- WandaVision Episode 4 starts explaining the mystery around Wanda’s imaginary world, and the audience gets to understand what’s really happening in Westview.
- The best part of the new episode is the opening sequence, which fixes one of the most annoying things about Endgame.
- WandaVision needs only a few minutes to settle a few key matters that Endgame and Far From Home never really addressed.
Avengers: Endgame is an incredible Marvel movie -- the culmination of more than ten years of stories spread over 21 distinct films. But it has some annoying elements that stand out the more you see it. One of them is the scarcity of people compared to other entries in the series. The Avengers are restoring order to the universe by bringing back everybody who was snapped away in Infinity War, but we hardly get a chance to see non-superpowered people in the movie. And yes, Earth lost 3.5 billion humans after Thanos snapped his fingers, and Endgame does a great job to show the desolation of the world in the wake of the disaster.
Even five years later, people aren’t back to anything resembling normal. Most of the action in Endgame happens in the past in alternate timelines. The final battle is set in the Avengers compound. These are good enough explanations for why we don’t get to see many normal people in the film. This brings me to the finale of Endgame, which is dominated by the battle and the immediate aftermath. We don’t even get to see the people appearing back on Earth. Hearing Peter Parker describe how he came back to life isn't good enough.
The movie ends on a heartbreaking note, as Iron Man died saving billions. It’s a bittersweet end, though it might lean too heavily into the sweet. The film does little to convey to the audience that bringing all those people back hardly fixes everything. This is far from the perfect happy end, and there’s still plenty of bitterness to go around. Spider-Man: Far From Home addresses the blip in a whimsical way, as you might expect from a film meant to lift spirits after Endgame.
Now, nearly two years after Endgame hit theaters and four episodes into WandaVision, Marvel is finally fixing the biggest problem with Endgame. Beware, WandaVision Episode 4 spoilers follow below.
