You're right. When I think about it, the episode was calm just before the storm to count the chickens (i.e. Wanda's traumas), and it was needed. To breathe before the big fight.
Just like Vision's body was disassembled this ep, in the same vein Agatha disassembled Wanda's life, and I think in the process Wanda remembered who she was and who she saw she will be in that yellow stone thingy. So Agatha unknowingly also assembled her in the end.
And can we confirm that this episode with it's revelation is the first MCU retcon? It's so comicbooky easter eggy I love it.
Context is king.
X-23's most basic surface level characteristic that any idiot should grasp: Stoicism.
I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!
Yeah, I used to think she might be a villain but at this point I’ve come to suspect that she, like Agatha, moved in when this huge burst of magic happened. That’s why she’s “heard things” about Wanda and Vision.
Watch me be wrong about both.
None of this really explains the “for the children” chant though.
But why was it given to them? If the plan was to disassemble his body, then Stark should have done it personally, or Banner; they accidently created Ultron, so they should be more prudent and responsible than allowing some unknown people get their hands on Vision's body. Captain America, Banner, Widow, Thor - they were all there in Wakanda, when Vision died. They should have brought his body back with them then they returned to USA, no matter how shocked by the snap's consequences they were. It is just a basic responsibility to don't leave body of your comrade on the battlefield.
Maybe they didn't think of him highly as a comrade to bring him back to the states.
Or maybe they brought him back to the States and SWORD had a nicely prepared fairytale how they will try to bring him back, basically lied to Avengers just to get the Vis so they can run experiments on him.
Anything is possible.
Stark pulled out of everything though. Banner, all of them except Cap and Nat moved on. Shield or Sword followed their own protocols. Maybe Avengers lost 'official' roles in post snap; systems collapsed, except the super secret agent stuff.

Comic-book reading Witch and Pagan since 1970
I came for Kate, I stayed for Bette Love Fantastic Four, Namor, Batwoman, Dr.Strange.... i love them all
I really want Dottie to be more important like another Witch that sensed Wanda's Chaos Magic and came to see what's up, but since there's just one episode left i doubt it
Why Agatha said she's important or something in the episode 2 then Dottie says: i've heard things about you and your husband
Now in the episode 7 when Wanda arrives to Westview, Dottie ins't seen like all the other citizens, her husband did
Also Dottie is missing from the SWORD Board but More irrelevant characters like her husband and the other girl that has like one line is there

Maybe that was just Wanda's biological clock wanting to have kids or something? (I originally thought it was some kind of "Rosemary's Baby" situation where Mephisto needed a vessel for Earth but that seems to be more and more unlikely.)
Maybe the Avengers did take the body back, but someone like General Ross pulled rank and had it confiscated?
"The White Queen welcomes you, TO DIE!"
Right. If Dottie was dude’s wife, why is she not up on the board? Her conversation with Wanda was very meta (not believing that Wanda’s not looking to cause any harm). And she bled red, like the drone was red. However, she seemed afraid when the voice in the radio startled them into reality, which makes her feel like a victim more than an observer.
Oh I'm in agreement; if we're gonna have a Quicksilver I'd rather it be ATJ's version. But I don't think he's coming back and I can see a world where Marvel uses the Fox version instead in an attempt to have their "dead is dead" cake and eat it too.
If the multiverse is going to be a major focus for the MCU going forward, it'd make sense for them to have a character from another earth to kinda personify the idea. There's other options out there like America Chavez and Hyperion, but I can see Marvel using Fietro too. I'm not sure they *will* or anything, I'm just saying I could see it happening.
Deadpool, I expect to just do what the DP films have been doing; playing fast and loose with everything, making plenty of jokes about the X rights returning to Marvel, but mainly just existing in its own box with few direct ties to other movies. Deadpool isn't a character I expect to see cameo in a lot of Avengers films, yknow?

I'm not sure it'd make sense for Dottie to be Clea, since she hasn't even met Strange yet. Why would she be drawn to Wanda? And the casting call to find someone for that role was still up when this show started (not sure if it still is).
