I thought I had at last escaped the trammels of the MCU, but then multiple friends and also various news magazines informed me that I just HAD to watch WandaVision, and even though I did not care about (1) Wanda, (2) Vision, or (3) Wanda/Vision as a ship (two dull tastes that are somehow even more dull together?) eventually I cracked and did watched it.

I now care about Wanda, Vision, AND Wanda/Vision. Rarely have I felt so bitter about being forced to have feelings about a character. Apparently when they actually get character development and are allowed to interact with each other, they are... actually interesting? And funny? WHO KNEW. A MYSTERY.

As much as I'm enjoying the show, it's actually only strengthening my beef with the MCU as a whole, because it shows how shoddy the character work has become in the movies. This is character groundwork that they should have laid back in Age of Ultron, when they first introduced Wanda and Vision, instead of six years later in a supplementary TV show that many people will never see.

ExpandI'm adding a spoiler cut because there are some spoilers about WandaVision but this is mostly a rant about the MCU )
