Cataracts affect one's vision, do they not? Spoiler I threw another name into my edited post, Riri Williams but she's not a big hitter like Mr. Fantastic, Professor X and Magneto are. Yes, cataracts do affect vision. Good eyes spotting the name as I didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonidas Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Spoiler The Malcolm in the Middle intro was perfectly done. Wish they got TMBG to do the music! Also the advert was clever, the kid died trying to 'break the seal.' 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Ep6 Discussion Spoiler I agree that it was a step down but still good overall. It definitely raises more questions, or at least continues to focus on known questions: -Who is Pietro? Seems like he’s her Pietro with another body and largely aware of what’s going on. Is he being brainwashed to be her Pietro or not? -Who is Agnes? She still seems like just another Westview citizen, but SWORD wasn’t able to ID her before. It’s been suspected that she’s behind Wanda doing this, but here she names Wanda as the one doing it. Interestingly, she thinks she’s dead here, and she previously asked Wanda if she could really bring people back from the dead. -What’s Hayward hiding? Does he know more about the hex than has been revealed? What is “Cataract”? My guess is that it was/is SWORD’s plan to restore Vision. Despite this feeling like a step down, it feels a little like the calm before the storm. Definitely interested in seeing the aftermath of Wanda’s escalation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m definitely in the “someone is using Wanda to create the hex for their own purposes while keeping her happy” camp. Unless things ramp up in the next episode, I’m starting to worry that the big reveal will be more of a cliffhanger for Dr. Strange 2.

Matt D Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Spoiler Didn't really feel like a step down for me. I got a kick out of Woo using the baseball cap. I'm feeling either Reed or Brashear for the friend. Wife who knows no context but the MCU text itself was thinking Pym or Hope. Kat Dennings should be pretty fun as a sitcom character next week. I thought Bettany did a great job channeling Cranston. I like how Pietro was just blatantly asking questions everyone else was asking. I also like how no one questioned the Wiccan costume. 70% of the people watching at home had to be wondering what the hell it was supposed to be. There should have been a throwaway line to explain it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Spoiler Brashear feels more likely. It’s weird I don’t think they introduce Reed this way, even though I’m all in on mutants or Magneto being brought in with this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Spoiler Strange isn’t an aerospace engineer, though. My attempts to Google other possible candidates resulted in a lot of articles about Neil DeGrasse Tyson, which were useless. I did find one crazy stretch of a theory that purported to point to a Ben Grimm Easter egg. You see, there was a fake producer listed in the fake sitcom credits named Babs Digsby, and Babs and Digsby were the names of two characters in the 1940s tv show that popularized the phrase “What a revolting development...” I’m taking a break now.

odessasteps Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I mean, there are no shortage of "scientists" from which to pick and that's just babyfaces. From Reed, Tony, Hank down to guys who made one appearance in the Silver Age. Heck, it could be Shuri, for all we know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighting a man with a perm Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 @Matt D you mentioned Bettany channelling someone specific to this episode. More generally than just this episode, I get little flashes of Rik Mayall on his comedy performances, but that could be accent related. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Episode 6 Spoiler Generally speaking, I thought it was good though its something of a comedown after the last couple of episodes felt so big with their reveals and surprises. The way they are playing Pietro is interesting as he clearly has the memories of the MCU version while displaying the personality of the Fox version. The way he messed around in this episode makes me wonder if whoever is actually in control is speaking through him to fuck with Wanda. With what's coming I doubt they would just use the Fox actor just to mess around so the change in Pietro has be related to the multiverse/alternate realties. Knew Hayward was shady as fuck. I'm guessing the Vision we are seeing is maybe one SWORD tried to create and why Wanda actually stole his body. Its clear its not the original whatever the case. With how Agnes acted, I'm kind of wondering if she is really Agatha Harkness at this point. I know it was the big theory going in, but she was scared way too shitless and didn't know enough about the situation when Vision was questioning her. 19 hours ago, Casey said: I suspect Monica's friend with a way in is maybe Hide contents Adam Brashear aka Blue Marvel This was actually my first though last week. Not sure he is known well enough for them to use, but he makes the most sense when you think about Monica's comic connections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogwelder Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 As much as I like the nod to the classic costumes, I was a bit disappointed that they didn't try to squeeze in Pietro's far superior outfit from The Crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to do a comedy performance, Rik Mayall is an influence to go with. The New Statesman was my favourite of his as Alan B'Stard.
