There's something ominous and telling about the tiny red light and the beeping sound it's accompanied by. The toaster is made by Stark Industries, the series' first connection to the larger MCU. WandaVision episode 1 is interrupted midway through by a fake commercial about a toaster called ToastMate 2000. Except they are still pretending they know what the night is really about (oh no). A nervous Vision rings Wanda to stress on the importance of tonight going well. Hart stresses on the importance of the dinner going well, pointing out how the last employee to disappoint him - despite having five courses, a string quartet for entertainment, and wearing a turtleneck (oh no) - has been fired. There was a heart on the calendar (ha ha, wordplay). Hart reminds Vision about the dinner, and Vision connects the dots to believe that the special event tonight must be a dinner party with the Harts. Hart (Fred Melamed) walks in, sending everyone scurrying to their desks. Vision, who's trying his best to hide his true identity, replies immediately: “I most certainly am not.” He later wonders what the company does - do they make something? do they buy or sell something? no, no, and no - in what comes across as a jab at capitalism and how employees feel like they have no greater purpose. A colleague Norm (Asif Ali) remarks at his speed after he's done, noting that productivity has gone up 300 percent since he arrived and calls him a “walking computer”. Meanwhile, at Computational Services Inc., Vision is typing away at superhuman speeds. Kathryn Hahn as Agnes in WandaVision episode 1 Agnes then volunteers to help Wanda prepare for the special night. Wanda can't recall the real thing anyway. Wanda assures Agnes that she's very much married, to a man (these are the ‘50s after all) - a human one at that (ha ha Vision is android, get it?).Īfter Wanda reveals that tonight in a special night for the couple, Agnes probes further before the two settle at “anniversary” as the answer. There's no ring on Wanda's finger, you see. Agnes is curious about who she is, how she moved in so quickly (“Did you use a moving company?” “Yes of course, the boxes sure didn't move themselves”), and what a “single gal” like her is doing in a town like this. “My right, not yours,” she adds with a chuckle. She opens it to find Agnes (Kathryn Hahn), their neighbour on the right. Wanda is startled soon after by repeated knocks on the front door. Having kissed and found solace in tonight being special for them both, Vision then leaves for work. Inside WandaVision, Marvel's Love Letter to Classic Sitcoms Could they be the same person? Is Wanda merely imagining Vision's existence? She's capable of it, after all. Their memory lapses are shared, and when one of them struggles to remember, both of them are at the same moment. Apart from the whole being in the fifties and Vision being alive business, of course. This is the first sign in WandaVision that something is amiss. Not wanting to be labelled the forgetful one, they both pretend that they know.
It's clearly a special date for the couple, but the two of them can't begin to recall what it really is. Vision then notices that a heart-shaped symbol has been drawn next to today's date on the calendar in the kitchen. Wanda is telekinetic and can put broken things back together, and Vision has an indestructible head. WandaVision episode 1 isn't interested in explaining any of that, though it does introduce their respective powers for viewers to whom the characters might be all new. They're married! Wait, what? Also, how is Vision still around? He died in Avengers: Infinity War - twice in fact.
Wanda is wearing a white gown and there's a “just married” sign on the back of their car. The 22-minute WandaVision episode 1 - directed by Matt Shakman and written by Jac Schaeffer - opens with Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) driving into a suburban American town called Westview.

It seems more like a stage play than a TV episode. It's got those silly jokes that you associate with old-timey sitcoms too, delivered with the kind of pauses and background sounds you would expect from a theatrical production. The entire episode is modelled after a Hollywood Golden Age sitcom, from the 1950s, replete in black-and-white, a near-square aspect ratio, and a live studio audience, actually. WandaVision episode 1 is out now, ending our 18-month wait for new MCU content, but this isn't the Marvel that we remember from Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home.
