5 best moments from WandaVision in 2021
By Mark Lynch
4. Monica Rambeau gets powers
Every Marvel Comics fan knew this was coming. Monica Rambeau wouldn’t go the entire series without getting her powers, especially with The Marvels on its way. All fans wanted was for the reveal of her abilities to look cool. There was no disappointment of the reveal or the look. Most of that can be attributed to Teyonah Parris.
Parris made each moment work. When Monica was shot, there was a mixture of anger and shock. An emotion anyone would be feeling at the time. This was the right way to get her momentum going into the next phase of her story.
When she first obtained her powers when breaking through the barrier, her eyes glowed a bright blue. Later, when she was getting shot, they were yellow. This let Marvel Comics fans know that we’d be getting a comic-accurate depiction of Monica. Her powers are vast, so the looks should be as well. Something that has to be noted.
3. The Scarlet Witch revealed
Anyone who knew Wanda Maximoff from the comics was waiting for this moment. All of her teammates usually called her Wanda all of the time. She was the Scarlet Witch in the field, but it was a name that was never used. That didn’t mean fans were eager to see her become the Scarlet Witch on the show.
When she overpowered Agatha in WandaVision, her clothing slowly changed. When the magic and energy cleared up, it was official: Wanda Maximoff had become the Scarlet Witch.
The reveal was only part of what made the Scarlet Witch’s debut great. Agatha mentioned that the Scarlet Witch is more powerful than the Sorcerer Supreme. We might even see her and Doctor Strange battle in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and that’s very exciting. Which leads to the next moment…
