Don’t know about y’all but I’m still waiting for a moment where Pietro Maximoff is brought up again, leading to him actually entering the scene like a major guest star appearing on a sitcom.
And then he’ll say, “…you didn’t see that coming!”, followed by the live studio audience cheering wildly.
I genuinely don’t want WandaVision to have a plot like, obviously they will and I’ll probably like it but I would 100% take twelve seasons of a show that’s just about the witch and her robot husband fumbling through sitcom tropes with outdated, cheap humor and a laugh track
As someone who is absolutely obsessed with vintage it makes me so happy that they consulted Dick Van Dyke for WandaVision to make the vintage sitcom scenes more accurate
Am I the only one who would be content just watching Wanda and Vision just living happily together forever with their shenanigans and hijinks without anything sinister in the background?
something i enjoy abt wandavision is how the camera movement helps sell the horror sequences
most of the time, the show slavishly recreates the look and feel of old-school multi-camera sitcoms, from the set design, to the cheap sfx, to the humor, to even the way the actors speak in the first episode like they’re projecting to a studio audience. this includes the way it’s shot. the camera never moves, pans, or zooms, it just cuts to a different angle when necessary. the camera is fixed, rock-steady.
except in the parts where something is obviously wrong. when the fantasy breaks. then the camera traces the characters’ movement, it pushes in and pulls out, it slowly whirls around and tilts and focuses in a way that sitcom cameras just aren’t supposed to do. it feels wrong, especially if you have even a passing familiarity with the shows wandavision is emulating. the camera breaking free of its fixed position feels like a fundamental violation of the rules of the world it operates in, an intrusion from another time period. it’s jarring and disorienting and really helps to underscore the eerieness of those parts.
