Is it supposed to be because most of the cast is people who actually live in modern-day Westview? the mix is not too diverse for modern-day central NJ (where I live)

Yeah it's the real population of the town, with their "characters" vaguely similar to who they are in real life but "upgraded" Wanda *could* have put all the POC in hibernation and actually made 50s Westview a sundown town but that would've felt too evil

Like, all the inconsistencies (like the stuff with the children) is Wanda trying to rationalize her actions to herself Like Fake Pietro says, she handles the ethical considerations as best she could, keeps all the families together, generally upgrades people's jobs/lifestyles

BTW did you notice we repeatedly see Mrs. Hart (Sharon Davis, played by Debra Jo Rupp) after the first episode but her husband Arthur (Todd Davis, played by Fred Melamed) never shows up again, despite being Vision's boss

The convo he was going to have with Vision about the promotion never actually happens or anything Mrs. Hart is just alone from then on, even in the final confrontation

Irl this is because Fred Melamed is an expensive actor who had scheduling conflicts In-universe, I think it's because Wanda was so freaked out by the events of that episode she put Arthur/Todd in hibernation so she wouldn't have to see him again

And just didn't think about how this is yet more torture she's pouring on Sharon Davis' head, that from her POV Wanda almost killed her husband and then locked him away forever for the crime of asking too many questions

That's much less morbid than the theory I came up with in the finale when she asks to be allowed to die. I thought that either she was a widow and Wanda brought her dead husband back to life or she was a widow who was forced to pretend to be married to a stranger

It's still uncertain whether Wanda can resurrect the genuinely dead ("Pietro" was Agatha trying to provoke discussion of this topic after she'd dodged it before but it turned out the resurrected Vision wasn't really Vision)

But in the first SWORD sequence in Ep 4 they show you they've IDed who Mr and Mrs Hart really were (Todd and Sharon Davis) And Fake Pietro points out Wanda has tried to maintain the ethical standard of keeping married couples together

It brings up some black comedy about the situation, like Wanda making a whole running gag in her sitcom about Phil and Dottie Jones being a sad sack schlub married to a snobby queen bee, just because irl Sarah Proctor is better looking than her husband Harold

I loved the pitch-dark comedy of Dottie/Sarah having figured out how it works and begging Wanda to cast her daughter as a secondary character Let her daughter be the mean girl at school who takes after her mom, maybe

It's okay if she has to get punished and humiliated as the victory at the end of the episode, that's still better than being trapped in hibernation experiencing Wanda's endless unconscious nightmares
