      I saw someone comment that Wanda started out as this radicalized Eastern European teenager who despised American capitalism so it's a contradiction that she seems obsessed with US TV And I'm like You haven't met many people fitting that description have youhttps://twitter.com/jeannette_ng/status/1358066774609178624 …

      That fiction is a balm, a drug, an illusion, a cure, a disease. All at the same time. That mythology and mirrors are that. It's an intoxicating mix. But I can't look at it too long. Back to the oh yes, commentary on the artificiality of American suburbs, excellent.

      Foreigners who hate America and yet had their childhood profoundly shaped by American pop culture are extremely common These two traits go together, in fact they feed each other constantly

      Sure, Wanda and Pietro had a much more specific and salient reason to hate America But in general a lot of anti-American resentment stays raw, on an emotional level, just from global pop culture constantly reminding you you're in the margins and the US is in the center

      America had far worse sins in the 90s than making everyone in the world have to know the "Whassup" meme and the lyrics to "I Want It That Way" of course But that's what rubs it in

          Just as everyone in the world knows who the US President but many Americans don't know a single foreign leader Knowing that Star Wars and Marvel Comics and The Simpsons are more important to everyone in the world - *including you* - than anything your own country ever made

          Anyway the whole love/hate thing is core to WandaVision The whole point is that from the beginning this paradise is alluring but also repulsive It's sexist, it's corny, it's regressive, it's stiflingly flat and conformist and fake

          It's everything part of you despises about American culture while another guilty part of you longs for it You despise it *because* you long for it and you long for it because you despise it

          That's just how it feels for Americans, for foreigners plugged into this stuff it's amplified 1000%

          I had a prof in college who came from Argentina and said that as a radical leftist teen he always unconsciously believed in "the sitcom version" of America This unexamined assumption from coast to coast the US was filled with suburban households with lawns and cars and 2.5 kids

          It was very easy to resent America by thinking of America as the imaginary paradise advertised by Americans' comfort food TV And he said when he came to live here it genuinely rocked his worldview to see how huge the gap between fantasy and reality was

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          Americans, specially the patriotick ones, really had no grasp on how "global" is their culture. Wandavision is, at least for me, sad and scary becouse as a mexican, i understand perfectly the idea of having USA Sitcoms be the model of a "perfect life".
