WandaVision: 5 best moments from “Previously On”
By Liam Clark
3. Wanda’s Interaction with the Mind Stone
Any trip through Wanda’s past would not have been complete without visiting her days as a part of HYDRA’s experiments. As showcased during the post-credits scene of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, both Pietro and Wanda received their powers during their time with HYDRA and contact with the Mind Stone.
However, WandaVision showcases what Wanda’s contact with the Mind Stone actually provided, which was an awakening of her powers. As Agatha Harkness explains, coming into contact with the Infinity Stone essentially activated her unearthly abilities which were dormant and would have likely died without this connection. This rewrites everything we know about the character as it explains that, in spite of what we knew beforehand, Wanda’s powers were not the result of an experiment but were within her all along.
Wanda’s time with the Mind Stone also showed her a glimpse into the future, as the blast from the stone showcased a silhouette of what may be in store for her as the audience is greeted by a glimpse of Wanda in full Scarlet Witch costume, and it looks glorious!
Hopefully by the end of the finale we will get to see the costume in full force, as the tease has left fans yearning to see Wanda don the costume in battle.
