WandaVision Finale - 8 MASSIVE Easter Eggs, References And Secrets, Explained
The MCU's first Disney+ series has finally ended, and it included some massive references.
WandaVision's finale has finally dropped and it was every bit the thrilling, emotionally wrought conclusion we expected it to be from the start.
The final episode had a lot to resolve, and for the most part it left most loose threads tied up. Viewers got answers regarding the true identity of fake Pietro (or Fietro), the fate of Wanda's twins and of course the next steps the Scarlet Witch will take as she uncovers her once hidden destiny.
Those fan theories about the multiverse and Mephisto didn't play out as many had expected (not that it would be a genuine criticism of the series anyway), but WandaVision's conclusion was still suitably epic, emotionally charged and intriguing as far as what it bodes for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As with every episode of WandaVision, the finale also included some juicy Easter eggs relating to both the source material and the MCU's own history.
There are still plenty of elements from the series left unresolved, and sneakier details that may have eluded the eyes of viewers, but luckily the comics are there to fill in the blanks and to provide a solid foundation to theorise what may be in store come not only Wanda's next adventure, but Monica Rambeau's too.
8. The Darkhold And The Sorcerer Supreme
WandaVision's seventh episode concluded with the bombshell that Kathryn Hahn's Agnes was really the witch Agatha Harkness, and that she'd been manipulating elements of Westview from right underneath Wanda's nose.
Many had predicted that Agnes was indeed Agatha, but her motivations and goals were left unclear until last week's episode, which entailed a deep dive through Wanda's past. One element that episode left uncovered however was the sinister looking book in Agatha's basement, with episode seven featuring a lingering shot of the object before shifting focus back to Agatha and her rabbit Scratchy.
Many fans initially speculated the book to be the Darkhold, an ancient text from Marvel Comics that was previously featured in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but there were also shouts from others (including myself) that it may have even potentially been the Necronomicon, a key text in Scarlet Witch's history that alerts Wanda to the fact she is a Nexus Being, a figure at the centre of the Marvel Multiverse in the comics.
The series finale finally reveals the book to be the Darkhold however, which is slightly confusing given its presence in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but whatever - it's here in WandaVision, and it has a gnarly new design. It's unclear whether its backstory from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. remains intact, or indeed whether or not it's still connected to the Dark Dimension, but it still boasts another connection to Doctor Strange.
As Agatha recounts the prophecy of the Scarlet Witch, she mentions how the witch's power would exceed even that of the "Sorcerer Supreme", a role currently occupied by Stephen Strange.
Either way it looks as though Marvel have big plans for the text, which in the comics was created by the dark lord Chthon, and used to create the first ever vampire in Marvel history.
