WandaVision Episode 5: 8 Biggest Questions We Need Answering
6. Where Did Sparky Come From?
After being rumoured earlier in the week, Sparky the dog was introduced to the MCU in episode five, but sadly didn't last very long. In the comics, the dog was a creation of Vision's, whereas in the show he simply turned up on Wanda's doorstep before Agnes soon followed with a dog house.
This was the first dog seen in Westview, and in a small town like this, particularly one with a radioactive barrier around it, a stray dog appearing seems unlikely. Instead, could it be that there was something more calculated behind his sudden appearance?
When the poor dog ultimately died, it was Agnes who found him, though no one else actually saw what happened to him, and with Kathryn Hahn's character already very suspicious to begin with, there are certainly questions that could be asked surrounding these circumstances.
Since Sparky's origin in the comics is tied to the Grim Reaper, a character long theorised to be connected to Agnes in some way, could there have been something more sinister behind his arrival and subsequent death than just bad luck?
Agnes seemed very interested in the fact that Wanda could 'fix the dead', so could all this have been a plot concocted by Agnes and the Grim Reaper or Mephisto or whoever she may be working with to try and trick Wanda into proving or realizing the full extent of her powers?
