I give you wanda and vision marvel studios first original series arrives on disney plus
we just don't know what to expect in five days something's wrong here wanda
the universe the avengers is expanding
we have everything under control
Welcome back everyone this is going to be my new Wandavision video they gave away the first
three episodes to people to check out and do early reviews for so we'll do a breakdown of
that and explain what kevin feige said about the series during all of his interviews he had
some funny things to say about marvel phase 4 marvel phase 5 the x-men the mutants of it all
there was a lot that he said in a lot that he did not say or said that he could not talk about
because of big spoilers he didn't want to pull a full tom hollander mark ruffalo
but i'll be doing videos for all the episodes so be sure to subscribe to get everything this
is going to be the year where marvel almost has a brand new show or a brand new episode
every single week all year long it's going to be crazy 2021 already so much better than 2020 we'll
also do a giveaway for disney plus memberships all you have to do to enter is just be a subscriber
and let me know what kind of x-men easter eggs you want to see during Wandavision so one of
the biggest things that we actually found out is that the first three episodes are actually only 30
minutes each way shorter the later episodes get a little bit longer but it's basically just like the
mandalorian only Wandavision is nine episodes instead of the eight that the mandalorian had
all the different marvel disney plus series will have different episode counts they won't all be
exactly the same but when we get to falcon and winter soldier episodes and then loki episodes
and the rest of the shows later this year i wouldn't be surprised if all the marvel disney
plus series are mostly the same in that regard in that all the episodes are going to be around
the same length as the mandalorian episodes like they're just programmed for that particular link
because of the amount of money that they spend on the series the other big reason why the first
couple of episodes are so short is because they're doing the sitcom tropes and they want to be as
period specific as possible as accurate to what it would have been had they've been making the tv
shows back during the 50s the 60s and the 70s and so on and during those eras of television sitcoms
were traditionally only 30 minutes long sometimes even less than that because of all the commercials
and speaking of commercials this is actually pretty cool to be as accurate to the period as
possible for each of the different sitcoms that they were parroting the Wandavision episodes
do include classic sitcom commercials during the episodes but the whole thing is the ads themselves
are meant to be clues and easter eggs for the story like other stuff will be happening during
the commercials while they're also selling you products that are supposed to be specific to each
of those different decades like the commercials themselves are mostly more meta commentary for the
story with a bunch of marvel avengers easter eggs like obviously this is all a fake reality around
her we know what's real we the audience but she envisioned are actually buying into the lie as if
they actually were living inside a sitcom and they didn't know that they were inside a sitcom i did a
loki trailer video a little while ago talking about how there's a bunch of rick and morty
references and stuff that they're borrowing from that series in the way they made the loki episodes
but they're also kind of doing that within the Wandavision series as well where say like in rick
and morty rick knows that he's inside a television show he can break the fourth wall in that way
there are moments during Wandavision where you start to see that like the reality cracking around
her this house of m style reality that she creates for herself so even though it seems like she's
completely drunk her own kool-aid so to speak like oh wow this life that i'm living is so amazing
that i'm creating around me she also at times does acknowledge that she's inside a fake reality
it's just that it's so funny to watch commercials from that era the 50s 60s and 70s like the i
love lucy commercials because there's so much sitcom stuff happening during the first part of
this series they actually got jaleel white to moderate their panel that's right steve urkel
from family matters one of the most notable 90s sitcoms actually did the marvel panel and one of
the other reasons why they dropped the first three episodes is because most of those are heavy with
the sitcom tropes and only part of the series will be doing the sitcom thing before it kind
of turned into this bigger avengers wtf event series kevin feige actually said the way they
market the series the way they're selling it to everyone with all the trailers the way they're
building this out was heavily influenced by the way the mandalorian and the star wars people
sold that show he said that they did such a good job of building that as a huge event series that
it's completely influenced the way that they're selling all these marvel disney plush shows to
audiences the exception to that obviously is that Wandavision they're just building is this super
weird series in the best possible way the weirdest thing you've ever seen the mcu do
is sort of like the legion tv show on fx obviously that was an x-men tv show inside the marvel
universe but it was being made by jeff loeb in the marvel tv people not by the marvel studios people
and kevin feige now the difference is is that all the tv shows are coming from kevin feige in marvel
studios the movie people that's why all the movie actors are coming back to play their characters
but Wandavision is very much a legion type of tv show where you're not quite sure what's
real at times and they play with perspective and people's viewpoints only because this is obviously
all about scarlet witch and vision it's mostly from scarlet witch's perspective that's why they
call the tv series wanda vision it is literally her vision as she's watching all these things
but obviously the title is also a reference to a couple other things like wanda and vision
because it's their life together referencing the comic book that was all about their relationship
but also the sitcom tropes of the decade like Wandavision in television you're watching tv with
the name of actual tv sets and even though they're doing a lot of the sitcoms stuff and it seems kind
of silly it does go dark at times when they start referencing a lot of twilight zone tropes from the
rod sterling version of the tv show the classic twilight zone and i referenced the legion x-men
tv show when asked about all the marvel phase 4 x-men mutant stuff of it all kevin feige wasn't
very forthcoming he didn't want to give away too many big spoilers like i said he doesn't
want to join the spoiler bros with tom hall and mark ruffalo and now chris pratt apparently too
but overall the creators did acknowledge that the series borrows aspects of all the biggest scarlet
witch comic book runs through the avengers the vision scarlet witch miniseries that cover their
relationship the birth of their children as we see during all the trailers the white vision
resurrection storyline where they brought him back to life avengers disassembled where she starts to
go a little bit nuts then full-blown house of m where she creates a whole separate reality for
herself and the follow-up sequel story to that the ending where reality starts to crack around
her and crumble until she finally utters her famous no more mutants line so in that same way
her storyline through the episodes progresses like her storyline through marvel comics but the series
isn't adapting exact versions of those stories just aspects of them so if there are scenes or
easter eggs that seem like they're referencing those big comic book stories it's completely
intentional like even elizabeth olsen when she was going on the talk shows the last week was
asked about the wine bottle house of m easter egg and she's like you know that would be very clever
if our prop master and our set designer did that like she's saying i can't give away spoilers but
yes that's totally intentional i know a lot of you been asking about quicksilver showing up during
the series well the whole thing with this series is that they're addressing all the storyline
they're dealing with all the past trauma that they never had the time to do in the other big avengers
movies like after he dies during avengers age of ultron you see her just completely lose it briefly
but then in sort of the post-credits scenes they never really address it and they never address it
again during captain america civil war or avengers infinity war or avengers end game so one of the
reasons why Wandavision was one of the first series that they wanted to do during marvel phase
4 is because there was just so much of her story that had been untold in the mcu movies all the
actors are fantastic i mean you've seen elizabeth olsen paul betty in all the avengers movies you've
seen their other movies as well too so you know what they're capable of but monica rambo the way
they treated the agnes character who's basically their version of agatha harkness from the comics
they were all fantastic like catherine hahn is amazing she fits perfectly into all the tropey
sitcoms stuff but also works really well when the series goes full blown crazy town avengers level
thinking about further on x-men stuff happening in the mcu kevin feige was asked when marvel phase 4
is supposed to end because they've announced so many movies and so many tv shows people want to
know when is phase 4 ending and when does marvel phase 5 begin because marvel phase
5 is really when people expect to see the new rebooted versions of all the x-men characters
and typically each phase of marvel movies has ended with a big avengers team-up film like the
first avengers movie avengers age of ultron avengers infinity war and avengers end game
and as you can see here avengers 5 isn't anywhere on their current movie release schedule so people
are just wondering when the transition is going to happen feige basically did his version of the
old man captain america meme no i don't think i will tell you when that's going to happen
my assumption based on a lot of the castings and the rumors for the movies that are later
in the schedule that we know about like black panther 2 the new fantastic four movie is that
marvel phase 5 will begin around those movies particularly the new fantastic four movie either
at the end of that or at the beginning of that and during marvel phase 5 that's when we will
see the full-blown rebooted x-men mcu movie with new versions of the characters deadpool 3 is kind
of an exception to that because it's going to be a little bubble of its own continuity
technically part of the mcu but also technically kind of doing its own thing the only reason why
they can get away with that with a deadpool character is because he can comment on a lot
of the inconsistencies like he can actually make jokes about the mcu and whether or not he's in
the mcu but i think they've done a fantastic job with marketing the series and hyping up how weird
it's going to be so the people aren't surprised when they go into the first couple of episodes
and it gets really really weird and even though kevin feige confirmed big crossover with doctor
strange too multiverse of madness he wouldn't give too much away about exactly how that leads
up to doctor strange too but when they actually start releasing the episodes to everyone and i do
my full episode videos i'll start pointing those easter eggs out things referencing the multiverse
and how that's all going to spill into the other marvel phase 4 movies and influence the plot of
what's happening during marvel phase 4 in general this friday both episode 1 and episode 2 will be
released at the same time so i don't know if i'm going to do my episode 1 and 2 video together is
a super video or i'll break that up into two pieces but as long as you have alerts enabled
for my channel you'll see all those episode videos it'll be just like the mandalorian series
so leave all your requests in the comments below i'll name a giveaway winner when i post my next
big marvel video everyone click here for that Wandavision episode 1 opening scene video and
for all you avatar the last airbender fans there's been talk of a new animated series happening click
