I've been reading so many analyses of WandaVision and none of them found half of these references. Your deep expertise is much appreciated. As is the extra-clear speaking tone you reserve for statements like "Wanda and Pietro were raised by a MUTATED COW named BOVA."
If I recall, Bova was in the X-Men animated series, correct? I might be just mixing that up with random High Evolutionary creatures, but I am pretty sure Bova was showcased heavily in some flashbacks ...
I watch multiple episode breakdowns, for each episode (from top folks) ... and yet I still get deeper, more subtle analysis from Comic Tropes in a 15 minute series overview. Amazing stuff!
There was also the Spider-Man villian "SWARM"who is literally a skeleton with a body comprised of bees not that I think that's what's going on there but still you know it's interesting
Great episode, Chris! So awesome to see your production values shoot through the roof this past year. Loved the Steranko episode too. I appreciate you pressing on with this great content despite the hard times and despite the battle with depression. Unfortunately, I know the feeling all too well. Keep it up, brother, I’m loving what you’re doing!
Great episode. You make the most sense of these corresponding instances. That retort, “You must not read the comics.” Is an insult to people, like me, who read these comics when they were published (35 years or more ago). Unfortunately, I don’t have perfect recall and couldn’t remember or couldn’t connect the comics stories to Wandavision when the connection seems faint at best. That doesn’t mean I don’t/ didn’t read the comics.
I really hate the "magneto isn't actually their father" retcon.. They need to stop letting the movies influence the comics, isn't it spouse to be the other way around?! It creates nothing but confusion and ruins decades old relationships.
It wasn't so much that as Marvel really fell out with Fox who had the rights to some of the characters. and didn't want to tomdo anything that would promote them. Fantastic Four comic got outright cancelled, they tried to replace mutants with Inhumans everywhere and the stupid retcon. Despite the fact that things that affected mutants affected the twins previously. Its dumb because comics sell in such tiny numbers compared to other media they have basically zero effect on it.
@@101Mant oh yeah I agree, I said that the People who were harmed the most by that were comic fans. People who read X-men or Fantastic Four are going to see the film's regardless, and if someone picks up an X-Men or a Fantastic Four book because of the movies, that's a bonus right? I never got Marvel's logic behind that, it was probably the stupidest thing they've done in recent memory and they deserve to mocked for it today. As I've said, I think it'll get retconned back and be explained away with Scarlett Witch not wanting to be related to Magneto, it's a Deus ex machina at this point, but I'll take it

1:09 The proof that you don't have to have OCD to enjoy this kind of entertainment. Thanks, Chris, for existing. The MCU is becoming too complex for mainstream, if these D+ series go on, and if they are more like this one, a lot of people will walk away from them (should I say, a lot from those who haven't distanced themselves already after Endgame?)
You’re comic knowledge has given you a clear edge over the other TH-cam commentators. Please do one of these every week - and for all future MARVEL shows!
Excellent video - I’ve watched others about WandaVision and none come as close to explaining things as this one does. Also, I’m digging the animated Kirby-Crackle backgrounds - also appreciate how production value on the show grows every year. Keep up the good work, please!
"thanks for remembering to hit like" haha I actually pressed like mid-video, I love this new Wanda series and the content here is surelly delicious. did I get some light spoilers? yes, but I don't care, that show has mystery but also a really good text.
Marvel has a villain called the Swarm, introduced in mid 1977. He fought first the Champions and later Spider-Man. He is a former Nazi (the story was published in the mid 1970s) that fleed to South America and spent time with beekeeping. We never saw his face in that first storyline, and I assume that we don't see his face in the series either. The origin of his powers was always a bit vague, but his first storyline stated that a key element of them was his access to the queen bee of the literal swarm that composed his body.
Fantastic! Puts to shame those youtubers and pages that started screaming on the last weeks "OHMIGOD YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT WE FOUND IN WANDAVISION!!!!1" and don't even scratch the surface. Thanks, Chris!
august 23 2020 was also the ORIGINAL air date for wandavision, hence the 4th wall break where wanda looks directly at the viewer when talking about the date. you were supposed to be watching the premiere then.
Wow, you can see the budget well spent on the opening sequence. I'm currently enjoying the *"WandaVision"* run and like your synopsis here. UK Marvel fan.👍
Thanks for the episode Chris. I have most of these comics in floppy or trade and have been fascinated by the Wanda/ Vision story for years. Disney, Marvel and Lucasfilm for that matter have been killing it.
The MCU has got it right with their obsessing over small details of the comics and adapting it to fit the big screen. And so far it seems like they have gotten TV right, including the Netflix Marvel universe. This show is heating up🔥
Glad I didn't watch this till after watching series but you were spot on with that bad guy reveal. Very good video. You do a much better job than alot of other similar channels at doing this fast and informative. I hate it when channels get drawn out explaining every minutiae leading to like 40 minutes.
I’m soooo happy your doing this ... YES. With your knowledge, your helping point out this even a modest comic guy like me does not know .. we are able to learn and enjoy all the finer details thanks to you ... I would LOVE more recaps like this for Wandavision and Falcon/ winter Solider.. thx !
This was super cool! I have been digging into some vintage Marvel/Atlas and I have been building lists of comics to read through and I was surprised when you said Ultron upcycled the original Human Torch into Vision. I only recently learned of the old android Human Torch. There is also a Vision in Marvel Mystery Comics #13 from September 1940 that people may want to check out.
Fantastic vid' Chris , your love and knowledge of the comics marks this out from the others covering the show. Please do others - maybe need more than one episode for another vid'?
Really deep dive. What a great video! ! Thanks for putting so much time and effort into researching all the various Easter eggs and character history. I would definitely like to see you do more as the series continues. Thanks Chris!
I really appreciate this video. Ive been so intrigued with wandavision but have been wanting to avoid hardcore speculation videos to avoid any ruined expectations.
Others had the theory that it was baby Wiccan in the womb that was making the mobile turn into butterflies. I guess it depends how big a place the twins take. But anyway, dude you are amazing. This is THE best deep dive into the lore of WandaVision, bar none. I'm gonna tell other channels covering WV to watch this.
Could it be that mutants have always been there but after the events of Infinity War Wanda made everyone(including the audience) forget about mutants and now after Wandavision we will all remember?
i love how the marvel movie/tv writers are clearly familiar with the entire back story in the comics. they are obviously allowed to pick and choose, and they are careful to not grant the characters qualities that are anathema to their comics reality (like superman going back in time...AHEM). i never know how it will play out, but i love feeling like this is a sincered addition to the mythology of the characters, building on their past creatively. its in the spirit of Watchmen, where Alan Moore took a completely fresh look at the genre, critiquing it but not violating the, how shall i put, TROPES. yes, expectations can be subverted. but there is a limit to that, and the writers seem to really get how far they can go.
Can I just butt in here and say - as a Greek linguist - that CHthon is pronounced like the CH in character as it is an approximation of the greek Χ - from the green word ΧΘΩΝ meaning underworld - so closer to K-THON, as opposed to a soft ch like in cheers. Great vid!
I finally got around to watching your video covering the comic influences of Wandavision and I must say, there are quite a bit that you pointed out that I don’t think even the show breakdown channels even covered. Even with all the minutiae that those channels found, they seem a bit half-assed compared to yours in hindsight.

That was seriously amazing, I knew about Bova but had completely missed the ad poster in the animation. Beautiful deep cut!
If I recall, Bova was in the X-Men animated series, correct?
I might be just mixing that up with random High Evolutionary creatures, but I am pretty sure Bova was showcased heavily in some flashbacks ...
"Oh, hi. You've caught me doing a voice over"
LMAO
I worked on WandaVision from preproduction to post. Always cool to see people react to what was maybe the funniest shoot of my career
I watch multiple episode breakdowns, for each episode (from top folks) ... and yet I still get deeper, more subtle analysis from Comic Tropes in a 15 minute series overview. Amazing stuff!
Excellent job dude - hope YT sends this to the trending page!
"Hi, you caught me knowing who Glamour and Illusion were in the comics when every other TH-camr just shrugged."
Wandavision made the avengers west coast comics from the late 80s revelant again, i love it!
There was also the Spider-Man villian "SWARM"who is literally a skeleton with a body comprised of bees not that I think that's what's going on there but still you know it's interesting
Wasn't he also a Nazi? It's unlikely but it could be a Hydra link
Its not swarm...
@@jesusramirezromo2037 no shit Did you Evan read.m comment
Yes, please do make more episodes about WandaVision as the show develops!
Great episode, Chris! So awesome to see your production values shoot through the roof this past year. Loved the Steranko episode too.

This was one of the best videos I’ve seen analyzing, the comics to see all the inspiration
I haven"t started the show yet but I am super excited to see Emma Caufield's mug again. She's a delight.
Great episode. You make the most sense of these corresponding instances.

They need to stop letting the movies influence the comics, isn't it spouse to be the other way around?!
It creates nothing but confusion and ruins decades old relationships.
I think that was because Marvel didn't have the X-Men movies at the time.
I think she'll return back to being Wanda's daughter.
It wasn't so much that as Marvel really fell out with Fox who had the rights to some of the characters. and didn't want to tomdo anything that would promote them.

I find funny everyone immediately called bullshit when the comic came out and just assumed that Wanda was fucking with reality yet again
@@simonmacconmidhe9489 A. That's not what White Washing is.
B. As someone who has seen a lot of foreign films, I can tell you that America is a lot more diverse than you think.
I wasn't sure how the show would play but I'm really happy with it so far.
I appreciate your in-depth analysis and encyclopedic knowledge of comics.
This is the kind of content no one else seems to cover in any kind of detail. Thank you, sir!
The only show that I can compare WandaVision to is Legion and I love Legion.
this is giving me some "The Prisoner" vibes, and that is all right with me.
1:09 The proof that you don't have to have OCD to enjoy this kind of entertainment. Thanks, Chris, for existing.

You were 100% right about Agatha
From one classic
comic collector to another
Chris your Wandavision breakdown was ..Hexcellent✨
Well, you were spot on about Agnes! Great video!
Who else noticed that woo finally learned the card trick from antman and the wasp 😉
You’re comic knowledge has given you a clear edge over the other TH-cam commentators. Please do one of these every week - and for all future MARVEL shows!
Lots of good info! I'm glad that you're tackling this because I trust you to catch A LOT more than me.

The beekeeper suit was also a nod (to me at least) to the classic yellow AIM suits. They were regularly referred to as “beekeeper outfits”.
Dr Strange’s speech in Avengers Disassembled #4 tells you everything you need to know about what’s up with Wanda.
Kevin Feige is like: "Okay, what if we do House of M but in reverse?"
Amazing how much you guessed correctly so early on.
Excellent video - I’ve watched others about WandaVision and none come as close to explaining things as this one does. Also, I’m digging the animated Kirby-Crackle backgrounds - also appreciate how production value on the show grows every year. Keep up the good work, please!
It's always fun when adaptations make references about the source materials.
Personally I thought the bee keeper imagery and the Hive hexagons were a reference to AIM
Finally found my way back to this channel after a long break from comics, and just wanted to say I really dig the intro.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Incredible research and explanations. Well done! I thought I knew comics but you dropped some gems I was never aware of.
I highly doubt we'll see Pandemonium with two kids for arms, but it'd be cool.
I really hope you keep doing these videos for the rest of the series! It’s nice to see all the little details they include.
"thanks for remembering to hit like"

Well done. You put a lot of work into this. Most of this went right over my head when watching the show.
august 23 2020 was also the ORIGINAL air date for wandavision, hence the 4th wall break where wanda looks directly at the viewer when talking about the date. you were supposed to be watching the premiere then.
The ending of Episode 5 leads me to believe that mutants are indeed coming back!
Would love to see this continue with WandaVision and the following Disney+ Marvel series' Great Job!
Wow, you can see the budget well spent on the opening sequence. I'm currently enjoying the *"WandaVision"* run and like your synopsis here. UK Marvel fan.👍
I think it's the first time I notice the Kirby Dots in the BG. Nice!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the episode Chris. I have most of these comics in floppy or trade and have been fascinated by the Wanda/ Vision story for years. Disney, Marvel and Lucasfilm for that matter have been killing it.
Great theory. I like the Arcana angle and I think you're spot on.
Love hearing you break these down bit by bit, please keep these up!!!
*PLEASE do more episodes like this one!* I have seen other analysis from other comic youtubers and didn't mention most of your references.
Wow! This video is a real deep dive into the comics references! Great job once again!
Yes please, more about Wandavision, and any other MCU Dis+ stuff that comes out. I dig it.
The MCU has got it right with their obsessing over small details of the comics and adapting it to fit the big screen. And so far it seems like they have gotten TV right, including the Netflix Marvel universe. This show is heating up🔥
it has become more than obvious that all these references are just distractions for the lore hounds and detail obsessed. love it!
Yes! Thanks for making this, Chris!
This was AMAZZZZZING. Really makes me appreciate the show a lot more...
That said, please do another of these!
Another fantastic video. By far the best breakdown i've seen of Wandavision! Keep up the good work!
The name of the show " wandavision " hints to the possiblity that this world is created, " made " by wanda
I've really been enjoying this series so far.

Great video, way better than most who talk about the show, keep doing it! :D
I’ve been behind with your material (sorry!) but wow that intro is fantastic! You’ve outdone yourself yet again!
Would love to see you cover the rest of the episodes, and then eventually The Falcon & Winter Soldier, M.O.D.O.K., Loki, What If ... and so on❣️
Man... I can’t wait for you to do the rest of the episodes
Wow, talk about a deep dive, good job Chris 👍
Incredibly well researched episode. Well done!
Another great episode!! Always enjoy your channel!!
Insane observations and theories! Would love to see you continue with the future episodes! Stellar video as always, thanks!
Great video! I didn't notice Vision's superspeed being new!
The 23rd is also the date InfinityWar came out & was the day Vision died in the MCU.
Except that date only applies to a certain region as release dates for movies vary between countries/regions
Thank you so much for these notes... I thought I'd caught a lot, but you have pointed out so many other possible clues.
Dig the new intro! Cool animation, awesome! Keep up the good work, love the channel! Cheers, oi!
Good stuff. Really enjoyed that breakdown
Just wanted to say this is ne of
My fav channels thanks Chris,🤟
Wow, talk about a deep dive. Superb research!
Looking forward for the one covering the rest of the episodes!
Another fantastic episode! Thanks Chris
Great format and a refreshing style! Well done as usual Chris thanks for this quality content.
Great video, Chris! I wouldn't mind seeing a Part 2 in this style, once the season/show is over.
i love how the marvel movie/tv writers are clearly familiar with the entire back story in the comics. they are obviously allowed to pick and choose, and they are careful to not grant the characters qualities that are anathema to their comics reality (like superman going back in time...AHEM). i never know how it will play out, but i love feeling like this is a sincered addition to the mythology of the characters, building on their past creatively. its in the spirit of Watchmen, where Alan Moore took a completely fresh look at the genre, critiquing it but not violating the, how shall i put, TROPES. yes, expectations can be subverted. but there is a limit to that, and the writers seem to really get how far they can go.
Awww I miss your last theme song! Had the most badass bass line. Hope you bring it back from time to time.
Wow....amazing work Chris!!!!
This was AMAZING!!!!!! you blow my.mind!!!!!! Great video!!!
Can I just butt in here and say - as a Greek linguist - that CHthon is pronounced like the CH in character as it is an approximation of the greek Χ - from the green word ΧΘΩΝ meaning underworld - so closer to K-THON, as opposed to a soft ch like in cheers.
