“WandaVision” episodes 1 and 2 full of mysteries, a great challenge to the MCU brand!

Wanda and Vision's history so far

First, let's take a look back at the outline of "WandaVision." This is a drama series that centers on Wanda and Vision, who are members of the Avengers and are in love. The story begins with the two moving to a certain town as a couple, but a series of apparently inexplicable events occur...The story unfolds.

Wanda/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) are characters that appeared in [Phase 2] ` `Avengers: Age of Ultron '' (15).

Wanda was originally an assassin for Hydra, the Avengers' enemy organization. He is an enhanced human who gained the powers of telekinesis and mind control (brainwashing) through human experiments, and he tormented the Avengers, but the Avengers gave him a place to live and he reformed. From then on, he will act as a hero.

Vision was originally JARVIS, an AI (artificial intelligence) that supported Iron Man. After many twists and turns, he is given a body and takes on a second life as an android. It has various powers such as the ability to pass through objects, superhuman strength, and beams.

The two joined the Avengers at about the same time, and their friendship deepened further in Phase 3 of Captain America: Civil War (16). However, this work depicts the internal division of the Avengers over the Sokovia Accords (in which the Avengers were placed under the control of the United Nations), and there was a period of conflict between them, with Wanda on Captain America's side and Vision on Iron Man side. Put it away.

However, Wanda and Vision continue to act together afterward, as they are the same people who are "fearful of their own abilities." In `` Avengers: Infinity War '' (2018), Thanos, the most powerful enemy in history, makes a surprise attack on Vision's life source, the Mind Stone. In order to protect life in the entire universe, Wanda listens to Vision's wish and destroys the Mind Stone before Thanos, but Thanos rewinds time and even kills the revived Vision again. He himself was annihilated by Thanos' "finger snap"...

However, in " Avengers: Endgame " (2019), Wanda is revived. After demonstrating his strength to overwhelm Thanos and all the battles coming together, he remembers Clint/Hawkeye, who gave him the opportunity to join the Avengers, and those who left.

...And this is a very simple explanation of the path that Wanda and Vision have taken up to this point. For those who have followed the story up to this point, one would expect that ``WandaVision'' would be a difficult story because it is unnatural that Wanda and Vision are living together.・Episode 2 had a deeper mystery. In the next section, I will write about the contents of this work.
