![]() ![]() I just wish she had contributed a bit more.Īs for the big fight, while I love Wanda carving the runes on the walls of the Hex, once again the battle felt too clean and cliché. Instead Monica's entire story on the show leads to stopping a few bullets. Hayward fit that mold perfectly, and I thought it would be Mephisto & Agatha vs Scarlet Witch and Photon. I went into the finale thinking Hayward was Mephisto because naturally when you build up two characters (Monica & Wanda) to eventually align on the same sign, you need a common enemy. Monica's arc now just seems like a setup for Captain Marvel 2, and nothing else. As a result, it felt like a shoehorn for Vision's "resurrection." I'm curious to see what they'll do, because I believe he's Vision but without a soul. While the Vision fight ending by discussing a paradox is awesome, it felt like they fought for 3 minutes. That ending was a lot more disappointing than I hoped, and that's because many Chekov's Guns didn't fire, and the loose ends that did tie up did so too conveniently. Say what you want about fan theories, because sure there’s some wild ones out there, but IMHO they were far more interesting than what turned into a paint-by-numbers Marvel show by the end. That and the fact that they made a big deal about it being Evan Peters’s version of Quicksilver, but they were too timid to really go the full mile with the reveal and said ‘oh that isn’t really him’. Personally I’m really let down in particular that instead of making Wanda a villainous character like she is in the House of M storyline this takes from, the show shoehorned in a really predictable villain for her to beat up with no consequences whatsoever for doing what she did to a whole town of innocent people. I don’t think there’s a better example of what’s kind of boring about the MCU than the fact that this show started as a really interesting character drama driven by trauma with some very disturbing horror elements, and over the last 3 episodes it turned into just people punching and throwing magic at each other. IMHO, the whole show kind of flopped like a wet noodle. There's no amount of Checks and Balances in the world to make this right. Leaving a bunch of vigilantes with super powers to do as they wish is obviously incredibly dangerous when even one goes crazy (.as Wanda tends to do in media) but putting them under a governing body always runs the risk of those in power seeking to use them for their own purposes. The fact is that there is no right answer. The Boys just makes a ton of people evil, while Marvel is far too optimistic. Something we know is true as that exact thing happens when Rhodey brings in the Mark II.Įven with the Boys (which was brought up) I still don't think we really have anything that dives head first into the nebulous nature of the whole ordeal. ![]() The issue with that isn't that the Government wanted to reign Tony Stark in (which, for the most part, IM2 actually agrees with) but that they simply wanted him to turn over the Iron Man armor so they could personally use it as a weapon for the US. ![]()
