This article contains spoilers for multiple episodes of WandaVision.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like promised, WandaVision’s<\/em> <\/strong>finale delivered an exciting conclusion to the miniseries rivaling the visual flair of most Marvel movies. Aside from Disney Plus crashing again<\/a> due to WandaVision<\/em><\/a> traffic, the show\u2019s ending will leave fans debating potential problems for similar MCU productions<\/a> in the future, despite arguably delivering a satisfying ending that brings closure in more ways than one.<\/p>\n

All things considered, WandaVision<\/em> did squeeze in a charismatic villain from Agatha Harkness<\/a> that’s likely to return in the future; one evil office dweller in Tyler Hayward that no one will miss; a touching story involving Wanda, Vision and their children; the birth of a new Marvel hero in Monica Rambeau<\/a>; the unmasking of Evan Peters\u2019 \u201cFietro\u201d as Ralph Bohner; and of course, audiences now know what the Scarlet Witch\u2019s final form will look like when she shows up in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If there is one thing fans are starting to accuse WandaVision<\/em> writers of is stringing them along to believe that the show\u2019s finale would somehow be a reveal party for cameos from other MCU heroes or even the X-Men<\/em>. Indeed perhaps one of the best TV moments that came out of WandaVision<\/em> was the fifth episode’s recasting of Wanda\u2019s deceased brother to bring back a notable fan favorite, which paired along with Agatha\/Agnes\u2019 elusive husband Ralph were the two prime sources for elaborate fan theories.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

As early as the show\u2019s second episode keen-eyed viewers were already drawn to Agnes\u2019 evil act when posing as the likable nosy neighbor that complained about her husband. Funnily enough, Agnes\u2019 comments and humor on Ralph changed in tone as the decades passed and her housewife persona did so too, yet the mysterious figure remained hidden from sight, something that had fans theorizing that Ralph could actually be Marvel\u2019s devil himself, Mephisto.<\/p>\n

That was until Pietro Maximoff knocked on Wanda\u2019s door to relieve Agatha Harkness from the pressures of working her evil deeds incognito. As explained by showrunner Jac Schaeffer bringing back Evan Peters<\/a> was never meant to be about fan service, but rather as something that would help the plot move forward instead of dragging it down for one brief \u201cwow!\u201d moment.<\/p>\n

It bears\u00a0reminding that WandaVision<\/em> was never really about big superhero action, exciting cameos, or laughter. As shown in episode eight, WandaVision<\/em>, the Hex, all the neighbors, and Wanda\u2019s family are products of deep grief. It\u2019s all really a nine-episode CT scan of what the Scarlet Witch\u2019s broken heart looked like after being robbed of the man she loves and not even getting the chance to bury him properly. WandaVision<\/em>\u00a0proves that even super-powered individuals can develop post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Wanda\u2019s first encounter with Pietro is shocking, yet nevertheless shortly after it basically the Scarlet Witch starts embracing this new brother that isn\u2019t quite the one she loved and blissfully accepts that this very strange Pietro is indeed the brother she used to have. The audience doesn\u2019t quite know it yet, but Evan Peters\u2019 \u201cFietro\u201d is in fact just as real as Wanda\u2019s own children, Bobby and Tommy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Much in the same way Wanda spends several episodes avoiding having to confront her own very real pain, both Pietro Maximoff and Ralph are there so the audience doesn\u2019t have to come to terms with the fact that WandaVision<\/em> is really not a lot like every other Marvel production that came before it. When Schaeffer said Peters\u2019 wasn\u2019t there for fan service she was right, he was there to misdirect the protagonist and viewers on the show\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\n

That isn\u2019t to say there aren\u2019t plenty of \u201cFietro\u201d easter eggs out there, Ralph Bohner\u2019s mancave is strikingly similar to that of the X-Men\u2019s Quicksilver; his personality is that of Magneto\u2019s son; his hairstyling honors Wolverine<\/a>; and of course, his nephew\u2019s powers are taken straight from that character, making for a great scene when Tommy handles the S.W.O.R.D. squad just like his fake uncle would do in some other dimension.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

And then, it all comes crashing down after Monica Rambeau easily topples the very average Ralph Bohner, reminding audiences that Ralph and Pietro were pretty much jokes all along. Is it disappointing? It might be for some, but having the ability to zoom out from the hex would have allowed many to see that WandaVision<\/em> was a story focused on Wanda\u2019s personal journey.<\/p>\n

WandaVision<\/em> director Matt Shakman had hinted<\/a> that some fans would be let down by the finale, addressing all the crazy fan theories floating around, and if one wasn\u2019t already prepared for Ralph and Pietro to turn out to be so trivial that could be the case. However, the thing is that wasn\u2019t really it, \u201cFietro\u201d is there to help Wanda move closer to coping with reality, while enabling Agatha Harkness to lure Wanda into her trap.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

It\u2019s pure emotional manipulation, right up to the point until Wanda can\u2019t suddenly be manipulated because she\u2019s grown out of the depressive state she\u2019s in. WandaVision<\/em> might have not ended with exciting cameos stitching the show together with Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em> or Doctor Strange sequel, but it does deliver the moment that was teased since the series\u2019 first previews showed a tiny flash of Wanda in full Scarlet Witch attire.<\/p>\n

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> is set<\/a> to solve the mystery of who gets to become the next Captain America, just like WandaVision<\/em> had to explain how does Wanda Maximoff becomes the Scarlet Witch. This might just be an early lesson from Disney, that fans should not be so aggressively focused on the Fietros and Ralphs that show up on the screen, and instead they should zoom out to look at the bigger concept Marvel and Disney are trying to present. The big Marvel fan service might a thing for post-credits<\/a> scenes now.<\/p>\n
