Today, let's talk about the American drama "Wanda Vision".
The title is WandaVision / Vision and the Scarlet Witch / Wanda Maximoff and The Vision (2021), alias Wanda Vision / Vision and the Scarlet Witch / Vision and the Scarlet Witch.
In the original plan, the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will start in 2020, and the main movies are "Black Widow", "Eternals", "Shang Qi", "Doctor Strange 2", "Thor 4" and so on.
However, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the release time of "Black Widow" has been pushed again and again, from May 1, 2020, until July 9, 2021, which is long overdue. Originally planned to start the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with "Black Widow", it has now become "Wanda Vision".
In addition, Marvel's original plan was to release "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" as Marvel's first drama. Also due to the impact of the epidemic, Disney+ adjusted the broadcast schedule, and "Wanda Vision" became Marvel's first drama. An original series.
Marvel president Kevin Feige was pleased with the change, saying WandaVision would be a better introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's transition to television.
In this way, "WandaVision" became the first Marvel series not executive produced by the old man since the death of Stan Lee in November 2018.
The time background of the play is set in 2023, that is, after "Avengers: Endgame" (2019), and the initial play title is tentatively set to "Big Red" (Big Red)
"WandaVision" reportedly had a whopping $25 million per episode budget, making it the most expensive TV show in history, surpassing its 2010 budget of $21.7 million per episode.
WandaVision proved the obvious fact that Scarlet Witch is the most powerful and powerful member of the Avengers. After all, this is the witch who smashed Thanos to pieces with his bare hands.
Kevin Feige admits it too.
But in February 2021, Captain Marvel actress Brie Larson claimed that her character Captain Marvel is the most powerful Avenger. It's understandable to build momentum for the upcoming "Captain Marvel 2", but it's really unnecessary to start a battle.
The plot of "Wanda Vision" is very simple. It does not have various plots that go up and down, but a very straightforward story from the inside.
Let the audience start with the stories around Wanda, and slowly zoom out to complete the whole story.
At the beginning of the episode, there was a strangeness around Wanda that was not easy to detect and could not be ignored, and fans began to make various plot speculations and inferences.
With the end of the whole drama, the whole truth is gradually revealed, and most people can roughly guess the truth of the incident after watching one or two episodes.
The plot setting is not too complicated, fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of fans to participate, and at the same time not dampening enthusiasm, Marvel is very accurate in this regard.
The title of "WandaVision" plays a game of words.
The title of the show is "Wanda Vision" instead of "Wanda and the Vision", which means that this is Wanda's Vision, not Wanda and the Vision that is dead.
Maybe the signs of this were not obvious in the first few episodes, but in the next few episodes, the truth came out, and Wanda was the key to the whole incident.
The series was inspired by multiple stories from Marvel Comics, including two 1980s series The Vision and the Scarlet Witch, House of M (2005) A limited series about Wanda creating an idyllic life, The Vision (2016) tells the story of Vision retiring to the suburbs and forming a composite family.
Marvel also confirmed the sitcoms that the show will honor. They are "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (The Dick Van Dyke Show, 1961), "Bewitched" (Bewitched, 1964), "The Brady Bunch" (The Brady Bunch, 1969), "Family Bonds" ( Family Ties, 1982), Malcolm in the Middle (2000) and Modern Family (2009).
A major feature of the Marvel series is all kinds of crazy linkages and countless details.
This is a magic weapon for fans to pass the time. Many people like to look for details frame by frame. This is also the secret of success for Marvel Entertainment.
Audiences and fans can pay attention to the easter eggs of this play when watching.
"Wanda Vision" has a total of 9 episodes, the first 7 episodes are 20 to 30 minutes in length, and the 8th and 9th episodes are 40 minutes long. The last three episodes have easter eggs, the seventh and eighth episodes each have an end credit egg, and the last episode, the ninth episode, has two easter eggs.
The last two easter eggs in the whole play correspond to the upcoming movies "Captain Marvel 2" and "Doctor Strange 2" respectively.
You can pay attention to the prelude to the title.
Wanda's voice at the beginning of each episode saying "WandaVision Synopsis" changes, getting less cheerful each time.
The play expresses different time and space through different aspect ratios. Sitcoms started in the 1950s and continued through the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
Episodes from the 1950s and 1970s used a 4×3 ratio to reflect the boxy feel of early cathode tube televisions.
Filmed from the 1980s to 2010, the series used a full-frame widescreen ratio of 16×9 to express the feel of modern television.
When I finally filmed the off-screen scenes, I went back to the 2.39:1 ratio, which is close to life.
To make the show's capture of the 1950s sitcom more realistic, Vision painted this black-and-white scene in blue instead of maroon. Because blue grayscale looks better.
Tianjian Bureau
The Tianjian Bureau played an important role in the play, on the one hand, its responsibilities, and on the other hand, it was to lead to the upcoming "Captain Marvel 2". In Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019), Nick Fury was seen in the Sky Sword Bureau's space base.
The full name of Tianjian Bureau (SWORD) stands for Sentient Weapon Observation Response Department. In the manga, it stands for the Perceptual World Observation Response Department.
What they observed included Wanda and Vision, as these two were powerful weapons of sentience.
Another interesting character is Quicksilver.
In the play, through the mouths of the characters, Kuaiyin's replacement of actors was violently complained.
Evan Peters (Evan Peters) plays Quicksilver in the play, not the Quicksilver (aka Peter Maximoff) in 20th Century Fox's "X-Men" series of films, but An ordinary guy named Ralph Bohner.
Ralph Bona was enchanted by Agatha and turned into an illusion of Quicksilver.
Also, all the X-Men movies featuring Quicksilver took place in the past, from the 1970s to the 1990s, so in WandaVision, the X-Men Quicksilver should be in his sixties or seventies people.
In addition, in the process of character selection, there was a huge dispute between Marvel and Fox due to copyright issues, and the role of Quicksilver became the focus of controversy. The result was Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron and X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) . After Disney acquired Fox in 2019, that problem disappeared.
Open the fourth stage of MCU,
Wanda becomes the Scarlet Witch.
