What secret did you discover in the first two episodes? Warning: There are spoilers ahead.
Wanda and Vision are fascinated by Disney Plus.
She is a magical girl in a small town, he is a cyborg, and they share love you have never seen before. This is an easy introduction to WandaVision on Disney Plus, but what Easter eggs and Marvel reference materials can be found in the first two episodes of the new series?
WandaVision episodes 1 and 2 are now playing, and there are nine new parts of the Disney Plus show every Friday, starting with episode 3 on January 22. The suspense about how Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and her robot boyfriend Vision (Paul Bettany) reached this surreal suburban sitcom...
Entertain your brain with the coolest news, from streaming to superheroes, from memes to video games.
These are the Easter eggs we have found so far, and we will add more when we see them. But be warned: spoilers for the following two episodes!
On a picturesque suburban street, Wanda and Vision live at number 2800. In the 2015 critically acclaimed comic series by Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta, Vision lives on a suburban street, but although the highly recommended comics are very different, it’s interesting that Viz lives at number 616. This is a reference to Earth-616, which is the reality version of most Marvel comic stories.
Other parallel dimensions—such as the different worlds seen in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse—have their own numbers. Therefore, the meaning of 2800 is not yet clear, but it is reported that WandaVision is related to the Doctor Strange in the upcoming movie "Crazy Multiverse", and it may have a certain multiple meaning.
WandaVision's imitations of 50s and 60s sitcoms (such as Bewitched and I Love Lucy) include laughter tracks, stylized scenes, and funny scenes. It also extends to fake advertisements in the middle of each period. Episode 1 tried to sell us a novel toaster from Stark Industries-an Easter egg softball, because most viewers would see Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) and his father Howard Stark before him. The operating company.
However, the seemingly innocuous Toast Mate 2000 made a creepy change when it made an ominous beep before the bread popped—a bit like a bomb. We learned from Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015 that Wanda's parents were killed by an explosive device, leaving her and her twin brother Peter trapped under the rubble. For two days, the Maksimovs stared at an unexploded Stark Industries shell, hoping it would detonate before they were rescued. Therefore, Beep Stark technology is unlikely to get along well with Wanda.
However, the commercials took a darker turn in episode 2. The second advertisement advertises a watch called Strucker and Hydra. Of course, Hydra is a sinister terrorist organization that threatens the world of Marvel, and Baron Wolfgang von Struck is an evil scientist. He developed Wanda’s power in the Ultron era and made her fight the Avengers. .
The ad’s slogan "He will make time for you" implies that even though Struck died at the hands of Ultron, he will continue to play the role if he appears on the TV screen again, like a Hydra scientist Arnim Zola is the same as Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
If these are references to Wanda’s origins, then these ads may represent Wanda’s memories, even though the toaster ad warns: “Forget your past, this is your future.” In this case, it might mean The same woman and man appeared in two advertisements. Will they be Wanda's parents?
Speaking of advertising, please pay attention to the supermarket logo in the opening remarks of the second episode of the animation. This shop advertises Bova Milk, which is a reference (comic!) to the super-evolved cow who was a midwife when Wanda was born. Another sign mentions Aunt A’s kitten cat, which must be a reference to another member of the manga’s supporting role, the ancient witch Agatha Harkness, who is an ebony acquaintance like her cat. This might make you wonder about Kathryn Hahn's wonderful neighbor, who happens to be called Agnes...
By singing the catchy 1958 rock song Yakety Yak, Vision played the roles of parents and children, giving and receiving orders in a closed or imprisoned suburban world. ("Don't talk back.") Interestingly, this view of suburban teenage life is structured in its own way: Yakety Yak was created, produced, and adapted by Jewish songwriters Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller for the black performer The Coasters, as Imitate the white middle-class society.
This is a range, but there is another possible meaning. In the 1988 comedy "Twins", Arnold Schwarzenegger played and sang the song as a naive outsider who arrived in the United States. Wanda has a twin, and her brother Pietro (aka Quicksilver) was shot dead by the creator of Vision in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" in the MCU. She also magically gave birth to twins in the 1980s comics.
Guess who will eat...
And the meaning of the old McDonald's? With his moo and hiss, Vision once again played the role of being blocked against his will. Or it's just fun.
In the second episode, the song we heard at the critical moment was the hit song Help Me, Rhonda by the Beach Boys in 1965. With changes in hairstyles and clothing, this is one of the subtle signs of the show's development from the first episode of the 1950s to the second episode of the 60s imitation. Of course, Rhonda can easily be mistaken for Wanda. But why would someone ask, "Who did this to you, Wanda?"
Oh, does the phrase "let her leave my heart" have something to do with the appearance of Harts in episode 1?
The chewing gum brand of Vision's work is Big Red, which is also the working name of the show when it was filmed in Atlanta in 2019. Whether it's just a stupid code name or something more important, you can chew.
Speaking of the magic show disturbed by Vision gum, the couple adopted the name "Charm and Illusion". In the comics, Vision and Scarlet Witch are friends of a married magician named Charm and Illusion, and they secretly use superpowers to realize their tricks.
When Wanda magically saved dinner, she poured a drop of Maison du Mépris. This means a house of contempt or contempt, but more importantly, it goes back to the key M comic storyline, in which the traumatized Wanda reshapes the entire reality into a new world ruled by her family.
In the blink of an eye, you might miss the moment Vision crosses the floor in the opening subtitles of episode 2. There are a few bones and a black shape in the pipes and spider webs, which look a lot like the helmet worn by the Marvel villain Grim Reaper. In the comics, he is the brother of Wonder Man, and his brain waves are used in the creation of Vision. In Vision's 2015 series of living in the suburbs, Grim Reaper appeared in his home and had a tricky ending.
The four-pronged shape in the middle may be a reference to the comic book villain.
At the climax of Episode 2, Wanda and Vision were startled by the manhole cover sliding back and a shadowy beekeeper crawling out. Comics fans may see similarities to the helmet uniforms worn by subordinates of the evil Advanced Thought Mechanic (AIM), a conspiracy of rogue scientists and a branch of Hydra. On the screen, AIM is the main threat in Iron Man 3. Or maybe it's not so literal—the beekeeper may be another reference that is enclosed and observed in a structured space.
No matter what happened to Wanda and Vision, the observer used a sign to depict a sword in a circle. There is an organization called SWORD in the comics, which supplements SHIELD's earth activities by dealing with alien threats. Given the presence of Geraldine, which is reportedly an adult version of the young Monica Rambeau, encountering aliens in Captain Marvel, WandaVision may turn to aliens. Or as Vision said, "My wife and her flying saucer!"
However, it is still unclear why the helicopter shot down in episode 2 was painted in Iron Man's iconic red and yellow.
At the end of episode 2, Wanda is suddenly obviously pregnant. This echoes the storyline in the 80s comic "Vision and the Scarlet Witch," in which she magically gave birth to twins. Sadly, the children were found to be fragments of the demon Mephisto (comic!). Wanda was upset by the loss of his child, and later reshaped reality in the 2005 House of M comic storyline.
So far, MCU has not seen many supernatural things. Thor is an alien rather than a god, and Wanda is a mutant with superpowers, not strictly a witch. But Mephisto may be involved in the weird things surrounding Wanda and Viz. The neighbor Queen Bee Dotty is Emma Caulfield, who previously played the demon in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. What about Agnes and her invisible husband? The devil is in the details, but that's not the only place for him...
