MUTANTVISION: PART III

With apologies for the delay (Note to self: Let's NOT try to guess at the movie-target storyline of new television and old comic books at the same time just because they're nominally related - SIGNIFICANTLY more work than it looks like upfront!) let's tie a bow off on this VERY lengthy and examination of how one of "WandaVision's" most attention-getting plot twists wasn't just a big moment for longtime fans but also a major turning of the page (one way or another) in a decade-plus of absurdly convoluted behind-the-scenes media-industry melodrama that may (finally?) be sorting itself out in real time. As with PART II, this whole "story" is scattershot by nature, so there's another (shorter this time) recap in play upfront AND I've segregated the "WandaVision story speculation" with actualy Episode 7 'Big Spoiler' business (and Episode 8/9 "Big Guesses") to the very end after all the "weird comics history" stuff so no one avoid that needs to feel totally left out. As such the BULK of the episode's main section is laying out the aftermath of what happened after the "Inhumans become the new X-Men so the MCU doesn't need Mutants" (alleged) retool fell apart at Marvel Publishing and took a bunch of the old corporate structure with it; along with what that does/doesn't look like going forward and some "Bigger Picture" (ahem) commentary on what this says about where we put our focus on these kinds of stories. Also there's a BUNCH of "random weird trivia suggested by "WandaVision" speculation" in there that kept getting pushed ahead by having to make this longer, too, so... have fun with that!
