My Wonderful Wanda

Max SchindlerMovie reviews,
Wanda (Agnieszka Grochowska) is a Polish caretaker who has left her own small children in Poland to look after Josef (André Jung) the stroke-ridden patriarch of the wealthy Wegmeister-Gloor dynasty. Wanda is adept in navigating the tricky family dynamics between the two grown (if still childish) offspring and the elegant if controlling matriarch Elsa (Marthe Keller), along with the sporadic intervention of animals stuffed or alive. But an unexpected turn of events turns everything upside down. Rated: Not RatedRelease Date: Apr 23, 2021

Doctor Strange 2: Elizabeth Olsen Teases Wanda’s “Bonkers” MCU Return

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Elizabeth Olsen didn’t get much of a break between her most recent Marvel Cinematic Universe gigs. The Scarlet Witch actress went straight from WandaVision reshoots in Burbank to the set of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in the U.K. With shooting on the Doctor Strange sequel set to end this week, Glamour caught up with Olsen for their April cover story, giving us one of our best glimpse into what Doctor Strange 2 will be yet. There hasn’t been much official news about the MCU sequel. Back in January, an unofficial synopsis emerged for Doctor Strange 2, to…

How WandaVision is Rewriting Our Understanding of Wanda Maximoff’s Story

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WANDAVISION spoilers. Despite its many still-lingering questions, WandaVision has made one thing crystal clear: Wanda Maximoff is truly the most powerful Avenger. Not just the woman who destroyed an Infinity Stone and almost single-handedly defeated Thanos, she’s also managed to somehow power an entire town built on false realities and resurrect her dead boyfriend at the same time. But even as the show reaffirms the scope of her power, it also acknowledges one other truth that is too often swept under the rug: Wanda Maximoff is also incredibly depressed. This shouldn’t really come as a surprise to…

How WandaVision Acknowledges the Scope of Wanda Maximoff’s Grief

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. Marvel’s WandaVision is many things: The story of one of comics’ most iconic couples, a love letter to the American sitcom, and a bizarre, genre-hopping mystery through an alternate – or altered, none of this is super clear just yet – reality. It’s also the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first real story about grief. Sure, sad things have happened in this franchise before: Multiple characters have died, in satisfyingly heroic (Tony Stark) and frustratingly sexist (Natasha Romanoff, Gamora) ways. Others bear lingering scars from the things that have happened to them, both physical (James  Rhodes) and…

Link Tank: Why WandaVision Should Acknowledge Wanda’s Romani Heritage

New DVD release, , , , ,
WandaVision has the opportunity to, and should, acknowledge Wanda Maximoff’s Romani heritage. “In an upcoming episode of WandaVision, our reality-warping not-mutant will be dressing up in a variant of her classic comic book costume, headpiece and all. During an interview with Still Watching/Vanity Fair, Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda) talked about fighting for this costume.” Read more at The Mary Sue.

WandaVision: Why Wanda Isn’t the Villain Of Her Own Story

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for WandaVision episode 4. We’re officially four episodes into WandaVision, and the situation in Westview is starting to heat up. But with more than half of the remaining season left yet to air (the first season consists of a planned nine episodes), there’s still so much more we don’t know.  Although the first three episodes were firmly ensconced in the sitcom-esque small-town reality that Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) find themselves in, with only the occasional blip to indicate that something strange is going on, episode 4, titled “We Interrupt This Program,” finally…

WandaVision: What Wanda’s Kids Mean for the Future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WANDAVISION Episode 3 spoilers, and potential spoilers for future episodes, the wider MCU, and Marvel Comics. I don’t think I’m overstepping when I say that WandaVision is a weird show. It’s intentionally cryptic and there’s a lot going on. It focuses on two characters who have been in several Marvel movies but never truly got the spotlight. Even their romantic relationship in those movies has come off as forced to viewers at times. For comic fans, it’s an easier pill to swallow because it’s something familiar from the comics. In the comics, the story of Vision and Scarlet Witch was that…
