I enjoyed F&TWS way more. Loved WandaVision’s slow, gradual approach in those first few episodes, resembling something directed by David Lynch, but the show lost me near the end. That underlining sinister tone had me glued to the seat those first few weeks.

I think the best moments of F&WS were better than Wandavision but Wandavision was more interesting beginning to end. The gradual week to week build of Wandavision was dope they just fumbled the finale a bit imo. F&WS had like 1-2 great scenes just about every episode but everything else would be ehh and not really connect with me or have me invested.

I tried to avoid comparisons while they were airing but now that they're both over, WandaVision by a pretty decent margin.

I think the shows release order getting swapped around did both a disservice. F&WS is standard MCU, First Avenger material, which is great action, comic book accuracy. That was supposed to be the first thing we saw after Endgame. Had it come out as planned instead of following something so unique and haunting, it wouldn't look/feel as pedestrian as it seems to some.

And on the flip side, WandaVision being a little abstract at the beginning might not have been as jarring for people had we eased into this phase with something that felt a little more straight forward.

WandaVision, due to the nature of the run time and mystery got several spins throughout the week waiting for the next episode. I think by ep 3 of F&WS it was pretty clear that I wasn't gonna have that experience, wasn't too much to care about to warrant re-watching. I watched WV with my 11 year old and while she was pretty antsy through the first two episodes, once it hit 3 she got lost in the wirlwind. By the end of it she was crying, hugging me, her mind was racing, she was asking questions..it was an enriching, memorable experience.

I think F&WS has some of those moments but there's some connective tissue lacking between them and compelling characters besides Isiah.

- both shows were great imo
- wanda vision was more original and until the last ep had no idea what was going to happen
- cap and winter solider; was more straight forward; but the finale was better, and overall i felt the acting was better. especially from mackie, and the guy playing isaiah bradley :salute:
- but if i was to rewatch either of these shows, would probably start with wandavision :yeshrug:

All you gotta do is compare the threads. Men lie, women lie, thread page count don't :ufdup:


Wandavision was the superior show. Sure they trolled the hell out of us but we enjoyed it.

I found myself surfing the coli several times during FAWS because it just wasn't grabbing my attention like that. Storyline was butt cheeks. The villains were trash. Nothing about it was captivating.

I appreciate the social commentary but they should have had a strong storyline and had the social commentary on top of that.



Wandavision also had 3 extra weeks:usure:

Cut out the three weeks worth of posts and I promise you there was more participation and discussion in there than in the FAWS thread. Why that is i couldn't tell ya :mjpls:
That's not it. She kicked Thanos' ass and is the hottest character in the MCU by far. House of M was trending..come on..lol
