Marvel Studios礼物WandaVision, a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) – two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives – begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems. The new series kicks off the MCU’s newest venture in presenting smaller stories that inevitably connect to the larger MCU. We got a chance to watch the first three episode ofWandaVision所以下面的评论will be based only on that alone.
WandaVision Trailer:
The Good:
The two biggest highlights so far come from Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda) and Paul Bettany (Vision). Their chemistry is stronger inWandaVisioncompared to what we’ve seen in the MCU films. One of the things I love about them is how well they compliment one another. The best moments are when they joke around with each other, and the audience is in on those inside jokes. I thought the funniest jokes were the ones that go against the grain of how many of the conservative TV sitcoms used to operate.
虽然这不是演出中的驱动点，但我真的很感谢演员阵容中的多样性。它从来没有在演出中真正解决过，但是鉴于在复制的节目中缺少多样性，这绝对是显而易见的WandaVision。看到黑白情景喜剧中的非裔美国人角色真是令人震惊，他们实际上有有意义的台词。
Outside of that, the format of the show seems pretty unique and cool. It’s almost like an episode within an episode both literally and figuratively speaking.WandaVisionfaithfully commits to the similar plots that would happen in a TV sitcom, and it’s not until a few brief moments we’re reminded that we’re still in the MCU.
The Bad:
Granted it’s much too early to really pick this series apart. However, my only issue is that some of the current setup of the show is wasted primarily due to the marketing of the show. The trailers have already informed us of one of the dynamics of the series, but the show itself tries to treat that dynamic as an unraveling, mysterious surprise. If only Disney would’ve featured just the sitcom-like aspect of the show, the other elements ofWandaVisionwould’ve served as a much better surprise for viewers. Needless to say, this was just a lost opportunity to really capture audiences who prepare for the week to week viewing.
The only other minor issue is the episode length. They’re only about 30 minutes in length and that leaves much to be desired if we’re going to be on a weekly viewing period with the show. There’s a chance some of the other episodes will be a little longer, but that will depend on the story getting deeper and giving us much more to chew on in between the weeks. Marvel more than likely will have some great surprises in store, but as it stands right now with only 3 episodes, Marvel will really have to turn it up a notch.
判决：
WandaVisionis the quirky and fun cog in the big MCU wheel that is sure to add something fresh to the MCU. As it stands right now, it almost seems a bit too filler-ish because the plot isn’t really moving with just three episodes in. Obviously, it’s much too early to call. I’m hopeful that by the time the season finale comes around,WandaVisionwill deliver something major that will help push the narrative of the larger MCU. I’m also hopeful that we’ll be able to dig even deeper into the characters of both Wanda and Vision. Either way, fans should have a pretty good time with the debut ofWandaVision。The first two episodes release Friday, Jan 15, 2020 and then the remaining 7 episodes will release every Friday after that.
