Concluding
So, everyone can agree that even us along with the die-hard Marvel fans and critics, though Wanda Vision being a really great experimental show, might not get a warm response due to the fact it was stretching its boundaries far away from the regular superhero story that traditional fans were used to. The Disney Plus show, as quoted by Marvel President Kevin Feige himself, was a unique and out-of-the-box concept that has so far been executed pretty well
Wanda Vision as a show took a huge toll when it decided to go away from their regular superhero tone that Marvel fans are used to. The sitcom impersonation and the recreating the different decades was executed perfectly by the creators, let it be the clothes, the TV format, the classic cheesy jokes that worked brilliantly, and the fourth episode sorting and giving fans a little glimpse into what exactly is happening.

As we noticed from the fourth episode, Wanda Vision has now been taking a darker tone while moving away from the light-hearted sitcom setting and we are quite intrigued to see what is about to take place in the show. So, let’s stay tuned and look forward to what we can expect from Wanda Vision as the show takes a darker turn and reveals more of the secrets of whatever is happening with Wanda in the Marvel’s Wanda Vision streaming now on Disney +.
