Maybe because that's a more specific, thankfully less common experience than grief in general But holy shit man I feel like they hit something deep there When you're in the kind of abusive relationship where you're not even allowed to feel your own feelings anymore Only hers

Sometimes intimate relationships, sometimes big-ass communities I won't name names but we all know online spaces that sell themselves as safe spaces from trauma that turn out to just be endlessly reenacting the trauma of the people who started it

Waking up every day being told what's supposed to piss you off, what's supposed to fill you with fear, what's supposed to give you joy and relief And if you don't perform the right feelings you're supposed to have every day you face being exiled

Monica's instant forgiveness set to stirring music made me drop any subtext I assumed really fast I don't think the writers were thinking about it all that deeply, the end was a bit too allegorically clumsy for that in my opinion

All in all a pretty good series that made me feel things! Hope we see more MCU stuff with that level of characterization and emotion

There are a ton of great lines in WandaVision.

I think White Vision's realization that his memories being hidden from him made him an easier weapon to control is undervalued. Our experiences teach us; even the bad ones, the ones we'd like to erase. In a series about memory and grief, it's an important moment.

[WandaVision spoilers] There was so much good content in there about the nature of the hurt, like, Dottie desperately begging to see her daughter, to someone who didn't even understand she was responsible… that hit me hard I was really hoping to unpack it, but we just didn't

[WandaVision spoilers] I was really expecting the relationship between Wanda and the town to be more of a prominent feature of the series, and more fundamental to the emotional climax popping off It made me sad to see it mostly used as framing for Wanda's internal struggles

I mean, the reason for that is that the show doesn't want us to think about it too much, because then we might not like Wanda anymore. It's introduced and then almost immediately we get people telling Wanda that she's actually a good person and it's not her fault.

It doesn't force us to forgive or forget, but it does gloss over the trauma she forced on those people. And even on Agatha. Those sorts of loose ends always come back in these things, which is both a plot point and an allegory to reality.
