The sitcom itself now feels like a truly integral part of the story, rather than the wrapping paper around its darker heart. As such, I’ve found myself genuinely caring about this new family that Wanda and Vision have created. A Marvel character having a baby would be big no matter what form it took, but the fact that twins Billy and Tommy are part of arguably Vision and Scarlet Witch’s most recognisable storyline in the comics makes this a landmark moment for the MCU. But Wanda’s hyper-speed pregnancy breaks reality at every stage, ensuring the sitcom feels less like an homage and more like a part of the MCU. At its heart this is the classic “mom gives birth” episode of any family sitcom you can mention, complete with a flustered dad trying to cope. This surreal fun is the driving force of the episode, too. From Herb happily carving through a brick wall with his hedge cutters, through the practical effects of the house decor spinning as Wanda goes into labour, to a genuine stork arriving to metaphorically deliver a baby, there is a surreal nature to episode 3 that’s undeniably joyful. Rather than coming via punctuating moments of darkness, the reminders that this reality is wrong are constant, and - smartly - mostly played for laughs. Unlike the premiere, which presented two pretty straight-laced comedy plots that could have been pulled from Bewitched or The Dick Van Dyke Show, episode 3 is really quite strange throughout. One thing that is clear is that the weirdness of the meta storyline is bleeding into the sitcom. This raises more fun questions to debate Geraldine is clearly a SWORD agent infiltrating this reality, but who are the neighbours? If not SWORD themselves, are they effectively Wanda’s jailors? Manifestations of her own subconsciousness? Or perhaps innocent bystanders in a sinister world? Additionally, Vision himself appears to have a moment of understanding, but reality seems to glitch out before he can complete the thought: is that Wanda’s doing, or an external force? The questions are certainly piling up rather than being cleared up, but episode 3 makes the right move of revealing just enough that it focuses those questions and elevates the mystery beyond just a general sense of unease. WandaVision streams a new episode each Friday on Disney+.Within Westview itself, we discover that Geraldine is new in town and distrusted by Agnes and Herb. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige previously mentioned that the Marvel Cinematic Universe shows to stream on Disney+ will either contain half-hour long episodes or hour-long episodes (depending on the genre, story requirements and the amount of episodes in the seasons) but all will meet the six-hour duration to tell their respective story arc.Įach of WandaVision‘s nine episodes will run for approximately 29-36 minutes, obviously remaining flexible in terms of the pace of the unfolding story they need to unravel. However, with its extensive end credits included, “Now In Color” clocks in at 33 minutes in length, running a little shorter than last week‘s 37 minutes. WandaVision Episode 3 is 25 minutes long. At the same time, Vision suspects something is not quite right about the neighbourhood they are living in. However, when Wanda’s psionic abilities start to go on the fritz, things do not quite go as planned. While attempting to keep the pregnancy a secret from the rest of the Westview residents, both Wanda and Vision prepare for their child’s arrival. However, Wanda’s pregnancy continues to progress at a supernaturally quick rate. Set in a ’70s-like world, the episode pays homage to family sitcoms like The Brady Bunch, Wanda is now already four months pregnant according to Dr Nielson (Randy Oglesby) while Vision questions how fast the baby is growing considering she just discovered she was pregnant the day before. The recently-released episode of the Disney Plus show picks up with Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) following the reveal that the Scarlet Witch is pregnant. We are currently three episodes into Marvel’s WandaVision. WandaVision episode 3 just dropped on Disney Plus.
