IMO, seems pretty intentional. She specifically created it to mimic the older happier sitcoms that she enjoyed as a child.redline248 said:
Turns out the mailman was just a pizza guy or something. By the way, interesting comment from Fietro about everyone getting better jobs. Westview looked like a dump before Wanda showed up.
As to selfish reasons... I agree keeping it going all along was selfish, but I think creating it all in the first place was an accident.
it could go either way, as she left the studio basement out an industrial door vs the house door.amercer said:
Why does anyone think Wanda is out of the basement?
The scene at the end on the "street" had no other westview residents around.
Average Joe said:I agree with all of the above. My comment was more along the lines of that I don't think Agatha is responsible for the map. I think she only became interested in Wanda once she felt the power of the hex.C@LAg said:So...Average Joe said:I thought Agatha said she came to the town because of Wanda's power. She felt it and wanted to see what was creating that much magic.texasaggie04 said:
Regarding the envelope, I think it's possible that they had already picked out that plot of land together. Maybe Wanda was drawn to it due to the magic but just didn't know why.
Or Agatha just planted that to get her to go to the town. Both are possible.
1. Wanda IS a bad guy as far as enslaving the town of West View is concerned. She created the hex and enslaved West View for purely selfish purposes.
2. Agatha took advantage of this for her own purposes - likely to take Wanda's powers
a. because she is evil and wants power
b. because there is another Big Bad
1. that she is serving
or
2. and she needs enough power to defeat/escape from
3. Hayward is
a. a cliche overly ambitious human general willing to do anything to "get his weapon"
b. a good guy general wanting a weapon as he knows about Skrulls and the Secret Invasion
c. a Skrull wanting a weapon for the Secret Invasion
To me, this entire episode basically told us that there is no big baddie in the background pulling strings. I think we are very much looking at an opportunistic Agatha and a poor man's General Ross.
For a limit run of episodes, I'm ok with this. We didn't get much closure on Wanda/Vision after IW. If this ends with us not having a Thanos/Galactus/dormammu pulling strings in the background then I would not be disappointed. There is plenty of conflict to deal with already in this series.
I also want to add that this series has done an absolutely amazing job with character growth and pacing. It didn't seem like it after the first couple of episodes, but makes a ton of sense now.

C@LAg said:mailman was just a regular person in the "before" clip when Wanda drove into town, wasn't he?texasaggie04 said:
And I still don't know what's up with Dottie or the mailman!
Dottie is still an unknown.
C@LAg said:
Theory:
Dottie is Woo's informant. Woo used "guy" as a misdirect.
That is why there is no detail of a person like that from Westview as she is in witness protection.
I am just basing that on Emma Cauffield had claimed at one point she was supposed to be in 4 episodes. But has only been in 2 (?) to date?
oh and she has claimed that when she was cast, this particular role had to have Fiege's approval.

100%. Made a similar prediction last night.

but i could also see Fision (fake HexVision) that has Visions personality being destroyed and Wision (White Vision, but real Vision's body) carrying over and eventually having his memories restored.
the point is the DVDs existed before the show even aired. so nothing to pirate at that point.amercer said:
My roommate at A&M used to come back from Asia with some crazy pirated DVDs in the late 90s so you never know.
we will see. He is easily a character that can be evergreen, even as Paul Bettany ages.amercer said:
Fision was clearly created with some mind stone power from Wanda, so it's possible they merge into real vision, but since we don't expect him moving forward in the MCU that seems unlikely.

at this point those are likely story seeds for Sm3 and DS2.amercer said:
So if there is a full magic throw down in the last episode I suppose that gets Dr Strange attention.
Not much moved this week on the idea of a the nexus or the multiverse.

Doesn't seem like those runtime predictions were right, unless next week's is 90 minutes. (Or maybe there is a secret episode)
She was in the Avengers facility when watching that in the 2010sC@LAg said:
Someone pointed out that Wanda's dad had Malcolm in the Middle DVDs .
Malcolm in the Middle did not air until Spring 2000. No way DVDs for that show were out until at least 2001 if not later.
Wanda was 10 when her parents died (born early 1989) They would have died in 1999. So he had DVDs before the show even aired.
When her dad, back in 1999 brought home the suitcase with DVDs in it, it had Malcom in the Middle in it.Saxsoon said:She was in the Avengers facility when watching that in the 2010sC@LAg said:
