AFTERVISION

YUP! One more "WandaVision" episode - didn't plan for that (in fact, planned against it) but things got in the way and you work with what you've got and in the midst of typing up some fill-ins for hammering the "MutantVision" trilogy into a single upload sans-recaps because folks requested that we basically ended up with a whole other episode worth of content and waste not want not - though since last week some busy-ness around the house kept a full upload from happening altogether we're gonna try to make this week a twofer plus some Reviews and Classics AND still get that combo-episode up - but after that, I think we'll move on from the Maximoff Family for awhile unless Marvel decides we don't get to (or if a proper "series review" feels like enough of a separate thing people want?) This is more of an overview of the aftermath, as the popular-culture processes the finale of the series that (maybe?) got to end up as the Western World's last MASSIVE pandemic-lockdown era collective experience - the meta-on-meta Season Finale to a year of binge-watching and mandatory safe-space nostalgia TV filling the void of blockbuster entertainment. So of course it almost HAD to be a project about blockbuster movie characters LITERALLY locking themselves up in a psychokinetic Snuggie of small-screen comfort viewing and forcing themselves to confront the realization that the world around them is suffocating as a result. A decidedly bonkers mash-up of Marvel action, existential drama, media satire, sitcom archaeology, Karen-on-Karen witchcraft violence and some genuine introspection on behalf of the Marvel/Disney on the subject of what it means to be the top-reseller of bygone American Dreams that so easily become nightmares when unattained.
