![]() The floor plan is nearly identical to Rob and Laura Petrie’s home specifically the living room and kitchen. Let us dive into all the incredible classic TV homages and references.Įpisode 1: The most prominent influence for the set design for Wanda and Vision’s house is The Dick Van Dyke Show. But what makes WandaVision so brilliant is that it’s all of these things combined with something entirely different. And there is definitely that kind of feel with this Marvel show. The same can be said for The Brady Bunch movies, although these skew a bit more towards spoof. A film like Enchanted is a cross between a loving homage and a parody as it is self referential and self deprecating in its humor while still remaining true to its heart and sincerity. Loving homages, parodies and spoofs are quite prevalent in film and we can see the influence for certain. Taking a look at all of the television references in WandaVision’s set design and architecture, fashion, plot and character beats, each of which is obviously well thought out, these homages are both complex and original with perhaps deeper meanings.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode of WandaVision and I’m excited to watch this intriguing, confusing, and entertaining story unfold. Portrayed as a more over the top variation of Ethel from I Love Lucy, there’s something clearly sinister about her. Being pulled into this questionable-reality guessing game is another thumbs-up aspect of the show.Īll the acting on WandaVision is top notch with stark believability, but the crown goes to Kathyrn Hahn as nosey, obnoxious neighbor Agnes. While many speculate that the Westview setting of WandaVision is happening after the events of the Avengers: Endgame, it’s trippy circumstances could be while both main characters were dead. This happened right before Wanda got snapped temporarily out of existence. If you’ve followed the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then you’re aware that Vision died at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. It was creepy, uncomfortable, and awesome! Vision looks terrified while Wanda stares off in a trance-like state. Heart begins to choke to death on his food while his wife eerily utters “stop it” over and over like she’s a glitchy video stuck on repeat. It’s wholesome-yet-naughty 60’s sitcom setting is fun and funny to watch until it dramatically isn’t. Their visit is ripe with comedic miscommunication, one-liners, and witty sexual innuendos.
