#xander speaking

No hugs

Cons of a ten month quarantine:

(I love this gif and also it describes like a third of my feelings about the show)

Okay so! Everybody else has all these Theories and Speculation based on Background Knowledge but I have never read any of the comics or seen any of the X-Men movies so I have no idea what’s going on there! But I do want to put my thoughts and questions out there anyway

Okay first off, what happened to the beekeeper?? I thought it was important at first but at this point we probably aren’t gonna find out, so like... where is he. Where did he go?? He was standing there and then poof, gone! And it didn’t show him getting yeeted like Monica, so is he just dead?? Did she kill him just for getting into the Hex?????? What happened and why did they not show it

Who was the original missing person in this case? Probably doesn’t matter but I want to know

Obviously we all know something isn’t right with Agnes but I just want to say that I love her. That is all. I don’t care if she’s evil, I love her and I hope nothing bad happens to her

My stupid ass was able to put together the meanings of the commercials before my uncle did and I’m proud of that :)

Why are there no children. I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed before Vision pointed it out but now it’s really creeping me out. Especially with that weird “for the children” thing in episode 2. Are they dead??? Does it have something to do with the “ah, children, you just can’t control them no matter how hard you try” scene? Did Wanda reality-shift them all together into the twins? I think that last one would be too horrifying for the show but idk

The babies stop crying during the “should we do another take” thing with Agnes. The crying stops immediately after she says “do you want me to take that again?” and starts again as she and Wanda are awkwardly laughing it off. Is that significant? I do not know. Maybe it’s just a coincidence

It was fucking weird to see Wanda give a speech on morality and death to her children while knowing that she either resurrected her husband or is puppeting his corpse around (the first one is looking way more likely at this point, thankfully. The corpse would have been like. A million times worse)

Also is it just me or were her facial expressions kind of weird in this episode, particularly that scene? Idk if it’s significant but it was a bit distracting. She’s very pretty though so there’s that

It was so unbelievably weird and kind of scary to see Vision yell like that. He’s never done that before as far as I know, and he’s supposed to be like, perfect and in control and shit, he’s not supposed to have real human emotions and imperfect ways of expressing them, so what the fuck was that?? But at least it’s making me think he’s actually alive and gaining some free will

Additionally the scene with Norm was scary because firstly it just was, like the creepy reading the email thing and the yelling and the panic, it was super scary already AND THEN Vision just. Forced Norm back into the mind control thing!! He knew what was happening, heard how painful and scary it was for Norm, and then just threw him back into it once he got his information. What the fuck Vision. Why would you do that

WHY HASNT ANYONE GOTTEN DOCTOR STRANGE INVOLVED YET??? THIS IS LIKE HIS WHOLE THING!!! Please let the experts help you!!! You are dealing with a crazy(?) woman who can bend reality to whatever she wants and is potentially fucking around with the multiverse, and may be the most powerful being in the universe at this point!! Please just! Ask the wizard for help!!

I am still holding out hope that Wanda is somehow innocent here but it’s looking a little unlikely. My uncle says she’s probably under the control of the devil or something based on his knowledge of the comics but idk

EVERYBODY is talking about the guy at the end and I Don’t Care. I know who he is kinda and I’m sure it’s a big deal but I’m already tired of hearing about it. He’s kinda cute and all but he’s only had like two lines and I can already tell that the way he talks is gonna piss me off the whole time.

Additionally: was it really Wanda who “recast” him????? She really did seem surprised to see him, and surely it’s not a coincidence that like two hours after she tells the twins about her dead brother a version of him just happens to show up at her door.

I don’t think the twins are evil. Weird as hell, sure, and I’m pretty sure they’re behind Pietro appearing, but I don’t think they did it on purpose or with bad intentions. Wanda made it sound like he was alive and said that not being able to see him made her sad; so the twins were like “aw :((( If Only he would show up and make you happy again :))” but probably didn’t actually mean to make it happen. Just kinda subconsciously manipulated the universe to try to make him show up

So then the universe is like “ooooooooooo actually that guy is dead! BUT here is an alternate universe version of him, that’s good enough right?”

Idk maybe they did do it intentionally, we’ll probably be able to tell by their reactions in the next episode

I don’t know what their deal is tbh, and so far I am not a fan

What was up with the medical stuff with Monica? Did Wanda mess up her DNA? Is she a normal human still? Or was it really just a malfunctioning machine?

Please please please do not let Monica die I love her so much. She’s so cool aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
