WandaVision Episode 8’s Quote About Grief Is Still Profound More Than Two Years Later

Though it’s been nearly three years since it first aired on Disney+, WandaVision stands out as one of the MCU‘s best TV shows, both for its innovative storytelling format and its complex themes on grief. WandaVision cleverly pushed the boundaries of Wanda’s reality-warping powers by showcasing how she was able to transform an entire town into the idealized sitcom world of her dreams. In doing so, the series took advantage of its format as a TV show and paid homage to decades of television that came before it. However, there was also a powerful metaphor for how denial and escapism can become unhealthy coping mechanisms for grief.
