Wandavision

I got an ask over at Tumblr and that spurred me to organize my thoughts on the series:

(Tumblr part one: stuff I liked)

(Tumblr part two: that big problem)

Reproduced here:

I have watched Wandavision and I’m honestly still deciding what my reaction is. Or, rather, I’m still deciding what to do about my reaction. Which is why I’m splitting up my response into two parts because there’s a lot of smaller stuff I would like to address and the Giant Honking Problem that deserves its own post.

[Your estimation of my pop culture knowledge is greatly overstated, for the record. It’s fairly comprehensive to a point and then spotty beyond because when Wandavision hit the 1990s I was lost. I’ve never seen a minute of either Malcolm in the Middle or Modern Family and would not have even known that those were the shows they were riffing on if I hadn’t seen it explained elsewhere.]

If you’d asked me before the finale what I thought, I would have had a very different reaction and tone than I do now. For the record, I watched Ep.1-4 and then 5-8 in separate binges and then the finale on its own.
