Critics have take in the first three episode ofWandaVision , the upcoming Marvel Studios Disney+ series star Scarlet Witch and the Vision as they take on their greatest challenge yet : the situation comedy . Which means we ’ve stimulate belief .
The early verdict is that the show , from what has been seen so far , is moderately compelling , albeit substantially more off - kelter than a normal Marvel Studios entry . There are lots of court toold sitcoms , and it seems to , largely , in any event , be a clowning . All of which sounds pretty challenging .
Here ’s what the io9 crew thought :

WandaVision ’s a slick role cogitation of its lead duo , multiple kinds of television appearance , and a large scale MCU floor that pull out in enough elements from the bequest comics that almost everyone was a little correct in dissimilar ways about what ’s going on in Westview

Watched the first 3 episode of#WandaVisionyesterday . It ’s weird & hilarious in means Marvel has no right attempt , but they pass with flying colors it anyway . Then it splash in just enough mystery to keep you conjecture and fascinated . I ’m so excited to see how far it can go.pic.twitter.com/7PIFQiUNxF

block out the first three episodes , which are all short but do n’t feel that way , and just really enjoy get to experience the fun of this unequaled concept and execution . Marvel should lean into “ different ” more often.#WandaVision

And here are some ruling from the wide soda pop culture blogosphere :
Three episode into#WandaVisionand I. Am . dependent . Not only is the series a bed recreation of classic goggle box shows ( everything beautiful ) , but the account is so compelling . Elizabeth Olsen & Paul Bettany are adorable and hilarious . My most anticipated did n’t disappoint!pic.twitter.com / jZVE6zIlQB

It ’s like WANDAVISION was specifically made for me . Each of the three episodes I witness to the full seizure ( and seldom deviates ) from the tone , humor and dialogue from a classic situation comedy . Kathryn Hahn as the nosy neighbor is incredible .

I ’ve watch out THREE episodes of#WandaVisionand have soundly bask it . genuinely unlike anything Marvel Studios has done — it ’s weak , funny & fully attached to its retro sitcom inspirations , but it also carefully sprinkles in enough mystery & machination to keep you guessingpic.twitter.com/8dqegsg5By

WandaVision is everything I wanted it to be and more . It is not a parody or snarky take on classic sitcoms . It ’s the most respectful , earnest celebration of that nontextual matter form that I ’ve seen … . ever ?

Watched 3 episodes of#WandaVisionand the show is unearthly as hell ( in a safe way ) .
Two things are clear . 1 ) Marvel is dedicated to parodying classic sitcoms and 2 ) the MCU is finally back !
Ca n’t await to see how this show sets up Doctor Strange 2 and Spider - Man 3 👀 pic.twitter.com/nR6rTShfOY

The characters and the preferences are familiar , but#WandaVisionis unlike anything you ’ve figure before . I am ghost with all of the Easter eggs and daddy polish nods from the sitcoms that exhort each episode . And yes,#KathrynHahnsteals the scene whenever she pop in.pic.twitter.com/d77k3gycHQ

WANDAVISION is a tantalizing experiment with shades of Lynch that is almost irritatingly consecrated to tardily fiddle out its mystery . ( I wanted more ! ) But one surprisal : It ’s funny ! The jokes feel at home in the I LOVE LUCY / BEWITCHED - homaging world , Paul Bettany is a comedy starpic.twitter.com/ulKuupVgmH

The first 3 episodes of#WandaVisionare the legit business . A funny , aggressively - tuned ravisher . Will satiate the tastes of sitcom & superhero fans , particularly when it burlesque the schematic . Paul Bettany & Elizabeth Olsen are great , but Teyonah Parris & Kathryn Hahn are HIGHlightspic.twitter.com/Y5SkhqPKko

construe the first three episode of#WandaVisionand they ’re peculiar . It captures the mood and data format of classic sitcoms , and Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany are bully together . For Marvel fans , it introduces a intimate organisation.pic.twitter.com/6QG0fXPG8 GB

challenging ! Early impressions are always to be taken with a grain of salt — three episode ai n’t the whole series , and most medium is too complex to really unravel , good or regretful , in a couple of tweets . But it certainly seems like there might be some veridical promise here .
