Fuck is Luna even alive I thought the Inhumans were dead? Either way Pietro is truly fucked I wish ATJ had returned to play the role that would have been better than the Meta joke of casting Evan Peter as Ralph Boner, and could have sparked something for Pietro cause right now he's just a trash father, with daddy issues over a man who's no longer his daddy, with a sister who barely acknowledges his existence, now if anyone needs to be a mutant it's him! He doesn't even get the Pretender Clout Wanda gets he's fucked!!!

Yeah, those are all pretty quality shows. I don't think it's fair to compare MCU and DCEU stuff with Twin Peaks, the Sopranos, the Wire and Mad Men. Or even Law & Order and Star Trek. I enjoyed the Simpsons from the 90s and the sitcoms of that era. I think the MCU makes very interesting products, but I do enjoy my TCM and PBS as well. I can't live without those two that's for sure!
When you hurt other people the right thing to do is try to help make it right, regardless of if it was "an accident" or not. Even if it's hard. Even if they might not forgive you at the end. You don't do it for forgiveness, you do it because it's your responsibility. And Wanda didn't even come close to doing that. And I think that's disappointing. But I never thought she should have been put in that position in the first place.
Here's a quote that I largely agree with about WandaVision:
"My ultimate frustration with this whole thing is that the conflict with Agatha amounted to some exposition about "the Scarlet Witch" and "my red lasers are better than your purple lasers." That's it. Episode 8 with her dragging Wanda through her memories was cool, I wanted to see that taken further. These dreams collapsing in on themselves, Wanda's fantasies turned to nightmares. A fully realized externalization of Wanda's internal conflict. And we kinda get it with the scene in the town square, and the citizens begging for their lives, surrounding her. But i wanted more of that. I wanted Wanda vs. Agatha to be closer to Vision's conversation with himself than just a big flashy throwdown (that ultimately wasn't all that interesting to look at). Like I really don't give a shit about the theories around Mephisto or Doctor Strange or whatever. But this was their shot to do something more thematically resonant than they do with the movies, was really teed up to be something more personal, and it really didn't capitalize on it. It had moments that worked, but only moments."
There was a lot of good stuff in the finale to be sure, but I think some non-MCU fans who got invested in the show would have been disappointed with its resolution. If they had just stuck to the personal stuff, I believe WandaVision could have been the most unique and original superhero project ever. And they were SO close to achieving that too.
There's a lot of people that are complaining that it was too Wanda centric for the first MCU show ever. They wanted this show to be a segue to Doctor Strange 2, but all they got was a story about Wanda. I think this will set the tone and expectations for the next series. If we're honest, white Vision and Monica Rambeau, which was the best character after Wanda, were shoved into the show as far as story telling goes, but it works when you remember "it all has to be connected." It's a Hollywood product, not an indie comic. They did good given the circumstances.
