7 Problems With WandaVision That Nobody Wants To Admit

WandaVision was a show that pitched itself on being totally different than anything else the Marvel Cinematic Universe had given us before.

The first few episodes were almost entirely straight pastiches of American sitcoms from the mid 20th century, with only the slightest hints that there was more going on underneath the surface. The show also prided itself on being an intensely emotional examination of grief and refused to pull any punches depicting the pain that comes with such intense feelings.

This seemed to indicate that the finale wouldn’t end with another superhero movie fight where floating characters punch each other amongst busy CGI scenery. Unfortunately, WandaVision couldn't help but succumb to these familiar trappings, and they feel extremely out of place in the series.

With the exception of Vision’s ingenious way of defeating his alternate self with a philosophical debate, the fight scene is much too similar to climaxes that we’ve seen in other Marvel films.

WandaVision’s final episode could have kept up its commitment to representing a fresh new era for the MCU, but it instead feels obligated to deliver that final fight scene and comes out the weaker for it.
