I tried to watch Wandavision and just couldn't get into it. Even with the whole homage/satire element, I just found it felt like a weak comedy sketch and I didn't care enough about the underlying story to continue. I know it had more depth; but, I have never really been interested in the whole "Scarlet Witch" mental breakdown. To me, it has always been an extension of the female characters being made to suffer, emotionally and mentally, if not physically, compared to males. The best stories I have seen that have done this, with female characters, are usually from female writers, who give it more nuance, like Diana Schutz's Grendel Tales story about the adult Stacy Palumbo, the adopted daughter of Hunter Rose, and the abuse that she suffered and what it did to her, how the Grendel force touched her, beyond what Matt Wagner had done in the Christine Spar storyline in the original series. It treats Stacy as a more rounded character, though Matt Wagner did a pretty decent job of that originally, both in Devil By The Deed and the devil's Legacy storyline. Diana expanded it further, going beyond Christine's memories. It was dark and unsettling...more than any other storyline with the character and most comics in general. Others would ramp up violence or depravity; Didi showed that you could stay within reality and be more horrifying. Especially as the artwork threw titillating situations back as more depraved than some fans would admit.

I fully admit that it was more creative and daring than most of the rest of the MCU spinoffs; but, it was not really something that interested me, as even a divergence. The one spin-off I really, really liked was Agent Carter and they killed it quickly. There was a series that had something to say, beyond adapting and twisting storylines or just run through bad comedy or pointless fight scenes. Peggy Carter was an interesting and powerful character and they just tossed her away, instead of embracing it and letting her be a window into the history of the MCU and instead gave us more bland SHIELD and badly lit Daredevil, and by-the-numbers Disney+ shows.

I don't fault anyone who enjoyed that stuff, as it is just my reaction and it is all subjective. I liked bits and pieces of Falcon & the Winter Soldier, some elements of She-Hulk (more scenes than episodes, really) thought Daredevil was faithful to the material (just couldn't see it and I wasn't interested in watching a dark and gritty series) and give them points for trying things, where they actually did try something different.

I just would rather see them forget strict continuity and even universes at large and just have fun and go to different places. I would love to see Luke Cage done as a 70s Blaxploitation homage, complete with a funk soundtrack and a "Sweet Christmas," and revel in it, like Black Dynamite or Undercover Brother. A Western series with The Rawhide Kid, Two-Gun Kid, Matt Slade, Kid Colt, etc. Dominic fortune, in the 30s and 40s, in pulpy adventures. Killraven in a dystopian world of a second Martian invasion. Deathlok in his original environment. Shang Chi as James Bond-meets-Bruce Lee, not watered down HK action cliches, the Eternals as Kirby's space gods, not that thin soup they made it, Spider-Woman as a figure with a mysterious and confused past, trying to make sense of her life, while dealing with bizarre foes and events, like The Brothers Grim and the Hangman, and Morgan Le Faye, etc. Steranko's SHIELD, or even something more like UNIT, in Doctor Who......Sgt Fury as a 60s action war movie (meaning in the style of 60s WW2 movies, like The Guns of Navarone and Where Eagles Dare). Nova as a combination space adventure and superhero coming of age. Howard the Duck as real absurdity and satire.

Probably wouldn't be mainstream; but, you never know until you try.
