I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, that is just a whole lot of stuff for me to be excited about!

Thanks for destroying the entire Grand Canyon, Falcon!
Actually of all those, the Ms. Marvel was the most intriguing.

Since it looks like they're taking inspiration from the Fraction run, I'm curious how they're going to reconcile MCU!Hawkeye with Hawkguy.
I'd be okay with the retcon-and-never-speak-of-this-again approach to his Ozzie & Harriet fantasy suburban family and the stint as a murder hobo their loss sent him on. Up to and including recasting the role with an actor who has likeability and charm in his repertoire, like Jake McDorman.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
the stint as a murder hobo
Oh, but I LOVE Ronin!Hawkeye.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I liked WandaVision so much more than I was expecting - they are two of my least favorite characters in the franchise (SO BORING OMG) but this show is finally giving the actors something fun to do, and they don't seem to be dragging the mystery out too long.

I think the set decorators did a great job of recreating what really felt like the periods. Plus a bit of Pleasantville thrown in. The first episode was primarily The Dick Van Dyke show. The second episode was mostly Bewitched with a sprinkling of I Dream of Jeannie. The change from black and white to color worked well as a reference to Bewitched switching to color. (Plus Pleasantville.) There was commentary on some forum or another by some guy who gave the show SEVEN minutes before he quit watching. I think some people aren’t getting that is supposed to be disjointed at first. It seems to be reflecting Wanda's state of mind. I agree with some who suggest that now the Endgame crisis is over, Wanda is dealing with the loss of Vision. Considering what happened in the comics, whoever is monitoring her is playing with fire.

I said the same thing to TCG when we were watching it. It was the perfect transition.

I actually think there might be something more going on. I think maybe it is connected to the Spiderman: Far From Home post credit scene with Nick Fury. The voice trying to contact her wants to know who is doing this to her at one point.

I have no use for Vision, and I'm indifferent to Wanda, but I'm curious enough to keep watching.** (I also loathe the cringey-ness of the 50s-60s sitcoms, and yes, I do understand that they're a deliberate stylistic choice. I just can't get past the cringey-ness. If they're working through decades of TV shows, I am *desperately* hoping they do the X-Files.)
But who is beekeeper guy ???
**(I know that sounds like me saying "The food is so bad here! And such small portions!" Honestly, I just MISS seeing MCU movies, so I'm going to watch new MCU content even if it isn't characters I love.)
