If only WandaVision had gone for a more heavy-handed Cultural Marxist allegory.
Here’s what I don’t understand about the WandaVision show. So far the show has been predictable and, to me, boring. It has been a recap of classic sitcoms for the most part, too familiar and overplayed to be entertaining. But even this newest episode was derivative to the point of boredom. The acting was bad, and the dialogue was uninteresting. The characters were predictable and stuck in classic tropes. It followed the pattern of classic adventure TV shows in a staid way. One might even suggest it came off as a mockery of similar shows, even of Agents of Shield. Is the mind-warping aspect of the show intended to take on a breaking the fourth wall aspect, extending beyond the borders of Wanda’s artificially created reality into your own livingroom? Are they trying to be that creative? Or is the show just really bad? Given that young Cultural Marxists are notorious for making this sort of bad art as a regular practice, I suspect the latter. Marxism always makes terrible art, because it begins with a denial of the created order and, hating that order and the God of Creation and Providence behind it, they seek to destroy it.
At what point do cynicism and nihilism ruin the artistic endeavor, pursuing creativity in self-contradiction as they trudge on in despair?
Art can only be made as it is born out of love. Anything else descends the direction of anti-art, that is, of death.
