But not everything is copycating some series, there +is a story going on the side, which tries to explain why you're watching Wanda +and Vision in, say, "I Love Lucy" style, although the real reason is actually +shown in the very last episodes. + +And the real reason for the multiple series is actually a pretty good reason, +but someone decided that it was time to introduce another villain, just in case +Disney decided to make a Wanda movie in the future. + +In case you didn't spoil yourself yet, here it goes: Wanda is using her full +power to create an illusion in the same style of the series she watched as a +kid, after losing Vision and her brother in the movies. So the whole thing is +actually a way to deal with loss and how people search escape from the sad +feelings they feel and that affects people around -- which is a pretty large +affect part when you have magical powers. + +Acting is top notch, with Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany still doing the +quality they did in the movies. The rest of the cast just follows along. + +In the end, it is fun series, even when the message is pretty dark.
