Wandavision has left a lot of people with a lot of questions. No one knows what’s going on in Westview, what’s happening with the twins, who are controlling Wanda, how Vision is alive, and so on.
If you’re one of those people who’s showing visible confusion then this is the post for you. Throughout it, we’re gonna be giving our best theories based on the comics whilst also answering what we know so far about the series.
Obviously, there will be heavy spoilers here so if you haven’t seen up to episode 3 then I recommend that you reset right now.
What and Where is Westview?
The biggest question hanging over the series is where exactly is Wanda and what’s going on with Westview.
Episode 3 actually gave us a big reveal in its ending and we discovered that the town was indeed a real location that had been turned into the reality that we see Wanda and Vision living in.
I have read theories that this might all just be a BARF hologram but the fact that the objects are tangible and from the outside, everything seems ok makes me believe that the technology isn’t being used here.
Looking at the promotional images for Episode 4 it’s only upon entering it that things seem to change whereas with BARF you can see it no matter where you look at it.
There was also a clip of the beekeeper character crawling through the membrane and if you looked closely at his clothing you’ll see that it only transforms upon passing through the invisible barrier.
Therefore we can confirm that Westview is now its own thing when you enter Westview things start to change but as far as the rest of the world is concerned, things are ok. This idea of things seeming fine from the outside and being messed up within of course carries over the plot of the show itself but we’ll discuss that later on in the video.
Significance of “Westview”
Now Westview itself has some pretty significant things in the name that make it the perfect location for a show like this. Not only do the initials W and V also stand for Wanda and Vision but the name itself actually has TV in the middle.
It also seems like a suburban town in the middle of nowhere and I actually think one of the latest MCU movies highlights to us what it is exactly that Wanda might be doing.
What is Wanda Doing?
Now I’m someone who habitually always has the MCU on one tv in the house at all times. I’ve binged the movies more times than I can count but it was only with the context of this show that I noticed someone different.
You might remember that Avengers Endgame ends with Steve Rogers travelling back to an alternate 1950s to be with the one that he lost. I’m not crying your crying. This is also very similar to Wanda who travelled to a 1950s reality to be with the person she loved more than anything in the world.
Personally, I believe that when Old Joe Biden Steve showed up at the end eventually the Avengers might have been able to pry open the truth from him and this then inspired Wanda to try something similar.
Who is in Control?
As much as the radio messages from SWORD make it seem like she is the one being manipulated the series itself shows that she’s the one in control. When the beekeeper arrives she easily rewinds time and then when Vision starts to question things she too snaps him out of it, completely derailing his train of thought.
The way she threw Monica out of her reality was nothing short of spellbinding and it’s clear that she’s able to bend and manipulate things at will. All the people in the show seem to be trapped there and Doctor Neilson did discuss how difficult it was to get away. Herb nearly let it slip that they were trapped…I think anyway and Mrs Hart in episode 1 was almost on the verge of tears trying to save her husband whilst remaining in character.
Manipulation
However, that doesn’t mean that she’s not being used and so far the show has laid out several clues to us that the nefarious forces in this reality are aiming to manipulate her to their own ends.
Now though we don’t know this for definite yet, it seems like all signs are pointing towards the people there being after her children and the show looks like it has multiple villains.
Agnes
The first of them is Agnes. I’ve already made a video about who I think she really is which goes into this theory and the evidence in more detail but the long and short of it is that she is likely Agatha Harkness.
Agatha has sort of flipped back and forth over being a villain over the decades but she has helped Wanda enhance her powers. It is possible that in researching ways to get her Peggy Carter ending that she crossed paths with Agatha and she helped her to build this dimension.
In the comics, Agatha actually went to Wanda and Vision when the pair had twins who just so happened to have the names, Billy and Tommy. It was revealed that the pair were actually carrying the souls of demons and I believe that Agnes has ulterior motives for aiding Wanda and that she has actually been warping the reality to subliminally hint to Scarlett Witch that she needs to have kids.
In episode 1 Vision’s boss, Mr Hart nearly had a heart attack asking why the pair didn’t have any kids, the second episode was centred around an event for the children and it all seemed to be driving home the idea that Wanda had to have kids.
We know from the promo of Episode 4 that Agnes calls herself Aunty Agnes and if you cast your mind back to the animated intro of Episode 2 you may have noticed a sign in the supermarket that said Auntie A’s.
So clearly she’s been pushing the idea that they should have children and going off the source material she may want to steal them so she can serve them up to her masters.
Hydra’s Possible Involvement
Now it’s also possible that Agnes is in league with Hydra or someone worse. No not you Dominic Cummings. Exploring the first option, the organisation have popped up at numerous points in the commercials and even so far back as Winter Soldier, they were creating young and powerful people so that they could take over the world.
They could also be after the Infinity Stones too as the Snap showed everyone just how powerful they were. We know from the Mindstone in Visions head that Wanda can indeed create them and if you watch the commercials again with this in mind they could also be subliminally hinting to her and the audience that she needs to rebuild them.
The first commercial had a red flashing light and typically red is associated with the reality stone. The second commercial centred around a watch which could be hinting towards the time stone and the third episode had a blue box which may be the Tesseract.
That could be reaching and obviously by the fourth commercial we’ll have a lot more of an idea.
I believe that they allied with Agnes to get her to make Wanda create the children and infinity stones and from here they’ll be able to rise to power.
We know from the Falcon and The Winter soldier’s first looks that Hydra is indeed in the series due to the Yellow and Green jumpsuits that were showcased in the first trailer and thus it makes sense that they’re back on the rise.
Mephisto
Now Agnes could also be in league with a much darker and sinister figure and that is Mephisto. She’s referred to her husband Ralph so many times in the series but so far we haven’t seen him.
Or so we think.
The name Ralph actually means wolf and Satan himself may have shape-shifted into certain animals to keep a close eye on things. In episode 2 we saw Agnes carrying a rabbit and in episode 3 the Stork made an appearance. The latter was notable because it’s the one thing so far that Wanda hasn’t been able to control in the reality and it seems like something else is going on with it.
Agnes also mentioned in episode 1 that his wedding anniversary was June 2nd and this was actually the date that the Salem Witch Trials took place. Could this mean that on the date that the trials started she pledged her undying love to Lucifer to be kept safe from harm?
Well, I think so and it would also tie in with the demon soul storyline which the show has been influenced.
The show is laced with Satanic imagery and the idea of 666. There was of course the upside-down Cross that was also a SWORD symbol, the tentacles on the Hydra logo appear to also have 666 in them.
Hexagons also pop up at several points in the credits and these have six sides which if you look closely enough will let you know that it’s a reach, yep it’s a reach.
How is Vision Alive?
Now another big question that people likely have is how is Vision alive.
Going back to the Vision and Scarlett Witch Graphic Novel and in that book, The Grim Reaper makes a big appearance.
He can bring people back from the dead and Mephisto and Agnes went to him for help so that they could bring back the thing that she loved to keep her tied to the reality so that they could steal her kids.
His helmet did appear in the opening of Episode 2 and I don’t think that this would’ve been included if it had no significance.
If we look at Agnes’ pendant there appears to be three figure and the one in the middle looks like it could be the classic depiction of the Grim Reaper holding a scythe. So if our theory is right then the three figures could represent her, death and the devil all who have made an allegiance together.
Now as for who Billy and Tommy actually are, as mentioned earlier they were demon soul babies that were meant to usher in generations of darkness that make 2020 look like 1999. Was that a good yeah? I dunno, I was 11, anyway, the point is that they have precedence in the comics to be a certain way however Billy and Tommy is also the name of the children that Wanda and vision had after that saga and they went on to become the Young Avengers Wiccan and Speed.
I believe that the story for both might be combined and after saving the babies, instead of them perishing, they go on to become the two mutants that marvel maniacs absolutely love.
What’s Going on with Geraldine/Monica?
Well after being tossed out of the reality she landed at the SWORD facility and we know from promo shots of episode 4 that she is likely investigating the bubble.
If our theory about Hydra is correct then it makes sense that SWORD would be used instead of SHIELD as we already know that Hydra infiltrated their organisation from the Winter Soldier.
Alongside her is Jimmy Woo played by Randall Park who you may remember from Ant-Man and the Wasp. The last time we saw him he was keeping a close eye on Scott to make sure he didn’t break the Sokovia accords.
Wanda is someone who also did that so it could be possible that after the blip he was assigned to her and then she went into the bubble dimension which forced him to call in the big guns.
In the comics, Monica is a person known as Photon who is blessed with incredible gifts and she is likely going to get these at some point in the show. It’s even possible that after being tossed through the membrane that she’s picked them up but for now we’re just gonna have to wait until Friday.
Anyway, that’s our big theories and all the answers we have so far going off what clues have been left. I’d obviously love to hear your thoughts so make sure you drop them in the comments below.
