my expectations low for this one. It'll be interesting to see how it fits into the larger MCU.

satan being a last min addition in the finale would have been ass
