Figured we should probably have one of these so we don't need to keep putting comments in spoilers.
Anyway, how do you guys feel about the reveals so far? I'm a bit underwhelmed by the villain reveal.

I think Darcy has shown another side to her. She’s not just a set of knockers but also a shapely derrière.

So is Not-shitty Quicksilver out of the show now? I only started watching it for him.
The villain reveal was a copout. Wanda is megalomaniacal sociopath and I'm glad the show had been treating her as such.

Villain reveal was underwhelming, I have to believe she's working for someone else. I doubt the show will turn one of the few MCU superheroines into a villain.

I do hope there's a bigger villain at play. Agatha is such an obscure marvel villain that most marvel fans won't care about. The MCU would be missing out on a great opportunity to bring in bigger villains.

Black Widow Scarlet Witch
Captain Marvel Gamora Sif Valkyrie The Wasp MS. Marvel She-Hulk Nebula Mantis Agent Carter Jane Foster (Lady Thor) Pepper Potts (Rescue) Shuri Okoye Photon Kate Bishop Sue Storm At least 3 Eternals
That's not even counting AOS, Cloak & Dagger, Runaways, Inhumans, and the Netflix shows.

To be fair, Wanda is one of only 3 female lead potentials that the MCU has. Black Widow had the most potential but the MCU wasted it and now her character is dead so that prospect is limited. Captain Marvel was supposed to be the next flagship character but due to her controversial reception I read rumors that the MCU is toning down her promotion... so they instead put their focus on Wanda who's the next most popular female MCU character. The other female heroes you mentioned aren't really big enough to play lead yet. Sometimes it's the actress herself who isn't lead material but more often than not, it's simply that the MCU has not developed their character enough to launch a solo movie yet. So right now only Wanda is a sure shot. The other hopefuls are maybe Valkyrie and Gamora but they will need at least another team movie first before branching out on their own. From the TV side, they already gave Agent Carter a shot and it didn't do too well. Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk are getting their own shows but we have no idea how audiences will react to them. To be honest, I'm surprised they haven't given Daisy Johnson her own show yet. She's easily the most developed and most well-rounded female superhero the MCU has. Definitely one of the most well-received. Very very seldom will you actually hear someone who's watched AoS say something negative about her.

You shouldn't count those shows because they no longer exist and thus are irrelevant to the conversation. And most of them aren't proper 'superheroines' and are at best supporting characters. Sif hasn't been seen in years. I'd put Black Widow and Captain Marvel on Wanda's level in terms of notoriety within the MCU at the moment, maybe Gamora. And they already killed off two of those characters (though they brought one back to life and gave another her own flick posthumously). It's slim pickings for elite level female superheroes, and I don't think Marvel is going to sacrifice yet another one to end this storyline. Maybe the storyline isn't resolved on this show and stretches into the Doctor Strange movie. Maybe Wanda goes nuts while under Agatha's control. But she'll go out a hero even if it kills her.

I assume they used a minor villain so they can kill her off. Though they kill off major villains in the movies anyway so I guess it wouldn't matter if they used a A-list villain.
I don't think Wanda will be a villain. I think they'll make her all better in the end, but she'll also be used to resurrect Vision and Quicksilver.

Well, she started as one and immediately followed it up by blowing up a building full of civilians. She was also okay sacrificing Wakandans to save her sexbot, but that seemed a little less self-aware. In any case, if they're trying to let her off the hook by saying "she created this mind controlled society of slaves but it's okay because only Kathryn Hahn was responsible for the bad stuff', they can keep it.

I meant Agatha is working for someone else, meaning something far worse is responsible for the worst of it, but that doesn't change any of the valid points you made. Honestly the entire series has been underwhelming and unless it ends with a major bombshell reveal, I'm giving it a failing grade. I don't buy into the 'building a mystery without an actual story behind it' method. A show has to be more than just Easter eggs and red herrings. I'm afraid the Loki show will do the same thing; hopefully Hiddleston can make it worth watching compared to this.

The villain they chose is probably just a goon for a bigger villain that this series will help introduce.

I’m so annoyed that Malcolm in the Middle isn’t on Disney+ despite them saying it would be.

Wanda is megalomaniacal sociopath and I'm glad the show had been treating her as such. While I get the Evans Peter Quicksilver love from eagerly excitable frat students, I can't help but find Aaron Johnson's Quicksilver more interesting. I will say that Evan's Quicksilver version is better on Wandavision than he was on the X-Men movies although that's more down to the sorcery and batshit craziness of the show which he fits better into than anything else. Aaron wouldn't have fitted the Tim Burton Stephen King vibe of Wandavision.

So they brought Vision back to life as I thought they would. Hopefully this entire series isn't just to resurrect one person though. Hopefully more happens than just that.

I've been reading the episode plots at Wikipedia, cheaper than Disney+

Boy, that last episode was a bit of a stinker in my opinion. Looked like they ran out of the CGI budget but still had one more episode to shoot.

I'm disappointed this was all just to bring Vison back to life. And then Fake Vision doesn't even tell Wanda that Real Vision is himself again. And where did Real Vision go? Why didn't he try to help Wanda? It seems to me this could have been done in a movie instead of a 9 episode TV show. I'm surprised they didn't resurrect Pietro. I was certain they would.
