Anyway, kinetic energy is just 1/2mv^2, "superspeed" is just creating huge amounts of energy out of nowhere, and being able to apply delta-v to yourself (accelerate and decelerate) without harm means you're invulnerable too (being hit by a bullet or a wall is also acceleration)

Actually WandaVision makes all this *much more* justified than it was before Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch BOTH have pure "reality breaking" powers that violate conservation of energy and physics and let them do whatever they want

It's just that the way Quicksilver uses it is much more direct and much less creative "Bullet time" is a very single-minded meathead-jock way of "doing the impossible" as opposed to doing it the smart way with magical wiggly-woos But it still gets the job done

Hence we see it repeat with the next generation -- Billy and Tommy really have the same powers, it's just that Tommy uses them in a way that doesn't require thinking about shit

It's funny how *blatant* they make that with Evan Peters Pietro too His powers are as much of a handwave as Wanda's "You don't even have a costume!" "Don't I?" *zip, comes back fully dressed with his hair all done up and everything*

The idea that from his POV he spent like a whole afternoon's worth of time shopping for that costume, trying it on for size, and then like carefully gelling his hair into place and then bleaching and gelling Tommy's too just so he could own Wanda

While they're in bullet time at the hair salon and he's checking to see if Tommy's tips are fully frosted yet "Okay kid now remember when we go back into the room you gotta act like no time has passed, that's what makes this kind of thing funny"

The idea that his powers affect the rate at which bleach works is actually the least plausible thing about him just "going fast".

Yeah and Tommy's hair is back to normal in the very next episode so this is obviously just the general "TV magic" of the Hex at work

Every episode being one day is actually the most notable departure from Sitcom Time of any show in a long time.

It's a pretty fun parody of "Sitcom Time" honestly Commenting on the fact that it feels like we've known this family FOREVER when we've only interacted with them for like six hours total

It really hilights the forced nature of the automatic return to the status quo in a subtle but effective way.
