it's going to be shit on by fans who built their own expectations with theories and cameos and comic book nebula. At the same time, having Evan Peters play "Fietro" is something that invited that sort of idea, so the stunt casting may have really teed up fans for nothing.
I dont think thats the case. I have yet to hear people ragging on it because it didnt meet their nerdgasms. Almost everybody is declaring it a great series. Just wasnt the build up some expected.
WOW HOLLY SHIIIII .. Such a great series finale. Seeing her become the Scarlett Witch was freaking awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and will binge watch sometime next week. Teyannah Paris was good but I fully expect her to be great in Captain Marvel 2. Also looking forward to more "Strange" encounters with Wanda post Multiverse of Madness.

What else is new there, Happens with most tv series.
I liked the finale overall. But then I didn't have
Spoiler:
any expectations of a Luke Skywalker-type reveal or something going into it, so wasn't bothered by Agatha being the big bad of the show. I just wished that they were a bit more creative with Wanda and Agatha's battle. I really liked the Vision vs Vision showdown though, as well as the fact that they settled it with the discussion of the Ship of Theseus thought experiment. Seemed like such a Vision thing to do lol. And I really liked Wanda's Scarlet Witch costume. I also thought the family emotional stuff was pretty good as well.
Originally posted by -Pr-Because not only did they play with hype, but also it didn't even pay off.
Why? They needed to keep the audience guessing. If they cast random actor #29, people wouldn't have had any doubt that it wasn't really Pietro.
That entire plot point dragged to the very end of the series and just to... Make a dick joke? Lol, it was stupid without even bringing up hype and all of that.

All in all, WandaVision was a fun watch but it teased too much with a mediocre payoff.
payoff was not mediocre at all. it was all about wanda's grief and her becoming the Scarlett Witch..
The problem with these things is that folks put out fan theories and once they realized none turned out true, they started crying, whining and even more utthurt about it.
Im sorry but teasing Fox Quicksilver was not fan theories going too far. They literally teased it before snatching that away a few episodes later.
Aside from that one gripe though, I enjoyed the series, and thought the finale was fine as we have to understand the story/thread will continue elsewhere in the MCU.
