WandaVision 10 Twists That Totally Shocked Us

Currently, there’s no event in pop culture as important or crowd-pleasing as WandaVision. The MCU’s first excursion into television, the show also represents a huge risk for the traditionally by-the-book universe, thanks to its slower and sitcom-inspired storytelling approach.

Seven episodes in, and with only two more to go, WandaVision is fast-approaching the finish line and there are still several questions unresolved. The last two episodes are bound to pack an even bigger punch and fans already filled the internet with countless theories about the possible outcome for the Scarlet Witch and her Vision. One thing’s certain, though, and it’s that the finale will provide even more of the twists and turns that the show has been providing since day one.

10 Should I Take It From The Top?

By episode five, the action in the show is already in full throttle. With a 1980s setting and two rapidly growing babies, Wanda and Vision are soon at their wits’ end. So when Agnes offers to care for the babies, Wanda agrees but Vision expresses concern. This makes Agnes seemingly glitch, going out of character and asking Wanda if they should just take the whole thing “from the top,” a common expression in acting which means re-starting the scene.

The sequence is creepy and tense, and a clear sign that Wanda’s reality is more feeble than it seems. Agnes’s willingness to step out of character was so abrupt and decidedly also hints at her real role in the story and the true extent of her influence.

9 The Beekeeper

Episode two of WandaVision is still presented in black-and-white. With a 1960s setting clearly inspired by Bewitched, it follows a sweet and slapstick plotline about Wanda and Vision preparing for the neighborhood’s talent show. The episode’s end, however, features the first clue that Wanda is seemingly in control of everything.

After hearing strange sounds outside their home, the couple discovers a mysterious beekeeper emerging from a manhole. Wanda immediately realizes he’s an intruder and rewinds the tape, resetting their reality to before the man appears. It’s a great way to hint at the idea of Wanda being in control without explicitly declaring it, and a perfect way to end the episode.

8 Yo-Magic Yogurt

WandaVision features numerous commercials that tie both to the time period the episode is set in and to Wanda’s backstory. They’re usually odd and even a tad creepy, but not entirely dark. That changes in episode six, when the commercial takes a turn for the macabre.

It features a young boy on an island, hungry and alone. A shark emerges from the sea and hands him a pack of Yo-Magic yogurt before leaving. The weak boy tries but fails to open it and eventually dies of starvation. The tagline then claims that Yo-Magic is “the snack for survivors.” It’s a pretty dark and initially shocking ad that marks a distinct departure from the more abstract commercials that came before.

7 Monica Gets The Boot

By episode three, Geraldine is one of Wanda’s closest friends. She even helps deliver Wanda’s babies when Vision isn’t able to get Dr. Nielsen in time. While watching over the newly born Billy and Tommy, Geraldine reveals she knows Pietro was killed by Ultron, making Wanda realize she’s an intruder.

After briefly interrogating her, Wanda throws Geraldine out of the hex. Outside of Westview, Monica lands on the grass and is surrounded by S.W.O.R.D. agents as “Daydream Believer” plays in the background. The moment is both shocking and tense, enhanced by Elizabeth Olsen and Teyonah Parris’ incredible performances, and yet another sign that Wanda is willing to do everything to protect her new reality.

6 Monica Gets Her Powers

In episode seven, Monica is determined to get back into the hex and help Wanda break out of her reality. After her first attempt to re-enter fails, she straight-up runs toward the static wall and crosses it. She makes her way through a static tunnel as visions from her past dance around her, in a sequence reminiscent of the Fantastic Four’s initial transformations in the 2005 movie.

When she emerges, she seemingly has heightened vision and other energy-based abilities, just like her comic book counterpart, Photon. Many fans believed that Monica would indeed get her powers during or by the end of WandaVision, so to actually see it happen was beyond exciting.

5 Warning Hayward

WandaVision’s fifth chapter, “On A Very Special Episode…” features the first real confirmation that Wanda is (apparently) the only one who can willingly leave and re-enter the hex. After Captain Hayward, S.W.O.R.D.’s shady acting director, sends a drone into the hex to kill Wanda, she steps out of the static wall, drone in hand and tired of the organization’s shenanigans.

She warns them to stop messing with her new reality, telling them she has what she wants and no one will take it away from her again. She makes the soldiers point their guns at Hayward just as she reinforces the static wall, before re-entering the hex. It’s also noteworthy that Wanda has her Sokovian accent during the scene, giving yet another layer of complexity to an already complicated character.

4 The Twins!

Fans already knew that the twins would be introduced in WandaVision, thanks to the trailers showing a pregnant Wanda. However, it was surprising to see them growing up at such an accelerated rate. In episode five, the twins age up to be five and then ten years old, and by episode six they already have their powers.

Wiccan and Speed are two of the most important and popular members of the Young Avengers. Seeing their origin story in WandaVision has been fascinating and charming, although judging by their storyline in the comics, the show’s end might be less than ideal for these kids.

3 Expanding The Hex

The Halloween episode featured the perfect combination of storytelling and fan-service to make it a truly memorable hour. Not only do Wanda and Vision use their classic comic book costumes, but the twins also wear their Wiccan and Speed outfits. The episode is also incredibly important because it features more of the strange new Pietro and reveals that S.W.O.R.D. has been tracking Vision all along.

At the end of the episode, Vision tries to leave the hex but is unable to do so and instead begins to disintegrate. When Billy senses his father’s distress, he warns his mother, who expands the hex’s reach, swallowing Darcy and several S.W.O.R.D. agents. The entire sequence is not only spectacular to watch, but it also marks a turning point for Wanda, as this new boundary puts her immense powers to the test.

2 Pietro Returns?

One of the most jaw-dropping moments in the show came at the end of the fifth episode. As Vision and Wanda fight over the surreality of their situation, the bell rings and Wanda opens her door to find her dead brother, Pietro. Except, it isn’t the MCU’s Pietro but rather Fox’s Pietro. Not that she could know that, but fans could and Twitter exploded in excitement.

Many believed this was the ultimate confirmation that the multiverse was real and that Pietro could bring along more of Fox’s characters, mainly Michael Fassbender’s Magneto. Others believed that Peters was indeed Mephisto, Marvel’s version of the devil who was manipulating Wanda to get to her twins. The truth might be somewhere in between, but the original reveal definitely ranks as one of streaming’s biggest moments.

1 Agatha All Along

When it comes to twists, Agatha has to take the cake. Fans speculated that Agnes was indeed Agatha Harkness, the Salem witch who often acts as Wanda’s mentor and caretaker in the comics. However, the truly shocking reveal was that she’s behind everything happening in Westview, including the fake Pietro and the death of poor Sparky.

More surprising was the fact that Agatha was able to put Wanda under some kind of trance. And considering Wanda is arguably the MCU’s most powerful character so far, that really puts into question the extent of Agatha’s powers. Episode eight will surely provide Agatha’s motives for the entire enterprise, but what’s certain is that there’s still more to her than meets the eye.
