Seen them. It's pretty much what I thought it was going to be so far. Emma Caufield is a little type cast as kind of the neighborhood bitchy character  (bitchy ain't the right word but I can't think of the right one. |

I'm not a huge fan of 50's and 60's sitcoms so lets get that on the record first. So I thought I would enjoy it to a point with that being what held it back. That being said the first 2 episodes just sets up that aspect of the show. Wanda and Vision are in a 50's/60's sitcom for some reason. With that they are in the trappings of that situation. So you get the corny comedy, over dramatic situations and interactions. In the first 2 episodes there isn't much pushing the why and where they are in a TV Show. There are hints here and there and a few scenes showing that. So as a whole the first 2 epi (1 hour) is just setting up that aspect. For some reason they are in a reality that is a TV show. Something inside that situation is off, but we don't know what. All viewed through a prism of a style of show I don't particularly like. By the end of the 2nd episode they are transitioning to new style. So it's interesting enough that I don't really care about the shitty 50's comedy, so I enjoyed it, but the plots of the first 2 episodes to push the world they are in took up 95% of the time with only 5% of pushing of ok what the fuck is really going on. I could've done with a more 75%/25% split.

So there’s only two episodes available right now? I thought the appeal of this streaming stuff was the binge watch option.

Didn’t Hulu release every episode of the new Animaniacs all at once?

I'm not sure about Animaniacs, but I want to say Hulu might've done it for 11/22/63... I just think now it's not the norm for the services except Netflix.

The entire season was released on November 20. It seems Amazon also did it for the first season of The Boys.

But I won’t pay for DisneyFlix so I’ll have to go watch it at the home of someone who has it. I guess I’ll have to wait a few more weeks. This is the only one of those MCU shows that looks good.

(of the ones that are actually been filming not just announced) I don’t really see the point of Loki. The character was great because he was always evolving. Now his arc is done and he is dead. And they want to do a comedic romp with alternate universe Loki? Seems gratuitous.

I liked the more evil/mischievous Loki over the one he evolved to. I always had a problem with characters/races changing to me more good or more human if they lose some of the reason they were interesting in the first place. Like how it seemed like every Race in Star Trek over the years go more and more to be like Humans. (Klingons and Ferengi the worst of those 2.) And I think with Loki after Avengers that happened to him. I wouldn't mind seeing more of the Avengers minded Loki for a while.

I’d love for them to adapt the “Theft of Mjölnir” myth faithfully. If they do that it’ll reignite some of my interest in the MCU.

From your description, Vassaggo, this actually sounds like my kind of thing, but I don’t have and won’t get Disneyflix, so watching it is out, unfortunately. And now I found out the goddam corporation may not even release its original stuff on disc after the fact, the assholes. |

If the non-release thing comes true then might be your only hope. I can see pros and cons from a corporate perspective of not releasing it on physical media, I think in the end they will.

I used to be against on principle, but—gah, I’m not sure anymore… Anyway, I somewhat feel like I don’t want to watch any of their streaming-online stuff so as not to give Disney the satisfaction. I know, ridiculous, what would they care, but there it is.

I also should point out that no one seems to know on a conscious level that they are in a Sitcom. Well maybe Wanda does on some level. |

Like one long ago poster here used to do. Basically don't be a hypocrite about it. As for streaming, I'm adaptable. To me it's just another way to get content and longer form narratives. Looks like Wandavision is going to be 9 25-30min episodes. So I look at it as a 4hr-4.5hr movie.

I know, ridiculous, what would they care, but there it is. I won’t give another dime to streaming services. I support you in your protest, good sir! I also won’t pirate anything. Not just out of principle, but because I’m too much of a wimp and would fear the consequences, even though I know pretty much nobody ever gets in trouble for it. It’s really a sad future because the ones who break the law are the ones who get to “own” all this content on their own terms. I know you’re not a gamer, but Nintendo is an incredibly anti-consumerist company that limits release on classic titles and typically the only people who get to enjoy their classic games are those who pirate it. I wish Dizney would release WandaVision on physical disc because I would absolutely support it. But as it is now, they aren’t getting my money and I’m not getting access to their shows. Anyway. Rant over.
