You have to be so careful with Youtube and social media. So many creative folks out there that want to put their stamp on something. To include inserting their fan casting.

But man - if Magneto showed up like that Disney+ would explode with the amount of hits it would take from rewatchings.

Disney NEVER would have put that out there like that even if they are going to introduce Magneto.  That would diminish the surprise.

I'm just gullible.

Is there any reason that this show has to have a "big bad"?  I wouldn't be surprised that the main antagonist is Wanda, as lame as that may be to MCU fans.  All the other options would seem forced at this point.

It really would work for the show as in the end it leads into the Multiverse of Madness: no Mephisto need apply!

I don't think it would be forced. The show has been teasing an offscreen presence almost every episode, from Agent Woo asking "Who's doing this to you, Wanda?" to cryptic clues every other dialogue line like Agnes saying "The devil is in the details", from numerous Easter eggs to Wanda denying to Vision that it's all her. And in the comics, Wanda gives birth to her boys through dark magic obtained from Mephisto. Plus, Wanda is better than that, she an Avenger. She might have a temper and take things a little personally sometimes, but she's good at heart.

That's only teasing and hints for people who read forums like this or comic collectors. Most of that stuff will have went over the heads of most general viewers.

Either the payoff will be big and the fans will get a big name or it will be minor and all those “clues” were beautiful misdirections meant to confuse and mislead. Either way I’m satisfied.

But you know there will be a bunch of people who have money riding hard on SS3 who are loving the show now but will rip it to shreds if he doesn’t appear

Wanda is still a hero at heart. When she stole Vision, apparently it was to save him. I just refuse to believe that Wanda would enslave thousands of innocent people for her own selfish reasons. I think something bigger and darker is going on and Wanda will have to be "part of the solution" like Monica says.

I'm not saying there isn't a behind the scenes villain involved but I'd guess it's someone we've already seen. So, for example, if it's Mephisto and they've been hiding behind the identity of Dottie or Pietro, or someone else, there needs to be a logical explanation to the general audience regarding who the character is and how they fit into the bigger picture of the MCU.

I'm more inclined to believe, and I hope it's true, that the villain is Mastermind - which I think you were the first to mention in this thread - and that his role is similar to when he tried to control Jean Grey in the classic X-Men story from the bronze age.

That'd be cool if it was Mastermind, and very reminiscent of the original Dark Phoenix Saga, but I'm also inclined to think Marvel Studios just  isn't ready yet to unleash Mutantkind the MCU version on the world just yet. We'll see.

If you've been on the Internet at all in the past month, you've probably seen some of the conversation surrounding Marvel Studios' WandaVision. The series had quite a lot of hype and expectation prior to its launch, especially as -- thanks to the circumstances surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic -- it became both the first Marvel Cinematic Universe content in over a year, and the first of Marvel's nearly a dozen new TV shows set to exclusively debut on Disney+. While many viewers have argued that WandaVision has met that hype, the series has been met with some scrutiny, with some arguing that it is too fixated on its sitcom-inspired approach, or that it is a far cry away from the kind of big blockbusters that the MCU is known for. The most recent criticism of the show -- something that has since become a topic of conversation on social media -- has been the very nature of its release, with some expressing disdain for the fact that it is splintered out into weekly installments. While everyone's viewing preferences are different and have only grown more so in the age of "binge drops" from streaming services like Netflix, making that argument for WandaVision deeply undermines the nature of the series' storytelling. On both a narrative and a cultural level, WandaVision is proving why weekly episode releases still work -- and how they still can in the years ahead.

 

To an extent, it's easy to see where the criticisms surrounding WandaVision's release structure are coming from -- especially when compared to the experience of watching an MCU movie. The franchise has had staying power for over a decade thanks to its crowd-pleasing blockbusters, which (even when working in a massive tragic cliffhanger, in the case of Avengers: Infinity War) manage to present a standalone and satisfying beginning, middle, and end. Sure, you might leave the theater buzzing about whatever was set up by an MCU film's post-credits scene or speculating about how a certain Easter egg could manifest itself down the line, but Marvel Studios still showed you its entire hand when it came to that film's specific story. When making that direct comparison, an argument could be made that receiving WandaVision in twenty-minute chunks is narrative unsatisfying -- but honestly, the reverse would be unsatisfying in a whole new way.

 

Just look at Marvel's "Defendersverse" of Netflix shows as an example -- sure, they contained some great moments and some of the best-ever MCU performances, but the strategy of releasing them in thirteen-hour binge drops made them inherently inaccessible to some. If you were a Marvel fan who was unable to stay up and marathon all thirteen episodes in one sitting the second they hit Netflix on Friday morning, your options would either be to avoid social media or anything tied to the show, or risk being spoiled on the handful of "big" plot points. Those plot points would also fade from the public consciousness shortly after the season dropped, outside of groups of diehard fans still theorizing about that corner of the universe.

Mainly because she's exhibiting more powers than they've ever shown her have in the comics or in the MCU.

When I isolate out the things they've never shown her doing before and try to match them to any of the big bads we've been hypothesizing only Mephisto matches them.

In general Feige sticks to the comics unless he has a compelling reason to do otherwise.  It's hard to imagine they'd make the already-overpowered Wanda into someone even more overpowered than she's ever been.

Also there's just no way she's editing and broadcasting Wandavision.  Plus EVERY Wandavision commercial is a subtle and often-sadistic taunt at Wanda, so it wouldn't make sense that she's doing that to herself.

Ok ..heres a hilarious theory that I have to get out in the world..its a joke,but bear with me..

They were saying it's going to be a "Mandalorian moment" at the end,anyone remember?

Ok,so we have potential big bads,Mephisto, Nightmare,Grim Reaper and the High Evolutionary (I know, GOTG 3,but stick with me for a second)

What if Dr. Herbert Wyndham is working with SWORD to help try to create super soldiers with his machine and at the end BECOMES a super big bad? And theres a cameo of him at the end...

Because...ya know..

As soon as I saw the source referenced I was waiting for the ads for The Onion to come up too.

Heard that the last three episodes are all slated to be double-length, about an hour each.  So based upon what we're used to this show is more like 12 episodes, so we've only seen half of it so far and there's a plenty of time left to reveal tons of stuff.
