WANDAVISION Updated Post Credits Scene Explained: Full Ending Breakdown And Why It’s DEFINITELY Mephisto

L

Last night Marvel Maniacs noticed that there’d been a strange new update to the post-credits scene of the Wandavision finale.

Episode 9 ends with Wanda Maximoff out at what may or may not be Wundagore mountain. In the original scene, we watched as she sat sipping some tea after successfully ruining the lives of an entire town and getting away with it Scott-free. Yaaay.

Wanda had gained the Darkhold and as she walked around outside of the cabin we saw that inside her astral projection was reading through the book. The theme turn of Doctor Strange then started to seep in and we heard the voices of her children calling out to her.

Now there is a slight update to the scene and throughout this, we’re gonna be breaking down the differences and possibilities of what could be going on. It might be absolutely nothing like my entire existence but there has been a clear change that I think does kinda highlight some little key things.

What Has Changed?

Ok so firstly I think that we have to look at the original post-credits scene so we can first establish what’s changed.

This video is gonna be a bit like playing spot the difference on a pub quiz machine when you’re 15 levels deep but there are some minor changes.

Opening Shot – New Trees 

Now the first shot has us flying in and continuing on this path until we reach the cabin.

This is definitely how the original looks as I torren….I mean…had a friend who works at Disney that gave me a copy of the episode so I could edit my finale breakdown for it.

Nothing really going on here out of the ordinary.

However, jump forward to this month and when we zoom in you might notice that there are some extra trees around the area.

If you look at the be looking on the left-hand side of the image, you can see that there are completely different shrubs there…is shrub the word…I dunno.

So clearly the area has been changed digitally and someone has just gone wild with the clone tool.

Now why this likely is is because this is going to link in with Doctor Strange and The Multiverse Of Madness. From what I know of behind-the-scenes stuff on the production, Wanda is the villain in it and the reason that they’ve changed this is likely to line things up a lot more with that movie.

If Youtube has taught us anything it’s that people love correction tiny mistakes and no doubt if the scenery looked different people would have pointed it out.

Also, I said correction there instead of correcting just to see if you would point it out and you either fell for it or you didn’t. But you’re still a sucker.

Credits

Now the tie-in with Doctor Strange has been hammered home by a strange floating figure that can be seen in the scene as well as an addition to the credits in which the composer of Doctor Strange’s theme has been credited.

Blurred Figure 

Jump into the third new detail in the scene and take a look at the trees and you might notice that a strange blurred figure is descending down towards the cabin.

Let’s view that zoomed in and you can see it a lot clearer here. It looks like a pointed figure perhaps where a cape or cloak.

It definitely stands out against the backdrop and though it looks like the predator is swooping in to kill Wanda there are a number of things that it could be.

Doctor Strange 

Now firstly if it is tied into Doctor Strange then this could definitely be the character swooping in to see what is going on with Wanda. If you’ve ever read the graphic novel house of M then you’ll know he was a paramount character in it when it came to fighting Wanda.

In the book, Wanda had created a false reality and after the heroes snapped out of it they went to confront her face to face.

This figure seems to be moving in this direction and several months after the release of Wandavision we learned from Kevin Feige that Doctor Strange was originally meant to be in the show.

Fiege said that the commercials we saw were actually Strange reaching into the hex in order to try and snap Wanda out of it and this is why they pulled from certain things in her life.

It’s a shame that the scenes were scrapped as it would’ve tied a lot more into the upcoming movie but who knows, Marvel might be cheeky and patch update their post-credits scenes like some lazy game developer.

The Devil

Now another possibility is that it’s the devil himself…

However on top of this if this is indeed set at Wundergore mountain then it could be Chthon, the chaos God that actually created the Darkhold. Interestingly he ended up possessing the body of Quicksilver in the comics and for a long time…well like two weeks or so, there were a lot of people that thought Ralph Bohner may be him.

Ha…Bohner.

Vision

Anyway, the third possibility is that it is Vision.

The season ended had a big moment in which the Hex version of Vision ended up passing on his memory and personality to the repurposed death bot that Hayward had built in order to provide a line of security for the planet.

Wandavision was full of hexes and in the show Vision actually broke out of an octagonal shape at the end. These tend to hold a lot of meaning and symbolically whilst a hexagon means to hold something trapped, an octagon means to free something.

Now we have no idea what happened to Vision or where he went off to but he likely wanted to learn about what happened to him and this would likely send him across the planet in search of what’s been going in in the five years since his death.

The last thing he knew was that Wanda killed him to destroy the mind stone and the character would still be in love with her.

So, finding out that she was here would probably send him out there to rekindle their romance so that she could get it on with a toaster once more instead of spending all day making that kettle.

Well, something’s gotta be making that tea and I don’t see any electrical poles out there.

Do you!

Do you!

Well, maybe you should be doing the breakdowns then.

GCI Blip

Now lastly this could be absolutely nothing and it may just be a CGI artefact that has been left in the final edit.

When you’re rendering stuff something bugs and glitches happen that mean weird effects get laid over video and I have to say that this thing doesn’t alter or change in size the closer that we get which is what would happen if it was truly something important.

Therefore it may just be a glitch but it does seem weird that they would look over a clip containing this and still decide to upload it in place of a scene that was absolutely fine in the first place.

Why Change It?

Now stepping back and looking at everything this has clearly been put in place to tie in more with Doctor Strange In The multiverse Of Madness which is likely gonna be the next film featuring Wanda.

It’s interesting that they’ve done this and no doubt fans will now be on the lookout for the most minor of changes in post-credits scenes. Maybe we will even get an updated Falcon and The Winter Soldier one that explains who’s on the other end of the phone or maybe this entire video was just a reach trying to cash in on the latest talking point in the MCU.

I’ll let you be the judge of that one you sucker but in the meantime, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it so make sure you comment below and let me know.
