#END OF WANDAVISION EPISODE 9 SERIES#

Last week’s episode got a lot of love for its writing about grief and loss, but the real heartbreak is saved for the final moments of the series as Wanda finally says goodbye to Vision, to her kids, and to the dream of a life she never got to live. Or so Agatha thinks… not realising that Wanda has been skywriting magic witch runes on the ceiling of the Hex to turn the whole town into a prison.Īgatha defeated (trapped back in the role of the nosy neighbour), and Wanda now officially wearing the red horns of Scarlet Witch, all that’s left to do is say goodbye. It turns out the evil-looking witch book in Agatha’s dungeon was The Darkhold (aka The Book Of Sins, The Book Of The Damned and a mythic comic relic of such dark power that it’s sure to drive the entire next phase of the MCU) and Scarlet Witch is destined to destroy the world with a power “exceeding that of the Sorcerer Supreme” (aka Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange).ĭarcy (Kat Dennings) shows up to take out Hayward in an ice-cream truck, but no one really cares about him anymore as Wanda and Agatha step things up in the sky above – Wanda pouring all of her hate and grief into the fight, trading the fate of humanity for more chance of happiness with her fake family. True to Bettany’s word, his scenes with himself are seriously impressive – whether firing glowy forehead beams at each other as they rip half the town apart or trying to outwit their other selves in a debate about identity metaphysics.Įlsewhere, Kathryn Hahn and Elizabeth Olsen also get their best scenes together as they break up the destructive magic bouts with teary monologues.

And so the fight for Westview begins – with the two witches and the two Visions having separate sky fights while everyone tries to dodge the fallout below.

“This is awkward,” cackles Agatha, “Your ex and your new boyfriend at the same party!”. White Vision turns up and starts squeezing Wanda’s head, right before Red Vision bats him into a camper van. Hayward (Josh Stamberg) has Jimmy (Randall Park) in handcuffs. Monica (Teyonah Parris) is trapped in fake Pietro’s (Evan Peters) man cave watching Steven Seagal movies. Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) has Wanda’s kids by the throat and she’s goading Scarlet Witch (as she’s now called) into fighting so she can sponge all of her powers. CREDIT: Marvel StudiosĮverything has been building up to this point. Vision (Paul Bettany) and Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen). Sticking to the grand Marvel tradition of ending things with a bang, episode nine packs more fireworks into its 50-minute runtime than most blockbuster movies – and it does it alongside one of the most sensitively written emotional dramas in the MCU. Bettany might have been trolling the fanbase with rumours of another big-name cameo, but he still shares most of his best scenes in the WandaVision finale with someone… himself. We have some amazing scenes together, and the chemistry between us is extraordinary, and it was just fireworks on set.” He wasn’t wrong. “It’s an actor I’ve longed to work with all of my life. “There is one character that has not been revealed and it is very exciting,” Paul Bettany aka Vision told Esquire recently.
