This review contains spoilers for Marvel's WandaVision episodes 3, now available to view on Disney+. To remind yourself of where we left off, check out our WandaVision premiere review. For a spoiler-free look at these first three episodes, please take a look at our WandaVision preview, plus see when WandaVision takes place in the MCU timeline.
Something is very, very wrong in Westview. Thankfully, this means that WandaVision is so very, very on the right path. While episode 3 remains in set-up mode like the chapters before it, this 1970s-set entry finally cracks the sitcom illusion just enough to make WandaVision’s two elements of TV comedy homage and MCU puzzle box feel cohesive rather than disparate. We may be only inches closer to learning more about the show’s mystery, but it’s a mile ahead in terms of making WandaVision feel like a genuine MCU installment.
Much like the two-part premiere, episode 3 delays most of its revelations until the credits are almost ready to roll. But this time they claim more than a fleeting minute of screen time, providing us with something really substantial to chew on until next week. Teyonah Parris’ “Geraldine” (whose real name can be found in previously released casting news, if you’d like to spoil upcoming reveals) being catapulted out of the sitcom reality and into the real world suggests there’s an almost Truman Show element to it all; that Westview is a physical place rather than an imaginary reality, albeit one that may not even be on our plane of existence. Perhaps, considering the confirmed link to Doctor Strange 2, it is a realm within the Multiverse of Madness?
This is the episode that’s likely to convince skeptical fans of its “serious” MCU credentials, then. But for anyone who’s on this ride for the actual comedy, episode 3 still delivers, if not with the same gusto as its predecessor. The ever-changing house is now near enough a shrine to The Brady Bunch, complete with the staircase, while the bright title sequence is a pastiche of the thoroughly “modern” lifestyles of the era. Elizabeth Olsen channels the look of Susan Dey for this incarnation of Wanda, although there's no sign of a Partridge Family-style musical number beyond the catchy theme tune. In fact, straight-up sitcom references and jokes without a strange edge are rare this time around. But Vision attempting to change a doll’s diaper is a great visual gag that helps maintain some balance of the show’s dual identities.
But while there is a balance, it’s undeniable that this episode is less interested in homage. It makes for a few minor drawbacks; a Brady Bunch-like stage feels underserved by a couple who are not yet surrounded by a classroom’s worth of children. This is obviously due to the linear exploration of US sitcom history, and so we can only hope that the relevant decades and shows will more neatly line up with episode concepts in the future. Already, though, it seems that the importance of the homage can take a backseat when the story demands it, which can only be a good thing for ensuring WandaVision’s continued narrative depth.
After an enjoyable premiere burdened by a lot of set-up requirements, episode 3 of WandaVision feels like the real start of its journey. Much of its comedy homage is in visual design and framework concept, which frees the script to begin work on its MCU duties, as well as bring an atypical sense of the surreal to the sitcom. And while the mystery r...
