Marvel Studios’ WandaVision blends the style of classic sitcoms with the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany)—two super-powered beings living their ideal suburban lives—begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems. (Disney+)

Although the Westview chapter may seem insignificant to the overall development of the universe, it is precisely an excursion into the overseas history of television comedy that definitively surpasses genre boundaries for the first time. Yes, in crucial moments, it is once again a Marvel movie that must have action or a battle, but complaining about that quality is the same as criticizing an episode of a series for focusing on a specific theme rather than foreign characters or plots. I am fascinated by how precisely the individual subgenres are captured, how quickly I am able to tune in to each new game, and how quickly it can freeze even disturbing images. Elizabeth Olsen deserved to steal the show for herself in Avengers: Age of Ultron or Avengers: Infinity War, and I am very glad that the leadership of the MCU took this desire to heart.

What a ride! WandaVision is an absolute gem with nothing to fault. I'm thrilled Marvel took a creative leap in Phase Four, delivering such a unique, one-season series. WandaVision overflows with creativity, keeping you guessing from the first episode, only to slowly reveal its brilliance. And just when you think you've figured it out, it wraps up perfectly, leaving you fully satisfied. I went into this with minimal expectations, which made discovering each episode's references and twists an absolute treat. By the time everything clicked, I was genuinely blown away by the writing. It’s been a while since a storyline caught me so off guard in the best way possible. If you’re a Marvel fan and haven't watched WandaVision yet, don’t hesitate—this might be the most original thing Marvel has ever done. It’s far from predictable, packed with homages to decades of television, and crafted with a love for cinema that I couldn’t help but appreciate.

WandaVision is a show that's great to talk about with friends, but not that much fun to watch. It's just that the fact that there's so much to talk about and discuss (be it aside from form, style, future implications for the MCU, theorizing over references and hints, there's no shortage of it; it's a shame that these theories and hints end up being more interesting than what they turn out to be) makes it considerably deceptive in the flesh and gives the impression that it's actually entertaining. But it's not, the fun is purely on that meta level of "around WandaVision and not about or in it".

I didn't expect Marvel to become drama anymore either. Ironically, the best episodes are the first two, where at least the humor works, but once it switches to a more serious note and starts discussing scientific, physical, and family bullshit, I found the show incredibly maddening. The action is only there in the last episode and it sucked. It felt like a cheap teen soap from the 2000's and it's boring as fuck on top of that. I fell asleep during four episodes out of nine and nothing has managed to do that in a long time. I suffered so much that I couldn't make it through more than two episodes in a day, and they are only half an hour long. Nothing for me and I'm honestly relieved it's over. 4/10.

A balanced, visually captivating spectacle with the powerful theme of family values. The unbelievable acting performances by Bethany and, mainly, Elizabeth Olsen does much to improve this first Marvel sitcom. The experimental nature of storytelling is entertaining and the bar is set very high.

This is the most mature of the MCU's individual projects. Along with Wanda and Vision, it's a sort of little history of American television in a nutshell that every mainstream viewer should get to know so that they can learn what they're a part of.

The elementary logic does falter mightily, especially in the end, when many characters just stand idly by as it suits the creators, but otherwise, as an original pun from the world of comic pages, which already encompasses the history of the film medium, it’s quite entertaining and above all brisk. The half-hour formats are just right, and it's nice to focus on the almost ancient tragedy of Wanda, which works thanks to the good actors (the heroine's final dilemma resonates more strongly than the finale of Spider-Man: No Way Home). The special effects are pretty lousy in places and the reveal of the villain's identity won't get you out of your chair, but WandaVision will guarantee you a pleasant afternoon – the condition is, of course, that you like the MCU and are a fan of genre exhibitions that few people dare to do nowadays. 70 %

Although I have watched all the MCU feature films, I have avoided the series so far (for time reasons), but in the case of WandaVision I decided to make an exception, as I was hooked by the appealing theme and the extremely likable cast. (Spoiler alert!) WandaVision is undoubtedly a superlative series project and an unconventional genre hybrid in one – in nine episodes we get a traditional sitcom, a superhero romance, as well as dark fantasy and family drama. Unlike the MCU films, which rely mainly on flashy (and for some, perhaps overwrought) audiovisuals, WandaVision tries to work properly with the characters and goes deep – even if at times the creators pushed their feelings, I ate it up hook, line and sinker. Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen were both very likeable and the chemistry between them worked well, as I've seen from previous films. They were well supported by Kat Dennings, Teyonah Parris and Kathryn Hahn (at times slightly theatrical). I was intrigued (and also moved to some extent) by the motivations of the characters that drove the plot forward. Alongside this, I enjoyed the subtle (but still satisfying) connections to previous MCU projects, and I also enjoyed the building of the witch mythology. Despite a few weaker moments, I'm ultimately happy with the series.

Excellent Paul Bettany and especially Elizabeth Olsen in what seems to be an entertaining and original series in which you can enjoy various winks and references to events from the MCU and X-Men. As always, it gives rise to discussions and theories as to what each event refers to and what it will lead to in the future. However, the series finale fully shows that this is another generic Marvel story all the way, only spread out into 9 episodes. I wouldn’t mind the nice, but logically cheaper visuals compared to the movies, but what is much harder to see past is the fact that, apart from the three main characters, the rest of the acting performances are straight out of the dumbest DC series from the CW.
