WandaVision Episode 8 Easter Eggs EXPLAINED - What's The Real Meaning Behind MCU Scarlet Witch?
1. "I Can't Feel You"
So obviously one of the best things about WandaVision is all the theorising and the fan discuss about what it means for all the multiverse and so on and so on, but at its core it's still a superb examination of trauma, loss, grief, and survivor's guilt.
It's been emotionally wrought to watch at times and episode eight was by far the most upsetting, showing us Wanda's losses, and the grief she has for the loved ones who were so unfairly taken away. (By the way, that line from Vision - "what is grief but love persevering?" - absolutely heartbreaking.)
Wanda's pain reaches a tipping point once she confronts Director Haywood at SWORD, who is... GOD he is awful. Whatever your thoughts on human android relationships, buddy, you can't just call Wanda's literal loved one a weapon, or reduce him to how much his parts are worth or whatever. Wanda has to see her partner torn apart and mangled on an operating table and it's truly awful to watch.
When she says enough is enough and jumps down to try and protect her partner's corpse, she puts her hand to his face and says "I can't feel you". This is pretty upsetting all on its own but even more so when you remember the last words Vision ever said to her in Avengers: Infinity War was "I just feel you".
