I literally just got out of theater and at Starbucks to chill and unwind to write the first impression without hopefully spoiling the movie.
First of, the movie is so very Sam Raimi, like everything you see in there screams his signature. Thank you Sam Raimi for bringing in such a wonderful movie for us fans to watch and I really enjoyed the movie. To Benedict Cumberbatch, thank you for being the perfect Dr Stephen Strange.
Tumblr media
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
The movie kicks off with what we saw in the trailers (I won't specify which one). During the first half, I did noticed that the movie has a bit of a fast pacing that I am like, "huh! were only 15 minutes in and were already at this part." (which was also featured in the trailers). And now during the second part of the movie, where Dr Strange finally meets the Illuminati, is kind of disappointing for me. The scenes kind of screams Evil Dead vibes (which is not bad) but the events or the scenes that occur during this "moment" will give the audiences/viewers a WTF moment in which in my case, it is a WTF moment and I am disappointed in that scene.
The 3rd act of the movie picked up its pace again, and it has somehow trying to make up for the "disappointing moment" prior. And the final act of the movie finally can make you tear up. Both Wanda and Dr Strange, even America have found the answers to their life questions.
Cameos that people were hoping to see but are NOT present:
Evan Peters as Peter/Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver
Michael Fassbinder/Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto
Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spiderman
Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine
Halle Berry as Storm
Paul Bettany as Vision
I will post another update about this later that has all the FF7 and FF8 references, or at least I think so.
Edit: BTW, forgot to add my ratings for this movie, as I mentioned there was a disappointing moment on this movie so overall, I will give this only 8 out 10 ratings 🙂

Good Day again!! It's been a while since i have made a post and that is due to lack of devices, I have been using a battered old phone that can't even do outgoing and even accept incoming calls or text... My mom already took a pity on me and decided to lent me some money to buy a new phone *FINALLY!!!!!!*
So I won't be doing the remaining MARVEL series (since there are already tons out there like from YT's New Rockstars)... But since I had been marathoning Dragon Ball (DB, Z, Super, Movies too), it made me remember the frustrating DBS moment that doesn't make sense that even Vegeta was SOOOOO DUMBFOUNDED in both manga and anime, that also makes us audiences raises the question "What the hell is going on here, Toriyama-sensei?" "Why did you do that?" So, I decided to dedicate a whole article about it, including the DB's timeline/parallel worlds (and what I meant by timeline, is something similar to Marvel's Sacred Timeline - not about their ages timeline since that is confusing because there was an original and a revise version) so DB fans can fully understand the DB's parallel worlds/alternate timelines. I'll probably throw in some info about their possible ages but overall, it'll all be that...

Falcon and Winter Soldier Episode 1 and 2 breakdown.
My oh My, Marvel is really giving us some sort of like a reality check in here. They added twists here that our current society are facing to hopefully “probably” teach us about our humanity as an individual.
In Episode 1, the series started out with Sam being on a mission in Tunisian Airspace to save Captain Vassant, who is now help hostage by LAF, there’s no reference to LAF in the comic, but here in MCU – it is describe as a criminal organization who is taking advantage of the commotion of the reverse blip in order to make profit. And here, Batroc makes his appearance once again after his first appearance in Captain America and Winter Soldier. Just a quick fact, Georges Batroc is portrayed by Georges St-Pierre, who not only shares his first name, but St-Pierre is a MMA Champion with a record of 28 matches of 26 wins and 2 losses, *woooot*, no wonder his moves are so fluid.
Moving on, Sam is now in Washington giving his speech as he surrenders Captain America’s shield, in which he believed will be put in the museum in honor and respect for Steve Rogers, but little did her know, there was a conspiracy behind it (which we’ll discuss later). James Rhodes still tried to talk some sense out of him, but Sam’s always reply with “It feels like it belongs to someone else. That someone else is Steve.” But let’s try to pay attention to what Rhodey say’s to him back.
World’s a crazy place right now. People are… Well, nobody’s stable. Allies are now enemies. Alliances are all torn apart. The world’s broken. Everybody is just looking for somebody to fix it.
It makes me think that Rhodey is specifically referring to Wanda when he said nobody is stable, not the people of the world specifically, because when we speak to someone, we know that everyone else are experiencing hardship, but we will always use someone as an example for the conversation, but on this case, they avoided referencing Wanda directly. Also the series takes place “months after the blip”, we don’t have the exact timeline yet, but we do know it takes place after WandaVision (two months earliest) and before Spider-Man Far From Home. So Rhodey receiving a report of Wanda’s actions, and Vision’s revival and Westview rampage is not impossible. The “Allies are now enemies. Alliances are all torn apart.” reference can have double meaning, considering what they did in WandaVision where they made the audience feel there’s more to that statement. But this can be an easter egg to Dr. Strange where they use the same tagged line for the movie prep while the alliances could referring to Avengers itself (though it already is, but they still considered that HQ as their home till Thanos destroyed it), S.H.I.E.L.D (we know this is not the same SHIELD of Nick Fury as he is now in space as hinted in SM:FFH), S.W.O.R.D (with Hayward abusing his authorities), and possibly the Sokovia Accords because of what Wanda and Vision did in Westview. But as I said, because of what Marvel did in WandaVision, in the end , they could probably just dismiss it as some government related stuff.
We now have Barnes who is reliving in his nightmares of the killing. Plate Number 10872 FQ is a reference to Marvel Comics called Introducing the New Captain America and Bucky that was publish in October 1987, where John Walker is now the new Captain America as shown at the end of the episode. Other think I actually like about Bucky’s therapy session was when the doctor asked for his phone, he is using a flip phone, not just any flip phones, looks like a AT&T Cingular Flip 2 (I guess it pays off learning about phones because I used to work for them, ahahaha), and since its year 2023-24 in this timeline, it’s quite fun to see this small detail done so perfectly because AT&T no longer service 2G signals since January 2017 (if I remember it correctly), to give way into 5G services. Anyway, this attention to detail about Bucky using a 4G flip phone is pretty amazing. And how am I guessing this is an AT&T phone? Well, in Infinity War, the phone Steve gave Tony is also another AT&T Flip Phone which I think is a Z223 (a 3G flip phone – not to be confused with Z222 which is a 2G version and both phones look identical). It’s quite funny actually that AT&T, who is the parent company of WarnerMedia (WB who owns DC) is very present here.
Then now we see Sam going back to his family whom he hasn’t visited for quite some time. Here he sees the struggle of his sister, and tried to offer his help. We can probably assume as per his behavior that when they go to the bank, their loan request will be approve because of his affiliations of saving the world and for being the Falcon, but reality check slapped him hard, the guy didn’t even bother listening to their plans and straight out denied their loan application – which was made clear in Episode 2 as to what the problem could actually be.
We now also see Bucky answering the set-up date Yori made for him with the woman name Leah, who works as a waitress at the Japanese Bar/Restaurant called Izzy. As their conversation proceeded, Bucky ran away to find Yori under the pretense of owing him his lunch, when in reality, it was his guilt of killing his son who became witness of his assassination.
Episode 1 ends by introducing the new Captain America, holding the shield Sam surrendered in the museum.
Episode 2 started with John Walker visiting his Alma Mater, Custer’s Grove High School. His full introduction even played Captain America’s theme song only re-arrange to match modern era. During his interview for GMA, he mentions that “I’m not Tony Stark, I’m not Doctor Banner, okay? I don’t have the flashiest gadgets, I don’t have super strength. But what I do have is guts.” Mentioning these lines could probably a way of him to get the sympathy of the people, by saying I’m not Tony Stark is like an indication that he doesn’t have the money, brains (to invent), or Iron Man suit that can make him powerful. By saying he’s not Doctor Banner, who have seven PhD’s and can transform himself into the Hulk, and debatable as the strongest Avenger, he can make almost like an assurance to the people that as an ordinary human, he have the guts to fight to the best of his abilities.
Bucky who is watching the whole interview, have a smirk on his face for disbelief and disappointment that his best friend’s shield is now in the hands of a wanna be. It then cuts to Sam who is also in disbelief that everywhere he go, he is seeing the face an unfamiliar guy wielding the shield that Cap gave him. He got ambushed by Bucky to told him he shouldn’t have surrendered the shield to which Sam replied “No, of course I didn’t know that was gonna happen. You think it didn’t break my heart to see them march him out there and call him the new Captain America?” – which I believe is his wholehearted feeling as he was cheated and betrayed by the government. But let us also pay attention to what Sam said after Bucky told him “This isn’t what Steve want.”
Oh my God. So what do you want me to do? Call America and tell ‘em I change my mind?
It’s easy to assume that the government and him probably had a conversation about becoming the new Captain America, but more than likely he declined, that’s why in Episode 1, Rhodey told him “I see you’re gonna make me ask. Why didn’t you take up the mantle?” Well, it’s probably more complex than his “It feels like it belongs to someone else.” –but we’ll talk about it in a bit.
I find it really funny about Bucky jumping off the plane feeling nervous, yelling even. I think the purpose of the director and writers are doing this is basically to give Bucky the opportunity or making the audiences feel that, even though he was an emotionless, robotic-like assassin, he can change and by including the rules his therapist gave him, can help him gain his humanity back.  
1.    Can’t do anything illegal.
2.    Nobody gets hurt.
3.    Unspoken (probably to introduce himself not as the Winter Soldier but Bucky Barnes or just simply smile). Dr Raynor only says that “The whole point of making amends is to fulfill rule number three.”
Also I really just wanna guess who those under 10 contact numbers are. We are sure its Dr. Rayner and Sam, I’m guessing it also has Steve’s old number, I wanna guess T’Challa too, so that’s four of them. Hmmmm, can’t really think of anybody else.
By the way, the SMILING thing. Right now, Bucky’s smiling is so unnatural, but even so, if he keeps on doing it, one day, he can smile naturally. And now we can also see him showing another kind of emotion, NERVOUSNESS – when he was about to jump down the plan. I'm pretty sure if he is his former Winter Soldier, he won’t even feel the slightest nervousness jumping off the plane, let alone landing gracefully, in contrast to here where he landed, let’s admit it, quite shamefully, even Torres will surely agree with me here. Then there's also the AGGRAVATION towards the new Captain America because of the shield. And the most important part of his humanity that’s resurfacing is his GUILT or CONSCIENCE, where his nightmare and Yori’s presence speaks very loudly.
While Bucky is stealthily walking, Sam references him as a White Panther, which is basically him being Caucasian and came back from his like rehabilitation in Wakanda, he has become like opposite of T’Challa’s Black Panther. And now Bucky corrects him by saying his new moniker is now White Wolf, a name that T’Challa bestowed on him (if not referred only).
Now for the action part, we get to witness once more Bucky’s Super Soldier ability by seeing how he outruns the second truck and catch up with the first truck, and these are 14-wheeler trucks (they’re scary in real life ahaha). Anyway, the battle began after the suspected hostage turns out to the head of the group, threw Bucky onto the windshield of the second truck, then pulled up by the other two members on top of the truck and John Walker and Lamar Hoskins joining them after.
I’m pretty sure STACKIE fans out there went nuts with a bit of that fan-service they did, when Falcon dive under the first truck on the way to the second truck to save Bucky, but I think the wings got caught on the ground making Sam loose his balance that’s why they went rollin’ on the yellow flower field – which looks like either chrysanthemum or daisy, which is in flower language, Yellow Daisy means a good friend while Yellow Chrysanthemum can mean neglect of love or sorrow. It actually looks more like daisy, it’s just that the leaves kind of looks like chrysanthemum… I could be wrong, but if it is daisy, then putting a yellow daisy here will be could actually mean that a good friendship is about to start and the chrysanthemum could mean their sorrow stemming from Steve and living up to his expectations.
We now have Bucky and Sam being invited by John and Lamar to ride with them on their jeep stating that it’s about 20miles to the airport and they need a ride. After joining them on the jeep, we now can see finally having a proper conversation. But we can see that Sam actually have to asked them twice about what are they doing there, they have successfully avoided the first time by stating that they checked their location thru Red Wing and on the second time, Lemar responded with “Well, they provide the resources and we keep things stable.” Then John followed it with “Yeah, violent revolutionaries aren’t usually good for anyone’s cause.” –which from my understanding, still doesn’t answer Sam’s question, that why Sam sarcastically responded with “Usually said by the people with the resources.” Then now John offered the two to join them, in which Bucky frankly declined, the Lemar tried to rub salt on their wound by saying their asses were getting kicked till they show up, that starts to tick off Bucky, until he mentions he’s called Battlestar, which pissed Bucky off even further. I’m not really sure why he got pissed after hearing that, but I’m guessing (yes, guessing, meaning I'm not sure) that the reason he got pissed was because Lemar have a hero name, pretty much like Bucky being the Winter Soldier/White Wolf and Sam being the Falcon, and of course Steve being the true Captain America, Bucky probably felt insulted that not only America made a new Captain America, they even gave him a side kick with a hero name.
Bucky got off the jeep first then John apologizing to Sam by saying he’s not Steve and is not trying be like him, but trying to be a Captain America in his own way. Sam left the jeep as well after he felt insulted when John wanted Sam and Bucky, who are Steve’s best friend and partners, to be his wingmen. John clearly have no idea of what their relationship really is and calling them Steve’s wingmen rather than Steve’s friend or partner, but he used wingmen, that John interprets as they are just someone that supports Steve, he’s clearly belittling them, that’s why Sam scoffs and responded with “It’s always that last line.”
We now see the Flagsmashers arriving on a place of one their group’s supporters to get some rest. Their leader Karli received a text message saying “You took what’s mine. I’m going to find you and kill you.” –which I think is a message from John Walker. Because in the comics, John became like a super soldier from Powerbroker, and in here, we can probably theorized that the real reason he is in Munich is to get his hand on the serum but Karli stole it from him before he could get his hands on it.
We now have Sam and Bucky on military plane and Bucky telling Sam that they should take the shield back, in which Sam told they can’t do it just like that cause the last time they did (also in Germany), Sharon – Peggy’s niece who was also a CIA, helped Steve and Sam get their weapons back (shield and wings before the airport battle in Civil War), then they went on hiding until Thanos came, and Bucky was taken in by T’Challa to cure him at Wakanda. Sharon was punished for her actions, and she will be making her appearance any time soon since the ED also have her picture included but her name is not yet present since she hasn’t made any appearance yet.
Bucky brought Sam to Baltimore, MD to meet the Black Super Soldier, Isaiah Bradley. As they walk thru the neighborhood on the way to Isaiah’s house , looks like the show have already hinted what’s about to come in the future. The kid upon being introduced called Sam the Black Falcon, instead of just simply the Falcon. Sam played with the kid by asking him “Is it because I’m black and I'm the Falcon?” and the kid confusedly replied with “Well, technically, I mean, yes.” Then Sam playfully responded with “So are you, like, Black kid?” and they started laughing it off. But if you look at it from a different perspective, it is kind of like the premonition, because within their conversation, it can only be done by them, because if a white person actually say that phrase? I’m pretty sure, that laugh in the end will not be present. There’s more to it but I’ll discuss it after.
Sam and Bucky arrived at Isaiah’s house, and Bucky introduced him to Sam by saying “He was a hero. One of the ones that HYDRA feared the most, like Steve.” As their conversation proceeded, Isaiah explained that others like him that were sent in Goyang never came back, so the military sent him to deal with Bucky and he won that battle. But instead of being celebrated as a hero, the military or government decided to brand him and put him in jail for 30 years. I’m not gonna use his comic s counterpart since MCU have their own story retelling. But as I mentioned before, it’s a premonition.
Then Bucky and Sam left the house and Sam feeling a bit frustrated due to disbelief that other than Bucky and Steve, there’s another Super Soldier still alive for decades. Then here comes a bit of reality check in America. A patrolling police catches them having an argument. Soon after, the police asked for Sam’s ID but didn’t asked for Bucky’s but instead asked Bucky if this man is bothering him. Now this is actually quite a very, very good reality check and I applaud the Malcolm Spellman and Kari Skogland for putting this kind of a wakeup call here. These scene or event is very powerful and it mirrors the reality of the black community experiencing the racial profiling from the police brutality in America. We can also see the house behind Sam that says STOP THE VIOLENCE, then on board beside it reads words like, HEAL THE SICK, STOP KILLING, PLANT A SEED, LOVE, TRUST. It was not until Bucky dropped the hint by saying “Do you know who this is?” and one of the police recognizing them as the Avengers and the police stared at Sam for bit and realized its Sam Wilson aka the Falcon and started apologizing by saying he didn’t recognized him since he isn’t wearing his goggles. With the police instead of just letting it go, still tried to look for a loophole, but sadly the loophole is not with Sam, but with Bucky, who missed his therapy session because of going with Sam on Munich then to Baltimore.
We now see Bucky being released thru John Walker’s authority and Dr. Raynor summoning both of them for a therapy session. The scene started out quite funny but later on, it hit hard again. Dr. Raynor asked Bucky why Sam aggravates him.
Bucky: Why did you gave up that shield?
Sam: Why are you making such a big deal out of something that has nothing to do with you?
Bucky: Steve believed in you. He trusted you. He gave you that shield for a reason. That shield, that is… that is everything he stood for. That is his legacy. He gave you that shield, and you threw it away like it was nothing.
Sam: Shut up.
Bucky: … So maybe he was wrong about you. And if he was wrong about you, then he was wrong about me.
Sam: You finished?
Bucky: Yeah.
Sam: All right, good. Maybe this is something you or Steve will never understand. But can you accept that I did what I thought was right?
         We can now also see that before Bucky leaves, it dropped yet another hint of what’s about to happen by asking his doctor, “What was rule number two again?” which is more likely will be broken and even Dr Raynor acknowledges that it will.
         I’ll skip John Walker scene, and now we have Karli loadingthe plane with their Super Soldier serum supply. When a member of Flagsmashers stay behind to delay the Power Broker’s, one of Power Broker’s men who is seen wearing a bullet proof vest was seen talking over the phone saying “They got away.” whom I think he’s reporting to John Walker.
         Now let jump back with Sam and Bucky. Sam asked Bucky what he’s thinking, Bucky responded with “When Isaiah said my people”… Sam understood that when he said “my people” – meaning white people that’s why Sam said “Oh, don’t take it to heart. That’s not what he meant.” To which Bucky corrected him saying “No, he meant HYDRA. HYDRA used to be my people.” And now they are off to see Zemo and now we see Zemo inside his cell.
 Pheewwwwww, that’s a long post… ahahaha, see you on the next one, still working with Snyder Cut but im still considering of I should post it or not, after all, so many groups out there already made a video and article out it…but we’ll see…

Zack Snyder's Justice League
I am currently 2 hours into movie and I am so loving it. Everything that doesn't make sense in the first version, all makes sense now. I will do a review of this movie later on and my gosh, one thing I can say, so many savage moments here, when I say savage moment, I mean Justice League is straight out mocking Marvel (*crazy laugh*)... so many quotes to reference MARVEL... oh my dear, I so love this. WB is really effed up if they don’t plan to follow Zack Snyder vision for DCEU, but I will discuss it on a separate post. 
Edit: I finished the movie, and damn I am so unsatisfied, not in a bad way though. Its so good and so much damn better than the first one because it has more depth in it, which makes the movie so satisfyingly good. What I find unsatisfying is that I want a sequel, and I am sure for those who have seen it will want one as well. The movie ended open to a probable sequel because it answered a few of the BVS questions and initiated new questions that can only be answered in the sequel... the other reason why its unsatisfying is because of the possibility of rebooting the whole thing and we won’t get the sequel to this one. But overall, the movie is so damn good, so I might be posting the review on Friday or Saturday at most, just enough leeway to those who have not seen it yet since it will definitely contain spoilers. And I need to re-watch it again and this time take note of every savage moments they did referencing about the Avengers, I really laugh so hard when I heard those, I was like, isn’t that about Dr. Strange? Isn’t that about QuickSilver? Am I mistaking something here? Am I over reading this? Then ooppss nope, that is a straight out Steve Rogers reference...it’s so hilarious that this movie is really straight out mocking Marvel.

Pietro, no Fietro could still possibly be Peter from X-Men Universe… Maybe?
So as revealed in Episode 9 of WandaVision, the identity of Fietro is none other than Ralph Bohner, the husband Agness always mention, and a possible real resident of Westview. WV director Matt Shakman already clarified that the “Bohner” is actually a reference to his 80’s sitcom Growing Pains. But for many fans of Evan Peters, this “Bohner” joke didn’t play well and at the same time, let us breakdown everything that is wrong with this identity of Ralph Bohner and why he’s suspicious despite the claim of WandaVision writers/director that Evan Peters has nothing to do with the mutants or X-Men Universe, after all they always deny everything. They even mentioned that they had no idea that Evan Peters appearance will cause so many theories and everything, which I highly doubt, I mean come on, they made him play QuickSilver in WandaVision when he is QuickSilver himself only of another universe. I don’t dissed ATJ, I love this guy too from his Kickass, Godzilla movie (this is where I first encounter ATJ before his QS role in Avengers), but as a QS, Evan Peters top him, on my opinion at least, he even has his own QS commercials. Also, Evan Peters have more cool QS moments, the Kitchen scene VS the Age of Ultron overall, at least for me, I prefer the kitchen scene and the whiplash part. Anyhow, let us begin:
 Note: I edited this post to make this article more easier to read and added additional info.
1. Speculations roaming around that Ralph Bohner could be an aspiring actor because the picture is actually his headshot (which actually looks like his earlier AHS photos). I’m not going to debunk this possibility, but I do not believe it’s a headshot nor he’s an aspiring actor. Although true enough, the image does looks like of Evan Peters early AHS photos (kind of like Tate Langdon) – which is probably a reference to that, who knows.
2. The pile of papers on the side table. It is questionable why would your papers, a bill (a very old bill even - not folded or inside one of those envelopes) and your photos in plain sight where Monica – an outsider can see it? Almost as if you planned it all along and he wanted Monica to see it.
3. Necromancy vs Crystallum Possession. Necromancy is a dark arts of when the person (the Necromancer) can manipulate the dead body of the person, or summoning their spirit. Crystallum Possession however is also part of the dark arts but this time you are using an object (like crystals, gems, stones etc) that is embodied with the user’s spells to manipulate the wearer.
Agatha had told Wanda that what she does is a crystallum possession since necromancy is a no-no due to his brother’s body is on another continent, and since this Pietro died in 2014, it should now be bones, I think the “full of holes” remark is nothing more than a mocking remark, because if it’s not, then Marvel will probably have their own interpretation of Necromancy and Crystallum Possession, and this could probably go darker. And Ralph is wearing a bead necklace that is embedded with Agatha’s power. But is Agatha really in full control of Ralph? Honestly, I don’t think so. Why? Because in Episode 6, Peter said about Wanda’s costume “Worse than the costume mom made us the year we got typhus”, then she reminisced “that year”, and told him  “That’s not exactly how I remember it.” because in her universe, she isn’t wearing Halloween costume she thinks is worse and she didn’t deny about them getting typhus, so what are the odds of Agatha/Fietro getting that info if he is not Peter? Also, we don’t know how MARVEL will tell the story multiverse/alternate timelines (the Russo Brothers already claimed that they have their own way of telling this story), but if we are looking for a one generic rule, major life events will occur but will be told uniquely as per their universe, on this case Peter and Wanda did had a typhus, but in Peter’s world, his Wanda and him are probably wearing whatever cosplay outfit their mom made and in Wanda and Pietro are just wearing something simple, or it could be that Peter really just have a weird sense of style.
4. The WATER BILL. Now, this is a real bill, it is not part of Wanda’s illusion, this is Ralph’s actual water bill, because Ralph’s house was under Agatha’s spell, which makes it exempted from Wanda’s spell.  Also, if you go frame by frame, you can actually see the word “Water”, “PAST DUE” on the right column part of the bill, before it totally goes out of focus and you can only read the left side part, that also says “YOUR MONTHLY USAGE (1,000 GAL INCREMENTS)”, which further validates it’s a water bill, not a phone bill nor electricity bill as others actually claim. And here is the tricky part, the bill’s date. On the right side under the STATEMENT is the Account Information (using Arial font), it’s a bit hard to make out of it, but it’s actually an old bill. Before it becomes totally blurry, you can read the right part of the bill that says:
STATEMENT
ACCOUNT INFORMATION
ACCOUNT:                      09-3476-12
SERVICE ADDRESS:     2804 SHERWOOD DRIVE
BILL DATE:                     10/01/2020
DUE DATE:                     10/31/2020
If we go back to Infinity War, it takes place in June 2018. So that means that this Ralph Bohner survived the SNAP, but what could happen to him in year 2019-2020? Who knows, I don’t even know if I should care or not.
If we check on the usage chart – which is “not blurred” (it’s also in increments of 12 – 12/24/36/48/60), and I’ll just speculate on the numbers on the meter chart, so don’t take my word for it. Also, I don’t know what Marvel is planning or hinting by showing this insignificant 2020 bill, which also has confusing usage. (I’ll just use term like pcm – per cubic meter, so that it won’t just be plain numbers beside the month).
January - 6 pcm
February – 18 pcm
March – 6 pcm
April – 6 pcm
June – 6 pcm
July – 9 pcm
August – 13 pcm
September – 22 pcm
October – 34 pcm
(November and December have gray shade - similar to the one in month of Jan-May).
Again, I don’t know what’s the significance of not blurring this part of the bill while the right side column is properly blurred. And the confusing part of this bill, is the bill date is of 10/01/2020 – meaning Ralph had received this bill during the first week of October, but why is there already a usage for the full month of October, when usage should be only show up to the month of September? After the Account Information, there’s the
METER INFORMATION (WATER)
USAGE   PREVIOUS   DATE      CURRENT       DATE
4             1963 (?)        09/01/20      *- - - -*          *- - - -*
The PREVIOUS actually looks like either 1063 or 1963, and oddly enough the first Avengers Comics was published on September 1, 1963, I don’t know if that’s a reference to that, but from my pov, it shouldn’t be because this series is inspired of House of M and a bit touch of West Coast Avengers, which was already reference by the SUV plate number in Episode 7. The CURRENT and DATE are both unreadable, I can only identify _ _ _ 2 in CURRENT and 0_/_ _/20 for the DATE after.
And let’s also not forget that outside the HEX, it is August 2023 and as per Episode 8, inside the HEX is currently year 2013 as shown in the auditorium behind the lighting after it explained how Wanda created Vision. I don’t know if this is a reference to something from the past MCU projects (X-Men even) or future franchise like Falcon and Winter Soldier, who knows, really. I just find it weird why they didn’t blurry the meter chart while the rest are. But why year 2020? Why isn’t this bill thrown out yet? Didn’t Monica notice that billing date of the bill?
5. The man-cave. The staff really transformed Fietro’s man-cave into very, very Peter-like (if he really is not Peter). I will list thing that are present and similar to what Peter of X-Men Universe room have. I’ll reference * (single asterisk) for Days of Future Past, ** (double asterisk) for Apocalypse, and *** (triple asterisk) for both films.
❀ comfortable couch***
❀ guitar*** 
❀ headphones***
❀ balls*
❀ lots of posters***
❀ bike***
❀ a bar**
❀ shoes on the floor**
❀ different types of drinks (non alcoholic)***
Also, lots of silver/metallic items such as:
❀ silver lamp**
❀ silver TV
❀ silver house ventilation tubes
❀ silver pillowcases (looks gray on other angles)
❀ silver mini fridge
❀ silver microwave oven
❀ silver rack (where TV and speaker stands)    
❀ silver wristwatch*
❀ video games*** (both PS & XBox)
and even something that looks like a stolen goods like the Tiki Bar plaque, Tiger head.
This Fietro is basically just missing the goggles, I did my best to look for it (like on those detective games that instructs you to find this and that *lol*), but there’s really none *laugh*. Also, I just noticed the arrangement of his man-cave – single-seat couch** > small side table with a lamp** > 3-seater couch (the Apocalypse has an L-shape couch though) > a middle coffee table**, this arrangement is similar to Peter’s man-cave in Apocalypse which can be slightly seen when his mom came down saying “Just checking on you” (you can watch it at starting point 1:02:55, at least on my copy), you just need to look for proper timing because a few of those shots are out of focus probably due to her obviously looking somewhere reading her lines that are raised besides the camera, which became even more obvious  when she did a close up shot when she told him “But trust me, this won’t end well. Nothing does with him.” 
Also, in Episode 5, when Peter first made an appearance, the leather jacket he’s wearing is eerily similar to the one he’s wearing in his cameo appearance in Deadpool 2 (we only got the glimpse of the front of the jacket in Deadpool but the front side of his jacket in WandaVision is identical). Though I find it weird too that his hair color switch from silver to light ash blonde.
6. Ralph is the guy under witness protection? I doubt it, although honestly at first I considered maybe he is, but after a few thinking, it doesn’t lead to it, because if he’s in witness protection, and the person who is managing him forgets him because of Wanda, FBI database should still at least have a photo of him to be able to identify him, and Jimmy in episode 7 saw Peter and never commented about him being their missing guy. As we all know, the house is under the name Ralph Bohner, who we can assume survived the SNAP and possibly left that house in September 2020. If he had left the house way back in 2020, why does Agent Woo or FBI rather only checked it now? Also, if Ralph Boner is indeed the guy under witness protection, it is the FBI that pays off their bill, on this case, the Water Bill was past due even if it was an old bill, so I don’t think he is.
7. Does Ralph Boner really exist? This is actually something that I have given some thought. Because if we think of QuickSilver, one of his abilities as per comics is his Quick Intelligence. His mind process a lot of things much faster than an average person. Peter spying on everyone and pretending to be someone else in an unknown world is not surprising, let alone using everything he can take advantage of. It can be that the bill is fake and there is really no Ralph Bohner, or just like what I mentioned in #7, he could’ve possibly left in September 2020 and hasn’t returned yet, and Peter assumes this identity to avoid suspicion.
If we are to assume he really is Peter Maximoff of X-Men Universe (Earth-TRN414) and crossed over to Earth-616, I did consider this could also be the house where he lives as per his universe and just so happens that Ralph Bohner is the current owner of the house in this MCU. Also, Xavier Institute is located in NY and in Days of Future Past, they only drove from NY to his house via rental car, which we can assume that he doesn’t live that far from NY, after all NY and NJ are neighbors.
8. Also this has nothing to do with Ralph/Fietro, but something I noticed, that the outside anomaly or outside of Westview – about the selective amnesia has yet to be answered. It only explained that Wanda is manipulating the people INSIDE, but not the ones outside the HEX. What actually come to mind when I think about it is that it can be a work by a TELEPATH which can be either Charles Xavier or Emma Frost (no Jean Grey? Yes I excluded her). What I am actually thinking is that the person under witness protection is a spy sent by Charles or possibly working with him. He could have implanted false memory to the so called “family and friends”, so when the HEX was established, the strings got cut off hence no one could remember this “missing person” anymore, and Jimmy who has nothing to do with this “missing person” is not affected by the selective amnesia and assumes the responsibility of looking for him. And assuming Charles is the telepath who altered their memories of the people outside of Westview, he probably has done it as a precaution since he couldn’t contact his spy or “missing person” and wouldn’t take the risk of endangering the resident who were happened to be outside the HEX when Wanda establishes it.
These are just some of the things I find that doesn’t make sense with Ralph’s identity. But we’ll just leave it at that. I still really want James McAvoy back as Charles Xavier and Michael Fassbender as Magneto, since both Sir Ian McKKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart did mention they’re done with their role. And I feel that it’s too risky to use them since they are in their 80’s now, I don’t know them personally but it gives me some sorts of paranoia *laughs* thinking they might get injured.

WandaVision Finale
Good Day everyone and sorry for the very late post. I was so stupefied with the finale with what Marvel did to Evan Peters *laugh crazily* and I am actually not also physically okay. 
First and foremost, Congratulations to Elizabeth Olsen for portraying and showcasing a wonderful interpretation of Wanda Maximoff, absolutely wonderful. She had displayed Wanda’s grief very emotionally and I have to admit it made cry, both Episode 8 and Episode 9 are tear jerker episodes. And so far, the remaining unconfirmed leaks are now proven untrue. I’m not gonna tackle what happened in the finale since so many people have already done it. Though I might do The Falcon and the Winter Soldier too, hopefully be able to update as early as before Saturday if not Saturday itself.
I will be discussing on my next post instead about Even Peter’s role Fietro instead.

WV Episode 8
I apologize for late post since I wasn’t feeling well these past few days (migraine all the time) and my oh my is this Episode 8 of WandadVision and we finally have a breakdown of what is really happening in this world and how it all started, and this episode is definitely heartbreaking.
But first let’s breakdown the “Plot Leak” errors. Honestly, it was good at first as it got many things right, but now that we have seen Episode 8, many came out in errors, so let’s start:
1. Wanda is a SWORD agent after Endgame which you might already know includes Darcy, Jimmy Woo and Monica Rambeau.
3. Wanda was sent to investigate as a SWORD agent..but she was also a part of the team to keep check on her.
5. Wanda came in contact with Mysterio who allowed her to gain Vision back and live a peaceful life – based on sitcoms she used to watch as a kid.
10. Kathryn Hahn's Agnes is Agtha Harkess. She was a witch who was given away by her son (I'm not sure if her son will appear onscreen or not) and was burnt alive.
15. Sword has a special device which was implanted on Wanda before she was sent. Essentially the events going on are being translated by her subconscious as a sitcom which can be seen by Sword agents (like Darcy) who are confused about what's happening with Wanda.
19. Wanda slowly starts remembering a few people of the outside world (including her brother). She is trying to figure out if she had a sibling herself, finding it weird why she wouldn't remember him.
23. Quicksilver returns played by Aaron. However the presence of a real dead dude starts breaking the illusion.
26. There will be a rerun of all the sitcom episodes. Wanda will break out from her illusion midway in the show to her actual living room in her subconscious.
34. There are flashbacks of Wanda's life. A lot of which are seen by Darcy who tries to understand the extent of her trauma.
 ❀So this time, we got approximately about 10 errors, which are a lot in a single episode. So we learned that Wanda never became an Agent of Sword and was never sent on a mission to investigate anything at all. She never had any contact to neither Mysterio nor Mephisto. Agatha’s son was not introduce but instead it was her mother who was giving her judgment and her “son” was never reference even, and she is being punished for practicing the dark arts and is not being burned alive like that traditional witch hunt, her fellow witches used their powers on her to try and kill her but instead, she sucked up their powers to make it her own. Though her long life is yet to be explain (in comics, it was depicted she lived on earth since around 10,500 BC).
As also depicted, Wanda just simply came to S.W.O.R.D’s HQ not to steal Vision’s body, but retrieve it and give him a proper burial but Hayward declined stating he’s too expensive to be buried underground. We are now Episode away from the finale and ATJ appearing seems to be not happening considering Agatha mentions “Necromancy was a non-starter since your real brother’s body is on another continent. Not to mention, full of holes.”We’ll discuss this part separately.
#26 and #34 this time is half correct and half wrong. Agatha said “It’s time to look at some real re-runs.” which pertains to going to Wanda’s memory, and not the sitcoms exactly, and Darcy is not present to witness her past.
So now let’s discussed the take aways on this episode as there’s a lot of references/easter eggs in this episode.
 The episode started out in year 1693 on Salem Massachusetts Witch Trial with Agatha being taken away because she has become a traitor and betrayed the coven because she started practicing the dark arts. Now, we know from Dr Strange that the Ancient One also lived a long life by casting a dark magic upon herself and feed off from the Dark Dimension, so Agatha doing the same to live a long life can also be of the same possibility. We should also take note how Agatha talk to Wanda about how all this started. Agatha uses a tone as if Wanda is trespassing on her territory, when Wanda asking “Who are you?” then Agatha throws back her question “Who ARE you?!”, not implying about her personally but rather her true self (the Scarlet Witch). Agatha implied about her being patient waiting for Wanda to acknowledge on her own the world she created. She also mentioned that Pietro is not really her doing by saying “No, it wasn’t literally me, just my eyes and ears. A crystalline possession.” And also by saying the real Pietro’s body is on a different continent with body full of holes, that even necromancy cannot be an option.
One of 4chan users  has leaked that this Pietro was summoned similarly to how Vision was created. If this is “true”, then this what Peter meant when he said “Details are fuzzy, man. I got shot like a chump on the street for no reason at all and the next thing I know, I heard you calling me. I knew you needed me.” in episode 6, meaning he was probably running as usual then a power hit her (I explained that on previous post so feel free to back read). Also, I forgot to mention before that one Peter’s early conversation with Wanda, on Episode 5, he didn’t know who Vision was, in fact he asked her “Who’s the popsicle?”, when in fact Pietro was one of the people who retrieve Vision’s body in Age of Ultron, fought alongside too, so for him not to know Vision is already somewhat suspicious. Then on Episode 6, Peter said that Wanda’s costume is worse than the one they were wore during the year they got typhus. So let’s discuss about that.
One general rule when it comes to alternate reality/dimension is, 1.  Events will still occur, only told differently and uniquely as per their own universe. Second, family tree remains the same, example if Mother #1 is married to Father #1, then they will have Offspring #1 and Offspring #2, but IF on another reality Mother1 is married to Father2, then their offspring will be Offspring #3, because Offspring #1 & #2 will not exists on that 2nd reality, which supposedly a “a very, very rare” occurrence, similar to what Dr Strange said on Infinity War were they only won one battle out of 14,000,605. So if, okay, an IF, Marvel followed this general rule of alternate reality/dimension, both Peter (X-Men Universe) and Wanda (MCU) are still siblings, only that they are of different world. That is why Wanda’s response during that conversation was “That’s not exactly how I remember it.” Because the events of both of them getting typhus and had their costume made by their mom did occur (after all Peter & his siblings were raised by their mom alone, Magneto is busy busy busy *lol*), only that they are told differently.  As I have mentioned before in my earlier post, Peter being eldest and have 2 younger sister (Wanda & unnamed girl) and the movie kind of implied he has a sister complex, he is probably the only Pietro among other realities that answered Wanda’s calling, after all, it is said that twins always have unspeakable/unique type of bond that even science cannot explain. Since Pietro’s MCU is dead, and the rules of necromancy can no longer apply to him (1 necromancy rule is that the body needs to be preserved) and it is approximately 9 years since since Pietro died in this timeline, and “possibly”, Peter is the only Pietro alive in alternate reality/multiverse, who knows.
I also forgot to add this another detail about this Pietro’s similarities to Peter was that he was also wearing a silver stainless steel watch as seen in X-Men Days of Future Past (he’s wearing a different watch in Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix), and he snorts a lot like Peter.
But come on MARVEL, why cast EVAN PETERS if he won’t be Quicksilver? I’m sure this will enrage Even Peters’ fans, including me (*laugh* I love this guy since X-Men Apocalypse and American Horror Story), and it will be infuriating if he won’t be Quicksilver here, no offense to ATJ fans, but I prefer Evan as QS.
Okay, let go back to WandaVision. We now also have a few of the list of the sitcoms Wanda used to watched, among them are:
I Love Lucy – 1951-1957 || The Dick Van Dyke Show 1961-1967 || Adam’s Family – 1964-1966 || Bewitched – 1964-1972 || I Dream of Jeannie 1965–1970 || Who’s the Boss – 1984-1992  || Malcolm in the Middle – 200-2006.
It also broke down her major traumas which are hidden away in the commercial breaks of the sitcom. It’s confirmed that:
1. During the oven toaster cm on Episode 1- the beeping sound came from the bomb that they watched for 2 days.
2. Episode 2 has the Strucker Watch and Episode 3 with the Hydra Soap – this shows here how she volunteered for Hydra’s experimentation and the Mind Stone gave her Scarlet Witch vision and awakened her X Gene.
3. Episode 5 with Lagos Paper Towel – we now see here Wanda watching Malcolm in the Middle while she’s locked up in Avengers HQ (after she messed up in CA Civil War), and this is where she found comfort with Vision.
4. Episode 6 with the animation of Yo-Magic (Yogurt) – this could’ve have been triggered by Hayward implanting an idea to Wanda by saying “Not everyone has the kind of power that could bring their soulmate back online. Forgive me, back to life.” And exactly as what Agatha was suspecting, she told Wanda “Parent’s dead, brother dead, Vision dead. What happened when he wasn’t there to pull you back from the darkness, Wanda?
5. Episode 7 with Nexus medicine. Now this is not just about Wanda’s depression about Vision purchasing a lot where he was hoping he and Wanda can grow old together, but not happening anymore. Nexus on the other hand is still unknown because we don’t know if this is pertaining to Wanda being a Nexus Being or about Nexus of All Reality, after all, the word NEXUS was first introduced in Age of Ultron as an Internet exchange point located in Oslo, Norway, so I was thinking maybe the word Nexus represents Ultron, but who knows.
Final Episode in just 2 more nights and I’m excited to see who is the special person who’ll make an appearance as per Paul Bettany say. Many speculates its Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Patrick Stewart reprising their respective roles, to Mark Hamill as Nightmare even. Finally, all the frustrations will have a little closure, not full since WandaVision is a prequel Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness.

Deciphering Peter’s conversation with Wanda
1. Wanda tried to test Peter by asking him about the name of the boy that has a skin problem who always steal his shoes to which Peter counter “You’re testing me.” And has successfully divert the conversation by telling her “I know I look different.” Wanda do feel his brother is not the same brother she remembers. That even us viewers wonder why Peter and not Pietro is present? Though I do have a theory about that and talk about below.
2.  “I'm just trying to do my part, okay? Come to town unexpectedly, create tension with the brother-in-law, stir up trouble with the rugrats, and ultimately give you grief. I mean, that's what you wanted, isn't it?” For these sentences, it kind of look like someone is speaking for him (like he’s possessed). Peter gave off the ‘mischievous elder brother’ or possibly has a sister complex as seen X-Men Days of Future Past. If this is really him, giving Wanda a grief will definitely be the last thing he’ll do, pranking her? Maybe, like what he did when Vision left the house and sneak up on her back on Episode 6.
3. Peter said “Details are fuzzy, man. I got shot like a chump on the street for no reason at all and the next thing I know, I heard you calling me. I knew you needed me.” And Wanda has a confused look on her face. Also, If we go on FANDOM, Wanda’s profile has been updated and one of the updates the user add was “He told her that he heard her calling him after he was shot by Ultron, and that he knew she needed him.” First of all, whoever made an update, none of Peter’s words mentioned Ultron, and didn’t imply Ultron as well, second Pietro was not shot for no reason at all, Ultron was firing bullets from Quinjet and Pietro have to save Hawkeye and the kid he’s holding, Peter on the other hand phrase it as “no reason at all”, so I don’t believe it’s anything related to Ultron.
Let’s translate what Peter just said, “I got shot like a chump on the street” – if we are to simplify this sentence, he could meant he’s running (as usual) on the street and got knocked down because he’s an easy target (after all, chump means a foolish or easily deceived person), or someone stopped him from running then he was hit by something, then when he’s trying to understand what happened, he can hear in his head his sister calling him, in probably mournful voice because he claimed “I knew you needed me.” Because before he appeared, when Wanda mentions Pietro (in past tense), she was still smiling, almost indicating she was able to move on from his passing, then when was asked by Tommy if Wanda have a brother, she now spoke of him in present tense “He’s far away from here, and that makes me sad sometimes.” – this could probably be what he meant when he say “I heard you calling me. I knew you needed me.” Because Wanda is now reminiscing the Pietro, and could possibly be now in denial with him and she wants to see him. We don’t know what’s going on in X-Men Universe and hell Earth-616 is one confusing world. Retelling it here in MCU that X-Men could probably be from different multiverse will make it less confusing as well.
Also Wanda was not officially introduced in X-Men Universe, but on the delete scene of Days of Future Past, Ms Maximoff (their mom) said to her youngest “Go upstairs and bug your sister”, implying (and confirmed by the director) that the “sister” is Wanda and she does exists in X-Men world, Peter being the eldest of the siblings, have a big brotherly love for his younger siblings so he easily got brainwashed and was summoned to Earth 616, we can only theorize that Mephisto discovered him as he was travelling thru the multiverse (as per his comics abilities), discovered Wanda and Pietro. Who knows if Wanda of X-Men Universe is alive or dead, but we can try and think, why this Wanda? If Mephisto has the ability to travel to the multiverse, he can chose Wanda of other multiverse too. Is it because of her involvement with the Infinity Stone? So this Wanda is so special because she is able to mother twins without a man’s help? We just have to wait for 2 more episodes for answers.
Also on top of Wanda not being introduce X-Men Universe, FOX changed Pietro’s name to Peter because MCU is also introducing another Pietro, but in MCU, they killed Pietro, this is probably due to copyrights restrictions (between Disney and FOX) because both Pietro and Wanda can appear on both franchise with some restrictions, which makes sense why there’s only Wanda in MCU and only Peter in X-Men World to avoid referencing the restrictions due to legal rights. Now that the Multiverse is being introduced, they can now cross Peter from X-Men World to MCU as a mutant (vice versa) and can also be referred to as Magneto’s children since the restrictions have been lifted. Although another possibility that the MCU killed Pietro is because MCU and FOX already planned ahead for a possible future Multiverse since way back, once the First Generation of Avengers retires (Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, etc.), that is possibly the time they can introduce the mutants. Because if the First Generation is still present when the Mutants arrive, it could destroy the balance of the super heroes line up and the MCU might become a trash of super hero franchise, which of course they won’t want that to happen. By killing Pietro on the other hand, can actually be both a risk and advantage. MCU’s researchers have definitely done their job well and study other products that involved alternate dimension/reality/timeline. In my point of view (as an otaku), when I watched these type of anime with alternate dimensions/reality/timeline, it does feel weird especially if the character meets her/her counterpart, like in Dual!! Parallel Trouble Adventure where both Mitsuki have actually met (I only remember parts of the story, so I won’t go deeper into this), the awkwardness is kind of hard to watch… So killing Pietro might’ve been the best decision, because keeping both characters and later meets up will not only cause awkwardness but the viewers might also find it weird. With no offense to ATJ but unlike his, Evan Peters’ QS have more cool scenes, his running in the kitchen is definitely a big wow, Age of Ultron didn’t showcase much any cool moves, we do see the slow motions around him and his afterimage, but the kitchen scene looks way more cooler, and personally for me, I find his break in Magneto scene (the glass shattering and escaping the guards) much more satisfying than anything...
Evan Peters could’ve also been given instructions by FOX of him possibly appearing/joining the MCU in the future because in an interview with the X-Men Apocalypse cast on MTV After Hours, Peter (Evan Peters) comment to Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) “Just because you wear shades, doesn’t make you cool.” In which Cyclops responded with “Just because your name is Quicksilver, doesn’t make you an Avenger.” And Peter responded back with “You know, legally I’m not able to respond to that.” Also during Dark Phoenix interviews, Evan Peters was nervous yet silently freaking out, almost like Tom Holland trying to  avoid telling anything. In the interview with New Trailer Buzz, Evan Peters was ask  to say the first thing that come to his mind like Wolverine = claws, Marvel = X-Men, Magneto = metal, Charles Xavier = wheelchair, then when as SCARLET WITCH – he pause and almost choke and said nervously “okay” and started to laugh, then was asked about cross-over and he responded with sweet, although compared to his previous answers where it only took less than 1sec to respond, the word SCARLET WITCH and CROSS-OVER definitely gave him a scare as he was probably be in talks but is of course not allowed to disclose.
If we think about it back then, we can probably just dismissed it as part of the restrictions between Disney and FOX, but Kevin Feige did mention before that everything is plan even up to 5 years, and X-Men to be in talks for the future multiverse is not impossible and of course they will not disclose that information (to actors let alone media), and what are the odds of killing Pietro in MCU and not introducing Wanda in X-Men.
 I will wait for Episode 8 for the next WandaVision update ‘cause it really hard to assume.

WandaVision Pt2
Let’s continue where we let off..
So far, 14 out of these 42 leaks are confirmed, 2 slight errors and the rest are inconclusive since there are still 2 more episodes remaining. Let’s start with the 2 errors first (since there are only two of them).
17. Monica would try to help Wanda realize the truth after getting her conscious back, but Wanda will get pissed off when she says her Vision isn't real and will throw her away from the town (to the outside world) using her powers.
The slight error on this one is that the event didn’t occur on same event and episode even. Monica was indeed under the HEX spell but is not fully brainwashed because she mentions about Ultron killing Pietro (not Vision) that’s why she was thrown out of the HEX by Wanda, and this was on Episode 3. Making Wanda realize the truth was on Episode 7 after Monica returned inside the HEX and she’s making her accept the reality that Vision is dead, not he’s not real, and this time, Wanda was unable to kick her out because Monica has activated her powers.
 16. Monica managed to enter Wanda's town while she was asleep in a helicopter. Sword will again try to break.
For this one, the only error on it is “asleep in a helicopter”, because neither Monica nor Wanda was in a helicopter, Monica did sent a helicopter drone to check what’s going on in Westview because of the paranormal occurrence that is happening. Wanda on the other end was asleep in her bed and was awakened by the noise of the helicopter drone (transformed into a toy) probably bumping into their outside bedroom wall before running out of battery and falling into the bushes.
Honestly my personal feeling about Peter is that he really is the real Peter (Pietro) of X-Men Universe. If we are to break it down, here’s what I noticed.
1.  Peter shows up in at the end of Episode 5, he still wears a leather-like jacket that is similar to the other jackets he wore in X-Men and TV commercials except, here in WandaVision – it’s black, not his usual silver colored jacket and snickers, but all of them still contains a lot of zippers. Though it does looks similar to the jacket he’s wearing when he made a cameo in Deadpool 2, but he’s on the background facing the camera so we cannot see the back design, but both have zip sleeves, studded lapels, epaulettes, the front look of the jacket is pretty identical.
2. Personality is still the same. We don’t know much about Pietro’s personality since he only appeared in Age of Ultron, and only has displayed arrogance or being over confident personality. On the other hand, Peter is still his usual “man child” playful self. He even called Vision “popsicle”, which coincidentally or probably a reference when he was eating a popsicle in X-Men Days of Future Past when he first met Wolverine, Charles and Hank.
3. Silver accents still present. When he first shows up on Wanda's doorstep, he still has his silver hair, (although I did find it odd why in Episode 6, his hair became very light blonde). He still wears stainless steel watch. The only thing he's missing is his silver goggles.
4. Powers remain the same. He is still the Quicksilver, running in super speed. He showed his super speed twice in Episode 6, first was when Wanda told him he doesn’t have a costume - he took Tommy with him and came back in matching outfits, second was when they’re being mischievous destroying pumpkins and spraying silly strings to townspeople. And just wanna point out how adorable both Peter and Tommy together, cant help but put a smile on your face really, the two of them look like father and son.
5. Vision comments about Peter being “great with kids”. Well this is probably a reference to X-Men Days of Future Past where Peter have a younger unnamed sister and probably takes care of her a lot, making him the elder brother being good at handling kids. If we look at the deleted scenes in Days of Future Past, the little girl (probably about 10y.o), said to Logan “I’m a princess, what are you?” Logan responded with “I’m the Wolverine. Where’s your brother?” and the princess pointed out to the stairs leading to the basement. Then later on, we see Peter watching the news about Magneto while the little girl is sitting on his lap, dressed as a princess.
6. Peter still loves video games. As seen in Episode 6, his way of bonding with the twins is by playing video game (PS1) and I’m guessing it’s a versus game like Marvel vs Capcom because we can hear on the background what sounds like the character selection menu and the punching and kicking sound-like effects, in which they removed the character voices (like Ryu, Ken etc) probably due to the CAPCOM copyrights.
Note: for some who may wonder, why DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) has been featured too in Episode 7, why Marvel vs CAPCOM cannot? That is because Disney (Japan) is one of the games publisher, even having its own DDR game called Eurobeat Disney (Japan Exclusive), while MvsC is developed and published by CAPCOM, so its them who own the copyrights of the game.
Also speaking of them, CAPCOM was mentioned on Episode 7 by the soldier when she said to Monica “Capcom Check”, well this could probably be referring to the astronauts communication which is also called Capcom. But it can be a double meaning; they could be referring CAPCOM Company, to pay tribute/reference to the video game, but at the same time, to avoid any possible legal matters, the “space engineer”, “the astronaut suit”, “outer space vehicle” will help masked the Capcom reference since Capcom is a real astronaut communication position.
We’ll continue this on part 3 with more of Quicksilver‘s conversation with Wanda this time.

WandaVision Theory
Good Day Everyone, my 1st post for the year 2021.
I was unable to post anything back then (because Tumblr is not letting me post images), and now I am posting for possible theories for WandaVision, and this is as of Episode 7. Please be reminded that this post contains spoilers, so if you don’t wanna read them, you have been warned and you can go back. Also,  I’m gonna skipped on some references as those has been tackled by others already (such has Malcolm in the Middle, Kick-ass, etc), I will focus only on Marvel related franchise, character behaviors and sentence phrasing interpretations.
For those who hasn’t seen it yet, we can simplify that WandaVision is a Online Drama / Sitcom style series by Disney and Marvel Studios that stars both Wanda Maximoff and the Vision. Wanda and the Vision are trapped in the world of sitcom and is being broadcasted to S.W.O.R.D temporary base. So far, Episode 1 takes back in 1950′s sitcom, episode 2 is 1960′s, Episode 3 is 1970′s, Episode 4 is current reality, Episode 5 is 1980′s and Episode 6 is 1990′s, and now its the current era (based on the console game the kids are playing which looks like a Wii).
But before we jump to that, lets talk about first the "WandaVision Plot Leaked" which was first published in 4chan and someone reposted it on reddit (I dont have the name so I'm sorry).  Of course when I first read it, I was also skeptical about it, but at the same time, lets give it the benifit of the doubt and lets see which one will come true and which one is not.
I just numbered and bolded them for easier read, and added ❀ for my side comments about the "plot leak". Also, I'll refer to X-Men Pietro as PETER (because that's how he's called in that world), and ATJ as Pietro.
1. Wanda is a SWORD agent after Endgame which you might already know includes Darcy, Jimmy Woo and Monica Rambeau.
❀ No conclusive information yet, though not impossible because we saw in Episode 5 Wanda stormed into S.W.O.R.D HQ, looking angry and took Vision's body. Hayward said in his comment that its a highly sensitive material and Vision's body location considered a top secret. It's impossible to get this information unless she has an access to it or at least someone she knows has.
2. Woo was recruited from FBI to SWORD to keep check on superpowered beings after Sokovia Accords lost influence.
❀Agent Woo is indeed working in partnership with S.W.O.R.D as of the moment, but he is still wearing his "FBI" vest, indicating he’s still with FBI and is just working alongside with SWORD because he was with Monica and witnessed her disappeared.
3. Wanda was sent to investigate as a SWORD agent..but she was also a part of the team to keep check on her.
4. Wanda as of now is placed in a real illusion. The sitcom world she sees is real with real people of the town – but one can't see so from the outside.
❀ This is true, this is the current event going on in the series.
5. Wanda came in contact with Mysterio who allowed her to gain Vision back and live a peaceful life – based on sitcoms she used to watch as a kid.
❀Mysterio, a lot of people commenting ill about him (for this post – and was thinking it could probably be a typo for Mephisto), but if we look at the timeline, Spiderman Far From Home is set 8months after the blip reversal, WandaVision however, is 3weeks to a month after the blip was reversed. In Episode 4, Hayward mentioned "It's been 3 weeks, and you're first to report" to Monica, and if we go back, the huge TV screens (just after the Marvel Intro) in SWORD's HQ lounge captions the news with "Globe Celebrations Continues" "The Blip Brings Back Loved Ones" indicating the blip just reversed.
6. Mephisto will stay close to the couple and keep watch over them (he is in the rabbit currently). His plan is to obtain Wanda's kids in the hopes they'll be powerful sorcerers he can control. He deems Wanda too dangerous to control in the long run.
❀Agness is INDEED keeping a rabbit and has been seen in Episode 2 and current Episode 7. But whether that is Mephisto or not is not yet conclusive.
7. Sword is trying to maintain contact with Wanda who is lost in her subconscious. Whenever she realizes it, she rejects it.
❀This happened in Episode 4 when Agent Woo and Darcy tried to contact Wanda from the outside the HEX using the radio.
8. The entire show isn't gonna be a sitcom as marketed. We'll see Wanda fighting Sword near the end until Woo manage to make her realize that she's lying to herself.
❀Still inconclusive if Agent Woo will really do that but she already confronted the SWORD in Episode 5, Hayward is indeed planning the attack.
9. The couple will face numerous villains in the final episodes – the ones who were manipulating them...!
10. Kathryn Hahn's Agnes is Agatha Harkness. She was a witch who was given away by her son (I'm not sure if her son will appear onscreen or not) and was burnt alive.
❀It is finally revealed in Episode 7 that Agness is indeed Agatha Harkness, but we will probably find out if she was sold off by his son in the next upcoming episode.
11. She too made a deal with Mephisto who allowed her to live. She befriended Wanda for her children but will become an actual friend to her.
12. However by the end she will be possessed by Nightmare who'd take advantage of Wanda's powers to break open the Multiversal seal – which will of course carry forward to DS2.
13. Dottie will be revealed to be Clea.
14. Grim Reaper will act as Ralph – Agatha's "husband" who Vision would go against in the climax.
15. Sword has a special device which was implanted on Wanda before she was sent. Essentially the events going on are being translated by her subconscious as a sitcom which can be seen by Sword agents (like Darcy) who are confused about what's happening with Wanda.
❀Still inconclusive but not impossible considering Darcy is the WandaVision sitcom.
16. Monica managed to enter Wanda's town while she was asleep in a helicopter. Sword will again try to break in. ❀Half wrong, half right - Monica sent a drone helicopter inside the HEX and Wanda first felt its presence as shown in Episode 2 (after the Marvel intro) when Wanda was still asleep (she heard noises), and in Episode 4, Monica came close to the HEX after her drone disappeared and got sucked inside of the HEX.
17. Monica would try to help Wanda realize the truth after getting her conscious back, but Wanda will get pissed off when she says her Vision isn't real and will throw her away from the town (to the outside world) using her powers.
❀Half wrong, half right - Monica is indeed making Wanda realize the truth and this occurred on Episode 7. In Episode 3, Wanda did sent Monica out of the HEX calling her an outsider when she commented that Pietro was killed by Ultron, not because Vision is dead.
18. Quicksilver will return! And I know it sounds stupid, but Evan Peters is playing him. Aaron will appear in a couple of episodes.
❀Indeed, Peter (Even Peters) of X-Men Universe showed up at the end of Episode 5 and is present the whole Episode 6, and Pietro (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) did appear in flashbacks (so far).
19. Wanda slowly starts remembering a few people of the outside world (including her brother). She is trying to figure out if she had a sibling herself, finding it weird why she wouldn't remember him.
❀Inconclusive - so far, it is projected that Wanda is in a state of denial. Though other than Vision, not a single one of the Avengers are mentioned here by her.
20. Meanwhile her subconscious starts to associate powers of the heroes she has known to random civilians of town.
21. She has twins Billy and Tommy who also have powers. One of them has superspeed and she remembers her brother (but not fully).
❀True - Wanda now have twins and Tommy is shown to have super speed, as shown in Episode 6 and Billy having telepathy, clairvoyance and telekinesis, similar to her mom’s power
22. There's one more. Vision will feel a bit weird none of the kids look like him. So they'd create a daughter based off Vision (Viv).
23. Quicksilver returns played by Aaron. However the presence of a real dead dude starts breaking the illusion. ❀Yet to happen but, makes one wonder how he'll get back to life.
24. Grim Reaper (Ralph) will be revealed and he befriends Quicksilver. He'll get him written out of the show and Quicksilver gets recast to Evan Peters.
25. The only one who finds it off is Viv. She is confused why Quicksilver doesn't look the former one. She tries to make others realize that. But they think she hates her uncle.
26. There will be a rerun of all the sitcom episodes. Wanda will break out from her illusion midway in the show to her actual living room in her subconscious.
❀I'm not sure of the rerun as its yet to happen, and I'm not sure if this break out of her illusion is the one that happened on current Episode 7 where Wanda fixed the couch and the TV.
27. Vision here is nothing but a puppet. At this point Wanda realizes the entire illusion but she gets heartbroken realizing her children weren't real.
❀It is already implied that Vision is indeed a puppet. Wanda realizing everything is an illusion is yet to happen.
28. She flips the channels to find her children again and decides to enter the sitcom-y world once again.
29. Darcy will end up there too and she will reveal Vision the entire truth (having watched all the sitcom episodes and analyzed what causes the changes).
❀Exactly as shown in Episode 7.
30. Wanda will be unwilling to leave her world even after her fight against the Sword stops.
31. Mephisto will take control of Quicksilver's body. Agatha will turn on him.
32. Wanda will try to send Quickie back to his universe in the end with Agatha's help but Nightmare will use it as an opportunity to seize control of Agatha.
33. The Nightmare part will only be revealed to the audience (not Wanda herself). Story carries over.
34. There are flashbacks of Wanda's life. A lot of which are seen by Darcy who tries to understand the extent of her trauma.
35. Yes Aaron will appear in flashbacks. Wanda will be shown a lot of these in the final episodes where she'd also find how the Mind Stone just unlocked her innate powers.
❀He did
36. Evan Peters will tell how in his universe Mutants are pretty common (just a tease).
❀ If this is true, then its only Peter will be the only mutant to appear in the series.
37. The ads in the show are all related to her trauma. There will be ads about Pietro's death, Lagos explosion and even a vacuum cleaner based on Thanos.
❀ The Ads - somehow true, related to her trauma. The first commercial with the oven possibly be a reference to Age of Ultron where commented Pietro and Wanda commented that when they were 10y.o, a bomb shell fell into their house but did not detonate, they were staring at it for 2 days because they were trapped and waiting for help while thinking every shift on bricks will set if off. Episode 2 has the Strucker watch referencing also to Age of Ultron where Strucker experimented on them using Loki’s scepter. Episode 3 is about escaping reality with the Hydra Soap (with the shape of the Tesseract), Episode 5 with Lagos Paper Towel representing her messed in Captain America Civil War when she tried to save Cap, Episode 6 with the animation of Yo-Magic with a Shark talking using a caption "If you're hungry, eat Yo-Magic", and lastly Episode 7 with Nexus medicine that promotes killing when you are depressed.
38. The couple in each of the ads is her parents who are acting as stand-ins for events based off her trauma.
❀Yes, that is the speculation.
39. Vision will help Wanda accept the reality and move on. He gives her his farewell and fights Grim Reaper, hoping to destroy the dome after sacrificing his life.
40. Wanda saves Vision in a scene which mirrors Age of Ultron. He will return back to real world along with their children, Agatha, Quickie and rest of the town/Sword.
41. Wanda is happy Vision is alive and sings a song to him, but it turns out he is effectively rebooted after the fight. Unable to bring his memories back, Sword leaves with Vision.
42. Her children are also hidden by Nightmare-Agatha. Wanda gets torn and tries to move on, unaware to her Nightmare is opening up the Multiverse for unknown reasons.
I will end this first here as the post is getting longer, and will continue with the part 2 and will discuss it further.

Day 1, 1st 6 hours of the game.
I'm now on chapter 5 of the game. So far, Im now understanding why so many fans are shipping Jessie with Cloud 😂. Unlike in the original PS1 game, Jessie here have much more screen time and I would say flirts a lot with Cloud, which never happened in the original game. There was even the part where she gave him a hug, and angle of the camera shot will make you think they're kissing 😘
But lets stop there for the mean time, lets talk about the game itself.
The beginning of the game is the very DEMO itself. I was thinking it maybe it be like the one in FFXV, because its DEMO gameplay is different from the actual gameplay, it was harder or difficult. But on this one, its the exact gameplay as the DEMO. I just don't know if I encountered a glitch on the actual game because during the DEMO, when you fought the 1st boss, when he started to use laser from his tail, under normal difficulty, he used it like 4 times, but it can be cancelled with Lightning Magic, frequently also use that area attack and also frequently jumps by the wall. On the actual game, he only used that laser only once and the area attack also only once, during the remaining 1/4 of its HP, it just stood there idle, which made me consider maybe I encountered a glitch.
Also another glitch I could have found, was this is during their flee from Midgar, where Cloud is supposed to go to the station, when those dogs near the bridge (before Cloud jumps over to get into the train) attack Cloud, I also noticed that after I dodge an attack, it kind of look like they stopped attacking and walked back, making me think if maybe I went over the area out of their range like in FFXV, so I was checking and tried to walk near those dogs and they didn't attack me until I attacked them 1st.
One stupid thing I didn't realized too is the Save Point. I thought, since this is FFVII, of course there will be that Save Point that looked like a crystallized question mark, or maybe like the XV, where you need to rest or go to that campfire to SAVE. I was wrong, It took me till Chapter 4 to realized that the Save Point is in MANUAL, meaning, anytime and anywhere, you can SAVE your progress 😂😂😂. Which frustrates me because I was not able to get Jessie's trophy on that motorcycle part (since it was after this motorcycle part that I discovered the manual save).
The SLUMS. I was impressed by this part. Even though in the original game, this parts actually looks so rundown, seeing it in a realistic form, I was thinking to myself, this looks like the slums part here my city, I was awed by the sight of it. Everything was in rundown, old and dirty. I don't know how SE did their research for the slums, but it was uncanny.
I'm gonna continue 1st the game again. And if you noticed, I haven't talked about Sephiroth yet. My eyes really went heart shape when I saw him + I'm playing the game with the Japanese voice over since I'm a very big fan of this cast. There's Takahiro Sakurai (Cloud), Toshiyuki Morikawa (Sephiroth), Junichi Suwabe (Tseng & Seymour of X), Toru Okawa (Rufus), Keiji Fujiwara (Reno), Banjou Ginga (Reeve), Hideo Ishikawa (Caith Sith & Squall of VIII)... Others are already part of the other FF World.

Hi again.. Sorry for not being able to write down the review of the Demo and now I'm skipping it since the official game has been released. I decided to also purchased just the regular edition of the digital copy since I received an email from the store where I purchased my hard copy that the Deluxe Edition may not arrive till mid May to mid June, which is really saddening since I'm expecting also that we'll get back to work by then. If I were to wait, I won't be able to play it leisurely, and I want to make most of the lockdown period. So I'll be writing instead my thoughts so far about the game itself.

Hey everyone, Kaine here and I'm back for the review of FFVII REMAKE Demo.
Although this post still does not contain anything about the demo yet, as I'm waiting for it to be fully transferred then upload it on Cloud Storage, then write up the article. The thing is, I couldn't log in here (on Tumblr) from my computer and it also wont let me change the password so to be able to log in and create a better article about the demo. So if this doesn't work, then I will be writing the review from my phone. So for the men time, STAY TUNED!!

So hi, this is Kaine and I've been in tumblr for quite some time but had never really made any effort of posting anything. So on this post, I just wanted share how how happy I am for finally, the Asia Pre-order released of Final Fantasy VII Remake Deluxe Edition.
I really wanted to get the 1st Class Edition, but due to budget, I just decided to get the Deluxe Edition only. And considering the difference between the 1st Class and Deluxe Edition is only the Cloud figure, and my real target is the Steel Book Case and the Artbook, and the Music CD is also a plus. I don't really need the figure (I also don't have a place to put it on display).
I'll try to keep an update and hopefully also do a vlog or unboxing of the Deluxe Edition once its out on March 3, 2020. I am also considering doing a live stream of the game once its also out as well.
