1st 2 episodes are up on Disney+. Glad the MCU is getting weird.

It seems like a sitcom made by David Lynch as it's sometimes very surreal, but has a dark sinister undertone to it the entire time.

Very excited to see this week to week.

Curious as to how this effects the MCU as this, LOKI, SPIDER-MAN 3, and DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS are supposedly gonna shake things up drastically. Also interested on how they act as one big story as well as separate pieces of storytelling.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

i thought the 50s sitcom thing was going to be like a 5 minute scene. i havent really read up on it or watched a lot of coverage so dont know what has been said about it up til now.

im confused but its an okay watch. i keep waiting for a big reveal that puts everything into context but after 2 episodes im guessing thats going to be the final episode if that.

wonder how many people are sticking with it after the first 10 minutes or first episode.

no one seems to have a problem with the show

but so many people seem to think that some other unknown unnamed person will have trouble relating to it or sticking with it.


idk

With it
I don’t think it’s in my lane at all now.
I don’t know the characters, don’t understand the plot, the 50’s setting is a huge turnoff for me as well....

its not for me.. lol.

but I could tell by the promo’s it wasn’t going to be something I was interested in.

And there’s press photos out there of Kathryn Hahn dressed up like she’s on Saved by the Bell and Olsen dressed like she’s in the early 2000s.

They also changed up the joke style a bit between the two episodes. I think it’s really cool if you’re familiar with sitcom history - like how episode one was literally a silly situation, but the second was full of stereotypes and was less broad.

Comedy from the 50s was mostly pretty weird by modern standards so it makes sense it wouldn’t land with everybody but they really nailed it.

im interested enough to keep watching. i think i just have to forget about how it all connects to the MCU and why this is even happening. just see where it goes.

i like the cast so far, i just feel like i dont have the context to understand why it exists.

i did not like the first two episodes at all. I love Kethryn Hahn too. But this was too out there for me. But I will stick with it if this is the route. I probably still wont like it. But it will make it interesting at least.

if you are heavy into Marvel it probably had a few hints on where its going.

I’m just not into Marvel like I used to be.. give me fight scenes and death, last thing I need is a sitcom setting for 2 or 3 shows.

They should have brought back Power Man & Iron Fist instead.. Or Punisher, or literally anyone.. I'm just going to skim through the next episode, and if all i see is sitcom, i think that's it for me..

Vision & Scarlet Witch have never been characters who rely on a lot of action & fight scenes.

As someone who loves Vision, I read the 2015 comic by Tom King. It's VERY different from other Marvel comics. I loved it, but I understand why those who need a lot of action wouldn't. You have to understand and appreciate the fact that Vision is a very cerebral character (the MOST cerebral character possible, considering he's an android). He has the journey of learning to be human, and that's a major part of the draw for fans of his who often find that very endearing and engaging.

There are more elements of this show that are exciting, such as the creativity of writing these characters into different sitcom eras. I find myself imagining how fun that must have been to create.

been delivered so far.
They probably shoulda just dropped the whole season at once so folks could take it all in....
That's probably another aspect that should be considered....we've all gotten used to have access to a full season in one drop so that it can be binged.... It seems like this would have been a better approach for this show. Not a lot of patience for a hyped up series that doesn't deliver on the hype in the first two episodes.... ANGTFT!

I can kind of agree with this part. Yet also, they're dealing with a new app and trying to increase subscriber count, AND the weekly format fits in with the theme of these first 2 eps. Other than that, it just may have been smart, since the hardcores will watch anyway, and they'll be there when it picks up to let everyone else know to keep watching. The show will be there to binge when it's over, AND they get their subscriber count up for Disney+. Win/win I guess. I must admit that I just wish I could binge everything now tho.

I love watching different eras/genre's tranposed upon one another tho... things you don't normally see in a particular space. Wanda and Vision one some I Love Lucy shit is very entertaining to me. Can't wait to see more and find out what the rewind was about at the end of ep.2. Very fun watch.

not sure if I'll finish but may, I love the MCU for the most part. I gave up on all the Marvel Netflix shows after Daredevil since there was no tie-in and just got tedious to watch. I did manage to get thru Agents of Shield which had some very good arcs and some that were hard to make it thru.

I am glad Wanda decided to just lose the terrible accent from Agents of Ultron tho. lol

Man, props to you for making it thru Agents of Shield. I love Marvel shows, but the two that were on popular network televsion (Agents of Shield and Agent Carter) just felt so watered down compared to those on streaming services or lesser know stations. Those are the only two Marvel shows I never made it through. Maybe I will one day. As for Daredevil, I thought that was A+.

i think you had to wait until like season 3 tho lol i never finished it. i watched the season when they were in space then kind of forgot about it. i think there was one or two seasons after that.

I finished AOS a few weeks ago because I curious how they finally wrapped things up. There were some cool moments but you could tell that they were in a weird grey area between staying in MCU canon and telling interesting stories.

I wonder if having all the episodes available to binge would have been better for this type of show. I get the first few were mainly setup, and they may or may not work for some depending on their age or how much old or vintage TV they have seen. And I get that people's patience is a lot different now than in the past, so a slow burn and reveal set in past TV tropes may be a hard ask for some. But I think when we get through the entire series it will be something to look back on and really get it.

Annoyed by it but it’s only 30 minutes that I half way pay attention to until the last ten minutes. I refuse to do any background research or unpacking the Easter eggs type analysis with this show. It better pay off in the end, even for the uninitiated. If not, it truly is a bad show.

Thats a good thing, not a negative

I love the first three eps.

Am the sitcom elements weren't exactly a secret to anyone checking in on the progress of the show. This was 100% expected.

This shit is brimming with Easter eggs and hints, and a good aftershow podcast/YouTube video makes it particularly rewarding. I'm partial to Emergency Awesome on YT for in depth breakdowns of each ep.

From what media I've seen on it, we can expect at least 2-3 more episodes following these sitcom tropes before the show breaks from it completely, and the episodes will become increasingly more intense and closer to what most would expect in terms of style and tone from the MCU.

IMO this is an excellent opener for the TV extension of these MCU characters. I love the slow burn, and I love trying to make sense of the who/what/when/where/why of it all. That's the whole point of a mystery, and big up to Marvel for taking a creatively unconventional approach.

I checked out the first one and will watch the others.
I love the show so much that I didn't even need a breakdown, but this stuff is interesting to know. It makes it even more enjoyable.

He's my go-to for pretty much anything sci-fi/fantasy related.

All his aftershow material is great, and he does pretty insightful trailer breakdowns too.

And I'm with you on this, I was good without the added commentary and have been happy to be along for the ride, but getting all these added Easter eggs has added a lot of depth and insight into the world of Wanda Maximoff.

cuz I was just missing some things unaware. I just wish Disney+ gave us all episodes at once with their shows, but I get why they're doing it this way. Just like with Mandalorian, I can't wait for Friday evening to sit and watch with the family.

Though I'm so conditioned to to binging that I'm still dying to get to the end. I think there's a certain amount of value added through that anticipation though.

Two weeks straight now, beetween 6 and 8 PM on Friday, me and my boy have had a discussion about the ep, and that will continue.

He's a die hard comic head from childhood, whereas I'm more of a wiki/YouTube/cliff's notes type, and dude was fucking livid after ep 1.

He waited a few days to catch the second because he was so mad about "this Dick Van Dyke shit"😂.

We chop it up damn near daily about all kinds of shit, but this is now a convonwe can set our watch to.

Same goes.for OKP.

I get that we're conditioned for binge viewing, but I think the social element, at least for me, is far better served this way, even if we want it all, and want it now (c)

Just my two cents.

Everyone's on the same page and everyone can take it in one at a time.

Also, it's nice to have something to look forward to once Friday night hits since bars and movie theaters are still hot spots.

This actually trips me out, because I'm familiar, which means I know that there are dozwn creative, interesting directions this can go.

But if you also know about her story, I'm puzzled as to why this isn't working so far for you. This feels like some shit that just makes sense as an SW story- and they're alr3ady pulling a lot from the comics.

But my boy is all in on comics in general, and actually has a deep collection, and his reaction is similar to yours, though he's all in after ep3

i think a mix of looking at some of these nerdy videos explaining the connections and meanings to everything along with the latest episode helped. it seems the plot is moving forward now too. i think for me the first three episodes could have been combined into one 40 minute one and i would have been in from the jump.

i feel like looking at the videos kind of spoiled some things but still left enough unknown to make me want to see what happens.

supposedly episode 4 is where things start getting explained.

Def. have to stick with it all the way through the 2nd episode.

I want to say I will give it a shot but I cant lie.. I prolly won’t unless someone dies in glorious fashion

I’ve kinda soured on the MCU. Just lack the patience to keep up with all of it

I’ve tried to watch Winter Soldier.. fell asleep, woke up and saw the final fight

Captain Marvel... nope, fell asleep

Thor Ragnorock... nah, fell asleep

only reason I got into infinity war is because people said characters were actually dying.

It was too late in the evening for me to get into a movie or even a 1hr. episode of Handmaids Tale (which is a heavy binge watch...so needed a break). I had about 45min to spare...just enough time to finish Ep.2 & watch Ep.3. I figured if I wasn't intrigued enough by the end of Ep.2 then I wouldn't bother....

Ep.2 got wild enough to make me half way invested....Episode 3 will probably reel you in.

IMO, Winter Soldier is right there with Black Panther. Those 2 are far and away the best MCU movies.

If you like the shoot-em-up, car chase, all-out action flick, then you should give it a try.

the elevator scene is one of my favorite action scenes, period.
