WandaVision (belated review)

So, once I got Disney+ I went straight to Loki, because I like Tom Hiddleston and have always been fascinated by the character. And I enjoyed that series a lot, especially because of how it felt very much like RTD Doctor Who (and was so much more engaging than recent seasons of DW!), but it fell very flat in several episodes and I wasn't as excited by it as I expected.

So after that I watched WandaVision. And wow. I mean, wow. Especially once I got to the fourth episode and the world outside Wanda's sitcom heaven/hell (depending on your perspective). So fascinating. So much to think about. So many references that I only got thanks to Den of Geek, but that's okay. The thing is, it was so much more than clever, it had heart as well. I'd never been particularly interested in Wanda so I was mainly there for Paul Bettany, but Elizabeth Olsen really drew me in with her wonderfully nuanced portrayal of this damaged, grieving, incredibly powerful character, and now I love Wanda too! Can't really ask more than that, can you?

Can't wait to go back and watch it all again, with hindsight!

P.S. I'm also 3 episodes into The Falcon and the Winter Solder but so far it hasn't grabbed me. I like Sam and Bucky well enough (Sam more than Bucky) but neither of them to me really has the star quality to lead a show. Still, I shall carry on with it and see if it too surprises me by the end! :-)

P.P.S. I just realised I still have NO MCU icons. Seriously, where does one go for specific icons these days???
