I recently was able to binge and catch up on the most talked-about Marvel Television series, Wandavision. Which has proven to be one of my favorite new series in 2021 and possibly the best Marvel Television show thus far. So join me on some thoughts and theories about The Hex World of Wandavision.

Wandavision is not your average superhero show, there is a realness to Wandavision and familiarity that the Marvel Universe has lacked. The real human-like emotion of our favorite superheroes and how they handle grief. The audience is entranced by the joyful nature of the first few episodes of Wandavision. With the throwback homages to The Dick Van Dyke Show, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch, Full House, Malcolm in the Middle, and most recently Modern Family.

However, the show begins to shift the audience into a darker and somber feeling of the grief of Wanda Maximoff. After the loss of her love, Vision, in Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame. Wanda steals her lover’s robotic corpse and creates an alternative world where she and Vision could live happily ever after.

But no matter how hard she tries to escape her reality, the world in which she has created begins to deteriorate. Wanda’s mental state worsens as time progress in each episode. Heard in the title sequence as Wanda welcomes the viewer with “Previously on Wandavision,” her tone becomes less joyful. As she faces depression and the realization about losing Vision not once, but twice and most likely a third time. Wanda tries to escape her grief and falls into depression, she is seen medicating herself with “Nexus” anti-depressants to help her cope.

Wanda’s grief makes her vulnerable to threats and those looking to feed off her emotions. One threat is Hayward and his desire to weaponize the corpse of Vision. That he will go as far as causing a nuclear attack to break the Hex World. Secondly is the newly introduced villain, Agatha Harkness (a.k.a Agnes), an immortal witch that has strange ties to Wanda and her children. In the series, Agatha has been controlling elements of Wanda’s world of Westview. Possibly creating her own hex over Wanda with the glimpse of The Darkhold book and her Wundagore Everbloom plants.

Wanda must acknowledge her reality and approach her grief, as these threats may stripe her of everything that she loves and her humanity.
