Something here is a lie. 😂🤨

Okay, starting with the last one. Both Waldron and Raimi admitted they never watched WandaVision and they were both very clear they didn't know what had happened in the series except for the post-credit scene. It's likely one or both of them might have backtracked from that though, like Waldron did after he let it slip he hadn't watched Thor or The Avengers prior to writing the Loki series.

And I find it hard to believe he didn't know about NWH because Defender Strange says word for word the exact same line Stephen says to Peter in the movie (albeit in that movie it's clear he's referencing his time on Titan but in MoM that line lacks any depth since it's Defender the one saying it).

The scene of Wanda with Black Bolt is the perfect example of something that sounds cool and looks cool but 1) it's not explained, 2) it's a god-level power that Wanda shows once but never again in the movie, 3) Wanda goes from that to having a kid hit her and she stumbles and falls. Is that scene where she says "what mouth?" a great one? Holy shit, it's awesome. So badass. But it's there for shock value, nothing more.

So the original pitch was to literally show Wanda's corruption on-screen as part of the story, but Raimi chose to "bring that good stuff forward" where her corruption happens off-screen? How is that a good idea? If we had seen her going darker and darker during the movie it would have been a fantastic story, especially heartbreaking post-WandaVision, and it would have given time to Stephen to get to know her and befriend her so that their final fight would mean something.

Also, going back to the first point... why the "scripts" for WandaVision? All the episodes were available at the time Waldron was writing MoM, they delayed the movie 3 times. He didn't need the scripts, he could have watched the episodes. The longest ep is 46 minutes long.
