There isn’t actually much to spoil about the initially two episodes of “WandaVision.” And yet, I panic describing way too significantly about the working experience for those who have not watched them, as jumping in not accurately knowing what to anticipate was component of my pleasure (beyond the comforting normalcy of looking at the Marvel Studios symbol engage in at the top of something new and interesting). Yes, it’s enjoying about with tropes from Tv set sitcoms previous. And indeed, there is one thing really weird and disturbing lingering less than that pleasantly nostalgic area. And certainly, it’s usually quite funny — with Paul Bethany’s Eyesight stepping out as a especially rewarding comedic surprise.
