‘WandaVision’ First Rule: Keep your eyes peeled for clues.
[Note from the editor: spoilers for WandaVision Episodes 1 through 8 are included below.]
We’re almost through with the WandaVision Marvel Disney+ show, and still, it tends to feel like there was a lot of stuff to chew on, particularly when it comes to Easter eggs and plot signs. WandaVision, starring Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany as Vision. It takes us into a unique and slightly unnerving world, imitating the sitcoms we love from days gone by. Here, in the suburban areas, Wanda and Vision marry and playhouse. In the sleepy town of Westview, going to impress the boss, making friends with the neighbors, and broadening the relatives are all part of the Marvel couple’s fresh start.
Below are the Major WandaVision Easter Eggs so far.
These Easter eggs serve several functions, from linking the show back to Marvel Comics to citing other MCU aspects. Even offering clues about what could happen in the peachy-aware sitcom world in which Wanda and Vision live. With new Easter eggs detected in every new episode, we’ll update this space every week, so keep this page posted to revisit every Friday.
The Residence House Number for Wanda & Vision
The house number for Wanda and Vision in Westview is 2800. That number is seen prominently as Dr. Nielson (a name that returns to the Nielsen TV rating system) walks out of View during Wanda’s check-up. We did a little investigation and discovered that this number could apply to Earth-2800. One of Earth’s many iterations in the Marvel Comics multiverse, so I just can’t let any information about this show go unnoticed.
Generally speaking, we’re talking about stuff that happens on Earth-616. We discuss some Marvel characters or significant Marvel occurrences from the comics.
Furthermore, we know that in the next Doctor Strange movie, Wanda will be part, the multiverse will be a significant influence. Finally, it’s critical to note that in the Strücker watches advertisement back in Episode 2, “Don’t Touch That Dial,” the hour arm was pointing to “2” and the minute arm has been on “8,” which could likely be yet another allusion to Earth-2800.
Maria “Photon” Rambeau
WandaVision allows viewers the opportunity to get some clarity on the story of Maria Rambeau while also exposing how significant she is in the superhero universe and beyond Captain Marvel’s events. Much like the comics, it’s revealed that after her career as a fighter pilot, Maria became the founding member of S.W.O.R.D., the sister organization S.H.I.E.L.D. A plaque commemorates her in the S.W.O.R.D. headquarters lobby and also includes her call sign, “Photon.”
After so many clues about the agency’s logo in previous seasons, this sequence also formally introduces us to S.W.O.R.D.
Formally named, it is reported that Marvel Comics has retconned the name of the department. In comics, originally, S.W.O.R.D. stands for “Sentient World Observation and Response Department.” Herein, S.W.O.R.D. now calls for “Sentient Weapon Observation and Response Department.”
Darcy has invented “The Hex” phrase.
Hexagonal in form is the truth bubble surrounding Westview, and as a result, Darcy has formally dubbed it “The Hex.” This is a fun homage to the comics. Scarlet Witch manipulates the essence of possibility by unleashing what is generally referred to as “Hexes.” It would be enticing to see if the hexagonal shape was only set up for this Easter egg or a simple explanation of why the reality is.
Endgame’s Deleted Scene, Wanda Stealing Vision
If they can be reused later, Marvel Studios often preferred to hold deleted scenes back. One such deleted scene from Avengers is currently used by WandaVision: Endgame, with Paul Bettany, recently revealing Marvel actually shot a scene in which Scarlet Witch saw the corpse of Vision in a “sort of body bag drawer.” This was cut because Kevin Feige thought it didn’t suit the movie’s overall tone, and he was obviously right, in fact. In comparison, the real body of the discovery Vision was stolen by Wanda makes it much more vivid for an upsetting moment in WandaVision episode 5.
Vision “Awakens” Individuals
Vision’s power to “awaken” people is an Easter egg to the House of M case of the comic book, where Scarlet Witch rewrote the whole universe and created a false reality. There, Wanda defied the power of a girl named Layla Miller and could awake anyone with a touch. To unleash the Avengers, she used those powers, which successfully compelled Wanda to reset reality back to normal – but at a cost.
Scarlet Witch Tries to imitate Magneto.
She performs a stunt that will be recognizable to many enthusiasts of Fox’s X-Men films when Scarlet Witch confronts SWORD; she switches the weapons of SWORD director Hayward against him, just as Magneto did in the iconic “Mind Over Metal” moment in the 2000 X-Men film. This featured Sir Ian McKellen as the Master of Magnetism. Still, the side of Wanda is far more characteristic of the iteration of Michael Fassbender. Scarlet Witch was considered Magneto’s daughter for a long time in the comics, which seems entirely appropriate. What’s more, the actions of Wanda in Westview certainly give people a reason to fear superhumans – just as the actions of Magneto often pardon mutant fear.
The Twins Are “Demon Spawn”
The twins are jokingly referred to by Quicksilver as “demon spawn,” a dialogue line that may appear to be just a joke but is currently preferably on the nose. Scarlet Witch generated Billy and Tommy in the comics using pieces of the soul of Mephisto. This character is basically depicting the Devil by Marvel, a senior demon who reigns over the Hell Dimension. Therefore, these two were quite virtually “demon spawn” in the comics – although it continues to remain to be seen if the same is also true in the MCU.
The Theme Song Messages In WandaVision Episode 7
The WandaVision episode 7 opening title sequence suggests that Wanda’s world is collapsing to the point that she is completely self-absorbed, with “Vision” introduced as almost an oddity; even the radio station she listens to a few minutes later is called “W.N.D.A.” But look carefully at the intro, and you will also see a hint of yet another shadowy existence in Westview trying to manipulate life, even though that one is termed “I know what u are doing Wanda,” It’s pretty clear by the end of the episode which left this statement – and their real tinkering of the title sequence is the most prominent piece of interfering to date.
The Nexus Advertisement Explained from WandaVision
The ads in WandaVision have often been relevant, generally based on Wanda’s past trauma experience. But the one in episode 7 is exceptionally significant because it immediately quotes something termed a “nexus.” This evidently allows the individual to anchor oneself to the reality of their selection; side effects include “feeling your feelings, confronting your truth, seizing your destiny, and possibly more depression.”
This is explicitly a reference to All Worlds’ Intersection, an existing feature of Marvel mythology that in Thor: The Dark Dimension has already been subtly incorporated into the Multiverse of the MCU. The nexus was formed in the comics by an ill-thought-through spell spun in the Everglades of Florida, and it became protected by Man-Thing.
Oddly, the comics have also added unique individuals dubbed “Nexus Beings,” who have the power to profoundly mold their dimension. In reality, the Scarlet Witch is one such Nexus Being. However, this is such a deep cut into Marvel mythology because rather than the Nexus Entities, the commercial tends to refer to All Dimensions’ Nexus.
Scarlet Witch Gets A Piece Of Her Own Witchcraft
Agatha Harkness uses her magic to convince Wanda that all along, she was the underdog, the fly in the balm of Westview – and at the same time, she also performs an incredible musical number. But audiences will remember the idea of a witch lifting her hands and invading the mind of a human, their eyes flaring the trademark hue of the sorcery of the sorceress; it’s almost the same effect from Avengers: Age of Ultron when heroes like Tony Stark infiltrated Wanda’s minds. Agatha’s color is purple, not red, possibly indicating that in the eventual tense final battle, audiences would be able to distinguish between the force impacts.
A Dark Book Of Magic
The investigation of Agnes’ basement by Wanda leads her to find what seems to be an ancient shrine, possibly the cornerstone of the Westview nexus. The graphic style is difficult to pin down. Some elements appear to evoke the Florida Everglades historically connected in the comics with the Nexus of All Realities. In contrast, others vividly recall a dimensional plane called the Witches’ Path in the Scarlet Witch run of James Robinson. But a book of dark magic is obviously the most significant piece, stylistically close to Doctor Strange’s Book of Cagliostro or the Iron-Bound Books of Shuma-Gorath and Vathelos the Blind in the comics.
In 1972’s Fear #11, the Nexus of All Worlds was first introduced, with a gateway produced for it when an occult ritual was read from a related banned magic book. The book’s devastation in Fear #11 led to the reversal of much of the reality-warping effects, so this book might well be the MacGuffin of the whole WandaVision series.
