Even with the addition of newborns Billy and Tommy, Wanda and Vision are well short of the Bradys’ brood. Still, despite the Maximoff-Vision’s smaller family, this episode is positively steeped in Brady Bunch imagery. That’s likely because it was time for WandaVision to present a ‘70s sitcom aesthetic and there is quite simply no more iconic ‘70s sitcom than The Brady Bunch. Wanda and Vision’s new house is distinctly Brady Brunch, right down to the iconic wide wooden staircase. Wanda’s groovy dress is reminiscent of some Marcia Brady fits in the latter years of the show. Then there’s the fact that this episode even gets a Brady style theme song all about family from composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Bobby Lopez.

You may notice WandaVision is missing one very important element of The Brady Bunch…and that’s the aforementioned “Bunch” in the title. Much of the appeal of Sherwood Schwartz’s classic sitcom was the size of its cast and their chemistry with one another. As anyone who has listened to the show’s catchy theme song can tell you, The Brady Bunch is the story of a lovely lady who was bringing up three very lovely girls and also of a man named Brady who was busy with three boys of his own. When Mike and Carol Brady combine their households, their iconic ranch style home houses nine residents (including the much-needed maid, Alice). Chaos magic is the most powerful form of magic. At the end of WandaVision, Agatha reveals that the Scarlet Witch's magic exceeds that of the Sorcerer Supreme. In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda defeats most of the sorcerers in Kamar-Taj. [63] At the battle at Kamar-Taj, Wanda is able to absorb energy from a cannon that was shot at her. Later, she is able to absorb America Chavez's powers and would have succeeded twice without Doctor Strange's interference. In the MCU, Wanda's chaos magic makes her the most powerful being in her universe.

Monica made her first appearance in 1982, in the Amazing Spider-Man Annual. She was a New Orleans Harbor Patrol officer who gained various superpowers involving the ability to turn herself into X-rays, ultraviolet, infrared and other wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Wanda is first fully introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron as the twin sister of Pietro Maximoff who can engage in hypnosis and telekinesis. [30] [31] Olsen felt Wanda was "overly stimulated" rather than "mentally insane" because "she has such a vast amount of knowledge that she's unable to learn how to control it. No one taught her how to control it properly... she can connect to this world and parallel worlds at the same time, and parallel times". [31] Describing her character's mind control powers, Olsen said that the character is able to do more than manipulating someone's mind, with Scarlet Witch able to "feel and see what they feel and see" by projecting visions that they have never seen. Olsen expanded upon this, saying, "What I love about her is that, in so many superhero films, emotions are kind of negated a bit, but for her everything that someone else could feel—like their weakest moments—she physically goes through that same experience with them, which is pretty cool". [32] Olsen drew on her relationship with her older brother and her sisters to prepare for the role, [31] as well as looking to the comics for inspiration. [33] Olsen revealed that Whedon was inspired by dancers as a way to visually represent how the character moves. As such, Olsen mostly trained with dancer Jennifer White in lieu of traditional stunt training. [34] [35] Toro, Gabe (April 28, 2014).

Instead, it’s a fairly milquetoast role that fills the #37 slot; however, the movie is so damn good, everything is elevated. Winner of the Critics Prize in Venice in 1970, Barbara Loden’s Wanda (1970) was, as the New York Times meekly puts it, “a critical hit but failed to create excitement at the box-office” (New York Times, September 6, 1980, 261).

By hiding the mystery of WandaVision's story within this visual medium, one of its best storytelling devices was costuming. The outfits were at once visual sight gags while also unsettling — after all, when was the last time someone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe wore extreme period clothing? (Outside of Captain America: The First Avenger and the occasional case of time travel, never.) The outfit choices also told Wanda's story while never forgetting her signature red color of the Scarlet Witch. Now that we’re officially the ‘70s era, let’s look into what sitcoms WandaVision is honoring. The Brady Bunch

Melody an original Victoria’s Secret catalog model, then a co-star on Manimal… but it was her role as Dale Arden in Flash Gordon that she’s perhaps best known. From the film Ted (2012): She develops a romantic relationship with Vision until he dies during the conflict with Thanos. After she is restored to life, Wanda becomes mentally unstable and uses her abilities to trap the entire town of Westview in a false reality she creates to her liking. This brings her into conflict with S.W.O.R.D. and Agatha Harkness, causing her to manifest her ancient prophesied identity as the Scarlet Witch. [5] After reluctantly freeing Westview, she absorbs Agatha's abilities and takes possession of the Darkhold, which she later uses to locate alternate reality versions of her children, Billy and Tommy Maximoff, whom she created in the false reality. Corrupted by the Darkhold, she seeks to absorb the multiverse transportation powers of America Chavez, coming into conflict with former ally Stephen Strange. Wanda possesses her counterpart from Earth-838 and massacres the Illuminati until being confronted by the Earth-838 versions of her children. A guilt-ridden Wanda collapses Mount Wundagore on herself and destroys all copies of the Darkhold across the multiverse. Wanda's psionic abilities are due to the exposure to Loki's scepter that contained the Mind Stone. [59] It emanates as an energy projection from her hands and body as a red vapor mist, which she can use her telekinetic abilities to manipulate her natural born chaos magic.
