PREVIOUSLY: In the wake of a (possibly?) game-changing and (definitely!) surprising reveal at the end of the 5th episode of the hit Disney+ streaming series "WandaVision, we looked at why longtime Marvel movie fans were now more convinced than ever that they're seeing the beginning of reality-reshaping shenanigans that could bring the heroes and villains of the X-Men series into the Marvel Cinematic Universe - and looked back on the complicated history of why that's considered such a big deal, so difficult to make happen in the first place and why this (of all things) is thought to suggest it. Now, in PART II: A breakdown of which forces (ALLEGEDLY!) aligned behind the scenes at early-2000s Marvel Inc. to turn a pair of secondary X-Men/Avengers characters into the unlikely center of a complex corporate custody battle, the stubborn machinations that made it all even worse and the absurd "Plan B" that turned two Marvel Publishing franchises into incomprehensible mush for almost a decade and almost scuttled the MCU in total just as it was taking off.
