The questions that chapter 4 of 'WandaVision' leaves and that will change the meaning of the series

Episode four of WandaVision answered some questions but left many others that continue to baffle the audience. What is the real goal of SWORD? Do we know the nature of Westview? How much do we know about the powers of the Scarlet Witch? Let's review the main theories of a complex world.

The fourth chapter of WandaVision achieved what seemed impossible: splicing elegant, subtle, and precise lines connecting to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the series. It was a lesson in metalanguage applied to television narrative, as well as an in-depth look at all kinds of places little explored by the program. The result was a brilliant argument that answered some of the most pressing questions but left a long series of questions that the show will have to answer sooner or later.

The episode started unexpectedly by showing what had happened after Bruce's snap. It was an ingenious decision that captured a snapshot of the minutes following the return of mid-life in the Universe. And Spider-Man: Far From Home had shown a faster version on the subject, but the series achieved something of great value: real-time show an inexplicable disaster.

That small concession to a larger universe allowed for context and finally to provide a clear timeline for the show. As if that were not enough, he managed to sustain the events that occur - whatever their nature - within a concrete perception. What Wanda and Vision live is beyond the reach of reality, and in fact, it is an inexplicable space that the program tries to explain in detail.

But at the same time, he cleared up a series of doubts —When does what we see on the screen happen? Who are the characters that surround Wanda? -, the episode generated new speculation about SWORD, Westview, and how the Scarlet Witch can modify reality.

Seen from that perspective, there are some specific questions you must answer in the five chapters of WandaVision that remain for its season finale.

Why do Wanda and Vision have to stay at Westview?

In one of the final scenes of the chapter, Wanda has a short and harsh conversation with Vision whom she has just seen as the corpse that we all remember from Endgame.

The image is short, stark, and stark, but it makes clear that what is happening in Westview is directly linked to Wanda's perception of reality. And although it is not very clear how much it depends on Wanda, if she slips a little clue that has made fans debate for days. When Vision insists that they can go "wherever they want," Wanda immediately contradicts him: "No, we can't do it," he replies, "this is our home."

Is it some kind of emotional attachment? It actually seems something more related to some special element in the city that we see in WandaVision. In fact, fans have theorized that comic book characters like Mephisto or the witch Agatha Harkness could be the true source of power for Westview's alternate reality. Monica Rambeau seems pretty sure that The Scarlet Witch is the one pulling all the strings, but it is still possible that she is drawing her power from elsewhere to do so on a grand scale.

If Agnes is Agatha Harkness maybe Wanda looked for her on purpose. Or maybe there is something else in the area generating the cosmic background radiation that SWORD is picking up that seems related to the infinity stone that gave the Scarlet Witch her powers.

Is the Scarlet Witch controlling all the Westview neighbors?

During episode four, Agent Jimmy Woo spent much of his time gathering information about the residents of Westview. The agent was able to identify some familiar faces thanks to the successive broadcasts that SWORD was able to recover from whatever happens in the town. But in some cases, there were some faces that remained a mystery to much of the team that struggles to unravel the mystery of Westview.

But the most disturbing thing is not that, but the fact that on some occasions, this group of friendly and forgetful neighbors suddenly seems to be aware that something inexplicable is happening around them.

Agnes herself remains a curious piece of the Westview puzzle within WandaVision. She has yet to be identified by SWORD despite appearing frequently on WandaVision episodes. There is still reason to believe that Agnes is Agatha Harkness and that her role in the city is different from everyone else. Could it be causing Wanda's reality alteration? Or is it just another victim?

There's also the mystery of the missing person case that brought Jimmy Woo to Westview in the first place. Who is that person and why was he under witness protection? Why is it that in some cases several Westview residents are able to “wake up” to a certain level of awareness of what is happening? Why was Monica / Geraldine able, in fact, to fully remember what had happened outside the bubble?

Is Vision dead or alive in 'WandaVision'?

Darcy Lewis asked himself out loud the question that confused much of the audience. Is Vision dead? Apparently, the answer is a resounding yes. According to Darcy, at least there was a general confirmation on the death of the Avenger and there are no doubts about it.

On the other hand, the episode includes a disturbing image of Vision as we remind him after Thanos murdered him in a, particularly cruel way. A walking corpse with a severed head enters the cheerful living room of the house he shares with Wanda in Westview. What is unsettling is that The Scarlet Witch does not seem oblivious, nor is she puzzled by Vision's appearance. His gesture of avoiding looking at him and apparently concentrating? in a more benign image, it remains on the screen for a couple of seconds, only to show Vision again full of life.

Is she fooling herself? Did you find a way to keep any part of Vision alive? Still ** no hints of one thing or the other. **

Why does Wanda reproduce reality like a sitcom on 'WandaVision'?

It is the question asked not only by SWORD and the FBI but by the entire audience. The energy projected outside Westview, which Darcy describes as Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR), manifests as an old television signal on WandaVision.

Now that you've created this dangerous escapist fantasy, you could be using those picturesque, idealized stories as fuel for your own sitcom. Still, the ending credits and the camera angle is shown in SWORD add mystery to the whole. After all, it is not a copy but a realistic version of something much more elaborate.

Is what we see in WandaVision just Wanda's memories or is it due to a stranger idea as a whole?
