      Like I absolutely headcanon that from the age of ten until the age of thirty Wanda would've angrily denied it if you accused her of ever having been a fan of black-and-white cheesy US dom-coms

      Even when she's chilling in the Avengers compound whiling away the hours watching TV by herself she's switched to watching Malcolm in the Middle, which is much more subversive and less embarrassing than being a fan of Dick van Dyke It's something she's in denial about

      I mean, isn't everyone? The 1950s American Dream is the most worn-out dunk target in, like, all of pop culture and academia It's cringe af to say you actually want that shit "I can't move to the suburbs, my soul would wither and die there", etc

      She doesn't admit it until she's completely broken down, eroded all the way to her exposed core, till she's lost absolutely everything real in her life and has nothing at all remaining but her dreams, her oldest dream, her last dream

      The last thing that changes in that scene is *herself*, after everything around her changes This defiant 21st-century badass rebel lady finally stepping into the empty hole in the picture and assuming the role of a Laura Petrie housewife

      And I really do think the subtext is there, especially with the jokes in the commercials about rubbing in the over-the-top sexism of the era "Yes, I know it's problematic Yes, I know it's demeaning Yes, I know I'm throwing other women under the bus LET ME FUCKING HAVE THIS"

      Wanda blasting Monica out of her fantasy world is like if the "Shh, let people enjoy things comic" came back armed with a shotgun and filled with intense feral rage

      Now that I think about it I dunno if this meta angle could possibly be intentional but it's definitely there This is absolutely a meta show about Enjoying Problematic Media About the sheer intensity of the emotion behind people who get ultra-fucking-defensive about their faves

      Like, that's my response to @nberlat's thing about the moral links being muddled -- how almost no one who has a Problematic Life in the Suburbs is problematic in a way that you can point to them and say "These are the specific people you horribly victimized"

      the problem is that they don't seem to really think those old sitcoms are problematic? the show loves those old sitcoms, and doesn't really have anything in particular to say about racism in them (Wanda's world is color blind pretty much.)

      They may have dodged a lot of the conversation about race but the convo about sexism is absolutely there The irony of Wanda putting herself in a world where the joke is on her about the constant casual sexism and put-downs she faces is a core theme of the show

          not sure I'd call it a core theme when she never really complains about it or talks about it. and the ultimate point of the show is that evil witch stereotypes are all true...
