What is the point of WandaVision?
WandaVision is a 2021 American television miniseries created for Disney+ by Jac Schaeffer. The series is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and centers on Wanda Maximoff (played by Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (played by Paul Bettany), as they navigate life in a series of 1950s-style sitcoms.
The point of WandaVision is to explore the character development of Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch, and her relationship with Vision. Throughout the series, Wanda struggles with grief, trauma, and feelings of isolation, as she uses her reality-warping abilities to create a seemingly perfect suburban life for herself and Vision. However, as the series progresses, the truth about the reality of their situation is gradually revealed, leading Wanda to confront the source of her pain and learn to accept it.
WandaVision also serves as a bridge between the events of the previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films and the upcoming film, "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." The series sets up the story for future events in the MCU, and provides further context for Wanda's character and her role in the franchise. Additionally, the series explores themes of loss, identity, and the human condition, making it a character-driven and thought-provoking addition to the MCU.
