If "Wanda and Vision" is not unwavering in love, how can it be sad and piercing?

It will make you keep thinking: Wow, is this really the... Marvel who has made popcorn popcorn movies about commercial heroes for more than ten years? Is it really that Marvel? I see half of them even actually going to check the producer.

Marvel has always been very good at telling stories. After all, stories are loved by everyone and will never be out of date, but the way of telling stories will be outdated. The moviegoers have been trained to be very smart. The formulaic story line is annoying and must be brave to break through. , Not afraid of innovation, in order to fight a bloody path in today's film and television melee.

A company that thoroughly studies characters and plots can only be regarded as an ok film and television producer. Now it is all over the place, but if the audience's life is also studied and understood, it will be a very competitive film and television empire. After all, the audience will no longer pay for the pure Dragon Quest and bloodline plots, and will resonate and identify with their stories, so that the works can continue to survive in a market with increasingly heavier and more volatile tastes.

"Wanda and Vision" is a mini-hero series in a sitcom, but if you're a big fan of American-style sitcoms, or you're crazy about Marvel-esque superhero movies, then I'm probably going to dissuade: If it is the former, it will only feel that the play is not vicious enough, the laughs are not dense enough, and there is a sense of sadness and weirdness everywhere; You can't find that adrenaline rush.

This series is suitable for people who do not exclude and find both film and television genres interesting, but if you are a loyal believer of one party, you have a good chance of thinking that "Wanda and Vision" is nondescript.

Why choose to start with a sitcom?

Perhaps sitcoms are the happiest thing Wonder (Elizabeth Olsen) knows. From a young age, American sitcoms have always been a source of joy in her life, and her way of healing and escaping reality. But the parents who accompanied her to watch the album during the war died, the brother who accompanied her to watch the album when she became an experimental subject died, and the vision (Paul Bettany) who accompanied her to watch the album when her body and mind almost collapsed also died, and she subconsciously returned to the situation Comedy hugs, trying to make oneself less sad, but like tolerance to drugs, "seeing" is useless, only to get yourself into sitcoms, personally involved in hilarious jokes and full of -- only -- —Interaction of laughter, isolation from the world, can barely survive.

Marvel’s first Easter egg this time is directly hidden in the title: although the Chinese translation is “Wanda and Vision”, the English title is actually “WandaVision”. Note that there is no “and”. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's English title, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, is grammatically correct.

WandaVision can be regarded as a structure similar to Television. It is Wanda's own TV. The only program broadcast is her elaborate situation comedy to escape from reality; it is also possible to interpret Vision alone as "imagination", which is Wanda's own licking. The tool for licking the wound allowed her to get what she wanted in a series of unsuccessful requests.

To borrow Chaplin's words: "Life is a tragedy when seen up close, and a comedy when viewed from a distance." Her depression and fear have always been hidden under all the surface of joy. As her mentality gradually collapsed, the funny comedy of the first few episodes changed. It became more and more strange, with the unknown loud crash, the neighbors suddenly showing bright red blood in the black and white picture, and the chaotic scene arrangement of the times. Wanda gradually realized the false world she created, but the surrounding things gradually pushed away from her. control.

Poor Wanda has been working on a tough jigsaw puzzle.

When she was nearing the end of her first time, the Sukovia civil war broke out, the house was blown up, her parents died, and it was like someone walking without looking at the road bumped into her while she was working on a jigsaw puzzle, which was crooked on a plate ;Wanda thought of revenge and joined Hydra. She dealt with the pieces of the puzzle in resentment, and later became a member of the Avengers. The puzzle can gradually see its prototype. Just when the second time was about to be completed, her brother Kuaiyin was killed by Austrian. Killing her was like a sudden earthquake of magnitude 8. Her puzzle plate fell to the ground, and the puzzle pieces were scattered on the ground.

Wanda stayed in the Avengers base with no life, relying on the remaining stubbornness in her heart to repair the puzzle, and with the company of Vision, she seemed to have found another more targeted way to heal herself; Complete, Vision is dead, a bomb hits the puzzle plate directly, and the puzzle pieces are scattered like stumps. It seems that it takes all her courage and hope to recover them completely and concentrate them on the puzzle plate.

Destiny seems to have always treated Wanda in a nasty way, always taking away her only one at the most lethal point in time.

Everything in the world has its own rules, and we can't speed up growth for convenience, just like we can't reverse death, no matter how sad we are, understand? Some things are eternal.

She is an extremely contradictory being, with one of the most powerful powers in the universe, and can easily single out Thanos and Doctor Strange, but she is extremely fragile and vulnerable. In the end, she is just a 20-year-old with severe PTSD. old girl.

Wang Da's heart has always been small, so small that she can only hold a family, but fate never seems to allow her to fulfill her wishes.

It's more miserable, to be honest, in the Marvel universe, everyone who can be named has a fight. It is precisely because of their experiences that they are destined to become strange and extraordinary.

Because all his family died in the war in Sukovia in "Avengers 2", Baron Zimo decided to take revenge, blow up the United Nations building, and let the heroes kill each other. The fate made him the villain; Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister, Girlfriend, Asgard, Throne, Right Eye, Hair, Muscle, and the Meow Meow Hammer was snatched by Captain America. It was so miserable that he chose to stay alone on the sofa. Day, then binge eating pizza, emptying the village's wine cellar, trying to turn his body composition into cheese and alcohol, a hero becomes a depression beer belly uncle.

Fate plays tricks, some people become villains, some people become heroes. What about Wanda? One after another sad past events weighed on her heart. Looking at the land deed with a heart on it and the words "May the rest of your life be here with your son", all the grief that was deliberately ignored broke out for a while. Unconsciously, she His superpowers turned Xijingzhen into a happy little theater that covered up the tragic reality. All the objects became the layout of the theater, and it also kidnapped the minds of the residents, and let everyone accompany Wang Da to perform a show that only had laughter and nothing. Painful situation comedy.

The most common symptoms of PTSD are nothing more than over-awareness, avoidance of numbness, and re-experience of trauma. Most people have dreams and repeatedly play traumatic situations in their dreams, but Wanda's magic allows her to directly create a dream-like world, When an outsider breaks in and tries to shake her imagination, such as the neighbor's questioning, the illusion's questioning, and the agents of the Tianjian Bureau, she will subconsciously reverse, edit her plot, and block everything that may cause rifts.

And the trauma she's suffered throughout her life keeps coming back, like flashbacks, including visions and her brother's death, as well as fake ads suggesting unexploded bombs and Hydra's evil control. She instinctively blocked all damage, refused to wake up, and then processed and beautified the dream for the second time.

If you want to move into the future, you must first look back to the past.

She has always believed that her power comes from pain, which makes her state more and more dangerous, as if the wind will blow into the abyss, and it will never end. The witch Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) may be the designated villain of the show, but she wants to find out the source of the Scarlet Witch's mana by digging into the past of Wanda, but she forcibly implements a "desensitization treatment" for Wanda, Let Wanda look at what happened to him from the perspective of an outsider, and discover the love and redemption blinded by sadness and despair——

The American sitcom DVD that Dad smuggled home; the unexploded Stark industrial bomb with a red light in front of him; the calling of the Mind Stone in the lab; the clumsy but trying consolation of Vision.

But what is grief, if not love persevering?

Sadness is the continuation of the most beloved, and it is also the essence of the most beloved. If love is unwavering, how can there be grief to the bone? Robots can also write poems. These eight short English words have a huge load of information and emotions. They poked directly into Wanda's heart and solved her heart disease - not only at the time, but also from the perspective of the audience. With this memory, she.

You are my sorrow and my hope.

It turned out that the pain in my heart is because of my true love, and all the pain I suffer now is because I have always loved deeply. Wanda realized that the source of his strength is the two-way love with his relatives, not pain and evil, and explained Wonder why the long-dead Vision was created out of thin air by the power within Wanda: Vision had become a part of her.

We've said goodbye before, so it stands to reason, we'll say hello again.

We've said goodbye, so maybe, we'll meet again. From the collapse at the beginning, to the quiet welcome of sadness at the end, then healing, and then starting again.

Wonderful farewells to the children and Vision, taking back the magical enchantment of the sitcom. If she was a little bit bad and indifferent, maybe she could continue to kidnap the townspeople and act, watch the children grow up, and join hands with Vision to grow old, but she can't ignore that her happy little days were bought at the cost of the brokenness of hundreds of families, after all , to create this illusion, from the beginning to the end, because of her emphasis on and attachment to emotions, she has not forgotten the tragedy of her life, and she has never been able to bear to impose it on others. At this point, Wanda is back to the hero - even though the suffering of others is caused by her.

The size of the so-called "pattern" has no positive correlation with the quality of the work. "Wanda and Vision" focuses on Wanda's psychological trauma, "The Falcon and the Cold Warrior" condemns the hypocrisy of those in power and social distortions, and "Rocky" discusses the fate and meaning of survival for all human beings. Marvel's water-testing trilogy is well-organized and not rushed.

In the first "Wanda and Vision", there were a lot of big clues that made fans excited, such as the demon Mephisto, the resurrection of Quicksilver, the mutants joining the Marvel universe, etc., but the final ending did not mention it at all, pretending that nothing happened, thunder It’s raining a lot and it’s a little bit tricky. Marvel might be a bit scumbag like this, but I’m very rebellious and want to say that it’s fortunate that the screenwriter didn’t rush to develop this series, and finally went back to the psychological level of Wanda, Let the story be drawn into a complete circle, which is more textured.

Because hero-themed works are no longer just popcorn movies where heroes save the world, but a multi-level discussion of the human nature of the hero itself.
