I felt completely left out, because although I had seen the last Spiderman movie, I hadn't watched Wandavision or half of the TV shows. It was like trying to follow a game in a sport you only have a casual interest in: you kind of know the rules but have no idea who the main teams or players are or who is up or down in the league, so your enjoyment is limited to the occasional good goal or pass (or VFX shot in this case).
In contrast to DC movies - very hit and miss in quality, but you can at least watch a movie without having to follow a dozen other TV shows and other films in the franchise.
- gambiting 4y agoSo I personally enjoy this style of storytelling - it rewards you for knowing the backstory of all the characters, it allows for a richer universe, and you don't feel like the film treats you like an idiot for explaining everything you might already know. But - I can also see why this is a problem - you're right that people who haven't seen Wandavision would be very confused by this film. Wanda went from being a hero in Infinity War/Endgame, to suddenly being a villain.
- SSLy 4y agomind you that you still can't legally watch WV in a lot of the countries the movie is running in.
- gambiting 4y agoI know, and I agree it's a problem. I don't know what the right answer is. I think building a big universe requires some background knowledge of the events and characters, but maybe in this specific case Wanda could have used like one more scene just to explain what happened in Westview.
