<v Speaker 2>So We're going to take you all the way through

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:38.940

<v Speaker 2>So that's Vision himself, Wanda, but also the AI Jarvis, Ultron,

<v Speaker 2>and many others, the kids, and take you up all

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 2>the way to the end of Agatha all along. So

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.890
<v Speaker 2>you are ready for Vision Quest and don't have to watch.

0:01:59.260 --> 0:02:04.620
<v Speaker 2>you know, three, four movies plus like two long TV,

0:02:04.860 --> 0:02:08.940
<v Speaker 2>long but excellent TV series. And honestly, you kind of

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.859
<v Speaker 2>do have to start at the beginning with all of

0:02:10.940 --> 0:02:14.500
<v Speaker 2>these folks. So let's start with Avengers Age of Ultron.

0:02:15.260 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's favorite movie.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.359
<v Speaker 2>I like it, actually. There's some fun stuff in here.

0:02:20.700 --> 0:02:25.540
<v Speaker 1>We are defenders, for sure. It is really funny.

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.090
<v Speaker 3>And I think this is the proof that the MCU

0:02:29.169 --> 0:02:33.790
<v Speaker 3>has already been doing Dave Filoni-esque rewrites. Because we're starting

0:02:33.870 --> 0:02:37.070
<v Speaker 3>from somewhere that people saw as a weak point in

0:02:37.110 --> 0:02:39.210
<v Speaker 3>the MCU, but we are talking about some of the

0:02:39.330 --> 0:02:41.389
<v Speaker 3>strongest characters and best storytelling.

0:02:41.470 --> 0:02:43.970
<v Speaker 2>Well, the other thing I was thinking researching this and

0:02:44.530 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>cobbling together this recap from all my other previous recaps

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>is that we've really entered with Marvel a phase where

0:02:53.020 --> 0:02:58.660
<v Speaker 2>it's It would be, I guess, akin to the Silver

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.889
<v Speaker 2>Age in actual comics when the continuity had already become

0:03:03.290 --> 0:03:06.270
<v Speaker 2>kind of complicated. And in order to trace all the connections,

0:03:06.290 --> 0:03:08.790
<v Speaker 2>you would have to go back and be like, okay, well,

0:03:08.850 --> 0:03:12.649
<v Speaker 2>in this comic, this happened. Exactly. Okay, so we open

0:03:12.690 --> 0:03:17.209
<v Speaker 2>in Sokovia, Avengers Age of Ultron. The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D.

0:03:17.270 --> 0:03:21.630
<v Speaker 2>had lost track of Loki's scepter, remember? Mm-hmm. And it

0:03:21.810 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>ended up at a Hydra base where Baron Strucker was

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 2>using it to give test subjects powers to attempt to

0:03:31.139 --> 0:03:37.370
<v Speaker 2>create a series of Hydra super soldiers. And the two

0:03:37.630 --> 0:03:43.030
<v Speaker 2>test subjects that survived were these twins, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff.

0:03:43.740 --> 0:03:48.030
<v Speaker 3>Okay, just need to say, this cut scene got played

0:03:48.210 --> 0:03:49.370
<v Speaker 3>like fucking.

0:03:49.010 --> 0:03:50.310
<v Speaker 1>Gangbusters in my house.

0:03:50.370 --> 0:03:51.170
<v Speaker 2>It did, it really did.

0:03:51.510 --> 0:03:54.570
<v Speaker 3>The way that we rewatched this over and over again,

0:03:54.670 --> 0:03:56.350
<v Speaker 3>these are our MCU X-Men.

0:03:56.670 --> 0:03:59.050
<v Speaker 1>You know, they didn't call them that, and they said,

0:03:59.090 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>this is the Age of Miracles, right? Instead of the

0:04:01.420 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Age of Music.

0:04:01.980 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>The Age of Miracles!

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.660
<v Speaker 1>But we all knew, we were like, oh my God,

0:04:05.700 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>they're here, they're here. It was such a sick scene.

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:14.410
<v Speaker 2>So, Wanda is, you know, can... manipulate reality. We will,

0:04:14.790 --> 0:04:17.210
<v Speaker 2>of course, discover more about her powers, but at this

0:04:17.270 --> 0:04:20.210
<v Speaker 2>point in time, it's mostly like telekinesis and a kind

0:04:20.230 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 2>of telepathy. And then, of course, Pietro is very, very fast.

0:04:24.060 --> 0:04:28.020
<v Speaker 2>They volunteered, we will find out later, in the events

0:04:28.260 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 2>of WandaVision, because Sokovia was war-torn and like a artillery

0:04:35.900 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>shell when they landed in their apartment, and it was

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 2>a Stark Industries artillery shell. So they just kind of

0:04:42.810 --> 0:04:44.630
<v Speaker 2>want to power up so they can get revenge on

0:04:44.690 --> 0:04:45.150
<v Speaker 2>Tony Stark.

0:04:45.470 --> 0:04:47.770
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because there were two.

0:04:48.010 --> 0:04:49.990
<v Speaker 3>One hit and killed their parents, and the other one

0:04:50.029 --> 0:04:53.469
<v Speaker 3>didn't hit, which we could learn and guess was when

0:04:53.490 --> 0:04:56.700
<v Speaker 3>they started implying that maybe Wanda had had free powers,

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:58.580
<v Speaker 3>because we saw in WandaVision.

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>This is probably why the Mind Stone, which is the

0:05:03.060 --> 0:05:06.339
<v Speaker 2>gem that powers Loki's scepter, actually worked on them. Okay, so...

0:05:06.930 --> 0:05:08.940
<v Speaker 2>The Avengers win, they take the scepter, but on the

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>way out, Wanda puts her little hex mojo into Tony's head.

0:05:14.700 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>He begins having visions that will actually eventually bear fruit

0:05:19.540 --> 0:05:22.340
<v Speaker 2>during the Thanos saga. He sees the Avengers dead, he

0:05:22.380 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 2>sees Earth invaded again. She does the same thing to Thor.

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:33.270
<v Speaker 2>At Avengers Tower, they scan the gem. And Jarvis, Tony's AI,

0:05:33.610 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 2>who is named after... Tony's father's butler sees that the gem,

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 2>which is the Mind Stone again, has like a AI,

0:05:42.380 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>something like an AI inside of it. It's basically conscious.

0:05:46.100 --> 0:05:49.100
<v Speaker 2>And although nobody knows anything about the Infinity Stones yet.

0:05:49.540 --> 0:05:51.310
<v Speaker 2>So Tony's like, oh, perfect.

0:05:52.050 --> 0:05:52.550
<v Speaker 1>I've been.

0:05:53.740 --> 0:05:57.700
<v Speaker 2>creating this program, this AI program that's, you know, my

0:05:57.779 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 2>suit of armor around the world program, right? The super

0:06:01.500 --> 0:06:03.610
<v Speaker 2>defense program that it's like set it and forget it.

0:06:03.610 --> 0:06:04.610
<v Speaker 1>The Iron Man dome.

0:06:04.770 --> 0:06:07.690
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it just like knows what to target and

0:06:07.730 --> 0:06:10.670
<v Speaker 2>knows all the stuff. And this is maybe, so I'll

0:06:10.810 --> 0:06:16.150
<v Speaker 2>use the gem. To finish my Ultron project. And by

0:06:16.190 --> 0:06:17.910
<v Speaker 2>the way, I'm not going to mention this to the

0:06:17.970 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 2>rest of the team. I'm just going to do it.

0:06:19.330 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 2>They're not smart enough to understand it anyway.

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 3>When I was rewatching this, right, can I just say,

0:06:25.220 --> 0:06:29.720
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Tony, the way I would be so pissed.

0:06:31.430 --> 0:06:34.429
<v Speaker 3>if I knew that you took the thing that Loki

0:06:34.450 --> 0:06:37.369
<v Speaker 3>had been using to control everyone and you were like, Hey,

0:06:37.450 --> 0:06:39.830
<v Speaker 3>maybe I'll just, maybe I'll just use it for my

0:06:39.870 --> 0:06:40.549
<v Speaker 3>weapons program.

0:06:40.650 --> 0:06:41.150
<v Speaker 1>I'd kill him.

0:06:41.350 --> 0:06:41.810
<v Speaker 2>Honestly.

0:06:41.870 --> 0:06:43.770
<v Speaker 1>Like, I don't know. He put him in jail.

0:06:44.190 --> 0:06:47.250
<v Speaker 2>This is the, the, the seeds of civil war are

0:06:47.270 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 2>planted here because you know, not of course Sokovia and

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 2>all that, but the schism between Cap and Tony and

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:57.260
<v Speaker 2>just Tony's, he, he acts holier than thou when we

0:06:57.300 --> 0:07:00.080
<v Speaker 2>get to civil war. But he's just fucking up and

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>doing all kinds of reckless shit here. Very, very reckless.

0:07:03.460 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 2>So Ultron comes alive as the Avengers are having their

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.350
<v Speaker 2>little cocktail party out in the penthouse, you know, trying

0:07:12.370 --> 0:07:16.010
<v Speaker 2>to lift a hammer. It's wonderful. And he, you know,

0:07:16.030 --> 0:07:18.290
<v Speaker 2>he comes stumbling out in this kind of cobbled together

0:07:18.730 --> 0:07:22.610
<v Speaker 2>Frankenstein body. He had already kind of like devoured Jarvis completely.

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.179
<v Speaker 3>He thought he killed Jarvis, but he had just taken

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 3>a certain information.

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Jarvis fled into the internet to not be devoured by Ultron.

0:07:32.380 --> 0:07:33.220
<v Speaker 1>Don't we all.

0:07:33.500 --> 0:07:36.380
<v Speaker 2>Yes. And there's a kind of big fight, but the

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.690
<v Speaker 2>Avengers kind of win, but of course Ultron has escaped.

0:07:39.030 --> 0:07:42.830
<v Speaker 2>So Ultron is now trying to, one, get the nuclear

0:07:42.850 --> 0:07:46.310
<v Speaker 2>launch codes to be able to hold the world hostage.

0:07:46.890 --> 0:07:51.740
<v Speaker 2>And a subplot of this is, Tony is realizing that

0:07:51.940 --> 0:07:54.820
<v Speaker 2>they have some hacker ally out in the internet who

0:07:55.020 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 2>keeps changing the launch codes. This, they will discover, is

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Jarvis secretly working on the internet. Ultron wants to build

0:08:02.940 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 2>himself a very powerful android body. So he recruits Wanda

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:12.910
<v Speaker 2>and Pietro, steals a whole load of vibranium, and then,

0:08:13.170 --> 0:08:17.350
<v Speaker 2>in soul, uses the scepter to control Dr. Helen Cho,

0:08:17.450 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 2>who is- Oh yeah, sorry for that, lady. Scientist, yeah.

0:08:21.300 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Amadeus chose mom?

0:08:23.500 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Amadeus chose mom. That's what I think we thought

0:08:26.460 --> 0:08:30.410
<v Speaker 2>at the time, certainly, right? And has her grow him

0:08:30.470 --> 0:08:37.170
<v Speaker 2>this kind of bio-vibranium body in her regeneration cradle? It's

0:08:37.490 --> 0:08:41.340
<v Speaker 2>like a weave of synthetic tissue, vibranium, and the mind

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:46.740
<v Speaker 2>stone that acts almost like a synthetic human. And he's

0:08:46.860 --> 0:08:50.830
<v Speaker 2>uploading his... his brain into this. And there's the whole fight,

0:08:51.170 --> 0:08:55.650
<v Speaker 2>you know, across the cityscape of Sol. But during the upload,

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.780
<v Speaker 2>Wanda reads Ultron's mind and is like, wait a second,

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:00.660
<v Speaker 2>you want to blow up? Hold on. You want to

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:05.020
<v Speaker 2>nuke the world? I'm switching sides. So she switches sides with,

0:09:05.140 --> 0:09:07.599
<v Speaker 2>and Pietro, of course, comes with her. They free Cho

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.680
<v Speaker 2>and the Avengers get the vibranium body in the cradle.

0:09:12.300 --> 0:09:13.900
<v Speaker 1>I want to point out two things here.

0:09:14.450 --> 0:09:19.170
<v Speaker 3>One, I do love that in sci-fi, it is acknowledged

0:09:19.290 --> 0:09:21.990
<v Speaker 3>that if any AI got access to the internet, they

0:09:22.010 --> 0:09:23.309
<v Speaker 3>would just say, kill humans.

0:09:23.370 --> 0:09:25.890
<v Speaker 1>They're bad. Like, not good stuff. Hilarious.

0:09:25.990 --> 0:09:27.090
<v Speaker 2>Well, Travis is helping.

0:09:27.110 --> 0:09:28.290
<v Speaker 1>Travis is helping.

0:09:28.330 --> 0:09:30.290
<v Speaker 3>No, but also, can I say, if we're talking about

0:09:30.429 --> 0:09:33.050
<v Speaker 3>the MCU and the way that they get us used

0:09:33.070 --> 0:09:36.650
<v Speaker 3>to scary stuff, the fact that there is a private.

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>billionaires AI online.

0:09:39.940 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 3>That's going around changing nuclear codes kind of reads.

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.250
<v Speaker 1>Differently in 2026.

0:09:44.250 --> 0:09:48.010
<v Speaker 3>But the thing I really want to highlight that works here,

0:09:48.050 --> 0:09:50.809
<v Speaker 3>and this is what the MCU and all the weird

0:09:50.870 --> 0:09:55.069
<v Speaker 3>business machinations gave us, how fucking cool is it that

0:09:55.110 --> 0:09:59.410
<v Speaker 3>vibranium was their go-to instead of adamantium, right? Because they

0:09:59.470 --> 0:10:02.780
<v Speaker 3>didn't have the X-Men, so it made them build Black

0:10:02.820 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 3>Panther into the hero that he should always have been

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 3>in the MCU, Vibranium into the power source. And yeah,

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.300
<v Speaker 3>I think it's so cool, even when you're looking back

0:10:11.340 --> 0:10:14.380
<v Speaker 3>at these older pre-Black Panther movies and you go, fuck,

0:10:14.450 --> 0:10:18.010
<v Speaker 3>that was a narrative licensing issue, but it fucking builds

0:10:18.110 --> 0:10:20.470
<v Speaker 3>to the point where- you're going to have to reintroduce

0:10:20.550 --> 0:10:23.230
<v Speaker 3>adamantium as something that's even close, right?

0:10:23.330 --> 0:10:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Like they did such a good job introducing its power.

0:10:27.220 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Wolverine! It just makes you think of Stregger. Adamantium. If

0:10:33.660 --> 0:10:37.720
<v Speaker 2>you can break it down into its pure liquid form.

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Bring Brian Cox back.

0:10:39.420 --> 0:10:43.110
<v Speaker 2>Bring Brian Cox back. Okay, so the Avengers now have

0:10:43.150 --> 0:10:45.490
<v Speaker 2>the synthetic body in the cradle. And of course, Tony

0:10:45.530 --> 0:10:47.510
<v Speaker 2>with this fucking synthetic body immediately.

0:10:47.550 --> 0:10:48.210
<v Speaker 1>What's his idea?

0:10:48.250 --> 0:10:48.550
<v Speaker 2>He's like.

0:10:48.570 --> 0:10:49.210
<v Speaker 1>Motherfucker.

0:10:49.410 --> 0:10:54.330
<v Speaker 2>Oh, perfect. I'm going to put Jarmus in it. So Tony,

0:10:54.370 --> 0:10:57.770
<v Speaker 2>without consulting the rest of the team, corners Banner and

0:10:57.830 --> 0:11:00.390
<v Speaker 2>is like, Banner, guess what? I figured out who the

0:11:00.429 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 2>secret hacker that's been helping us is. It's Jarvis. He's alive.

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.839
<v Speaker 2>And then he pulls Jarvis in with the hologram and

0:11:05.860 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Jarvis is like, hello, Dr.

0:11:06.820 --> 0:11:07.020
<v Speaker 3>Banner.

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.939
<v Speaker 2>And Tony's like, here's what we're going to do. We're

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 2>going to put Jarvis in this body. So Ultron can't,

0:11:14.620 --> 0:11:17.190
<v Speaker 2>it'd be like the last chair in musical chairs. Like

0:11:17.210 --> 0:11:20.090
<v Speaker 2>now Ultron's gone. He can't, you know, he can't have

0:11:20.110 --> 0:11:20.550
<v Speaker 2>this body.

0:11:20.570 --> 0:11:21.970
<v Speaker 1>Can't get in the body?

0:11:21.990 --> 0:11:22.609
<v Speaker 3>Put anyone in there.

0:11:22.650 --> 0:11:23.309
<v Speaker 1>Put anyone in there.

0:11:23.750 --> 0:11:26.210
<v Speaker 2>It'll be our, it'll be our guy. It'll be Jarvis

0:11:26.250 --> 0:11:30.199
<v Speaker 2>in the body. And, Banner's like, I don't know. And

0:11:30.220 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Tony's like, no, no, you got to do it. And

0:11:31.980 --> 0:11:35.500
<v Speaker 2>by the way, this is not my field. You are

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>the bioengineering guy. Stop fucking glazing him. Science glaze.

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>You got it.

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.679
<v Speaker 2>So they're doing it. They're uploading Jarvis into the body.

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.780
<v Speaker 2>Cap comes in with Wanda and Pietro, who he now believes.

0:11:50.250 --> 0:11:52.190
<v Speaker 2>He's like, well, they helped us in the soul fight

0:11:52.210 --> 0:11:53.610
<v Speaker 2>and they're good now. And I just 100% trust them.

0:11:54.690 --> 0:11:57.410
<v Speaker 2>And Cap comes in and is like, hey, buddy, what

0:11:57.470 --> 0:12:00.790
<v Speaker 2>are you doing? I can't believe this, Tony. You stop

0:12:00.809 --> 0:12:01.530
<v Speaker 2>this now.

0:12:01.570 --> 0:12:03.190
<v Speaker 1>You stop that, you annoying boy.

0:12:03.210 --> 0:12:07.589
<v Speaker 2>The grab is going up. Pietro goes around and just

0:12:07.690 --> 0:12:11.929
<v Speaker 2>unplugs all the cords. There's a big fight in the lab, right?

0:12:12.050 --> 0:12:15.830
<v Speaker 2>And this is, again, precursor of Civil War where everybody's

0:12:15.910 --> 0:12:17.950
<v Speaker 2>fighting in the lab and they're trying to make sure

0:12:18.010 --> 0:12:21.270
<v Speaker 2>that the body doesn't upload to the Jarvis because Tony's

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.130
<v Speaker 2>going to fuck up again. And it's all kind of

0:12:24.190 --> 0:12:27.770
<v Speaker 2>bubbling over the top. But then Thor just comes in, manic.

0:12:27.850 --> 0:12:28.310
<v Speaker 1>Love this.

0:12:28.530 --> 0:12:33.270
<v Speaker 2>Because he's had a vision because of the Wanda hex.

0:12:33.390 --> 0:12:36.610
<v Speaker 2>He's had a vision. That's the mind stone. That's the

0:12:36.670 --> 0:12:40.370
<v Speaker 2>thing that is in the scepter. And it's, you know,

0:12:40.550 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 2>one of the most important weapons in all of the reality.

0:12:44.890 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's an infinity stone. It's very important. And

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 2>somehow it's going to help them in the fights to come.

0:12:50.550 --> 0:12:56.819
<v Speaker 2>And he just, without saying anything, conjures the lightning, imbues, like,

0:12:56.900 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the body with this huge charge of lightning. And then fucking...

0:13:01.970 --> 0:13:04.270
<v Speaker 2>Vision pops out. And Vision's like, guess what, guys?

0:13:04.330 --> 0:13:04.630
<v Speaker 1>I'm good.

0:13:04.690 --> 0:13:05.590
<v Speaker 2>I swear to God.

0:13:05.610 --> 0:13:06.450
<v Speaker 1>I swear to God.

0:13:06.950 --> 0:13:10.770
<v Speaker 2>I am Jarvis's voice. And if you don't believe it, like,

0:13:10.870 --> 0:13:13.410
<v Speaker 2>watch this. And he picks up Yolnir and hands it

0:13:13.450 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 2>to Thor. And they're like, okay, I guess he's a

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:15.510
<v Speaker 2>good guy.

0:13:15.910 --> 0:13:18.459
<v Speaker 3>I gotta say, first of all, I'm sorry, guys. No

0:13:18.500 --> 0:13:20.740
<v Speaker 3>surprise I'm yapping on this one. I love these characters.

0:13:21.740 --> 0:13:24.380
<v Speaker 3>two things two things one i love the birth scene

0:13:24.540 --> 0:13:28.340
<v Speaker 3>i love that he is banners tony's and thor's son

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 3>it makes it so different it's really cool it plays

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:36.780
<v Speaker 3>the hell and show the one mom i also want

0:13:36.820 --> 0:13:38.380
<v Speaker 3>they should have put more of her brain in there

0:13:38.420 --> 0:13:40.960
<v Speaker 3>i think something that's cool is we see how throughout

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:45.699
<v Speaker 3>the story vision actually reflects bruce's thoughtfulness his love.

0:13:45.380 --> 0:13:48.450
<v Speaker 1>His empathy He reflects Tony's arrogance sometimes.

0:13:48.570 --> 0:13:52.010
<v Speaker 3>And also he has that magic element and the science element.

0:13:52.330 --> 0:13:53.810
<v Speaker 3>But I'm going to tell you something that hit me

0:13:53.990 --> 0:13:59.449
<v Speaker 3>so hard, Jason, after watching Endgame. I actually think, and again, retcon,

0:13:59.530 --> 0:14:01.630
<v Speaker 3>but watch it with this lens next time, guys. It's

0:14:01.650 --> 0:14:04.190
<v Speaker 3>going to blow your mind. When Thor comes in and

0:14:04.250 --> 0:14:09.229
<v Speaker 3>destroys the Mind Stone... that's the stone that ends everything

0:14:09.270 --> 0:14:13.170
<v Speaker 3>in Infinity. That's the stone that Wanda doesn't get to destroy.

0:14:13.610 --> 0:14:16.069
<v Speaker 3>It felt to me like his vision was trying to

0:14:16.110 --> 0:14:17.170
<v Speaker 3>tell him, destroy it now.

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Like, you have to destroy it now. And I, right

0:14:21.300 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>after we did Endgame, I was like, fuck.

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:28.140
<v Speaker 3>That actually hits way harder. But also, again, it gives

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:33.150
<v Speaker 3>vision this new... body, this new origin story. And I

0:14:33.170 --> 0:14:34.820
<v Speaker 3>think it's one of the coolest things they did from

0:14:34.860 --> 0:14:35.250
<v Speaker 3>the movies.

0:14:35.740 --> 0:14:40.220
<v Speaker 2>I agree. The Avengers fight Ultron and Sokovia. And remember,

0:14:40.260 --> 0:14:43.180
<v Speaker 2>his whole plan was to lift all of Sokovia up

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 2>into the sky and then, like a bullet, shoot it

0:14:47.060 --> 0:14:49.420
<v Speaker 2>down into the earth and destroy.

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Life on Earth.

0:14:50.140 --> 0:14:52.540
<v Speaker 3>He's got the nuclear codes, but he's going to do

0:14:52.570 --> 0:14:55.790
<v Speaker 3>that because something has to drop out of the sky.

0:14:56.070 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 2>So the Avengers win, but of course, Pietro dies. And

0:14:59.780 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Vision catches.

0:15:00.420 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Shot by a bullet.

0:15:01.220 --> 0:15:01.620
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't make sense.

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Shot by a bullet.

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.580
<v Speaker 2>He couldn't evade it because he wasn't fast enough. Didn't

0:15:04.620 --> 0:15:08.540
<v Speaker 2>make sense. Bring him back at some point. Please. Wanda,

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, is heartbroken. She falls. Vision does catch her.

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 2>So they're starting to catch a vibe even then. You know,

0:15:15.140 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 2>he was there for her in her lowest point. And

0:15:19.700 --> 0:15:22.580
<v Speaker 2>in the forest after the fight, we have this father

0:15:22.620 --> 0:15:26.500
<v Speaker 2>and son confrontation. Vision... And Ultron. Ultron's like all banged

0:15:26.610 --> 0:15:28.810
<v Speaker 2>up after the big fight with all his bodies and

0:15:28.830 --> 0:15:32.570
<v Speaker 2>the Avengers. And they talk about humanity. And Ultron's like,

0:15:32.710 --> 0:15:36.260
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can't save... humanity and Vision's like, yeah,

0:15:36.350 --> 0:15:40.430
<v Speaker 2>but a thing that's beautiful, it isn't beautiful because it lasts.

0:15:40.550 --> 0:15:44.330
<v Speaker 2>And then he fires the Mind Stone at Ultron. And crucially,

0:15:44.450 --> 0:15:46.210
<v Speaker 2>and I never really thought about this before.

0:15:46.250 --> 0:15:46.510
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:46.710 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Until I was rewatching the stuff. Ultron dies. It cuts away.

0:15:50.340 --> 0:15:53.180
<v Speaker 2>You don't see his body melt down. So we don't

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 2>actually know. And now we know that obviously that Ultron

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.300
<v Speaker 2>exists in Vision's mind. And we think it makes sense

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 2>because of the way Vision was created, but also, something

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.060
<v Speaker 2>might have happened fishy here. Something fishy might have happened

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:09.300
<v Speaker 2>right here.

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying he shoots the Mind Stone at Ultron, and

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.220
<v Speaker 3>then the next thing we know, we're gonna see Ultron

0:16:16.260 --> 0:16:20.020
<v Speaker 3>living in his mind. I also wanna say, you were smart, Jason,

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.150
<v Speaker 3>to highlight the difference between Jarvis here, the difference between

0:16:23.190 --> 0:16:25.990
<v Speaker 3>the original Jarvis, because we know that that is gonna

0:16:26.410 --> 0:16:30.490
<v Speaker 3>play in And I'm so interested.

0:16:30.070 --> 0:16:31.310
<v Speaker 1>To see what they do.

0:16:31.690 --> 0:16:32.110
<v Speaker 2>Me too.

0:16:32.390 --> 0:16:34.250
<v Speaker 3>With the Ultron of it all, because they seem like

0:16:34.270 --> 0:16:36.250
<v Speaker 3>they're going to be playing into this idea that Ultron

0:16:36.290 --> 0:16:39.390
<v Speaker 3>feels like he's Billy and Tommy's granddad, which they did

0:16:39.410 --> 0:16:41.420
<v Speaker 3>in the comics too, right? There was a version of

0:16:41.460 --> 0:16:44.380
<v Speaker 3>him being a grandfather. I'm very interested to see that.

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 2>So this movie ends with the new Avengers lineup, Captain America, Natasha, Rhodes, Sam, Wanda,

0:16:54.940 --> 0:17:00.730
<v Speaker 2>and Vision. We go to Avengers Civil War. Lagos, Nigeria.

0:17:00.750 --> 0:17:04.649
<v Speaker 2>Go anywhere else! Please! Cav's team is trying to stop,

0:17:05.170 --> 0:17:11.969
<v Speaker 2>you know, Crossbones, ex-Shield agent, ex-Hydra undercover agent, now a

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 2>terrorist for hire, Crossbones, from stealing a biological weapon. He

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.719
<v Speaker 2>sets off a suicide bomb. Wanda basically, you know, stops

0:17:18.780 --> 0:17:21.340
<v Speaker 2>the blast from blowing up and puts it like in

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.859
<v Speaker 2>a bubble... Of force and then throws the bubble up

0:17:24.900 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 2>in the air. But sadly, it goes off and it

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.100
<v Speaker 2>destroys a building and many civilians die. And now the

0:17:30.140 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 2>world is like, we've had enough.

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Of these guys.

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Let's do the Sokovia Accords and put the Avengers under control.

0:17:35.980 --> 0:17:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Tony is very pro Sokovia Accords. He kind of, without

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:46.550
<v Speaker 2>Wanda realizing it, puts her... in jail. Like it's basically like, Hey,

0:17:46.570 --> 0:17:49.090
<v Speaker 2>don't leave the mansion. But like, doesn't really tell her

0:17:49.150 --> 0:17:51.970
<v Speaker 2>that there are security features to keep you from leaving.

0:17:52.010 --> 0:17:55.149
<v Speaker 2>And also I've, I've told vision to not. Yeah.

0:17:55.690 --> 0:17:59.160
<v Speaker 3>It's very, it's very Charles Xavier. It's very Charles and Jean.

0:17:59.220 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 3>He puts these kinds of boundaries in. She doesn't know about,

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 3>he really sets the stage for her feeling like she

0:18:05.540 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 3>can't trust.

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:06.899
<v Speaker 1>Him, which she can't.

0:18:06.940 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 3>And I have to say again, great representation of something

0:18:11.740 --> 0:18:14.550
<v Speaker 3>that the comics did very differently. But this is still

0:18:14.609 --> 0:18:17.990
<v Speaker 3>one of the biggest talking points in MCU fandom, just

0:18:18.030 --> 0:18:18.890
<v Speaker 3>like the comics were.

0:18:19.490 --> 0:18:20.210
<v Speaker 1>Who was right?

0:18:20.350 --> 0:18:22.650
<v Speaker 3>Whose side would you be on? Jason, we talk about

0:18:22.670 --> 0:18:24.730
<v Speaker 3>this all the time. There's a real life version of

0:18:24.790 --> 0:18:27.669
<v Speaker 3>it you could imagine. There's an in-world version. But it's

0:18:27.710 --> 0:18:30.210
<v Speaker 3>just hard not to see this as another part of

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Tony's arrogance and Tony's surety that he's right, rather than

0:18:34.060 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 3>creating a council.

0:18:36.100 --> 0:18:38.100
<v Speaker 2>Like, why was it just boom? He just takes it

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.160
<v Speaker 2>on himself. He takes it on himself.

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.530
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't bring in the Wakandans, who are obviously impacted

0:18:44.590 --> 0:18:45.109
<v Speaker 1>by this.

0:18:45.310 --> 0:18:48.670
<v Speaker 2>Again. This is a problem that he created that he's

0:18:48.690 --> 0:18:50.470
<v Speaker 2>now like, well, we got to figure out a solution.

0:18:50.530 --> 0:18:52.750
<v Speaker 2>You're the one.

0:18:52.710 --> 0:18:56.100
<v Speaker 1>Who's going around getting all these unhinged superheroes. And I

0:18:56.140 --> 0:18:56.640
<v Speaker 1>love them.

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 3>But like, come on, you didn't need to send Wanda

0:18:59.300 --> 0:18:59.940
<v Speaker 3>to Lagos.

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:01.340
<v Speaker 1>Like that was unnecessary.

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.720
<v Speaker 2>You didn't need to create Ultron. Anyway, so he basically

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.620
<v Speaker 2>has Vision babysit Wanda. And this is the period where

0:19:07.660 --> 0:19:11.870
<v Speaker 2>they start really vibing because Vision starts wearing sweaters now.

0:19:13.540 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 1>So cute.

0:19:14.260 --> 0:19:16.760
<v Speaker 2>And he's, like, cooking her. He is cooking her.

0:19:16.780 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 1>So comfy.

0:19:17.859 --> 0:19:22.940
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. They're, like, really vibing. Eventually, of course, Clint does

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 2>break her out. And she uses her powers to, like,

0:19:27.660 --> 0:19:31.669
<v Speaker 2>throw Vision deep down through the sub-levels of the Avengers Mansion, escape.

0:19:31.710 --> 0:19:34.790
<v Speaker 2>They have a big fight. And they are, yes, they

0:19:34.830 --> 0:19:38.050
<v Speaker 2>are getting, all the while, the chemistry is bubbling. And,

0:19:38.070 --> 0:19:41.290
<v Speaker 2>of course, they are on opposite sides of the Tony

0:19:41.330 --> 0:19:44.830
<v Speaker 2>versus Cap fight at the Leipzig airport. Later in that movie,

0:19:45.330 --> 0:19:52.290
<v Speaker 2>we go to Infinity War. The Caps event. disaffected Avengers,

0:19:52.310 --> 0:19:55.070
<v Speaker 2>have been on the run for a couple years now, underground.

0:19:55.770 --> 0:20:01.590
<v Speaker 2>And Wanda and Vision have been just like, getting it on,

0:20:01.890 --> 0:20:02.730
<v Speaker 2>like on the road.

0:20:02.770 --> 0:20:06.410
<v Speaker 3>Two years on the run, just having robot witch sex

0:20:06.590 --> 0:20:07.310
<v Speaker 3>in Edinburgh.

0:20:07.410 --> 0:20:10.210
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, who can blame them? Sounds great.

0:20:10.250 --> 0:20:12.929
<v Speaker 2>Who can blame them? It really seems like... Whom's among us?

0:20:12.930 --> 0:20:13.430
<v Speaker 3>Whom's?

0:20:13.850 --> 0:20:19.590
<v Speaker 2>They have really developed a chemistry, a shorthand. It's like

0:20:19.630 --> 0:20:22.850
<v Speaker 2>they're just taking walks through the streets together. Vision is

0:20:23.010 --> 0:20:26.190
<v Speaker 2>mainly appearing like as a human guy now. He's rearranging

0:20:26.230 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 2>his particles so he looks like a guy. And.

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.540
<v Speaker 2>It's been a wonderful time, but the Mind Stone has

0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.060
<v Speaker 2>been fritzing out. It's been talking to him, trying to

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.370
<v Speaker 2>say things to him that he doesn't understand. Wanda tries

0:20:39.390 --> 0:20:41.890
<v Speaker 2>to read it, but she's like, I only feel you.

0:20:41.910 --> 0:20:47.110
<v Speaker 2>And then, of course, they haven't been checking in with anybody,

0:20:47.170 --> 0:20:50.060
<v Speaker 2>including Tony or Cap or anybody. They've just kind of

0:20:50.100 --> 0:20:53.220
<v Speaker 2>been gone dark. Natasha, no one. They've just gone dark

0:20:53.619 --> 0:20:56.100
<v Speaker 2>and been on a fuck run across the globe.

0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.820
<v Speaker 1>They ghosted everyone's have sex. In Edinburgh. Above a fish

0:20:59.859 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and chip shop.

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:04.449
<v Speaker 3>I also want to say again, above a fish and

0:21:04.470 --> 0:21:08.210
<v Speaker 3>chip shop eating chip buddies and like fucking black pudding.

0:21:08.930 --> 0:21:12.649
<v Speaker 1>Disgusting. It stinks in that room. But the thing that

0:21:12.670 --> 0:21:16.889
<v Speaker 1>I love about this scene again, when you watch it

0:21:16.930 --> 0:21:20.880
<v Speaker 1>in the context of knowing Vision Quest is coming, I'm like, okay,

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.020
<v Speaker 1>who was talking? But I'm like, who was talking to him?

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:23.619
<v Speaker 2>Was.

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Was Ultron in his head?

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.510
<v Speaker 3>Was Ultron in his head trying to tell him, like,

0:21:29.530 --> 0:21:30.850
<v Speaker 3>fucking Corvus Glaive is coming.

0:21:31.130 --> 0:21:31.650
<v Speaker 1>Thanos is coming.

0:21:31.670 --> 0:21:32.490
<v Speaker 2>That's actually great.

0:21:32.530 --> 0:21:34.550
<v Speaker 3>They're going to try and destroy something in a way

0:21:34.750 --> 0:21:37.890
<v Speaker 3>I don't want. You know, but he couldn't understand it. Like,

0:21:38.330 --> 0:21:41.510
<v Speaker 3>on rewatching all of this, the Mind Stone elements and

0:21:41.530 --> 0:21:43.989
<v Speaker 3>the way it's connected to Vision and the way that

0:21:44.130 --> 0:21:46.450
<v Speaker 3>Ultron was created are so exciting.

0:21:46.510 --> 0:21:49.340
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I agree. You just want them to pay it off.

0:21:50.310 --> 0:21:52.649
<v Speaker 2>I think they will. That is actually really cool. And

0:21:52.690 --> 0:21:56.030
<v Speaker 2>of course, now we remember that they see the news

0:21:56.130 --> 0:22:00.020
<v Speaker 2>that Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight and the rest of

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:01.959
<v Speaker 2>the Black Order, oh God, have attacked New York. And

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:03.840
<v Speaker 2>they're like, what's going on? And then they get attacked

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:07.179
<v Speaker 2>and Vision gets stabbed and spends the rest of the

0:22:07.220 --> 0:22:10.780
<v Speaker 2>movie in a state of critical care where they're trying

0:22:10.820 --> 0:22:12.200
<v Speaker 2>to remove the Mind Stone from his head.

0:22:13.340 --> 0:22:17.210
<v Speaker 1>Jason, if there was really an alien invasion.

0:22:17.619 --> 0:22:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Do you think we would all respect the aliens over

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:21.679
<v Speaker 3>the top names?

0:22:21.780 --> 0:22:24.420
<v Speaker 1>Or do you think you'd just be like, these fucking aliens!

0:22:24.500 --> 0:22:25.680
<v Speaker 1>The aliens!

0:22:25.940 --> 0:22:28.780
<v Speaker 3>Everyone on Fox News is like, here's Proxima Midnight.

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:30.939
<v Speaker 2>What do you think?

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:32.419
<v Speaker 1>It's like, come on, guys.

0:22:32.460 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 3>It's just Alien 1, Alien 2, Alien 3.

0:22:36.220 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 2>So we go to Wakanda, right? Shuri is attempting to

0:22:41.940 --> 0:22:45.390
<v Speaker 2>remove the Mind Stone. from Vision's body as the rest

0:22:45.410 --> 0:22:47.750
<v Speaker 2>of the Avengers are battling the forces of the Black

0:22:47.830 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Order and Thanos. And ultimately, they lose security over the

0:22:54.859 --> 0:22:57.659
<v Speaker 2>lab where they're trying to do this, and Vision flees

0:22:57.780 --> 0:23:00.619
<v Speaker 2>out into the wider fight and is on the run.

0:23:00.700 --> 0:23:06.179
<v Speaker 2>Thanos gets him. But before Thanos can get him, Wanda

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:12.030
<v Speaker 2>agrees to destroy the Mind Stone and to be the

0:23:12.290 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 2>one who is there with Vision in his final moments.

0:23:16.540 --> 0:23:18.780
<v Speaker 2>It's his choice. He thinks it's the best choice. And

0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:21.149
<v Speaker 2>she heartbreakingly agrees. So she destroys the gem.

0:23:21.180 --> 0:23:24.180
<v Speaker 1>And he says, don't worry, I'll only feel you.

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:28.910
<v Speaker 2>Yes. When she's destroying it. So think about this. All

0:23:28.930 --> 0:23:32.389
<v Speaker 2>of this trauma is just adding up, adding up, and

0:23:32.430 --> 0:23:35.710
<v Speaker 2>will ultimately explode into.

0:23:35.430 --> 0:23:39.190
<v Speaker 1>The Wanda has gone through it. Like, please forgive my babe.

0:23:39.270 --> 0:23:40.010
<v Speaker 1>She has gone through it.

0:23:40.010 --> 0:23:42.939
<v Speaker 2>She has to kill the man she loves. Who is

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 2>a magical cyborg.

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Like, she has to process a lot.

0:23:48.150 --> 0:23:51.650
<v Speaker 2>Truly a magical cyborg with an infinity gem imbued by

0:23:51.730 --> 0:23:54.980
<v Speaker 2>Asgardian lightning magic. And he's technology, too. It's like, we

0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 2>don't know. This guy's incredible.

0:23:56.740 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Can you imagine the way that the things he's doing

0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:02.699
<v Speaker 3>for her with those particles he could change around? She

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 3>doesn't want to say goodbye to that.

0:24:04.510 --> 0:24:04.930
<v Speaker 2>You can't.

0:24:04.970 --> 0:24:06.889
<v Speaker 3>Like, there's nobody to imagine it.

0:24:07.030 --> 0:24:09.470
<v Speaker 2>It'll never be like that again.

0:24:09.950 --> 0:24:14.250
<v Speaker 1>The only stock industry's sex toy. 100%.

0:24:14.250 --> 0:24:17.379
<v Speaker 2>So far. In collaboration with Margaret. I was going to

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:22.440
<v Speaker 2>say Bruce Banner and Margaret Cho. Helen Cho and Asgardian

0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:26.889
<v Speaker 2>lightning magic. Anyway, so Wanda, like, she destroys the gem

0:24:27.290 --> 0:24:29.590
<v Speaker 2>and it's heartbreaking. She kills him. He just kind of

0:24:29.650 --> 0:24:33.300
<v Speaker 2>explodes and shatters into a million trillion pieces. but that

0:24:33.410 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Thanos uses the time stone to rewind time just where

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:40.159
<v Speaker 2>that happened and bring him back. She has to witness

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:44.200
<v Speaker 2>this twice. And then he pries the gem out of

0:24:45.020 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 2>his head, Vision's head, and Vision just drops gray and

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:51.540
<v Speaker 2>ghostly to the ground. And then he now has the

0:24:51.580 --> 0:24:55.119
<v Speaker 2>completed glove. He snaps, Wanda turns to dust, and we

0:24:55.160 --> 0:25:00.230
<v Speaker 2>know what happens. Five years later, after the blip, Wanda's

0:25:00.290 --> 0:25:02.669
<v Speaker 2>back for the final battle in Endgame. She fights Thanos.

0:25:02.690 --> 0:25:06.460
<v Speaker 2>She almost solos him. She is, of course, so, you know,

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.300
<v Speaker 2>we hear her verbalize for the first time, like, the

0:25:09.340 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 2>pain that she's in. You took everything from me. He's like,

0:25:11.260 --> 0:25:15.580
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know who you are. She almost fucking

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:21.899
<v Speaker 2>does him in. And then Tony ultimately snaps. Thanos disappears. And,

0:25:21.940 --> 0:25:24.110
<v Speaker 2>of course, because of the blip, everybody was brought back.

0:25:24.140 --> 0:25:28.950
<v Speaker 2>But because Vision didn't die in the snap, He does

0:25:29.010 --> 0:25:33.690
<v Speaker 2>not get brought back, which I will say, it seemed

0:25:33.770 --> 0:25:37.370
<v Speaker 2>like when they gave Banner the, hey, just everybody back,

0:25:37.430 --> 0:25:39.669
<v Speaker 2>that's it. They could have been like, hey, everybody back

0:25:39.690 --> 0:25:40.470
<v Speaker 2>and also Vision.

0:25:40.820 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I do feel like- They could have done it,

0:25:43.140 --> 0:25:45.919
<v Speaker 3>it's the oversight. I feel like his son, I feel

0:25:45.940 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 3>like he would have tried.

0:25:46.740 --> 0:25:49.020
<v Speaker 1>I know. I feel like he would have included him.

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 3>But again, I do think if they want to, there's

0:25:52.820 --> 0:25:56.440
<v Speaker 3>going to be some very interesting stuff about maybe why

0:25:56.500 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 3>that didn't work. The stones are in the gauntlet at

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 3>the same time, so they can't use them. I really

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:05.919
<v Speaker 3>want to know if that gets touched on, or if

0:26:06.030 --> 0:26:08.449
<v Speaker 3>I'm Ultron, and I'll say this before we go on

0:26:08.470 --> 0:26:10.530
<v Speaker 3>to Act 2 after the break, if I'm.

0:26:10.530 --> 0:26:14.469
<v Speaker 1>Ultron, I'm using that against Vision and saying, hey, why

0:26:14.510 --> 0:26:15.430
<v Speaker 1>didn't they bring you back?

0:26:15.850 --> 0:26:19.050
<v Speaker 3>I thought they liked you. Maybe they chose not to

0:26:19.070 --> 0:26:21.609
<v Speaker 3>bring you back because you're too dangerous. Like maybe they

0:26:21.650 --> 0:26:24.010
<v Speaker 3>didn't trust you. They wanted to take your body and

0:26:24.030 --> 0:26:26.620
<v Speaker 3>do experiments on it. That's why they didn't bring you back.

0:26:26.670 --> 0:26:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Like that's going to be such a good leverage for

0:26:29.380 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 3>him to play on this new version of Vision.

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Let's take a quick break and we'll be back with WandaVision.

0:26:35.180 --> 0:26:36.940
<v Speaker 2>The good times. Yeah, the good times.

0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:37.620
<v Speaker 4>Remember them?

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:38.100
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know.

0:26:53.060 --> 0:26:56.439
<v Speaker 2>And we're back. Act Two, WandaVision. We open in Westview,

0:26:56.480 --> 0:27:01.869
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey. And right off the bat, something strange is

0:27:01.970 --> 0:27:05.609
<v Speaker 2>happening here because we open in a, as if we

0:27:05.690 --> 0:27:10.970
<v Speaker 2>are inside of a black and white 1950s sitcom with

0:27:11.010 --> 0:27:14.900
<v Speaker 2>a laugh track and everything. Wanda and Vision are these newlyweds.

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 2>They seem to have forgotten something about their histories together

0:27:21.300 --> 0:27:22.959
<v Speaker 2>because they can't say when they got married or how

0:27:22.980 --> 0:27:26.679
<v Speaker 2>they got there. Vig works in an office. There you

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:29.470
<v Speaker 2>have this nosy neighbor named Agnes, who we, of course,

0:27:29.510 --> 0:27:33.449
<v Speaker 2>know eventually is Agatha the Witch, played by Katherine Hahn.

0:27:34.890 --> 0:27:38.230
<v Speaker 2>And there's just a lot of weird stuff happening. Each

0:27:38.390 --> 0:27:42.109
<v Speaker 2>episode moves forward a decade. So we get to a

0:27:42.609 --> 0:27:46.480
<v Speaker 2>1960s episode, this bewitched riff. where the outside world now

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 2>is starting to show up. There's a toy helicopter with

0:27:49.140 --> 0:27:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a sword logo. There's a voice on the radio calling

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:55.609
<v Speaker 2>for Wanda. A beekeeper climbs out of the sewer. When Wanda... Yeah,

0:27:56.030 --> 0:27:56.590
<v Speaker 2>we get.

0:27:56.470 --> 0:28:01.610
<v Speaker 3>Crazy, like, deep cut bova nods to the cow that

0:28:01.650 --> 0:28:03.290
<v Speaker 3>had inspired Wanda.

0:28:03.310 --> 0:28:06.450
<v Speaker 1>There's all these little hints that the comics.

0:28:06.090 --> 0:28:10.020
<v Speaker 3>World, Wanda's real life, the movies, it's all kind of

0:28:10.060 --> 0:28:11.380
<v Speaker 3>become this blur to her.

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 1>This was, I gotta say.

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:17.680
<v Speaker 3>For somebody writing entertainment journalism talking about this stuff, this

0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 3>was an unbelievable time. I was interviewing multiple cast members

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 3>every week and we were putting together clues.

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Could you be this? Could you be that?

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:30.060
<v Speaker 3>Emma Caulfield from Buffy hadn't even really been told who

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:33.420
<v Speaker 3>her character was. We were wondering at times, are these

0:28:33.500 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 3>all heroes? Because the neighbors, the mystery of who the

0:28:36.290 --> 0:28:40.510
<v Speaker 3>neighbors were, it was a great time. And obviously, at

0:28:40.530 --> 0:28:42.210
<v Speaker 3>the end of this episode, we get to meet a

0:28:42.270 --> 0:28:43.030
<v Speaker 3>huge character.

0:28:43.550 --> 0:28:46.530
<v Speaker 2>Right. So this is the second episode that is in

0:28:46.550 --> 0:28:49.230
<v Speaker 2>the 60s, kind of a color now episode. And at

0:28:49.270 --> 0:28:53.980
<v Speaker 2>the end of the episode, we realize that Wanda is pregnant.

0:28:55.440 --> 0:29:00.160
<v Speaker 2>And the show goes on. We go to the 1970s.

0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:03.370
<v Speaker 2>Wanda is now going through her, you know, the rigors

0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:09.050
<v Speaker 2>of pregnancy. And, um, There's a neighbor named Geraldine, played

0:29:09.070 --> 0:29:15.770
<v Speaker 2>by Tiana Paris, who is helping out. Wanda eventually gives

0:29:15.830 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 2>birth to twins, Billy and Tommy. Geraldine mentions Pietro and

0:29:23.420 --> 0:29:27.000
<v Speaker 2>the history with Ultron and how Ultron led to her

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:32.500
<v Speaker 2>brother's death. And Wanda kind of like the illusion kind

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:35.510
<v Speaker 2>of buckles for a second. Wanda sees a sword pendant

0:29:35.590 --> 0:29:37.670
<v Speaker 2>on Geraldine's necklace and is like, get out of here.

0:29:37.730 --> 0:29:40.890
<v Speaker 2>She throws her out and we realize. now for the

0:29:40.930 --> 0:29:45.210
<v Speaker 2>first time that this reality is contained in this hex

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 2>bubble of chaos magic that Wanda has cast around this

0:29:49.420 --> 0:29:52.420
<v Speaker 2>entire town. And outside of it is like the normal

0:29:52.780 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 2>world where- Crazy reveal. Sword soldiers and other security organizations

0:30:00.340 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 2>are like out there, camped out, ready to just trying

0:30:03.100 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 2>to contain whatever is happening.

0:30:05.090 --> 0:30:08.090
<v Speaker 3>We talk a lot about how impactful this show was,

0:30:08.490 --> 0:30:11.790
<v Speaker 3>but it's hard to describe how crazy that reveal was

0:30:11.830 --> 0:30:14.190
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the third episode. They were actually

0:30:14.310 --> 0:30:17.670
<v Speaker 3>so nervous about the show because it wasn't supposed to

0:30:17.690 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 3>be the first Disney Plus MCU show. And also it

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:23.260
<v Speaker 3>was so weird that they released the first three episodes

0:30:23.340 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 3>together because they wanted people to get past the hex

0:30:27.700 --> 0:30:29.140
<v Speaker 3>in case it was too weird for them.

0:30:29.670 --> 0:30:31.670
<v Speaker 1>But it was so good, such a great reveal.

0:30:31.750 --> 0:30:34.470
<v Speaker 3>And then you get that big episode four bottle episode

0:30:34.510 --> 0:30:35.090
<v Speaker 3>that tells.

0:30:34.910 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Us a lot more about the blip than we'd kind

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:37.680
<v Speaker 1>of ever known.

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:42.340
<v Speaker 2>So episode four, we discover that Geraldine, as we knew

0:30:42.380 --> 0:30:47.850
<v Speaker 2>her inside the hexes, actually Captain Monica Rambeau just returned

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:53.830
<v Speaker 2>from the snap. Her mom, Maria Rambeau, helped found S.W.O.R.D.,

0:30:54.150 --> 0:30:57.270
<v Speaker 2>which used to run space missions and is now focused

0:30:57.490 --> 0:31:04.950
<v Speaker 2>on sentient machines, sentient computer systems, sentient technology, like the Vision,

0:31:05.030 --> 0:31:06.350
<v Speaker 2>things created by the Mind Stone.

0:31:06.730 --> 0:31:07.330
<v Speaker 1>Sentinels!

0:31:07.990 --> 0:31:09.450
<v Speaker 2>Sentinels, possibly, yes.

0:31:09.530 --> 0:31:13.110
<v Speaker 3>Possibly, in this scene, when you watch episode four, there

0:31:13.150 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 3>is a lot of them walking around a sword base,

0:31:16.100 --> 0:31:21.000
<v Speaker 3>and at times, there are large... kind of robot looking things.

0:31:21.540 --> 0:31:24.420
<v Speaker 3>We definitely are in a situation here where they knew

0:31:24.500 --> 0:31:27.300
<v Speaker 3>they were seeding in the idea of like, could vision

0:31:27.340 --> 0:31:29.310
<v Speaker 3>be used as part of what was used to build

0:31:29.330 --> 0:31:30.070
<v Speaker 3>the Sentinels?

0:31:30.110 --> 0:31:32.310
<v Speaker 1>I think it will to the combination.

0:31:32.770 --> 0:31:35.890
<v Speaker 3>And also if we start thinking about Jason, another thing

0:31:35.910 --> 0:31:38.070
<v Speaker 3>you brought up in this that I think is so key,

0:31:38.550 --> 0:31:42.710
<v Speaker 3>they have done mini civil wars throughout the MCU. That's

0:31:42.750 --> 0:31:45.690
<v Speaker 3>been a big part of the conflict, right? So if

0:31:45.750 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 3>they use the Vision tech to make the Sentinels alongside

0:31:50.100 --> 0:31:53.540
<v Speaker 3>the Peter Parker tech, right, that he made the Mutant

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Inhibitor and the Bruce tech, then that already means Spider-Man,

0:31:58.180 --> 0:32:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Wanda and Bruce might all have to be on one

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:01.660
<v Speaker 3>side kind of fixing it.

0:32:01.790 --> 0:32:03.450
<v Speaker 1>And that would pit them against the mutants.

0:32:03.790 --> 0:32:06.770
<v Speaker 3>I think there's some really interesting stuff that they're seeding here.

0:32:07.090 --> 0:32:10.209
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, the Sentient Weapon Program with SWORD, come on.

0:32:10.570 --> 0:32:14.540
<v Speaker 2>We meet the director of SWORD, Tyler Hayward. who seems

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:16.870
<v Speaker 2>like an ominous guy, and we learn about the Hex.

0:32:17.110 --> 0:32:20.470
<v Speaker 2>We also meet some of our old friends. FBI agent

0:32:20.510 --> 0:32:24.690
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Woo is there. Astrophysicist Darcy Lewis, who we originally

0:32:24.710 --> 0:32:28.860
<v Speaker 2>met in Thor, is there. And they are kind of

0:32:28.900 --> 0:32:31.980
<v Speaker 2>beginning to work out that the Hex is working as

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:35.420
<v Speaker 2>a broadcast TV show which Darcy is able to watch

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:37.140
<v Speaker 2>on an old TV. We go to the 1980s. In

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:40.460
<v Speaker 2>the next episode, the twins are aging up. They were

0:32:40.700 --> 0:32:44.070
<v Speaker 2>just babies, and now they're five and ten. Agnes brings

0:32:44.110 --> 0:32:45.530
<v Speaker 2>them a dog named Sparky.

0:32:45.550 --> 0:32:47.770
<v Speaker 3>Comics.

0:32:47.910 --> 0:32:51.270
<v Speaker 2>Just like in the comics. Vision now is beginning to

0:32:51.610 --> 0:32:57.280
<v Speaker 2>notice things that are weird, including a co-worker who briefly

0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:00.060
<v Speaker 2>seems to wake up from the hex and is telling

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:01.540
<v Speaker 2>him her wife's controlling her.

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:02.770
<v Speaker 1>She's doing it.

0:33:04.470 --> 0:33:08.090
<v Speaker 2>Hayward, director of SWORD, sends a drone into the hex.

0:33:08.330 --> 0:33:12.730
<v Speaker 2>Wanda walks out and basically tells it, like, get out

0:33:12.750 --> 0:33:16.110
<v Speaker 2>of here. Leave my family alone. Hayward then shows his

0:33:16.150 --> 0:33:22.090
<v Speaker 2>staff footage of Wanda breaking into SWORD headquarters and exiting

0:33:22.130 --> 0:33:26.070
<v Speaker 2>with Vision's body. And he's like, she's a threat. She's

0:33:26.090 --> 0:33:28.170
<v Speaker 2>got to be taken down. At the end of the episode,

0:33:29.110 --> 0:33:34.620
<v Speaker 2>Pietro shows up at the door, but it is... Pietro

0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:39.390
<v Speaker 2>played by Evan Peters from the Fox X-Men.

0:33:39.090 --> 0:33:41.130
<v Speaker 1>Universe god damn great.

0:33:41.010 --> 0:33:44.990
<v Speaker 3>Fun twist I don't care if they didn't lean into

0:33:45.170 --> 0:33:47.910
<v Speaker 3>it I think it's funny I love Evan Peters give

0:33:47.950 --> 0:33:52.690
<v Speaker 3>him some more roles we all absolutely freaking lost it

0:33:52.830 --> 0:33:58.270
<v Speaker 3>it was great especially when Darcy goes they recast Pietro

0:33:58.290 --> 0:34:03.730
<v Speaker 3>did she just recast Pietro and I also love It's funny,

0:34:03.860 --> 0:34:06.980
<v Speaker 3>it works as a meta text, but it's also really

0:34:07.060 --> 0:34:10.380
<v Speaker 3>emotional because just a couple of episodes before, Geraldine reminded

0:34:10.420 --> 0:34:11.300
<v Speaker 3>her her brother's dead.

0:34:11.900 --> 0:34:13.800
<v Speaker 1>So the idea is like, okay, cool, I'll make a

0:34:13.840 --> 0:34:15.240
<v Speaker 1>new one, right? It's so cool.

0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 2>So we go to Halloween now. Tommy has super, they've

0:34:21.140 --> 0:34:23.839
<v Speaker 2>had their powers now. Tommy has super speed. Billy can

0:34:23.900 --> 0:34:26.760
<v Speaker 2>hear what people are thinking, which is exactly how Wanda's

0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of powers, you know, sort of begin to manifest.

0:34:29.860 --> 0:34:32.680
<v Speaker 1>And they will change that for the show, it seems like.

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:35.190
<v Speaker 1>They will change it. Like the modern comics powers. That's right.

0:34:36.010 --> 0:34:39.989
<v Speaker 2>So Vision is beginning to have doubts. He walks to

0:34:40.030 --> 0:34:42.070
<v Speaker 2>the edge of town and he finds people frozen in place,

0:34:42.770 --> 0:34:46.810
<v Speaker 2>including a terrified Agnes. When he tries to exit the hex,

0:34:46.850 --> 0:34:51.469
<v Speaker 2>his body starts coming apart. Uh-oh. And we understand this

0:34:51.570 --> 0:34:56.330
<v Speaker 2>is because that's not Vision. He is a creation of

0:34:56.450 --> 0:34:59.570
<v Speaker 2>Wanda who made him real with her chaos magic reality

0:34:59.590 --> 0:35:03.130
<v Speaker 2>of He only exists inside the Hex. Billy kind of

0:35:03.190 --> 0:35:07.060
<v Speaker 2>senses it, tells Wanda, who, in order to save him

0:35:07.140 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 2>from coming apart as he tries to exit the Hex,

0:35:09.500 --> 0:35:14.279
<v Speaker 2>expands it in order to basically widen the area where

0:35:14.340 --> 0:35:17.390
<v Speaker 2>her powers are taking place. And it swallows a lot

0:35:17.430 --> 0:35:20.510
<v Speaker 2>of the sword base that's outside of it, including Darcy.

0:35:21.410 --> 0:35:23.640
<v Speaker 2>We go to the next episode. which is now a

0:35:23.700 --> 0:35:25.380
<v Speaker 2>Modern Family style episode.

0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:35:26.620 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Modern Family meets.

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm in the Middle.

0:35:29.820 --> 0:35:30.670
<v Speaker 2>Malcolm in the Middle, yes.

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:31.259
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:35:31.500 --> 0:35:33.819
<v Speaker 3>It did the Malcolm in the Middle opening. I got

0:35:33.840 --> 0:35:36.290
<v Speaker 3>to say, guys, go back. I mean, I'll put some

0:35:36.330 --> 0:35:39.550
<v Speaker 3>in the Discord. I wrote crazy breakdowns of the different

0:35:39.610 --> 0:35:42.130
<v Speaker 3>Easter eggs from TV they were doing. The way that

0:35:42.170 --> 0:35:45.730
<v Speaker 3>they put love into this show about television.

0:35:45.190 --> 0:35:46.950
<v Speaker 1>As a whole is miraculous.

0:35:47.190 --> 0:35:51.250
<v Speaker 2>It was really, really great. We were talking about Marvel TV,

0:35:51.290 --> 0:35:53.469
<v Speaker 2>the same way we're talking about lanterns.

0:35:52.989 --> 0:35:57.020
<v Speaker 3>And literally more crazy, even like this was seen as

0:35:57.380 --> 0:36:01.359
<v Speaker 3>an unprecedented success in the fandom, at least for sure.

0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:06.300
<v Speaker 2>So Wanda is now kind of losing control of this thing. And,

0:36:07.050 --> 0:36:11.969
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're slipping between decades now. Darcy is a

0:36:12.030 --> 0:36:16.110
<v Speaker 2>circus performer inside the hex. Now she tells basically, listen,

0:36:16.190 --> 0:36:19.339
<v Speaker 2>here's what is going on that you don't understand. You died.

0:36:20.010 --> 0:36:26.390
<v Speaker 2>Thanos killed you, and then Wanda, in her grief, built

0:36:26.469 --> 0:36:30.500
<v Speaker 2>all of this to create the family life with you

0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:34.640
<v Speaker 2>that she wanted. Monica goes back into the hex, and

0:36:34.680 --> 0:36:37.480
<v Speaker 2>it changes her on the cellular level, and when she

0:36:37.540 --> 0:36:38.640
<v Speaker 2>comes out, she has powers.

0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Sick.

0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:44.839
<v Speaker 2>Sick. Agnes, babysitting, has the twins at her house where

0:36:44.920 --> 0:36:48.820
<v Speaker 2>apparently their powers don't work. Wanda goes into Agnes' basement.

0:36:49.180 --> 0:36:51.980
<v Speaker 2>looking for them, and finds a witch's lair down there.

0:36:52.540 --> 0:36:56.399
<v Speaker 2>And Agnes reveals that she is, in fact, Agatha Harkness,

0:36:56.840 --> 0:37:01.880
<v Speaker 2>centuries-old witch, and the show begins playing her theme song, Agatha,

0:37:01.900 --> 0:37:06.380
<v Speaker 2>all along. Sadly, Agatha also killed Sparky the dog. She evil.

0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:07.370
<v Speaker 1>Don't forget it.

0:37:07.700 --> 0:37:10.900
<v Speaker 2>That lady evil. It's complicated, but she evil.

0:37:11.219 --> 0:37:14.280
<v Speaker 3>She's complicated, and we love her, but from the first

0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:17.010
<v Speaker 3>day dot, she said, I killed the dog. So just remember,

0:37:17.050 --> 0:37:17.910
<v Speaker 3>that sets her up.

0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:21.500
<v Speaker 2>And she's, let me tell you, she's been killing throughout

0:37:21.540 --> 0:37:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the centuries. We will get to that in a bit.

0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:29.120
<v Speaker 3>We've caused many problems in the fandom because we think

0:37:29.140 --> 0:37:31.120
<v Speaker 3>she killed more than our Discord thinks.

0:37:31.140 --> 0:37:34.500
<v Speaker 2>She's killed a lot. She's been killing. She's been racking

0:37:34.520 --> 0:37:37.740
<v Speaker 2>them up. Next episode, we go to Salem, 1693.

0:37:37.739 --> 0:37:40.570
<v Speaker 1>God damn this world, man.

0:37:40.730 --> 0:37:41.589
<v Speaker 2>I love the Agatha stuff.

0:37:41.610 --> 0:37:42.189
<v Speaker 1>It's so good.

0:37:42.830 --> 0:37:46.370
<v Speaker 2>Agatha's coven is trying to kill, execute her because she

0:37:46.390 --> 0:37:49.630
<v Speaker 2>broke the rules. She's been practicing dark magic, but instead

0:37:49.690 --> 0:37:52.950
<v Speaker 2>she turns the tables, drains their power and steals it.

0:37:53.710 --> 0:37:55.950
<v Speaker 2>We go to the present. She tells Wanda that she

0:37:55.989 --> 0:38:00.129
<v Speaker 2>came to Westview because she sensed someone controlling a whole

0:38:00.190 --> 0:38:03.430
<v Speaker 2>town without trying. And she's like, oh, my God, this magic.

0:38:03.550 --> 0:38:06.310
<v Speaker 2>I have to have that for myself. She wants to

0:38:06.330 --> 0:38:10.410
<v Speaker 2>know how Wanda is doing it. So she walks Wanda

0:38:10.450 --> 0:38:14.930
<v Speaker 2>back through her memories. And we this is a flashback episode.

0:38:14.950 --> 0:38:16.870
<v Speaker 2>We learn a lot about Wanda. We go to Sokovia.

0:38:18.140 --> 0:38:21.620
<v Speaker 2>We learned that back in the day, young Wanda and

0:38:21.660 --> 0:38:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Pietro and the whole family, they would kind of bond

0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:29.359
<v Speaker 2>in their very kind of dreary Eastern European life, war-torn

0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:36.219
<v Speaker 2>Eastern European, grim, brutalist architecture life. They would bond over

0:38:36.340 --> 0:38:40.710
<v Speaker 2>watching DVDs of sitcoms. And so they love television. This

0:38:40.770 --> 0:38:44.529
<v Speaker 2>is where this whole hex kind of TV format is

0:38:44.590 --> 0:38:48.779
<v Speaker 2>coming from. And- Remember that second shell that didn't go off?

0:38:49.060 --> 0:38:54.620
<v Speaker 2>We learn that it didn't go off because Wanda, without

0:38:54.760 --> 0:39:00.510
<v Speaker 2>knowing it, stopped it using her, we now know, latent

0:39:00.650 --> 0:39:04.650
<v Speaker 2>mutant powers, which clearly she and Pietro had, which the

0:39:04.710 --> 0:39:09.670
<v Speaker 2>Mind Stone experiments only amplified. Hydra and the Mind Stone,

0:39:09.870 --> 0:39:14.340
<v Speaker 2>in other words, they didn't. empower her, she already had power.

0:39:14.620 --> 0:39:17.500
<v Speaker 3>It's basically like in the comics, we talk about the

0:39:17.540 --> 0:39:21.759
<v Speaker 3>mutant gene needing to be, in some cases, like with Deadpool,

0:39:21.860 --> 0:39:25.069
<v Speaker 3>it needs to be started, kickstarted. You know, some people

0:39:25.110 --> 0:39:29.890
<v Speaker 3>have it, it's latent. We imagine here that this encouraged

0:39:29.910 --> 0:39:33.120
<v Speaker 3>one either a secondary mutation for Wanda, which is how

0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:37.640
<v Speaker 3>she became a reality changer, or it just made them bigger.

0:39:37.660 --> 0:39:39.080
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's really interesting.

0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:41.780
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be a big part of Vision Quest,

0:39:41.820 --> 0:39:44.140
<v Speaker 3>I think, working out how her powers work, how she

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:46.140
<v Speaker 3>could manifest them to the kids, etc.

0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:51.370
<v Speaker 2>We see... her and Vision bonding in the Avengers compound,

0:39:51.450 --> 0:39:55.200
<v Speaker 2>and as she's in her grief about Pietro and everything

0:39:55.219 --> 0:39:57.319
<v Speaker 2>she's already been through in her life, Vision tells her,

0:39:57.340 --> 0:39:59.940
<v Speaker 2>you know, what is grief if not love persevering, which

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 2>is essentially the thesis of the show. In the S.W.O.R.D.

0:40:03.360 --> 0:40:06.680
<v Speaker 2>headquarters after the snap, we see the moment that Wanda

0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:12.750
<v Speaker 2>goes to get Vision's body, which, you know, fell at Wakanda,

0:40:13.130 --> 0:40:18.469
<v Speaker 2>in order to bury it. Hayward... shows it to her

0:40:18.530 --> 0:40:23.110
<v Speaker 2>on the table, taken apart in pieces. It's horrific. He

0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:27.880
<v Speaker 2>clearly wants to rebuild Vision as a weapon and wants

0:40:27.920 --> 0:40:30.550
<v Speaker 2>her to power it up to help him do it.

0:40:30.620 --> 0:40:33.180
<v Speaker 2>But she's like, no way, this is horrific. She leaves

0:40:33.620 --> 0:40:36.900
<v Speaker 2>without the body because it's too taken apart and nightmarish.

0:40:37.420 --> 0:40:40.060
<v Speaker 2>But we realize that Hayward's footage they originally showed was

0:40:40.100 --> 0:40:45.580
<v Speaker 2>a lie. In Westview, we see that Vision, and I

0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:49.910
<v Speaker 2>love this part of it, Vision had put a down

0:40:49.969 --> 0:40:53.470
<v Speaker 2>payment on a house and a piece of land for

0:40:53.510 --> 0:40:57.580
<v Speaker 2>them to live in, to grow old in. And Wanda

0:40:57.640 --> 0:40:59.600
<v Speaker 2>stands in front of the empty lot now and she

0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:02.980
<v Speaker 2>breaks down and cries. And out of this grief, the

0:41:03.020 --> 0:41:07.360
<v Speaker 2>hex explodes out of her and creates this bubble reality

0:41:07.400 --> 0:41:12.300
<v Speaker 2>inside of it. The house rebuilds itself. A new Vision forms. Agatha,

0:41:12.340 --> 0:41:17.970
<v Speaker 2>seeing all of this, realizes Wanda is the prophesied Scarlet Witch.

0:41:19.430 --> 0:41:23.890
<v Speaker 2>She's not just a mutant imbued by Infinity Stone power.

0:41:24.340 --> 0:41:30.000
<v Speaker 2>She is actually the foretold Scarlet Witch mythical being who

0:41:30.020 --> 0:41:33.760
<v Speaker 2>can use chaos magic to create things out of nothing.

0:41:33.820 --> 0:41:39.310
<v Speaker 2>So not only was she this long... foretold legendary witch,

0:41:39.390 --> 0:41:44.110
<v Speaker 2>but she's like an Infinity Stone-powered witch. She's incredibly powerful.

0:41:44.150 --> 0:41:48.300
<v Speaker 2>This is why she could take on Thanos by herself. Exactly.

0:41:48.340 --> 0:41:49.979
<v Speaker 3>And I also want to say, I think it's really

0:41:50.080 --> 0:41:54.879
<v Speaker 3>interesting here that they... specify this notion of the Scarlet

0:41:54.930 --> 0:41:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Witch as essentially like a mantle that you can gain.

0:41:59.020 --> 0:42:02.319
<v Speaker 3>Because I do think that the people that Doom will

0:42:02.360 --> 0:42:05.790
<v Speaker 3>be collecting are different like mantle holders.

0:42:05.910 --> 0:42:06.750
<v Speaker 1>Savage Hulk.

0:42:06.850 --> 0:42:07.950
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

0:42:07.969 --> 0:42:11.009
<v Speaker 3>The Scarlet Witch. You know, those are essentially, I think,

0:42:11.050 --> 0:42:14.060
<v Speaker 3>the nexus. beings are going to be these kind of

0:42:14.120 --> 0:42:16.600
<v Speaker 3>like mantles. Anchor beings, as they're calling them. Yeah, they're

0:42:16.620 --> 0:42:19.180
<v Speaker 3>calling them in this anchor beings, which is the idea

0:42:19.219 --> 0:42:21.580
<v Speaker 3>that the universe can't exist without them. So that will

0:42:21.620 --> 0:42:25.379
<v Speaker 3>be interesting. But yeah, very cool to see that come

0:42:25.420 --> 0:42:26.800
<v Speaker 3>to life here. I love this show.

0:42:27.300 --> 0:42:31.020
<v Speaker 2>It's so, so good. So in the mid-credits scene of

0:42:31.060 --> 0:42:35.200
<v Speaker 2>this episode, Hayward uses the energy that was kind of

0:42:35.260 --> 0:42:38.540
<v Speaker 2>like latent on the drone that had gone into the

0:42:38.580 --> 0:42:41.350
<v Speaker 2>hex to To kind of jumpstart Vision's body, and he

0:42:41.390 --> 0:42:46.770
<v Speaker 2>comes online, all white Vision, with seemingly no memories of

0:42:46.830 --> 0:42:51.050
<v Speaker 2>anything that's happened. The finale of WandaVision, Agatha fights Wanda

0:42:51.330 --> 0:42:55.860
<v Speaker 2>for her power. White Vision arrives, ostensibly to kill Wanda,

0:42:57.280 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 2>and fights with the Hex-created version of himself. Iconic scene.

0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:07.140
<v Speaker 2>Just incredible. They end up in the town library, and HexVision...

0:43:07.920 --> 0:43:09.960
<v Speaker 2>raises this idea of the ship of Theseus. If you

0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:14.040
<v Speaker 2>replace every plank on a ship piece by piece over time,

0:43:14.940 --> 0:43:17.060
<v Speaker 2>at what point does it become a different ship or

0:43:17.100 --> 0:43:20.360
<v Speaker 2>is it always the same ship? Is it, you know,

0:43:20.380 --> 0:43:22.860
<v Speaker 2>which one is real? The original ship or the second

0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:28.840
<v Speaker 2>ship built from new planks? White Vision has the original

0:43:28.900 --> 0:43:31.660
<v Speaker 2>body and we learn that the memories are locked away,

0:43:31.739 --> 0:43:35.740
<v Speaker 2>not erased. Hex Vision unlocks them. And then White Vision

0:43:35.760 --> 0:43:39.719
<v Speaker 2>is like, says, I am Vision, and flies away. He leaves.

0:43:40.040 --> 0:43:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Leaves the scene. Monica learns that Pietro, recast Pietro, is

0:43:44.820 --> 0:43:50.450
<v Speaker 2>in fact their neighbor, neighborhood guy, Ralph Boner, an actor Agatha.

0:43:51.330 --> 0:43:52.910
<v Speaker 2>They were really fucking with.

0:43:52.910 --> 0:43:55.930
<v Speaker 1>Us with that one, and honestly, we deserved it. I

0:43:55.969 --> 0:43:56.740
<v Speaker 1>get it.

0:43:56.810 --> 0:44:02.430
<v Speaker 2>Nuts. An actor Agatha was controlling through a necklace. Billy

0:44:02.469 --> 0:44:06.170
<v Speaker 2>and Tommy fight sword soldiers, Hayward- tries to run the

0:44:06.210 --> 0:44:09.210
<v Speaker 2>twins over, just as like he's gone mental. Darcy has

0:44:09.230 --> 0:44:12.210
<v Speaker 2>to hit him with the truck. Agatha frees the townspeople

0:44:12.250 --> 0:44:16.530
<v Speaker 2>from Wanda's control long enough for them to tell her

0:44:16.570 --> 0:44:18.870
<v Speaker 2>how scary it's been for them to be trapped inside

0:44:18.890 --> 0:44:19.089
<v Speaker 2>of this.

0:44:19.170 --> 0:44:20.110
<v Speaker 1>Bad times.

0:44:20.370 --> 0:44:23.549
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she feels really bad. While fighting Agatha, Wanda has

0:44:23.590 --> 0:44:27.760
<v Speaker 2>been placing protection runes all along the inside of the hex,

0:44:28.260 --> 0:44:32.140
<v Speaker 2>and these strip Agatha of her powers. Wanda becomes the

0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:35.160
<v Speaker 2>fully realized Scarlet Witch, costume and crown and all of that,

0:44:35.320 --> 0:44:40.580
<v Speaker 2>traps Agatha in Westview as Agnes, the TV character with

0:44:40.640 --> 0:44:43.480
<v Speaker 2>no memory of what happened. In order to free the town,

0:44:43.540 --> 0:44:46.580
<v Speaker 2>Wanda has to take down the Hex, and everything she made,

0:44:46.800 --> 0:44:51.380
<v Speaker 2>of course, goes with it, including her twin boys and

0:44:51.540 --> 0:44:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Hex's version of Vision. She puts the boys to bed.

0:44:54.340 --> 0:44:58.259
<v Speaker 2>Vision tells her, you know, we've said goodbye before. It's

0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:01.370
<v Speaker 2>really horrible. It's like she's watched Vision, the original.

0:45:01.170 --> 0:45:02.810
<v Speaker 1>Vision, die twice. How many times does she have to

0:45:02.830 --> 0:45:03.129
<v Speaker 1>do this?

0:45:03.670 --> 0:45:08.150
<v Speaker 2>And now the creation of Vision, who is really basically him,

0:45:08.870 --> 0:45:12.450
<v Speaker 2>ship of Theseus magically, now she has to say goodbye

0:45:12.469 --> 0:45:17.330
<v Speaker 2>to him again. She says, you know, that means we'll

0:45:17.370 --> 0:45:21.310
<v Speaker 2>say hello again. He disappears. The townspeople look at her

0:45:21.350 --> 0:45:23.700
<v Speaker 2>in fear and she flies away. We go to the

0:45:23.739 --> 0:45:28.000
<v Speaker 2>mid-credits scene. Hayward, who is apparently doing all of this

0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:30.779
<v Speaker 2>crazy shit off the books with trying to create the

0:45:30.820 --> 0:45:33.900
<v Speaker 2>vision and all this other weird stuff is arrested.

0:45:34.540 --> 0:45:37.570
<v Speaker 3>We could see him come back in the new version

0:45:37.590 --> 0:45:38.669
<v Speaker 3>of damage control though.

0:45:38.690 --> 0:45:39.109
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

0:45:39.190 --> 0:45:43.069
<v Speaker 3>I think like him and then the Tramiel Tillman character,

0:45:43.390 --> 0:45:46.350
<v Speaker 3>they could definitely be on this together as a little

0:45:46.390 --> 0:45:49.450
<v Speaker 3>like undercover, got kicked out of the government.

0:45:49.989 --> 0:45:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I will say, you know what else I'm thinking is

0:45:52.620 --> 0:45:56.250
<v Speaker 2>Hayward is, Tramiel Tillman, who's named from brand new, do

0:45:56.290 --> 0:45:56.790
<v Speaker 2>I forget?

0:45:57.170 --> 0:45:57.930
<v Speaker 1>Sorry to that man.

0:45:58.170 --> 0:46:01.260
<v Speaker 2>Sorry to that man. The DOD man. But I think,

0:46:01.620 --> 0:46:03.460
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right. And I think these are going

0:46:03.480 --> 0:46:05.870
<v Speaker 2>to be, this is like future Orcus.

0:46:06.790 --> 0:46:07.530
<v Speaker 1>Yes, exactly.

0:46:07.630 --> 0:46:10.470
<v Speaker 4>I think this is the beginning of we saw how

0:46:10.510 --> 0:46:11.500
<v Speaker 4>bad it could get.

0:46:11.560 --> 0:46:12.180
<v Speaker 1>We were there.

0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:14.919
<v Speaker 2>Nobody believed us how bad it was going to be

0:46:14.960 --> 0:46:15.760
<v Speaker 2>with these guys.

0:46:16.160 --> 0:46:18.620
<v Speaker 1>Marvel loves to bring back new characters.

0:46:18.780 --> 0:46:21.259
<v Speaker 3>And we have recently had, I mean, old characters. And

0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:23.320
<v Speaker 3>we have recently had the announcement of the new TV

0:46:23.360 --> 0:46:25.580
<v Speaker 3>show Zodiac, which is very much going to be this

0:46:25.620 --> 0:46:28.660
<v Speaker 3>kind of spy thriller. Could be very interesting to see

0:46:28.700 --> 0:46:33.160
<v Speaker 3>that kind of, if they're, villains are making a top

0:46:33.200 --> 0:46:35.750
<v Speaker 3>level Orcus, they probably would also have a black level,

0:46:35.890 --> 0:46:38.410
<v Speaker 3>black ops version like Zodiac, which would be really cool.

0:46:38.830 --> 0:46:42.830
<v Speaker 2>So Hayward is arrested, post-credits scene, Wanda is living in

0:46:42.870 --> 0:46:44.870
<v Speaker 2>a cabin in what I can only imagine to be

0:46:45.330 --> 0:46:47.110
<v Speaker 2>Mount Wondegore, reading.

0:46:47.150 --> 0:46:49.430
<v Speaker 1>Come on! You know what it is! It's gotta be!

0:46:49.590 --> 0:46:52.430
<v Speaker 3>I asked them, they wouldn't say yes, but believe me,

0:46:52.510 --> 0:46:55.320
<v Speaker 3>I screamed when they said Mount Wondegore in Multiverse of Madness.

0:46:56.020 --> 0:46:59.680
<v Speaker 2>And she's up there, she's reading the Darkhold in astral form.

0:47:00.739 --> 0:47:05.630
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Strange style. And then she hears the plaintive sounds

0:47:05.650 --> 0:47:10.630
<v Speaker 2>of her boys calling for help. From there, it's Doctor

0:47:10.650 --> 0:47:13.989
<v Speaker 2>Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Darkhold corrupts Wanda.

0:47:14.410 --> 0:47:16.440
<v Speaker 2>She hunts America Chavez, who is a girl who can

0:47:16.480 --> 0:47:19.660
<v Speaker 2>travel between universes to take her power and reach a

0:47:19.860 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 2>universe where her sons are alive. She is, you know,

0:47:23.719 --> 0:47:27.200
<v Speaker 2>gone power mad with grief when the boys in that

0:47:27.300 --> 0:47:30.660
<v Speaker 2>universe are afraid of her. she kind of understands, like, oh,

0:47:30.700 --> 0:47:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to the dark side. At Mount Wondegore, she

0:47:33.460 --> 0:47:37.010
<v Speaker 2>destroys every copy of the Darkhold, and the mountain collapses

0:47:37.070 --> 0:47:40.690
<v Speaker 2>down on herself. Does she survive? Does she die? We

0:47:40.730 --> 0:47:44.850
<v Speaker 2>don't know. We think she survived. In Agatha All Along,

0:47:45.790 --> 0:47:48.890
<v Speaker 2>Agatha is asked, and her answer is yes, no, maybe,

0:47:49.170 --> 0:47:52.320
<v Speaker 2>on Wanda is Dead. Let's take a quick break, and

0:47:52.340 --> 0:48:09.700
<v Speaker 2>we'll come back with Act 3, Agatha All Along. And

0:48:09.719 --> 0:48:15.969
<v Speaker 2>we're back. Agatha all along. Homestretch, Westview, three years after that.

0:48:16.090 --> 0:48:19.670
<v Speaker 2>It's great. Three years after the Hex, Wanda's spell is

0:48:19.730 --> 0:48:25.050
<v Speaker 2>still kind of like simmering. Agatha believes that she is Agnes,

0:48:25.090 --> 0:48:28.320
<v Speaker 2>the character she was inside of the Hex. A detective

0:48:29.040 --> 0:48:31.850
<v Speaker 2>in a prestige cop show. working the case of a

0:48:31.910 --> 0:48:35.069
<v Speaker 2>Jane Doe found in the woods. An FBI agent named

0:48:35.110 --> 0:48:38.020
<v Speaker 2>Rio Vidal, played by Aubrey Plaza, joins the case and

0:48:38.080 --> 0:48:42.880
<v Speaker 2>keeps hinting that she knows who Agnes really is. A

0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:46.839
<v Speaker 2>teenager breaks into Agnes' house. She catches him and interrogates him.

0:48:46.890 --> 0:48:49.790
<v Speaker 2>He's played by Joe Locke. And the show calls him

0:48:49.890 --> 0:48:53.630
<v Speaker 2>Teen for the first- Teen! Several episodes.

0:48:55.290 --> 0:48:56.370
<v Speaker 1>But of course, he is Billy.

0:48:57.080 --> 0:49:02.200
<v Speaker 2>And he chants a spell and Wanda's hold breaks. And

0:49:02.560 --> 0:49:06.529
<v Speaker 2>the Jane Doe we discover was Wanda. Agatha then remembers

0:49:06.570 --> 0:49:10.589
<v Speaker 2>who she is. She wakes up like powerless in her

0:49:10.630 --> 0:49:13.290
<v Speaker 2>house in Westview. Rio comes back as a witch and

0:49:13.330 --> 0:49:15.430
<v Speaker 2>tries to kill her, but Agatha talks her way out

0:49:15.450 --> 0:49:19.969
<v Speaker 2>of it. And she also learns that, okay, I'm Agatha.

0:49:20.190 --> 0:49:22.660
<v Speaker 2>the Switch, and the Salem Seven, the coven of witches

0:49:22.700 --> 0:49:24.380
<v Speaker 2>whose power I stole back in the day, they are

0:49:24.420 --> 0:49:27.379
<v Speaker 2>coming for revenge. They're coming to kill me. She goes

0:49:27.420 --> 0:49:31.219
<v Speaker 2>to talk to the teen tied up in the closet, a.k.a.

0:49:32.340 --> 0:49:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Wanda's- Billy Maxwell!

0:49:35.320 --> 0:49:41.290
<v Speaker 2>Wanda's multi- dimensional son. I can explain later on once

0:49:41.330 --> 0:49:41.950
<v Speaker 2>we get to that.

0:49:42.030 --> 0:49:44.110
<v Speaker 1>I'll explain how it can happen.

0:49:44.969 --> 0:49:47.490
<v Speaker 2>So he's tied up in the closet, has a sigil

0:49:47.550 --> 0:49:49.740
<v Speaker 2>over his mouth that stops him from saying who he is.

0:49:50.510 --> 0:49:54.780
<v Speaker 2>He wants Agatha to take him down the legendary witch's road,

0:49:55.120 --> 0:49:58.400
<v Speaker 2>which is a path of magical trials that if you

0:49:58.420 --> 0:50:00.540
<v Speaker 2>get through all the trials, you get the thing you

0:50:00.560 --> 0:50:03.540
<v Speaker 2>want most at the end of it. Agatha needs to

0:50:03.600 --> 0:50:07.089
<v Speaker 2>get out of town anyway, so Agatha She's like, okay, well,

0:50:07.110 --> 0:50:08.930
<v Speaker 2>we need to assemble a coven in order to open

0:50:08.969 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 2>the witch's room. She starts recruiting witches. She recruits Lillia Calderu,

0:50:15.219 --> 0:50:19.280
<v Speaker 2>a divination witch. Patti LuPone, wonderful, incredible.

0:50:19.300 --> 0:50:22.410
<v Speaker 1>Crazy, crazy, crazy cost.

0:50:23.010 --> 0:50:27.670
<v Speaker 2>Jennifer Kale, a potions witch, played by SNL's Sushir Zameda.

0:50:28.270 --> 0:50:30.130
<v Speaker 1>Big comic connections, too.

0:50:30.430 --> 0:50:36.140
<v Speaker 2>Yes. Alice Wu Gulliver, a protection witch, played by Allie Ahn.

0:50:36.660 --> 0:50:41.440
<v Speaker 2>She's the daughter of rock star Lorna Wu, who recorded

0:50:41.480 --> 0:50:44.219
<v Speaker 2>the famous version of the Ballad of the Witch's Road,

0:50:44.280 --> 0:50:47.210
<v Speaker 2>which is like, I guess, a 70s prog rock hit.

0:50:49.250 --> 0:50:52.230
<v Speaker 2>And finally, they bring in the Green Witch, Sharon Davis, Mrs.

0:50:52.310 --> 0:50:58.390
<v Speaker 2>Hart from WandaVision. played by That 70s Show's Deborah Jo Rupp.

0:50:59.500 --> 0:51:00.779
<v Speaker 2>And she apparently has no magic at all.

0:51:01.080 --> 0:51:04.379
<v Speaker 3>Which, by the way, should give you a note. This

0:51:04.480 --> 0:51:06.360
<v Speaker 3>is where we start to get the hint about The

0:51:06.400 --> 0:51:09.120
<v Speaker 3>Witch's Road. But I also love the idea of acknowledging

0:51:09.180 --> 0:51:09.940
<v Speaker 3>a green magic.

0:51:10.000 --> 0:51:11.660
<v Speaker 1>A home witch, a hedge witch.

0:51:12.060 --> 0:51:14.540
<v Speaker 3>It's a fun lore thing, but really we're getting a

0:51:14.580 --> 0:51:17.029
<v Speaker 3>hint of what the true reveal of the show is.

0:51:17.710 --> 0:51:21.430
<v Speaker 2>So they sing the ballad of The Witch's Road.

0:51:21.930 --> 0:51:22.830
<v Speaker 1>Banger, by the way.

0:51:23.050 --> 0:51:26.569
<v Speaker 2>The Salem Seven, at that moment, attack the house that

0:51:26.590 --> 0:51:29.150
<v Speaker 2>they are in. A door opens in the floor, and

0:51:29.170 --> 0:51:32.160
<v Speaker 2>they manage to escape just ahead of the Salem Seven.

0:51:32.660 --> 0:51:36.820
<v Speaker 2>And each trial, we discover, is a house built around

0:51:37.260 --> 0:51:41.759
<v Speaker 2>one of the witches' histories. In the first house is

0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:44.340
<v Speaker 2>a beach house where they're poisoned, and they have to

0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:49.040
<v Speaker 2>brew an antidote with the teen's blood. Sharon sadly dies. R.I.P.

0:51:49.060 --> 0:51:51.690
<v Speaker 2>Sharon Davison. For the next trial, they summon a new

0:51:51.730 --> 0:51:55.239
<v Speaker 2>green witch, and Rio comes up out of the ground.

0:51:55.450 --> 0:51:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Should have been a hint about who she's going to be.

0:51:58.560 --> 0:52:02.900
<v Speaker 2>She and Agatha, we quickly discover, are exes, and there's

0:52:02.920 --> 0:52:04.779
<v Speaker 2>a lot of bad feelings between these two.

0:52:05.560 --> 0:52:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Unbelievable how they took what could have been like a campy,

0:52:09.700 --> 0:52:12.080
<v Speaker 3>and for the most parts in MCU, usually kind of

0:52:12.140 --> 0:52:17.460
<v Speaker 3>like cameo silly thing, and turned it into a heartbreaking

0:52:17.580 --> 0:52:22.969
<v Speaker 3>fucking story about parenthood and love and goddamn, like rewatching this,

0:52:23.090 --> 0:52:25.230
<v Speaker 3>everyone in our Discord was saying, should I rewatch Agatha?

0:52:25.250 --> 0:52:28.370
<v Speaker 3>Should I rewatch Agatha? One, rewatch it because it's great. Two,

0:52:28.410 --> 0:52:31.130
<v Speaker 3>rewatch it because I actually think so much of the

0:52:31.210 --> 0:52:33.830
<v Speaker 3>Billy lore, so much of the Rio Vidal stuff is

0:52:33.850 --> 0:52:35.790
<v Speaker 3>going to have to come back in Vision Quest.

0:52:35.930 --> 0:52:40.340
<v Speaker 2>I completely, completely agree. So Agatha and Rio turn out

0:52:40.360 --> 0:52:42.720
<v Speaker 2>to be exes and there's a lot of sniping between

0:52:42.780 --> 0:52:46.850
<v Speaker 2>them and hints that they're very different clearly juicy previous history.

0:52:47.550 --> 0:52:49.950
<v Speaker 2>Alex breaks a curse that has run through her family

0:52:49.989 --> 0:52:54.590
<v Speaker 2>for generations by playing her mom, her mom's version of

0:52:54.640 --> 0:52:58.779
<v Speaker 2>the ballad of The Coven. The teen gets stabbed, Jen

0:52:58.820 --> 0:53:02.140
<v Speaker 2>heals him, and Rio tells Agatha, you know, that boy

0:53:02.200 --> 0:53:05.779
<v Speaker 2>isn't yours. And of course we know whose boy that is.

0:53:06.100 --> 0:53:08.560
<v Speaker 2>The third trial is Agatha's. It's a cabin where they

0:53:08.600 --> 0:53:10.220
<v Speaker 2>contact the dead through a Ouija board.

0:53:10.680 --> 0:53:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Very 80s slasher, so fun.

0:53:12.140 --> 0:53:17.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yes, very, very Evil Dead 2. Sleepaway camp, Evil

0:53:17.340 --> 0:53:18.339
<v Speaker 2>Dead 2.

0:53:18.340 --> 0:53:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Like, it's all of them.

0:53:20.080 --> 0:53:22.540
<v Speaker 2>Agatha's mother comes through, and so does the voice of

0:53:22.600 --> 0:53:27.840
<v Speaker 2>a boy who we discover is Agatha's dead son. Nicholas Scratch. Uh-oh.

0:53:27.860 --> 0:53:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Name of the devil.

0:53:29.570 --> 0:53:33.850
<v Speaker 2>Name of the devil. Alice's skill is killed in this trial.

0:53:34.310 --> 0:53:37.410
<v Speaker 2>Agatha ends up with her power, as is her thing.

0:53:37.489 --> 0:53:40.650
<v Speaker 2>She steals the power of witches. The teen then accuses

0:53:40.830 --> 0:53:44.830
<v Speaker 2>Agatha of stealing it, And uses his own power to

0:53:44.870 --> 0:53:49.060
<v Speaker 2>throw Agatha, Lillia, and Jen out into a swamp. And

0:53:49.080 --> 0:53:55.400
<v Speaker 2>in the last shot of this episode, he is wearing, obviously, unambiguously,

0:53:55.900 --> 0:54:00.160
<v Speaker 2>the headpiece of Wiccan from the comic books. His coloring,

0:54:00.200 --> 0:54:02.880
<v Speaker 2>the color of his outfit the whole time has been Wiccan.

0:54:03.550 --> 0:54:07.130
<v Speaker 3>I think, if I'm not mistaken, the crown comes up

0:54:07.270 --> 0:54:09.750
<v Speaker 3>and then they drop Billie Eilish's You Should See Me

0:54:09.790 --> 0:54:13.050
<v Speaker 3>in a Crown. It was like a very crazy amount

0:54:13.070 --> 0:54:14.069
<v Speaker 3>of money they spent on that.

0:54:14.090 --> 0:54:15.820
<v Speaker 2>I know, it's like, You Should See Me in a Crown,

0:54:15.880 --> 0:54:19.239
<v Speaker 2>Billie Eilish for Billie. It's just like a.

0:54:19.219 --> 0:54:20.380
<v Speaker 1>Lot of great stuff.

0:54:20.580 --> 0:54:24.060
<v Speaker 3>And it's because they knew, look, the truth is, Agatha

0:54:24.080 --> 0:54:26.219
<v Speaker 3>all along was always a bit of a long shot,

0:54:26.300 --> 0:54:30.180
<v Speaker 3>I think, because there's musical elements, there's theatrical elements. It's

0:54:30.200 --> 0:54:33.520
<v Speaker 3>seen as a comedy because of Catherine Hahn. But they

0:54:33.600 --> 0:54:35.900
<v Speaker 3>knew this was a key introduction to someone who's going

0:54:35.920 --> 0:54:38.590
<v Speaker 3>to be a major player going forward. And they spent

0:54:38.650 --> 0:54:41.160
<v Speaker 3>the money on the moment. And that's why at D23,

0:54:41.989 --> 0:54:45.330
<v Speaker 3>it was so easy for them to cut a trailer

0:54:45.350 --> 0:54:47.730
<v Speaker 3>for Vision Quest that included so much of Agatha all

0:54:47.770 --> 0:54:50.800
<v Speaker 3>along because it actually looks fucking great and it holds up.

0:54:51.420 --> 0:54:53.620
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, then we get Billy's origin, which is like,

0:54:53.860 --> 0:54:54.319
<v Speaker 1>oh man.

0:54:54.340 --> 0:54:56.930
<v Speaker 2>Oh my God, it's great. So episode, the next episode

0:54:56.989 --> 0:54:59.950
<v Speaker 2>is the Billy bottle episode. We meet a boy named

0:54:59.989 --> 0:55:04.390
<v Speaker 2>William Kaplan at his bar mitzvah. Lilia is the palm

0:55:04.430 --> 0:55:07.700
<v Speaker 2>reader at the party. She slips a tile with a

0:55:07.820 --> 0:55:11.660
<v Speaker 2>symbol into his jacket pocket. It is the same symbol

0:55:11.700 --> 0:55:14.860
<v Speaker 2>that is later over his mouth, keeping him from telling

0:55:15.200 --> 0:55:19.040
<v Speaker 2>them his name. Driving home, the family passes police cars

0:55:19.080 --> 0:55:23.020
<v Speaker 2>heading towards Westview, where- The hex is just beginning to

0:55:23.080 --> 0:55:26.239
<v Speaker 2>dissolve at the end of WandaVision. A truck runs them

0:55:26.280 --> 0:55:31.180
<v Speaker 2>off the road. William dies, but then sits up yelling

0:55:31.200 --> 0:55:37.390
<v Speaker 2>the name Tommy. When Wanda's twins disappeared with the hex,

0:55:38.050 --> 0:55:40.430
<v Speaker 2>Billy's soul... That's.

0:55:40.050 --> 0:55:43.550
<v Speaker 1>Going to make me cry. I just love this story

0:55:43.630 --> 0:55:44.290
<v Speaker 1>so much.

0:55:44.570 --> 0:55:49.280
<v Speaker 2>So Billy's... Remember, the twins are creations of Wanda's magic,

0:55:49.320 --> 0:55:54.790
<v Speaker 2>but they were so... She has reality magic. So they

0:55:54.830 --> 0:56:01.590
<v Speaker 2>were real, not computer-generated. They were real people. And so

0:56:02.210 --> 0:56:06.989
<v Speaker 2>Billy's soul ended up in William's body because it was

0:56:07.010 --> 0:56:09.509
<v Speaker 2>looking for a place to go, and Billy died at

0:56:09.610 --> 0:56:11.160
<v Speaker 2>just the moment that the hex was coming.

0:56:11.300 --> 0:56:11.930
<v Speaker 1>Exactly.

0:56:12.050 --> 0:56:15.220
<v Speaker 3>And that is the implication here that we will see

0:56:15.660 --> 0:56:18.819
<v Speaker 3>also happen to Tommy, clearly, in Vision Quest, is that

0:56:18.860 --> 0:56:23.080
<v Speaker 3>when the hex drops, And obviously, Lillia, being a palm

0:56:23.120 --> 0:56:26.299
<v Speaker 3>reader who's connected to magic, saw that Billy was going

0:56:26.320 --> 0:56:30.569
<v Speaker 3>to die and put the sigil there so that there

0:56:30.590 --> 0:56:33.610
<v Speaker 3>would be space for whatever was going to come next

0:56:33.630 --> 0:56:34.790
<v Speaker 3>because she saw it happening.

0:56:35.390 --> 0:56:39.170
<v Speaker 1>This is so well done.

0:56:39.510 --> 0:56:42.529
<v Speaker 3>And I cannot tell you, like, even just thinking about

0:56:42.550 --> 0:56:45.840
<v Speaker 3>it was making me cry because also, this is at

0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:49.120
<v Speaker 3>the heart of the comic book story of Billy and

0:56:49.160 --> 0:56:49.710
<v Speaker 3>Tommy is.

0:56:50.600 --> 0:56:53.180
<v Speaker 1>is this a stolen life? Right, is it a stolen life?

0:56:53.580 --> 0:56:55.300
<v Speaker 1>Is it a stolen life, Dr.

0:56:55.320 --> 0:56:55.620
<v Speaker 4>Doom?

0:56:56.080 --> 0:57:00.300
<v Speaker 3>Also, remember, in Multiverse of Madness, they established that in

0:57:00.500 --> 0:57:03.720
<v Speaker 3>every other universe, Wanda has kids, right? So this universe,

0:57:03.739 --> 0:57:06.220
<v Speaker 3>she is not supposed to have them, which means this

0:57:06.300 --> 0:57:08.400
<v Speaker 3>is the only universe where this version of Billy and

0:57:08.420 --> 0:57:11.320
<v Speaker 3>Tommy exists, meaning that they too could be some of

0:57:11.380 --> 0:57:15.640
<v Speaker 3>these anchor or nexus iterations, right? Because these are completely

0:57:15.800 --> 0:57:18.880
<v Speaker 3>unique creations, but they are real people now.

0:57:19.840 --> 0:57:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely love that. So Billy's soul went into William's body.

0:57:24.220 --> 0:57:27.860
<v Speaker 2>And so William's body now has Billy's personality and Billy

0:57:27.890 --> 0:57:32.110
<v Speaker 2>doesn't know like what just happened. All he knew was

0:57:32.170 --> 0:57:35.530
<v Speaker 2>his life in Westview in that weird magical TV reality.

0:57:35.590 --> 0:57:37.910
<v Speaker 2>And all of a sudden he's living with these people

0:57:38.050 --> 0:57:41.660
<v Speaker 2>who are his parents. And, you know, for three years,

0:57:41.720 --> 0:57:45.400
<v Speaker 2>people think he has amnesia because he's like, doesn't remember

0:57:45.580 --> 0:57:47.060
<v Speaker 2>all of the stuff.

0:57:46.720 --> 0:57:50.880
<v Speaker 3>And, I'm really excited to know how time felt for

0:57:50.900 --> 0:57:51.540
<v Speaker 3>those kids.

0:57:52.080 --> 0:57:54.780
<v Speaker 1>Did they experience a whole childhood like that?

0:57:54.860 --> 0:57:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Because that is very fucking hardcore and existential if they

0:57:58.460 --> 0:57:59.200
<v Speaker 3>experienced that.

0:57:59.260 --> 0:58:01.120
<v Speaker 1>And, you know, we saw it in a couple of days,

0:58:01.180 --> 0:58:02.710
<v Speaker 1>but for them it might have felt like life.

0:58:03.270 --> 0:58:07.150
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So he can hear what people are thinking because

0:58:07.650 --> 0:58:12.050
<v Speaker 2>of his Billy kind of think of Wiccan's powers as like,

0:58:13.130 --> 0:58:16.890
<v Speaker 2>Hex Powers Jr. He's not as powerful as the Scarlet Witch,

0:58:16.910 --> 0:58:20.230
<v Speaker 2>but they're very similar power sets. He has a boyfriend

0:58:20.270 --> 0:58:25.210
<v Speaker 2>named Eddie. He investigates the night of the accident and

0:58:25.270 --> 0:58:29.230
<v Speaker 2>finds Ralph Boner, current day, who tells him what happened

0:58:29.270 --> 0:58:33.390
<v Speaker 2>in Westview. Oh, Wanda had twin sons named Billy and Tommy,

0:58:33.410 --> 0:58:35.890
<v Speaker 2>and the boys disappeared, and the witch who controlled Ralph

0:58:35.990 --> 0:58:39.500
<v Speaker 2>Boner is still in town under some kind of spell.

0:58:39.900 --> 0:58:44.410
<v Speaker 2>Billy goes to Westview. breaks Agatha out. And in the present,

0:58:45.150 --> 0:58:48.410
<v Speaker 2>he crushes that tile that Lillia put in his jacket

0:58:48.530 --> 0:58:50.419
<v Speaker 2>and the sigil is gone. And now he can say,

0:58:50.440 --> 0:58:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I am Billy Maximoff. And what he wants at the

0:58:54.200 --> 0:58:59.220
<v Speaker 2>end of the road is his brother, Tommy. This is, again,

0:58:59.880 --> 0:59:02.180
<v Speaker 2>you can see how now this is leading us directly

0:59:02.240 --> 0:59:07.270
<v Speaker 2>into Vision Quest. Episode seven, Lillia has been experiencing time

0:59:07.330 --> 0:59:09.630
<v Speaker 2>out of order for the whole show, we discover. She

0:59:09.650 --> 0:59:12.740
<v Speaker 2>put the sigil on Billy to hide him until he

0:59:12.780 --> 0:59:16.200
<v Speaker 2>was ready to kind of, you know, grasp who he

0:59:16.240 --> 0:59:20.180
<v Speaker 2>fully was. The trial is a tower reading under a

0:59:20.260 --> 0:59:24.970
<v Speaker 2>ceiling of swords that's like coming down steadily. Lillia realizes that,

0:59:25.530 --> 0:59:30.360
<v Speaker 2>hold on, Rio is deaf, the original Green Witch. And

0:59:30.460 --> 0:59:33.500
<v Speaker 2>when the Salem Seven finally arrive, Lillia flips the tower

0:59:33.560 --> 0:59:38.090
<v Speaker 2>card and drops them and the swords and herself onto

0:59:38.120 --> 0:59:44.689
<v Speaker 2>the sword. Episode eight, Rio explains what she wants as death.

0:59:45.530 --> 0:59:49.850
<v Speaker 2>Billy shouldn't exist, right? He cheated death by taking William's body.

0:59:50.430 --> 0:59:53.520
<v Speaker 2>And if he succeeds in bringing Tommy back the same way,

0:59:53.960 --> 0:59:56.439
<v Speaker 2>that would be a second time that someone has cheated death.

0:59:56.520 --> 0:59:58.860
<v Speaker 2>And of course, if you really go into it, his

0:59:58.940 --> 1:00:00.540
<v Speaker 2>soul shouldn't exist, the whole thing.

1:00:00.740 --> 1:00:03.919
<v Speaker 3>Also as well, we will learn that there are other

1:00:03.980 --> 1:00:08.640
<v Speaker 3>reasons why this specific issue of keeping a child alive

1:00:08.780 --> 1:00:13.260
<v Speaker 3>is deep between them. Again, fantastic writing. not something from

1:00:13.300 --> 1:00:16.950
<v Speaker 3>the comics, something they added in totally. I love this relationship.

1:00:17.910 --> 1:00:21.130
<v Speaker 2>She's like, I can't, I can't take Billy because he'll

1:00:21.150 --> 1:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>be reborn somewhere else. Billy has to come to me.

1:00:23.860 --> 1:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>So Agatha agrees to deliver Billy in exchange for Rio death,

1:00:29.360 --> 1:00:34.720
<v Speaker 2>leaving her alone. Jen finds out her power, um, was

1:00:34.860 --> 1:00:38.220
<v Speaker 2>bound a century ago by a doctor who was Agatha

1:00:38.300 --> 1:00:39.220
<v Speaker 2>in disguise.

1:00:39.680 --> 1:00:42.960
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and he was a white male doctor. They play

1:00:43.000 --> 1:00:44.630
<v Speaker 4>him very much like a H.

1:00:45.260 --> 1:00:51.590
<v Speaker 3>Holmes style, like Chicago World's Fair nightmare serial. This was

1:00:51.670 --> 1:00:54.910
<v Speaker 3>obviously a very traumatizing experience for Jen.

1:00:54.970 --> 1:00:55.209
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely.

1:00:55.790 --> 1:00:58.910
<v Speaker 1>And again, why did Agatha bind her power?

1:00:58.970 --> 1:01:01.510
<v Speaker 3>I think this could come into play because Jen is

1:01:01.550 --> 1:01:04.030
<v Speaker 3>a very powerful magical user. And I think Agatha was

1:01:04.150 --> 1:01:06.780
<v Speaker 3>scared that she wouldn't be able to steal her power.

1:01:07.030 --> 1:01:08.740
<v Speaker 1>And that's why she bound her back then.

1:01:08.760 --> 1:01:11.720
<v Speaker 3>And I wonder if that's going to come into play because-

1:01:12.190 --> 1:01:14.110
<v Speaker 3>You know, Jen unbinds herself and just leaves.

1:01:14.530 --> 1:01:15.110
<v Speaker 2>She just leaves.

1:01:15.450 --> 1:01:18.810
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so she's out there in the world. Could Doom

1:01:18.870 --> 1:01:19.410
<v Speaker 1>call her?

1:01:19.450 --> 1:01:21.610
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they'd be lucky to get Sasha and Zemir

1:01:21.650 --> 1:01:23.010
<v Speaker 3>in that frickin' movie.

1:01:23.270 --> 1:01:25.330
<v Speaker 2>I think that would be awesome. So Agatha tries to

1:01:25.390 --> 1:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>help reach Billy through... Help Billy reach Tommy through his

1:01:29.950 --> 1:01:32.360
<v Speaker 2>memory of the night that the Hex fell apart.

1:01:32.660 --> 1:01:32.820
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

1:01:32.920 --> 1:01:35.880
<v Speaker 2>And Billy vanishes from the room. Agatha ends up back

1:01:35.940 --> 1:01:40.960
<v Speaker 2>in Westview with Rio. Billy returns, now with his full power,

1:01:41.080 --> 1:01:45.030
<v Speaker 2>and fights... Death, Rio. Rio offers a trade. Okay, one

1:01:45.070 --> 1:01:47.470
<v Speaker 2>of them comes with me. One of you comes with

1:01:47.510 --> 1:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>me and the other lives. So Billy's like, okay, I'll come.

1:01:50.980 --> 1:01:54.860
<v Speaker 2>Agatha takes his place, kisses Rio and dies. Back home,

1:01:55.400 --> 1:01:59.030
<v Speaker 2>Billy looks at the Lorna Wu poster. the Wizard of Oz,

1:01:59.170 --> 1:02:03.080
<v Speaker 2>set in his room and realizes that he created all.

1:02:03.340 --> 1:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Of the world.

1:02:05.020 --> 1:02:09.480
<v Speaker 2>His reality magic is what informed all of the stylistic

1:02:09.520 --> 1:02:12.230
<v Speaker 2>choices of the road. He made it real in the

1:02:12.270 --> 1:02:15.060
<v Speaker 2>same way that his mom made what was happening inside

1:02:15.080 --> 1:02:17.470
<v Speaker 2>the Hex in Westview real. So his powers are developing

1:02:17.490 --> 1:02:18.050
<v Speaker 2>just like hers.

1:02:18.450 --> 1:02:21.710
<v Speaker 1>So the Witch's Road didn't exist before this, Jason?

1:02:22.230 --> 1:02:23.050
<v Speaker 2>What?

1:02:23.110 --> 1:02:26.990
<v Speaker 3>Dude, this reveal, we've been theorizing it, but it is

1:02:27.130 --> 1:02:30.910
<v Speaker 3>so fucking hardcore. And again, I got to tell you guys,

1:02:31.210 --> 1:02:33.650
<v Speaker 3>we give James Gunn a lot of hype for supporting

1:02:33.710 --> 1:02:36.270
<v Speaker 3>villains and his focus on villains in this new era.

1:02:36.690 --> 1:02:39.340
<v Speaker 3>But for Marvel to make an entire show where they

1:02:39.390 --> 1:02:42.720
<v Speaker 3>make you root for a mass murderer, and even at

1:02:42.760 --> 1:02:45.260
<v Speaker 3>the end when they reveal what happens.

1:02:46.960 --> 1:02:51.360
<v Speaker 4>You still want to see more Agatha. That's good fucking writing, man.

1:02:51.780 --> 1:02:55.070
<v Speaker 3>And this episode 9 really kicks it home, I think.

1:02:55.550 --> 1:03:00.110
<v Speaker 2>I completely agree. So we go to episode 9. Finale, 1750.

1:03:00.110 --> 1:03:04.730
<v Speaker 2>Agatha gives birth alone in the woods. Rio appears and says...

1:03:05.650 --> 1:03:09.450
<v Speaker 2>it's time for Agatha or the baby to come with me. So,

1:03:10.110 --> 1:03:13.160
<v Speaker 2>but Agatha convinces Rio to give her more time. The

1:03:13.200 --> 1:03:16.780
<v Speaker 2>boy is Nicholas Scratch and Agatha keeps him alive with

1:03:16.990 --> 1:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>power that she steals from other witches because he can't

1:03:20.600 --> 1:03:24.060
<v Speaker 2>survive any other way. When he's sitting, she is, let

1:03:24.080 --> 1:03:25.740
<v Speaker 2>me tell you, she is murdering throughout these.

1:03:25.760 --> 1:03:26.060
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

1:03:26.340 --> 1:03:29.500
<v Speaker 3>So she has found out that this, you know, this

1:03:29.580 --> 1:03:33.000
<v Speaker 3>kind of like, The Ballad of the Witch's Road, which again,

1:03:33.080 --> 1:03:36.300
<v Speaker 3>complete banger. I love the Lorna Wu version that they created.

1:03:36.390 --> 1:03:40.230
<v Speaker 3>There's multiple different versions on the soundtrack. She essentially created

1:03:40.290 --> 1:03:43.150
<v Speaker 3>it as a way to keep her son alive. And

1:03:43.370 --> 1:03:46.780
<v Speaker 3>I would say, look, People in the Discord say you

1:03:46.820 --> 1:03:49.100
<v Speaker 3>only see her kill maybe like a few dozen people.

1:03:49.420 --> 1:03:50.860
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, babe.

1:03:51.200 --> 1:03:53.439
<v Speaker 3>She was keeping that kid alive for a long time.

1:03:53.460 --> 1:03:57.700
<v Speaker 3>That song was so catchy. She's leading girls down to

1:03:57.720 --> 1:03:59.060
<v Speaker 3>the road. There's no road.

1:03:59.340 --> 1:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>And then she just steals the power.

1:04:01.880 --> 1:04:04.810
<v Speaker 2>Every meal is dead people.

1:04:05.010 --> 1:04:08.010
<v Speaker 1>At least six souls or something.

1:04:08.030 --> 1:04:08.490
<v Speaker 4>Come on.

1:04:09.910 --> 1:04:12.590
<v Speaker 2>And listen, no judgment, but she killed a lot. Let's

1:04:12.630 --> 1:04:15.270
<v Speaker 2>just be honest about it. She committed a lot of murders.

1:04:15.810 --> 1:04:20.380
<v Speaker 2>When Nicholas is six, he goes with Rio. And after

1:04:20.500 --> 1:04:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Agatha buries him, a witch hears her singing the ballad

1:04:24.320 --> 1:04:27.440
<v Speaker 2>and asks to be shown the road. That becomes Agatha's

1:04:27.500 --> 1:04:31.990
<v Speaker 2>method of luring witch victims for the next few centuries.

1:04:32.030 --> 1:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>She uses the ballad. to gather covens around her. Yeah,

1:04:35.060 --> 1:04:37.820
<v Speaker 2>we're going to, hey, we're going to all traipse down

1:04:38.100 --> 1:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>the Witch's Road together.

1:04:39.660 --> 1:04:40.100
<v Speaker 1>Sing the song!

1:04:40.120 --> 1:04:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, go down the Witch's Road! And then she kills

1:04:44.440 --> 1:04:46.500
<v Speaker 2>them and steals their power. So she's just been doing

1:04:46.520 --> 1:04:49.840
<v Speaker 2>this and getting more and more powerful until eventually, of course,

1:04:49.880 --> 1:04:53.970
<v Speaker 2>she ends up in WandaVision. The road was never real, however.

1:04:53.990 --> 1:04:57.190
<v Speaker 2>It was only legendary until Billy wanted it to be.

1:04:57.210 --> 1:05:01.350
<v Speaker 2>Billy realizes that he led the coven, the coven from

1:05:01.390 --> 1:05:05.810
<v Speaker 2>the show, to their deaths. Agatha, now a ghost, points

1:05:05.890 --> 1:05:07.670
<v Speaker 2>out that, well, Jen survived.

1:05:07.730 --> 1:05:09.410
<v Speaker 1>She got out. She crawls her way out of the dirt.

1:05:09.450 --> 1:05:13.270
<v Speaker 2>She flies off. Billy tries to banish Agatha's ghost, but

1:05:13.350 --> 1:05:15.450
<v Speaker 2>she stays and admits that she doesn't want to cross

1:05:15.530 --> 1:05:19.550
<v Speaker 2>over and face Nikki, who we know to be the devil, probably,

1:05:19.590 --> 1:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>and also her son. Billy turns the entrance to the

1:05:24.240 --> 1:05:27.140
<v Speaker 2>road into a headstone for the coven, and he and

1:05:27.300 --> 1:05:34.260
<v Speaker 2>Agatha leave together, and he says, let's go find Tom. Okay,

1:05:34.320 --> 1:05:37.460
<v Speaker 2>let's go to ad break and we will sum up

1:05:37.800 --> 1:05:40.310
<v Speaker 2>where all these main characters ended up at the end

1:05:40.350 --> 1:05:42.790
<v Speaker 2>of all of this and the last time we saw them.

1:05:43.170 --> 1:05:46.860
<v Speaker 2>And then we'll talk about, you know, briefly Vision Quest

1:05:47.500 --> 1:06:05.460
<v Speaker 2>ahead of Vision Quest. Yep. And we're back. Okay, so

1:06:05.520 --> 1:06:11.430
<v Speaker 2>here is the status of everybody currently as we head

1:06:11.470 --> 1:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>into Vision Quest. Ultron, last seen in Sokovia in 2015,

1:06:15.550 --> 1:06:19.260
<v Speaker 2>destroyed offscreen. We know James Spader is in Vision Quest.

1:06:19.720 --> 1:06:23.540
<v Speaker 2>And of course, now we theorized that potentially the voice

1:06:23.600 --> 1:06:26.660
<v Speaker 2>that was whispering from the Mind Stone to Vision in

1:06:26.720 --> 1:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Infinity War was perhaps Ultron. Jarvis, Tony's AI, uploaded into

1:06:33.760 --> 1:06:42.490
<v Speaker 2>the Vibranium synthetic body mesh in 2015. And we know

1:06:42.530 --> 1:06:45.190
<v Speaker 2>from Vision Quest footage that he's in there along with

1:06:45.330 --> 1:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>other Stark AIs, including Friday and Edith in Human Force.

1:06:50.030 --> 1:06:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Director Hayward of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been arrested. We don't know

1:06:53.340 --> 1:06:54.200
<v Speaker 2>where they're keeping him.

1:06:54.220 --> 1:06:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Potentially on the run in our headcanon with Bill Metzger,

1:06:58.660 --> 1:06:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Tramiel Tillman's character.

1:06:59.920 --> 1:07:05.900
<v Speaker 2>The ODC. Wanda, dead or alive under the ruins of

1:07:05.960 --> 1:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Mount Wondegore, unconfirmed.

1:07:07.700 --> 1:07:11.010
<v Speaker 3>Or resting and healing up to come and find her sons,

1:07:11.050 --> 1:07:11.470
<v Speaker 3>question mark.

1:07:11.490 --> 1:07:14.310
<v Speaker 1>Because look, even if Wanda was dead, she's alive.

1:07:14.330 --> 1:07:19.350
<v Speaker 3>But if they narratively want to explain it, If her

1:07:19.450 --> 1:07:21.670
<v Speaker 3>sons come back to life, you know that bitch is

1:07:21.690 --> 1:07:23.570
<v Speaker 3>coming back from the dead. Like if she hears them

1:07:23.650 --> 1:07:26.570
<v Speaker 3>on this plane, she's coming. And God damn, if you

1:07:26.590 --> 1:07:27.290
<v Speaker 3>try to take them.

1:07:27.210 --> 1:07:27.690
<v Speaker 1>Away from her.

1:07:27.710 --> 1:07:29.729
<v Speaker 3>Look, I know a lot of people were not happy

1:07:29.770 --> 1:07:32.380
<v Speaker 3>with her representation in Multiverse of Madness, but I thought

1:07:32.390 --> 1:07:34.640
<v Speaker 3>it was fucking cool as hell. And I think it's

1:07:34.700 --> 1:07:37.540
<v Speaker 3>time for Rage for Women. And also, you know who

1:07:37.580 --> 1:07:39.220
<v Speaker 3>she would be an incredible mentor for?

1:07:39.480 --> 1:07:41.530
<v Speaker 1>Jean Grey. Let's let them do it.

1:07:42.140 --> 1:07:44.300
<v Speaker 2>I was about to, you know, I was going to say,

1:07:45.120 --> 1:07:46.960
<v Speaker 2>And we'll talk about this a little bit more at

1:07:47.000 --> 1:07:50.080
<v Speaker 2>the end. But I think that there's, I think Wanda

1:07:50.160 --> 1:07:54.230
<v Speaker 2>is like, I loved my time with the Avengers, but

1:07:54.250 --> 1:07:55.310
<v Speaker 2>it's been nothing but pain.

1:07:55.470 --> 1:07:55.890
<v Speaker 1>Yes, exactly.

1:07:55.910 --> 1:07:58.390
<v Speaker 2>And look where it's brought me. All of this bullshit.

1:07:58.930 --> 1:08:02.270
<v Speaker 2>I'm going with a different group now. And it's this

1:08:02.310 --> 1:08:05.200
<v Speaker 2>group that I kind of pioneered a little bit. It's

1:08:05.340 --> 1:08:06.460
<v Speaker 2>these mutant folks.

1:08:06.480 --> 1:08:08.060
<v Speaker 1>Young people who were tested on.

1:08:08.080 --> 1:08:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Yes. Yes.

1:08:10.570 --> 1:08:13.310
<v Speaker 2>Who have been the victims of all this terrible stuff.

1:08:13.390 --> 1:08:15.130
<v Speaker 2>And I really, that resonates with me.

1:08:15.490 --> 1:08:18.850
<v Speaker 3>They couldn't do Weapon X because they didn't have the X-Men.

1:08:19.310 --> 1:08:21.650
<v Speaker 3>So what we first got to see them being tested

1:08:21.689 --> 1:08:24.189
<v Speaker 3>on was like these Nazi occult experiments. A lot of

1:08:24.229 --> 1:08:27.250
<v Speaker 3>what they did with her was pre-Jean Grey, very Jean

1:08:27.290 --> 1:08:28.270
<v Speaker 3>Grey inspired.

1:08:28.390 --> 1:08:30.060
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's cool stuff.

1:08:30.600 --> 1:08:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so Agatha, last seen dead, of course, captured by Rio.

1:08:35.680 --> 1:08:39.680
<v Speaker 2>She's a ghost and she's haunting Billy. Rio, aka Death,

1:08:40.939 --> 1:08:47.049
<v Speaker 2>Last seen wanting Billy, his soul, and will not allow

1:08:47.310 --> 1:08:49.990
<v Speaker 2>Tommy to be brought back by magical means or any other.

1:08:50.090 --> 1:08:50.550
<v Speaker 1>Uh-oh.

1:08:50.590 --> 1:08:50.910
<v Speaker 3>Seems.

1:08:51.770 --> 1:08:55.270
<v Speaker 2>Billy, living in the body of William Kaplan, looking for

1:08:55.330 --> 1:08:59.970
<v Speaker 2>his brother, but exists. Tommy, we know from Vision Quest footage.

1:09:00.360 --> 1:09:04.220
<v Speaker 2>alive somewhere in someone else's body, probably the same way

1:09:04.280 --> 1:09:07.460
<v Speaker 2>that Billy came to inhabit William's body, right?

1:09:07.560 --> 1:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Exactly.

1:09:07.900 --> 1:09:09.519
<v Speaker 2>That's got to be the thing that.

1:09:13.390 --> 1:09:16.710
<v Speaker 3>Another kid who has this amnesia, who's having these flashes.

1:09:17.070 --> 1:09:19.370
<v Speaker 3>We also see that they seem to have given him

1:09:19.470 --> 1:09:23.530
<v Speaker 3>his time powers, which is a newer thing from the comics.

1:09:23.729 --> 1:09:27.229
<v Speaker 3>It seems to be more aligned with like Vision and

1:09:27.250 --> 1:09:28.590
<v Speaker 3>Scarlet Witch's powers.

1:09:28.650 --> 1:09:30.679
<v Speaker 1>The idea of him being like their true child.

1:09:31.060 --> 1:09:33.320
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be really interesting to see where this

1:09:33.360 --> 1:09:35.160
<v Speaker 3>goes because we have not met anyone.

1:09:35.180 --> 1:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>We have not met Tommy Shepard, this version. They recast him.

1:09:38.280 --> 1:09:39.259
<v Speaker 1>It's a new actor.

1:09:39.660 --> 1:09:43.719
<v Speaker 3>And it seems like, His relationship to Vision and Ultron

1:09:43.820 --> 1:09:46.160
<v Speaker 3>is really going to be the key at the center

1:09:46.200 --> 1:09:48.300
<v Speaker 3>of this. And I think that is what's going to

1:09:48.380 --> 1:09:52.660
<v Speaker 3>humanize Ultron and Vision in whatever grand schemes they're making.

1:09:52.680 --> 1:09:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I think the quest for Tommy is.

1:09:55.160 --> 1:09:59.470
<v Speaker 3>Going to play that, especially because in the trailer, he says,

1:10:00.229 --> 1:10:03.309
<v Speaker 3>Ultron says to Vision, who says they're not real?

1:10:03.910 --> 1:10:04.090
<v Speaker 4>Right.

1:10:04.380 --> 1:10:05.620
<v Speaker 1>Like, they're your kids. You're here.

1:10:05.880 --> 1:10:08.060
<v Speaker 3>Aren't you not real? Like, why are they not real?

1:10:08.100 --> 1:10:10.020
<v Speaker 3>So I think he's going to be encouraging them. The

1:10:10.160 --> 1:10:15.809
<v Speaker 3>idea of, like, science versus magic, Ultron versus Rio. You know,

1:10:16.229 --> 1:10:17.370
<v Speaker 3>Rio doesn't want them.

1:10:17.530 --> 1:10:18.070
<v Speaker 2>Ultron does.

1:10:18.130 --> 1:10:20.130
<v Speaker 1>That's so interesting, Jason.

1:10:20.370 --> 1:10:24.270
<v Speaker 2>It's very fascinating. And as we have seen from the

1:10:24.310 --> 1:10:29.850
<v Speaker 2>beginning of this recap, Vision is a creation of magic

1:10:29.910 --> 1:10:33.099
<v Speaker 2>and technology. Wanda, of course, pure magic. And so, like,

1:10:33.120 --> 1:10:33.679
<v Speaker 2>this whole.

1:10:34.200 --> 1:10:37.339
<v Speaker 1>very Latverian.

1:10:36.160 --> 1:10:39.180
<v Speaker 2>I love it very much and it's you can see

1:10:39.240 --> 1:10:41.660
<v Speaker 2>why Doom would be very interesting in this family exactly

1:10:41.720 --> 1:10:45.980
<v Speaker 2>and then finally Vision recall that in WandaVision the Vision

1:10:46.020 --> 1:10:48.550
<v Speaker 2>that we spent most of our time with was a

1:10:48.590 --> 1:10:51.550
<v Speaker 2>creation of Wanda disappeared and so the Vision that exists

1:10:51.590 --> 1:10:54.750
<v Speaker 2>now is the White Vision last seen flying away from

1:10:54.790 --> 1:10:59.370
<v Speaker 2>Westview in the WandaVision finale and Paul Bettany has said

1:10:59.430 --> 1:11:01.870
<v Speaker 2>at New York Comic Con that he has all of

1:11:02.210 --> 1:11:05.520
<v Speaker 2>White Vision has all of Vision's memories but Not necessarily

1:11:05.570 --> 1:11:07.780
<v Speaker 2>all of the emotions and feelings, which is just like

1:11:07.800 --> 1:11:08.420
<v Speaker 2>in the comics.

1:11:08.560 --> 1:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Exactly.

1:11:09.460 --> 1:11:14.090
<v Speaker 2>Vision dies, comes back as white Vision, is kind of recreated,

1:11:14.430 --> 1:11:17.330
<v Speaker 2>and knows everything that happened, but doesn't necessarily feel as

1:11:17.410 --> 1:11:20.480
<v Speaker 2>warmly towards Wanda or his other friends. Yeah.

1:11:21.240 --> 1:11:23.980
<v Speaker 3>And Wanda at that time in the comics is dating

1:11:24.040 --> 1:11:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Simon Williams, who is the man that Ultron's brain scans

1:11:29.260 --> 1:11:29.740
<v Speaker 3>are based on.

1:11:29.860 --> 1:11:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Crazy stuff, right?

1:11:32.780 --> 1:11:36.500
<v Speaker 3>But basically, what ends up happening again is Wanda and

1:11:36.540 --> 1:11:39.590
<v Speaker 3>Vision still find that connection as outsiders, even under the

1:11:39.650 --> 1:11:40.700
<v Speaker 3>white Vision mantle.

1:11:40.810 --> 1:11:44.380
<v Speaker 1>And I think that this show is essentially... I mean,

1:11:44.520 --> 1:11:45.479
<v Speaker 1>and this should make.

1:11:45.380 --> 1:11:47.799
<v Speaker 3>Sense and should have kind of been what we were seeing,

1:11:47.840 --> 1:11:50.559
<v Speaker 3>but I guess none of us had really comprehended post

1:11:50.600 --> 1:11:53.080
<v Speaker 3>the last five years, how much the conversation has changed,

1:11:53.439 --> 1:11:56.460
<v Speaker 3>how much they still understood what a hit WandaVision is.

1:11:56.800 --> 1:12:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Because I think we can basically see this as Vision's WandaVision, right?

1:12:01.280 --> 1:12:03.140
<v Speaker 3>You got the Wanda part and now you're getting the

1:12:03.180 --> 1:12:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Vision quest part.

1:12:04.140 --> 1:12:06.420
<v Speaker 1>In the middle was Agatha to introduce the kids, to

1:12:06.460 --> 1:12:07.420
<v Speaker 1>introduce the magic.

1:12:07.860 --> 1:12:10.660
<v Speaker 3>And this is really going to be, if Vision created

1:12:10.700 --> 1:12:12.400
<v Speaker 3>a hex, what would it look like?

1:12:14.990 --> 1:12:20.870
<v Speaker 2>Think that the timing of this show must mean that

1:12:20.930 --> 1:12:24.340
<v Speaker 2>it leads to Doomsday somehow. I think we are going

1:12:24.439 --> 1:12:29.420
<v Speaker 2>to discover through this something of the setup that allows,

1:12:29.939 --> 1:12:32.700
<v Speaker 2>if Wanda is one of the Latverian witches, which we expect,

1:12:33.340 --> 1:12:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I think we're going to kind of understand more of

1:12:35.680 --> 1:12:39.059
<v Speaker 2>what Doom is interested in by the end of this series.

1:12:39.140 --> 1:12:43.780
<v Speaker 2>And the second thing is, I also think that Ultron

1:12:43.800 --> 1:12:49.780
<v Speaker 2>died offscreen He's back now in Vision's mind, question mark.

1:12:49.880 --> 1:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>And clearly part of his whole thing, which he has

1:12:53.100 --> 1:12:55.240
<v Speaker 2>never given up, is he wants to create a body

1:12:55.280 --> 1:12:55.780
<v Speaker 2>for himself.

1:12:55.979 --> 1:12:56.759
<v Speaker 1>Exactly.

1:12:56.780 --> 1:13:00.229
<v Speaker 2>I think and I think he will do it. And

1:13:00.240 --> 1:13:02.650
<v Speaker 2>I think by the end of this show and possibly

1:13:02.689 --> 1:13:06.300
<v Speaker 2>by the end of Doomsday Secret Wars. Ultron will be

1:13:06.340 --> 1:13:08.670
<v Speaker 2>back on the board as a villain for the.

1:13:08.740 --> 1:13:09.980
<v Speaker 1>Infinity Ultron.

1:13:10.000 --> 1:13:11.979
<v Speaker 3>I've been saying to you guys, this was the biggest

1:13:12.020 --> 1:13:14.019
<v Speaker 3>thing that came out of What If. We've had a

1:13:14.080 --> 1:13:17.230
<v Speaker 3>lot of people asking about the universes that have been destroyed.

1:13:17.250 --> 1:13:18.950
<v Speaker 3>It does look like that was one of them. I

1:13:19.510 --> 1:13:22.729
<v Speaker 3>would also say that one of the most interesting things

1:13:22.830 --> 1:13:25.849
<v Speaker 3>to me, jumping off what you just said, Jason, is...

1:13:26.830 --> 1:13:29.630
<v Speaker 3>How does Wanda come back and how does it connect

1:13:29.650 --> 1:13:30.050
<v Speaker 3>with what we.

1:13:30.030 --> 1:13:30.770
<v Speaker 1>Know from the comics?

1:13:31.170 --> 1:13:34.400
<v Speaker 3>In the comics, Kang, who if we remember was the

1:13:34.450 --> 1:13:36.680
<v Speaker 3>original villain that this story was supposed to be about,

1:13:37.220 --> 1:13:40.300
<v Speaker 3>marries Wanda, right? He wants to marry her. He wants

1:13:40.340 --> 1:13:43.060
<v Speaker 3>to take on her powers as a Nexus being. I

1:13:43.360 --> 1:13:46.880
<v Speaker 3>wonder if when Vision comes out of this world and

1:13:46.939 --> 1:13:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Wanda is brought back, she is at the side of

1:13:49.100 --> 1:13:52.500
<v Speaker 3>Doom as his seeming wife, as the leader of Latveria.

1:13:52.820 --> 1:13:56.059
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if that will be the romantic entanglement. Because

1:13:56.100 --> 1:13:57.180
<v Speaker 1>it makes a lot of sense.

1:13:57.260 --> 1:14:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Elizabeth Olsen, Tony Stark, it would be interesting to see.

1:14:00.340 --> 1:14:03.340
<v Speaker 3>I will be very intrigued. And I don't think it

1:14:03.380 --> 1:14:05.120
<v Speaker 3>would be a romantic thing. I think it would be

1:14:05.160 --> 1:14:08.559
<v Speaker 3>a business thing. But I'm interested to see how it lives.

1:14:08.640 --> 1:14:09.420
<v Speaker 1>Because also.

1:14:10.300 --> 1:14:12.320
<v Speaker 3>In the new trailer for Vision Quest, there is a

1:14:12.360 --> 1:14:15.430
<v Speaker 3>scene with Agatha and Billy where she says to him

1:14:16.010 --> 1:14:18.090
<v Speaker 3>something about his lives, and he goes, how could I.

1:14:18.090 --> 1:14:20.070
<v Speaker 1>Have two lives, right?

1:14:20.170 --> 1:14:22.429
<v Speaker 3>And that, I think, this notion of these two lives,

1:14:22.710 --> 1:14:25.190
<v Speaker 3>that's going to be what Doom wants to stop. If

1:14:25.350 --> 1:14:28.599
<v Speaker 3>Wanda is helping Doom, though, and she realizes that turning

1:14:28.640 --> 1:14:31.660
<v Speaker 3>sides would give her her kids back, she's obviously going

1:14:31.680 --> 1:14:32.740
<v Speaker 3>to be on their side.

1:14:33.340 --> 1:14:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Do we think that Vision, if Vision is in Doomsday...

1:14:39.890 --> 1:14:42.310
<v Speaker 2>What side is he going to be on? I would

1:14:42.370 --> 1:14:44.550
<v Speaker 2>expect he'd be on Wanda's side no matter what, right?

1:14:44.590 --> 1:14:46.370
<v Speaker 1>He'll be on Wanda's side.

1:14:46.550 --> 1:14:49.139
<v Speaker 2>If he can reunite with her, it doesn't matter if

1:14:49.200 --> 1:14:52.380
<v Speaker 2>what she's doing is wrong or right or whatever. I

1:14:52.520 --> 1:14:54.780
<v Speaker 2>think it would be her and him together.

1:14:55.200 --> 1:14:55.550
<v Speaker 1>Agree.

1:14:55.560 --> 1:14:58.330
<v Speaker 3>Because also, if I was Doom and I was pitching

1:14:58.390 --> 1:15:00.830
<v Speaker 3>to Wanda, I would say, look, this is the plan.

1:15:00.850 --> 1:15:02.970
<v Speaker 2>Put the family back together. Put the family back together.

1:15:02.990 --> 1:15:03.830
<v Speaker 2>Put it back together.

1:15:03.870 --> 1:15:06.510
<v Speaker 3>You motherfuckers can have a little space on the battle

1:15:06.550 --> 1:15:07.790
<v Speaker 3>world where your.

1:15:07.650 --> 1:15:08.670
<v Speaker 1>Kids can exist.

1:15:08.750 --> 1:15:09.010
<v Speaker 2>Right.

1:15:09.030 --> 1:15:11.930
<v Speaker 1>You can be royals. You can live with vision. You

1:15:11.950 --> 1:15:12.810
<v Speaker 1>can have babies.

1:15:12.890 --> 1:15:15.429
<v Speaker 3>No one's fucking telling you what's real, what's not real.

1:15:15.450 --> 1:15:19.760
<v Speaker 3>In this world, anything's real. This becomes the soul universe,

1:15:19.810 --> 1:15:22.559
<v Speaker 3>the soul canon. So I think it could be easy

1:15:22.580 --> 1:15:25.570
<v Speaker 3>to play into that. I think also, Jason, We just,

1:15:25.970 --> 1:15:28.049
<v Speaker 3>it's so hard to know how they're going to connect

1:15:28.090 --> 1:15:31.200
<v Speaker 3>this stuff. It feels so much like it should directly

1:15:31.260 --> 1:15:33.040
<v Speaker 3>lead in. But as we saw with Brand New Day,

1:15:33.380 --> 1:15:35.360
<v Speaker 3>they surprised us. They took the Hulk sting and they

1:15:35.380 --> 1:15:36.760
<v Speaker 3>put it on Endgame.

1:15:37.080 --> 1:15:38.060
<v Speaker 1>So it is unclear.

1:15:38.280 --> 1:15:40.260
<v Speaker 3>There's also a different version of this where it is

1:15:40.300 --> 1:15:43.720
<v Speaker 3>like WandaVision where it is mostly very, very contained. And

1:15:43.760 --> 1:15:46.290
<v Speaker 3>then they potentially put the teasers out of there. But

1:15:46.330 --> 1:15:50.439
<v Speaker 3>I do feel like they've got to talk about the Latverian, Sokovian,

1:15:50.560 --> 1:15:52.780
<v Speaker 3>Eastern European bloc, at least.

1:15:53.140 --> 1:15:54.540
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Ultron is.

1:15:54.460 --> 1:15:58.099
<v Speaker 3>Going to be talking to Vision about that and exposing

1:15:58.140 --> 1:16:00.740
<v Speaker 3>that history because he's going to be trying to machinate

1:16:00.920 --> 1:16:02.479
<v Speaker 3>and play him and manipulate.

1:16:03.070 --> 1:16:05.770
<v Speaker 2>Do we know if Latveria, does Latveria exist currently? No.

1:16:06.300 --> 1:16:07.620
<v Speaker 2>I think they've mentioned it, right?

1:16:07.640 --> 1:16:08.520
<v Speaker 1>A couple of times?

1:16:08.680 --> 1:16:08.980
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

1:16:09.060 --> 1:16:13.070
<v Speaker 3>In the old, like, pre-times, when they would used to

1:16:13.110 --> 1:16:16.170
<v Speaker 3>just say, like, Stephen Strange and stuff, I believe it

1:16:16.210 --> 1:16:19.070
<v Speaker 3>has been mentioned. I would say in Moon Knight was

1:16:19.130 --> 1:16:22.410
<v Speaker 3>the closest. There was the space that we all guessed

1:16:22.510 --> 1:16:24.210
<v Speaker 3>and looked a lot like Latveria.

1:16:24.250 --> 1:16:27.590
<v Speaker 1>They were playing into that a lot. I think so

1:16:27.650 --> 1:16:28.130
<v Speaker 1>far they.

1:16:28.150 --> 1:16:32.000
<v Speaker 2>And it's been... I think we've seen it, like, you know, like...

1:16:32.320 --> 1:16:34.040
<v Speaker 2>On the computers. When they have, like, these UN scenes.

1:16:34.080 --> 1:16:34.860
<v Speaker 1>That's what I was going to say, right?

1:16:34.880 --> 1:16:36.590
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, when the UN scene is, like, a little... There's

1:16:36.630 --> 1:16:39.439
<v Speaker 2>a little Let Varian ambassador kind of thing. And it's empty.

1:16:39.450 --> 1:16:40.610
<v Speaker 1>Like, no one ever sits in it.

1:16:41.080 --> 1:16:45.480
<v Speaker 3>So I'm also very interested in how much of that

1:16:45.660 --> 1:16:47.940
<v Speaker 3>they will bring in here, whether or not we will

1:16:47.960 --> 1:16:52.050
<v Speaker 3>get any payoff about Pietro. Again, if this is about family,

1:16:52.060 --> 1:16:56.090
<v Speaker 3>if Tommy is trying... I think the idea is that

1:16:56.110 --> 1:16:58.850
<v Speaker 3>Tommy will be being hunted down by someone, whether it

1:16:58.970 --> 1:17:01.490
<v Speaker 3>is the DODC, whether it is Rio Vidal.

1:17:01.550 --> 1:17:02.929
<v Speaker 1>I would love to see her come back.

1:17:03.010 --> 1:17:04.180
<v Speaker 2>Or Sword or whatever.

1:17:04.530 --> 1:17:05.440
<v Speaker 1>And I think Ultron.

1:17:05.900 --> 1:17:08.500
<v Speaker 3>And Vision will have to team up to protect him

1:17:09.000 --> 1:17:11.900
<v Speaker 3>with the idea of it being for some kind of science.

1:17:12.180 --> 1:17:14.429
<v Speaker 3>We need to understand how you could have a son.

1:17:14.530 --> 1:17:17.240
<v Speaker 3>But really, it will have an emotional element to it,

1:17:17.310 --> 1:17:20.530
<v Speaker 3>I think. Gosh, this is so exciting, Jason. We've been

1:17:20.570 --> 1:17:24.790
<v Speaker 3>waiting for these characters to truly exist. In the MCU,

1:17:24.830 --> 1:17:27.790
<v Speaker 3>really since Wanda first came, we've been wondering whether they

1:17:27.810 --> 1:17:30.230
<v Speaker 3>do the Master Pandemonium version, whether the kids would be

1:17:30.250 --> 1:17:32.170
<v Speaker 3>brought to life by her, whether they'd brought to life

1:17:32.210 --> 1:17:36.720
<v Speaker 3>by Mephisto. This was obviously where the Mephisto talks began.

1:17:36.780 --> 1:17:37.800
<v Speaker 2>It was WandaVision.

1:17:37.860 --> 1:17:41.580
<v Speaker 1>We're back. Yeah, I can't freaking wait. I also can't

1:17:41.600 --> 1:17:42.900
<v Speaker 1>believe it comes out so soon.

1:17:43.510 --> 1:17:46.630
<v Speaker 3>It's like, it's starting. And guys, the release dates are

1:17:46.650 --> 1:17:47.810
<v Speaker 3>going to be really interesting.

1:17:47.830 --> 1:17:48.630
<v Speaker 1>These could change.

1:17:48.650 --> 1:17:51.220
<v Speaker 3>They recently changed. But it's going to be a two

1:17:51.270 --> 1:17:54.080
<v Speaker 3>episode a week drop until the final two. So one

1:17:54.120 --> 1:17:56.860
<v Speaker 3>and two will be together. Three and four will be together.

1:17:57.160 --> 1:17:59.160
<v Speaker 3>Five and six will be together. And seven and eight

1:17:59.200 --> 1:18:02.220
<v Speaker 3>will be separate. So it's going to be five weeks, basically,

1:18:02.280 --> 1:18:05.650
<v Speaker 3>all together of deep Vision Quest content from us.

1:18:06.220 --> 1:18:08.560

1:18:08.580 --> 1:18:12.700
<v Speaker 2>our impending Doomsday series with Loki seasons one and two.

1:18:13.600 --> 1:18:17.280
<v Speaker 2>And then we begin our coverage with the first two

1:18:17.400 --> 1:18:18.940
