The gender stuff on WandaVision is interesting, like the fact that Wanda is playing the role of a harried housewife but is actually running the show is supposed to be "subverting" sitcom tropes but of course it's mirroring many actual sitcoms, starting with Bewitchedhttps://twitter.com/MelanieMoore/status/1361144278815100928 …

And it's the starting point of stuff like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie that gets you to the endpoint of the fully "subverted" Al Bundy/Homer Simpson/Hal from MitM stereotype of the Bumbling Dad who's a Spoiled Kept Prisoner in His Own Home

Like... from an in-universe perspective the WandaVision setting moving "forward in time" is also bringing its true nature closer and closer to the surface

I dunno I'm not saying this to attack the show or anything but it's interesting how it can be seen as a very Poor Men Woe Is Men narrative Vision *looks like* this square-jawed classic noble superhero, Wanda *acts like* a doting wife who's doing everything to make him happy

And yet he's the biggest victim of all, he's being profoundly tortured, this whole paradise is a prison tailor-made specifically to hold him and keep him trapped in a lie

Like I said in an earlier thread he's basically Leo DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road Classic '50s breadwinner having a breakdown screaming at his wife "YOU TRAPPED ME HERE" Which, you know, is normally seen as pretty unsympathetic

Replying to @arthur_affect
For me, this is about consent and not tortured vs happy. We know (from the show) that Vision somehow expressed the android equivalent of Do Not Resuscitate prior to his demise. I suspect we'll discover that Vision was partially revived by SWORD and Wanda felt his pain.

His body was in pieces when she broke into the lab so if that's actually true it's really dark
