'WandaVision': Will Marvel Persevere & Honor Its Painful Ideas Of Love, Grief & Trauma In The Finale? [The Playlist Podcast]

So, we already know that it was Agatha all along. And we know that Wanda’s unchecked trauma and grief are the reasons behind the Hex and the key to fixing the problems of Westview. But with one episode left, will Marvel follow through with its tale of grief and trauma in “WandaVision” or are we destined for a typical superhero ending? Well, that’s where The Playlist Podcast comes in to save the day. We don’t have any insider knowledge or anything, but we have theories!

That’s right, with Friday’s finale fast approaching, Charles, Mike, and Brian discuss “WandaVision” one more time. And to help The Playlist Podcast hosts discuss Marvel’s series, Playlist Editor-in-Chief, Rodrigo Perez, joins to offer up his own theories and add a bit of gravitas to the discussion. The show dives into the themes of “WandaVision” and comes to the inevitable conclusion that this series is destined for a sad, non-Marvel ending. But will Marvel Studios really follow through with that or is everything going to wrap up in a nice, happy way?

As you might expect, spoilers for the first 8 episodes of “WandaVision” are discussed. So, if you don’t want to hear about White Vision, Agatha Harkness, and the evil of SWORD, then you should have already watched the show, right? But for those wondering how Marvel Studios is possibly going to wrap up the story of Westview and Wanda’s Hex that has engulfed the small town and forced everyone to act out episodes of “The Brady Bunch,” “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” and “Malcolm in the MIddle,” listen to the hosts plus Rodrigo try their best to throw theories out there and try to make sense of it all.
