Well... I agree part of the issue is Westview is *coded* as white suburbia and therefore its citizens relatable to much of the audience At the same time, I know I personally turned against Wanda (and so did Vision in-universe) after Asif Ali's performance as Abilash/Normhttps://twitter.com/Karnythia/status/1370418683508580353 …

People bring that up because it's an amazing, very short acting tour de force from Ali And it clearly rattles Vision very badly ("Norm has a FAMILY, Wanda!") But also I do see a hidden racial subtext in Wanda taking a real person and flattening him into The Geeky Coworker

Just like, you know, taking John Collins and putting him in an Afro and making him Vision's cool '70s Black best friend (the way Geraldine was her turning Monica into her own token Black best friend)

It's interesting that early WandaVision is much more diverse than actual sitcoms of those eras would be One of the best show cases of that is the change in Geraldine's character from the 60s to 70s episodes

Yeah Teyonah Parris said the real sitcoms of the era were fairly racially segregated but she wanted to give culturally influential shows like Good Times their representation on a show like this

Geraldine in this show is Willona from Good Times transplanted to a white sitcom
