I would love a She-Hulk series that has her doing court battles with Matt Murdock, but never mention or deal with the fact he is obviously Dare Devil or like they are just professional Lawyers doing their jobs...and don't even deal with She-Hulk even being a Hulk and fighting crime...that would just be a really funny concept to me.

I was really enjoying this episode until the end reveal.  I mean at the end of the day all the most basic plot twists have been very easily predicted and the story is feeling kinda shallow.  I love the themes of the show and I love the idea of going through grief and loss, but what is the end game?  That is still something that needs to be sorted out...and I can't wait to watch it, I am hoping for some surprises.

I am excited for this game.  As Splatoon 2 was a game I got into late and was really blown away by both online and single player modes.  Single player felt like a Mario Sunshine type obstacle courses that were tightly designed and fun to play. 

I really have high hopes for the single player in this game.  I would love for them to figure out a way to make a free exploration game in the Splatoon universe with Ink powers.  It could be really fun. 

I am hoping that Nintendo figures a way to just make everything backwards compatible going forward so whenever Switch Pro or Switch 2 comes out everything bought now will just work.  Digital and cart.

I would love a 35 Zelda game that is basically a dungeon rush of of the first Zelda game.  That would be super fun.

I loved the original NES Zelda but could never beat it.

The last episode has also made Agnes more sympathatic like maybe she isn't the big bad...I think someone else is pulling the strings...like Wanda is the puppet master, but also herself just a puppet.

I think the commercials are the clues.  So Yo-magic is obviously a yogurt commercial.  But, now the hint is
"Snacking on Your-Magic"
Yo-magic.

So my theory is whoever is the villain doesn't have control of Wanda or the world, but is consuming the magic and power of Wanda...I am sure this magic she is creating is leaking magic as well.  Or it could be her grief the villain is feeding off of? 

So is there a villain in the MCU that consumes magic or power, (Like DC's Parasite?) Or one that feeds on emotions?  That is my current bet...Perhaps WandaVision ends with the Villain getting enough power to break free of a prison or break into our world?  Since the rumors of Doctor Strange is that the villain is Nightmare I wonder what his power set is?

EDIT:  Nightmare is a nigh-omnipotent, nigh-omniscient and nigh-omnipresent entity who rules the Dream Dimension. He also has the ability to draw power from the psychic energies of the subconscious minds of dreaming beings.

Hmmm...seems like this could be the direction they go.

*Personally I hope we never get another Infinity Stones storyline.  But I like the idea of Vision being resurrected as a living Infinity Stone.  But I also don't want Vision to be resurrected because Marvel hasn't had a meaningful death until End Game.  And No Carson wasn't a meaningful death.  And no I don't believe Agents of Shield and his resurrection is Canon.

Anyway, my working theory now is that Agnes might be trying to resurrect the Infinity Stones. Or at least one Stone...that is interesting, because Vision's Brain was the Mind Stone.

You know, I have been thinking about his episode and I think they are trying to teach us about Wanda's powers as we go on.  Each episode has revealed something about what is happening and what she is doing.

1) We learn she has somehow created a virtual world that acts like a TV series.
2) We learn she can change events that happen in the episode.
3) We learn she can kick people out of the episode and that some people are aware they are trapped in this world.
4) Outside World breather where we verify it is Wanda's abilities
5) We learn that her telepathy kinda covers the real people's personality but it still lets some of it leak out. (That is my way of describing it.  We learn she can leave this world whenever she wants too.

In the 5th episode we have a lot of talk about death and she reveals she can't just bring someone back to life.  Agnes seems surprised and tries to push her to do this, but she insists she can't.  My theory is she isn't fully in control of her powers, that her powers are leaking out of her emotions, which makes her more dangerous.  I think she was missing her brother so much that when she couldn't bring him back to life because that isn't a power she contains...she pulled another Piettro out of another reality.  This is interesting because her powers could potentially open holes in the multiverse...and perhaps this is where Doctor Strange is heading...

The kids are also not under Wanda's control either.

And I think Agnes is the antogonist to Wanda steering her to make the "illusion" stay immersive and on track towards something.
And I also think they want to trick Wanda into resurrecting someone/thing, as something much larger is at play.

It seems like Wanda made some sort of deal (w/ the Devil?) to get where she's at now, but may not be quite aware of the nature of the repayment needed for services rendered.

The next 4 episodes are likely to be pretty crazy.
Ep6 is the 90's episode, so we should be getting some Full House/Family Matters vibe and it's also the Halloween episode.

Maybe there will some "kids" in the neighborhood finally, now that Vision called it out.
I mean this is all "For the Children" afterall.

I think you are going to get some Married with Children or Rosanne vibes from the 90s episode because things are falling apart.  Show some family fights and such.  Sure overall may be Full House but I think it is going to sidelined with some domestic fighting....which is definitely Rosanne.

It seems like the story beats Agnes is trying to trick Wanda into doing something, especially because Wanda's control seems to be unraveling and they need her to do something before it happens.

My guess is they want her to bring someone back to life...who I don't know.  And why I don't know.  But there are a bunch of great puzzle pieces in this episode. 

Wanda can freely enter and leave her illusion and she knows it isn't real.
Sword had been experimenting on Vision trying to understand the tech.
Agnes is somewhat free of Wanda's mind control and also seems to be manipulating Wanda.

Dixie Kong now! Dixie Kong tomorrow! Dixie Kong forever! I don't want an overly complex character that needs to manage odd traits. Dixie's name used to be on the front of game boxes! In Japan isn't it called Super Donkey Kong 2, Diddy & Dixie?

I would have imagined that by now Sakurai would have tried to revisit some of his Brawl Dixie ideas. It's been so long. Though I do have this suspicion that Nintendo as a whole is trying to raise her profile(well Donkey Kong's in general) especially after seeing the treatment she got for Mario Kart Tour. Smash is a logical step for some super secret grand plan.

I have to agree with this.  Some of these download characters have had very complex gimmicks that just aren't very fun.  I thought I would love but it just wasn't fun.  I want a simple Nintendo character that will be fun to play.  Though I must admit after saying all this, I loved Terry Bogart to death in Smash.

I understand.  I just wonder if perhaps just maybe the plans for Black Panther 2 got evolved after that filming announcement.  Maybe it is the series instead of a movie that will start filming then?  I also don't think everything announced will actually show next year, but honestly Disney + needs more.  A new series a week like you said is not enough to keep people subscribed.

BlacknMild:  True but those plans were before Chadwick passed away.  So they had to restart the writing process.  Perhaps in the making of the movie, they decided that a series would be better?  I mean honestly, the World of Wakanda would have a HUGE power vacuum after losing 2 leaders in such a short time...not to mention that the War for the Infinity Stones did not erase all the deaths spent defending Vision from Thanos, so the country lost probably thousands of warrior in that battle. 

I think a series exploring the Wakanda without the Black Panther would be great...like the flowers were burned save the one that helped the Black Panther get his powers back.  So what there is zero flowers for the power to be transferred and our Black Panther except for the suit was the last?  What if without the flower it is decided Wakanda doesn't need a single hero anymore?  How would the society change?  That would be a fun story.  It could end with the realization that Wakanda truly does need a new Black Panther, and a new one emerges and we don't know the identity of the hero.  Second season could explore the mystery to figure out who is the Panther.  Revealing the secret at the end...or midway depending on if they want a 3rd season.  3rd season could be the new mantel being earned and respected by all including the outside community. 

Sure this could easily be a single season show, but it could be extended.  I honestly would rather have less Marvel movies except for event movies and more Marvel TV shows.

My friend has a podcast that discusses Star Trek and faith.  If you guys are interested, he started the series with Lower Decks and went through Discovery Season 3...now he is in free wheeling through Star Trek.  He is kinda an original crew scholar of sorts.  The podcast is called The Gospel According to Star Trek.  And I know it sounds stuff, but it is really just two guys geeking out about Star Trek.

People judge Nintendo for their unique take on all age games.  But during the last year, Nintendo's bright colors and simple hopeful storytelling and games was just what the world needed. 

I truly hope Nintendo never changes because they really are one of the few companies that understands the value of this kinda of media.

BnM:  I like your assessment of the Mindstone unlocking a mutant X gene that may be in people but without some sort of outside force activating it it does nothing.  This could then lead to a massive X-gene activation with the Blip, and that would be very cool.  We are first seeing it activated with Scarlet Witch, but it could be happening other places at the same time.  Or you know, we could get the MORE Mutants element. From Scarlet Witch.  Maybe we have an accidental magic spell from Scarlet Witch.

Person:  What are you sort of freak?  A mutant, a monster?  You need to stop this.  You are hurting everyone.

Scarlet Witch in grief and anger:  A mutant?  If I am a freak, a monster...maybe we need more mutants!

We are already seeing that she is accidentally doing her chaos magic.  What would be pretty crazy is if they explain that her magic actually pulled character from an alternative universe, leaving that universe void of heroes and mutants.  That would be a fun thing to play around with, with Doctor Strange and Wanda together in his movie.

The thing is...just because he was introduced in a Children's show it doesn't mean they are going to keep him in that format of villian weakness.  And actually he was appropriately cool and evil in a new and different Star Wars way.  I think they can and will make him a good villain.

That said, this isn't really a new universe, but maybe, just maybe they will give the Manadaloran team enough freedom to do something really cool...maybe in re-write this universe or at least the ending of Star Wars Saga.  That would be nice.

Wandavision episode 2.  I would also like to point out that the blood color was the bright red color that is usually used for blood back then that is obviously not the color of real blood.  It was a nice touch. 

My second thought is that WandaVision really nailed the 3rd episode and really landed a fan.  I think the premise and show provide itself with that episode being both genuinely funny.  A perfect retro feeling TV show and satire, and mysterious.

First 2 episodes:  My review.  It is an interesting experiment.  It absolutely could not be done in movie and be this effective.  The style is brilliant but the jokes are hit and miss.  The jokes are classic but also has a tongue and cheek satirical nature to them, but it is kinda flat. 

However, this show also feels like LOST to me in that the intrigue is there and a mystery is present.  I can't wait to uncover that.
