      Thinking about the high concept behind the fantasy sitcom of WandaVision The show is very much about the sexism of the past and about Wanda being an overworked housewife ("Every episode has a scene of her doing the dishes") But Vision... doesn't need any of it done

      Ep 1 tells us outright that Vision does not eat human food (and Ep 2 confirms that he CANNOT) All the meals Wanda makes are only for herself, which justifies why Vision is so helpless when she asks him to chip in

      And his human face is just him shape-shifting his nanites into an illusion of one He doesn't shave, and he doesn't excrete or sweat, so he doesn't need to bathe The bathroom is as irrelevant to him as the kitchen is

      The only housewife chores that impact him in any way would be dusting and vacuuming the common areas etc And even then Wanda generates most of the dust (95% of which indoors is shed human skin cells) If Vision lived by himself he'd be just fine without her, practically speaking

      It's interesting The show on the surface level seems to be Wanda punishing herself by putting herself in a sexist society that traps her in Betty Friedan domestic servitude etc But it's also clearly a fantasy of being needed, of having a job that matters

          Being a housewife being a job that involves nurturing and creating, as opposed to being a superhero whose powers involve combat and destruction The twins come along to give her someone who needs her more genuinely than Vision does

          This is especially notable because by the time we hit the 80s, real sitcoms were actively trying to subvert the whole sexist 50s paradigm All three of the shows the 80s episode references - Family Ties, Growing Pains, Full House - subverted the breadwinner dad/homemaker mom

          Family Ties had the mom also be employed but working from home (as an architect) Growing Pains, which came later, escalated by switching it so the dad worked from home (as a therapist) and was the primary homemaker during the day Full House, of course, didn't have a mom

          They could be using it as a dramatic mechanism to show how much things inevitably change while Wanda tries to keep everything the same.

          It's interesting how you bring that up, because in all other aspects the show seems to have whitewhashed (literally, in the first episode) the bigotries of the time into this perfect suburban idyll. Wanda seems to want to create a paradise *around* her, but not *for* her.

          Right, it's interesting that the 1950s lifestyle she initially built the fantasy around means that even though it's a fantasy for her and Vision to be together, it's a fantasy that keeps them separated for most of the day

          I think it's also a commentary on kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s in former Soviet Bloc nations, living in difficult conditions in war-torn parts of the map while gradually gaining access to several days worth of idealized broadcast Americana.

          Like, I'm sure she sat in Sokovia watching old sitcoms with neat lawns, massive houses, fridges full of food, and talked to her brother about what it would be like to live somewhere like that someday. That was the dream.
