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

And the nature of Vision's fake job seems to be to distract him and keep him busy so he has something to talk about when he comes home other than asking Wanda awkward questions about the nature of their reality

Yeah, though time is also somewhat nonlinear there. I'm not sure how long Vision actually goes to work for, whether he's working 8-hour days or just kind of zipping right back so he can come home.

He said in the last episode "I'm not going to sleep so you can change everything overnight again." So I think it has literally been the four days we've seen in the four fake episodes.

Yeah, although we know Wanda didn't steal his corpse four days ago, right?

The Director dude said 9 days ago, so whilst the show presents itself as this timeless artifact, in the 'real world' it's been, like, a week and a half.

I feel like besides being a commentary on "TV time" (creating what feels like a timeless universe based on a day's worth of footage) it's also a commentary on what happens when people have breakdowns like this

Wanda feels like she's in a perfect bubble she could stay in forever but it's actually burning tremendous resources to maintain and massively destabilizing the outside world and must collapse one way or another very soon

Seems like the problem is she can’t convince Vision more than anything else, she doesn’t seem to care about continuity or errors.

Worth talking about how the sitcom setting "moving forward in time", in-universe, means "becoming more like the real world", i.e. the fantasy breaking down and becoming less removed from reality every day

Like Vision on some level knows how the world is supposed to be - it's supposed to have color, for one thing - and she's switching it up to keep him satisfied

She's using some degree of mind control powers on him, right? Not the full load, but enough to keep him contained.
