WandaVision: Ranking The Show's Six Sitcom Eras

6. 2010s - Modern Family/The Office

WandaVision's seventh episode took its inspiration from the mockumentary style sitcoms of the 2010s - mostly Modern Family, with a few references to The Office thrown in.

The tropes that the episode uses, it uses well. The cutaway gag regarding Wanda's expansion of the Hex is brilliant, making light of a situation that had seemed quite serious.

The on-camera interview segments are also brilliant, with Olsen, Bettany, and Kathryn Hahn all nailing their performances in these fun scenes. Fans were delighted when, at one point in the episode as various mishaps delayed him getting home to Wanda and the boys, Vision broke the fourth wall, looking into the camera in a perfect homage to Jim from The Office.

However, being so close to the end of the series meant it was much more common for events outside the Hex to encroach on the sitcom shenanigans.

The need to accommodate this meant that the episode wasn't able to spend quite as much time embracing the decade's humour as earlier entries. This, more than anything else, keeps the episode from a higher ranking.
