There have been a lot of retcons regarding those kids over the decades. It also depends if they’re using Mephisto or Nightmare as the villain and how it all ties into Doctor Strange. Vision can’t exist in the real world. Can the kids? We'll have to see how all this plays out. I'm not convinced that Vision is forever confined to The Hex. The big reveal this week that SWORD has been trying to reactivate Vision opens the door for bringing him back to life. It may require some extra effort from Wanda, since she doesn't appear to have attempted to revive him to the extent that would be required outside of The Hex. Vision has been 'killed' several times over the decades. He's synthetic. He can be rebuilt. Considering that Paul Bettany doesn't have anything else going on in his career, I'm sure he'll continue to be available. It seems like a shame to have spent an entire series making Vision more popular than he's ever been, only to kill him off again. |

I meant if they use Mephisto, he could grant Wanda’s wish to keep Vision alive and we know in the comics he’s the real “dad” of the kids. But I don’t know how that’ll play into Doctor Strange. Mephisto fits perfectly into the supernatural and witchcraft elements of the show. But if the plan is to set-up the multiverse, Nightmare makes the most sense since he’s an interdimensional villain. |

I'm not ruling out Mordo's involvement here. We haven't seen/heard from him since Doctor Strange, and he undoubtedly will be in the second film. Being that Wanda is confirmed to be in the next Strange movie, I wouldn't be all that shocked if Mordo popped up.
If we are leading up to a new big baddie, who do we think could be in the role? Theory going around that Al Pacino's meeting with Kevin Feige from years ago could be a possibility. Since Feige tends to have plans for the stories many years in advance, the timing wouldn't be totally crazy.

If we do get one, it should be Doom. As for Pacino, he could be playing Mephisto. He's done it before, after all. |

I think what's going on is a mix of Agnes and Wanda. Agnes might be enhancing something Wanda was trying to but wasn't powerful enough to do. But it will be interesting to see where it goes from there. At any rate, I'm not up to speed on modern sitcoms. Was this one Modern Family? The theme song felt more like The Office, which had the same basic mockumentary format, but Modern Family was the mocumentary sitcom about a suburban family so it kind of fits a bit better. The kids were playing with a Nintendo Wii, so that fits around the same time period. Credits were definitely Happy Endings. |

The next overarching big bad should be Stilt Man.

By the way, was there a reason they skipped right over 90's sitcoms?

Agetha hated Herman's Head so she vaporized the 90s.

The most identifiably "90s" sitcoms are shows like Friends and Seinfeld which are about single people living in cities. |

I said it before I'll say it again, they should have did The Simpsons.

Home Improvement got screwed over. was too centered around the Dad and his work to be a good fit for WandaVision. The fact that so many saw Full House in the 80's episode instead of Family Ties or Growing Pains makes it pretty clear that the producers made the right call in skipping the 90's. That said however, if they'd opted to turn the cast of WandaVision into animatronic Dinosaurs, that would have been amazing. It also would have caused the budget to skyrocket, of course. |

Other than the opening, there was nothing Family Ties about that episode. Growing Pains was also a “dad centric” show. I think the tone of Full House, at the very least, fit with WandaVision. |

Tool Time was a big part of the show and it gave Tim Allen, a stand-up comic, a chance to interact with the studio audience. They also did quite a bit of on-location shooting to give Tim Allen an opportunity to blow shit up. If they had done a Vision-centric 90’s episode, Home Improvement would have been a perfect one. |

I beg to differ. The layout of the house was extremely Family Ties, right down to the stained glass windows. There's also the matter of the babies growing instantly into child actors. Family Ties and Growing Pains both did that. The little girl from Growing Pains would grow up to be the blonde waitress in The Avengers, but that's just a coincidence. |

Disney+ needs to do a sitcom with The Avengers in the style of Friends. Doomsday, get me in there. |
