It's kind of hilarious how they actually got the lead singer of Bikini Kill to do vocals for the punk theme song of the 90s/00s WandaVision episode And there's so much to talk about re: the show people skipped right over that

The arguments about WandaVision's ultimate quality are mostly about the big stuff, the writing of the show's core arc and the big thematic decisions And I think they're unusually intense because the superficial stuff is so good and impossible to argue with

And yeah I gotta once more say the hair people are the unsung heroes of this show and a huge part of what makes it work is Wanda and Vision seamlessly changing style and length every week in a way only made practical by the most advanced wig technology known to science

(In and of itself it's this huge visual joke that within two days Wanda switches from her fussy high-maintenance 50s perm to fucking *waist-length* 70s hippie hair that's never been touched by a drop of chemicals)
