I didn't jump right in with WandaVision when it was originally released because nothing about it seemed particularly intriguing, to me. Wanda is one of my least favorite Marvel characters and one that I think the MCU messed up. But WandaVision is an interesting show and has some good moments. From a film student's perspective it is novel and experimentational. I appreciate the different decades of television and how everything from Wanda's psyche is played out within those genres/themes. But...I just don't like Wanda. I can't sympathize with her, even though I know her background and often feel like I should, I dislike her mannerisms and voice, and her back storyline is filled with problems and feels convoluted. Vision is far more enjoyable to watch. I wish I liked this more, but I just didn't.
