He's a machine and she could manipulate or destroy the mind stone.Apologies if already mentioned... But how, by implication, would Hayward know Wanda could bring Vision 'back online'?...
Looks great.
Okay the last one made laugh.Or she'll say it to end the Westview illusion, ie "No more Westview" or "No more illusions" or "No more sitcoms".
That’s basically it. Of course they tried to keep it a bit vague because there’s the witches angle, the mythical being stuff(Scarlett Witch) and she was suppose to be born with a certain innate connection to the stone but yeh they basically left that bit unambiguous so that they could later on probably bring back to the table when they decide to run with the X Men stuff.So am I misunderstanding or is it implied that Wanda had her powers as a child before she was experimented on?
If so, they just retroactively introduced us to mutants.
She was a witch, but her powers would have "withered on the vine" had she not been exposed to the Infinity stone. The stone was like miracle grow on nutrient starved soil.So am I misunderstanding or is it implied that Wanda had her powers as a child before she was experimented on?

Yeah, all the way through it has seemed like a genuine relationship.i think the conversation at avengers HQ shows that they fell in love with each other through conversation and interactions, not the mind stone.
I don't think they introduced mutants. Agatha called her a myth which says to me that Wanda is something else. A reincarnation of a powerful witch. No mutant gene necessary.
THE SCARLET WITCH
I don't think it's a full skirt. Her legs are still visible in front. I think it's more something like this that just gives it the silhouette of a skirt, but is open in front and with pants under it:I noticed that the silhouette that Wanda saw also wore a skirt. That seems odd since Wanda's always preferred capes.
Lying about Vision does seem to put him into a villain role. And I kinda wish that hadn't been the case. I figured he'd be portrayed as a jerk and a bad boss from the moment he was introduced as the guy who replaced Monica's mom as the head of SWORD. And sure enough, not only is he a jerk but a corrupt one at that.
I have two problems with that. First, I find the character to be bit too clichéd and predictable for an otherwise imaginative show. Second, I'm not crazy about the way every sympathetic human character is on "Team Wanda". Hayward's aggressive attitude towards a mentally unstable former Hydra asset who has imprisoned thousands of people isn't exactly unreasonable. But because he's an a-hole and quite possibly evil, his arguments are easily dismissed by the three plucky heroes. And that is ultimately less interesting than if Monica and Hayward were both portrayed as well-intentioned characters with an understandable disagreement.
This episode man...
Seriously all Wanda wanted to do was just watch her sitcoms, learn her English and live happily ever after in Dirty Jersey with her synthezoid in peace. Director Hayward is such a SOB. And Agatha Harkness and her shade in this episode was great.
They were wrong as hell for that explosion scene at the beginning.
Was I the only one that got the implication that Wanda had her powers before she interacted with the Mind Stone and that it only amplified what already existed? Has to be a clear lead into mutants...
This week we got flashbacks of young Wanda and Pietro. This morning I suddenly wondered if the actors playing them were the same ones in that 'Halloween in Sokovia' cutaway gag from two weeks ago.
I double-checked and...the answer is no. They're two different sets of young actors. They don't even look alike. Almost as if this week features the "real" twins' past, while that gag was just a couple actors pretending.
Wanda wasn't kidding when she said "That's not how I remember it."
I love the lines Agatha had during Wanda’s walk down memory lane and at the beginning.
“Love the Cold War aesthetic!”
“That accent comes and goes doesn’t it!”
“All those costumes and hairstyles, I was SOO patient!”

I hope so. I know majority of the fans want her to be a mutant, but I want her to be a witch. We'll still get mutants in the MCU.I don't think they introduced mutants. Agatha called her a myth which says to me that Wanda is something else. A reincarnation of a powerful witch. No mutant gene necessary.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this point, but leave it to Marvel to make witches, the Salem witch trials, magic, and a 300 year old witch bland as hell. It was presented in such a rote way with no distinction from Infinity Stone powers. Not an ounce of creepiness or atmosphere.
