WandaVision finally received the Honest Trailer treatment, poking fun at not just the show's journey but its fans who looked too hard for Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 4 clues.
Describing WandaVision as "A TV show about some TV shows about some TV shows that is a TV show watched by the characters inside a TV show," the ScreenJunkies video began. The trailer then addresses how vague Wanda and Vision's romance felt previously in the MCU.
However, the trailer complimented the couple's love, deeming it "the closest thing Marvel has to a healthy relationship, even though [Wanda's] torturing a small town with her mind."
Then, the trailer calls out the formulaic structure of WandaVision episodes, in which Wanda and Vision "cosplay through some of history's most delightful sitcoms" while Vision, despite being an advanced synthezoid, only occasionally realizes something is amiss.
Also, the trailer pointed out the show's use of sitcom archetypes like Monica Rambeau playing the "black best friend trope." The satirical trailer also acknowledged how WandaVision's season finale ended in a CGI battle against a sky beam -- similar to prior MCU films. However, the trailer saves its biggest taunt for Marvel fans and comic websites like CBR who predicted theories about WandaVision that never came to pass, like the non-inclusion of Mephisto or Evan Peters' casting as Pietro being a link to Fox's X-Men universe.
While numerous supernatural WandaVision fan theories were incorrect, the show received immense critical success as the first Marvel Studios series to debut on Disney+.
Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be the next Marvel series debuting on Disney+. The series director recently confirmed that the show is set six months after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Similar to WandaVision, its series will release episodes on a weekly basis. Loki, Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel will follow the Sam Wilson/Bucky Barnes-centered series.
Written by Jac Schaeffer and directed by Matt Shakman, WandaVision stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as Vision, Randall Park as Agent Jimmy Woo, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau and Kathryn Hahn as Agnes. The series is available to stream on Disney+.
