WandaVision, after a year without a Marvel movie, is imminent. The Disney+ original series is that the first TV produced by Marvel Studios. The studio is liable for carefully crafting the Marvel Cinematic Universe on the large screen over the last decade.
And with WandaVision set to premiere on Disney+ on Friday, January 15th, the primary reactions to the show’s first few episodes have arrived online courtesy of critics and press that got early access.
WandaVision takes place after Avengers’ events: Endgame and stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany as Vision. Those wondering how Vision remains alive as long as he was very, very not-alive in Avengers: Endgame. Well, Wanda may have those questions too.
Marvel has kept a reasonably tight lid on the plot. It specifics except to mention that Wanda and Vision live a quiet suburban life within the town of Westview once they begin to suspect things aren’t as they appear.
However, WandaVision can pay homage to iconic television shows throughout history. However, as a director Matt Shakman (who helmed every episode) crafts specific episodes as if they were made in certain time periods.
So we’ll see Wanda and Vision as a marriage within the 1950s fans like the Lucy-Esque setting and as homages to shows just like the Brady Bunch, poker hand, and even The Office.
This is the start of a replacement era for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It will play out on the tiny screen and, therefore, the big screen simultaneously. In contrast to past Marvel shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Daredevil. Kevin Feige is producing these new shows.
Their storylines are mapped out right alongside the overarching storyline that will play call at movies like Eternals, Doctor Strange and Black Widow within the Multiverse of Madness.

a lot of people asked me about the length of the #WandaVision episodes. The first 3 episodes are about 1 hr 30 min. I think the episodes get longer as we get further into the series. pic.twitter.com/DMH0C5foso

I’ve watched THREE episodes of #WandaVision and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Truly unlike anything Marvel Studios has done — it’s light, funny & fully committed to its retro sitcom inspirations, but it also carefully sprinkles in enough mystery & intrigue to keep you guessing pic.twitter.com/8dqegsg5By

Watched 3 episodes of #WandaVision and the show is weird as hell (in a good way).
Two things are clear. 1) Marvel is dedicated to parodying classic sitcoms and 2) the MCU is finally back!
Can’t wait to see how this show sets up Doctor Strange 2 and Spider-Man 3 👀 pic.twitter.com/nR6rTShfOY

Elizabeth Olsen & Paul Bettany are tremendous together in #WandaVision. Their chemistry comes through brilliantly and they are a blast to watch. Bettany is especially having a good time & it shows.
There is so much heart, fun, mystery, and darkness between #Wanda and #TheVision. pic.twitter.com/GCIJKBvB73

#WandaVision is definitely one of the most ambitious endeavors from Marvel Studios. Filled with easter eggs and extremely smart in the way it uses the sitcom format to subvert expectations. Those expecting more of the same will be thrown for a loop in the best possible way. pic.twitter.com/FMpdfztYKQ

#WandaVision is nothing short of BRILLIANT. EASILY the MCU's boldest, most original & innovative venture thus far. The true genius comes from Jac Schaeffer's smart, sharp, witty, script & Bettany & Olsen's electric performances. I had the biggest smile on my face the whole time. pic.twitter.com/exu8m5Dtp9

We knew #WandaVision was going to offer a much different view of the MCU, and boy does it. Much of the sitcom setup of the show makes the reality of the situation moments incredibly tense and gripping.

I’ve seen the first three episodes of #WandaVision and man is it my jam. If you fret that all superhero stories can feel the same, here is big proof otherwise. I found it delightfully trippy and intriguing. I love what I’ve seen so far and can’t wait to see the entire season.

Have seen the first 3 episodes of #Wandavision and *LOVE* how big of a swing @MarvelStudios is taking with the series. The reason the #MCU is king of the hill is @Kevfeige’s amazing leadership and willingness to take risks like what you'll see in 'Wandavision'. pic.twitter.com/EgUUUxXudh
