More on WandaVision

 I think ”Westview” and “Eastview” are references to The Wizard of Oz, as well as The Witches of Eastwick. That’s one Easter egg I haven’t heard anybody pick up on. I believe that we’ll find that Wanda went to Westview, where Agatha Harkness lives, to receive training on how to harness her powers. And things got out of control, in such a way that involved Wanda cutting a deal with Mephisto. I believe Pietro is actually Mephisto. I also think there were intentional allusions to some nineties movies in the last episode, namely Twister, The Sixth Sense, Godzilla, and Hocus Pocus. 

There’s a narrowness in this show, a narcissism, of the sort you get from artists - tv shows about making a tv show, poems about poetry, music videos and songs about life on the road. The hardest thing for some artists, it seems, is to make art about real life. Tom King, who wrote the ”Vision” comic series on which this show is partially based, once said that the suburbs were to him what Hell looks like. And there’s something of that in this show. Disdain for one’s subject matter cannot accurately reflect that subject. All art has to be born out of love, or it will end up being a misrepresentation of its subject. But narcissism is the breeding ground for hate, after all, and hate always deforms both the artist and his subject in its presentation. The makers of this show love TV. But not so much suburbanites in their everyday lives. That is clinging to the myths of yesteryear, a time that deserves to be dead and gone.
