*All Important* After finishing episode 6
Introducing the X-Men
This time it’s been officially established that passing through the barrier causes at least some change in the body.
My own view of this phenomenon is that it’s “how mutants get introduced for the X-Men.”
Here’s what I mean. It’s been announced officially that the X-Men are joining the MCU, and that brings one problem with it: the existence of mutants, which is the X-Men’s central theme. Saying there were mutants in the MCU all along and they show up after Endgame is a bit too convenient, isn’t it? There were plenty of world-scale crises before Endgame, so what exactly were they doing all that time lol
So the thought I had was that the Maximoff Anomaly gives the people in that town the X-gene, and that they go on to become the X-Men. Also, in the comics Wanda goes out of control and performs a reality warp that erases every mutant’s powers. So I thought maybe in the MCU she does the opposite and creates them.
Kang the Conqueror
Not much to do with WandaVision, but as a way of introducing the X-Men I’m also backing the theory that Kang the Conqueror, famous for time travel, turns up in the MCU.
Kang the Conqueror is a man from the future in the comics, a famous villain who clashes with the Avengers again and again, much like Thanos.
His strength is pulling in versions of himself from all sorts of time periods to fight alongside him lol In the comics Kang time travels to ancient Egypt and creates a monster there called Apocalypse. Apocalypse is in fact the progenitor of the mutants, which makes Kang the root cause of mutants existing at all. But Endgame established that changing the past has no effect on the future, so maybe the Maximoff Anomaly caused by Wanda, the one I’ve predicted here, becomes the trigger for mutants appearing.
There’s more on Kang over on this Wikipedia page lol
Incidentally, in the comics Kang is a character with history with Doctor Doom, the Fantastic Four’s villain, and with the X-Men’s Apocalypse.
Right. Those two are characters whose rights were held by Fox, the studio that got bought out.
Maybe Disney made the acquisition precisely so it could make Kang the Conqueror the MCU’s next main villain.
The White Eyes (Cataract) operation
So what on earth is the White Eyes (Cataract) operation that was on Hayward’s PC? White eyes bring to mind the synthezoids like Vision in the comics, and within WandaVision they call up the death visions of Vision and the Fox Pietro.
Hayward watching Vision — doing something using Vision, in other words — seems to be what the White Eyes operation is. Everything Hayward has said so far reads as hatred towards the Enhanced. So: use Vision’s Mind Stone to control the Enhanced and make them all kill each other. Dead people have white eyes, so it’s the White Eyes operation — maybe that’s it
Predictions for episode 7
Let me run through the trailer shots that haven’t appeared in the show yet.
Episode 7 really does look like it’ll move the story along in a behind-the-scenes style rather than a sitcom one
Dottie is staring at something in the garden. Maybe she’s watching Wanda and Vision fight
Those two really do look like they’re going to fight.
Those look like the Space Stone and the Mind Stone. And Wanda’s outfit looking like a patient’s — is that because she’s been captured by A.I.M.?
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier trailer
A new trailer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier!!!
First off, the music is incredibly cool!!! Airing two or three weeks after WandaVision finishes is so exciting!!! The track playing in the trailer is below!
The villain of the show is Zemo from Civil War! In the comics he’s known as Baron Zemo in a purple hood, and it looks like he takes that form in the series too! Way too exciting!! Details below!
On episode 7
Episode 7 is here!!
