WandaVision: Tony Stark, Magneto Easter Eggs, More Wanda Messing – 20 Little Details Fans Caught in Episode 5 That Are Making Us Love This Marvel Show More! (LatestLY Exclusive)
The sixth episode of WandaVision would start streaming from February 12. Expect more craziness to happen in that episode and the three episodes after that!
WandaVision is easily becoming the most talked about show of 2021, although it is just five episodes old. Marvel Cinematic Universe's first proper series on Disney+ has been a successful experiment for the studios, with its out-of-the-box treatment, some very smart writing and editing, and the performances of the cast, be it Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Kathryn Hahn, Teyonah Parris, Randall Park, and Kat Dennings. WandaVision is directed by Matt Shakman, known for directing episodes of Fargo, Game of Thrones and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

While the first three episodes of WandaVision had left fans hooked with its sitcom tropes and surprise little twists, it's the fourth and the fifth episodes that have created the most excitement. Especially the fifth, that threw in a lot of revelations (Wanda stole Vision's body), baffling questions (Agnes' breaking the scene), badassery (Wanda threatening the SWORD), a huge CAMEO, and some great Easter Eggs.
While we have covered most of them in our recap of the episode, keen Marvel fans have gone back and revisited the episode to observe the finer points and extract even more great Easter eggs from the episode. We have gone to Twitter to handpick some very nices just for you.
Wanda is Messing With Us Too
Bet ya all would once again go back to episodes four and five, to notice this! And then slap your foreheads!
Cool Little Age of Ultron Callback
Avengers: Age of Ultron was where Wanda and Pietro Maximoff made their MCU debut. WandaVision Episode 5: X-Men Meet Avengers? What Evan Peters’ (Re)Casting As Pietro Maximoff Means for Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Blame it on X-Men's Decade Jumping!
Evan Peters was also Quicksilver in Dark Phoenix in the '90s, so expect him to stay in WandaVision's '90s themed episode.
Chalk One for LGBTQ Superheroes!
Will Billy get to be the first gay male superhero of MCU?
Could Be Awesome If True!
When cable television was popular in India, weren't the '90s kids also treated to popular yesteryear sitcoms from the West like Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Small Wonder, Different Strokes etc?
An Appreciation Note for Norm!
Asif Ali had also appeared in an episode of Agents of SHIELD as a different character. Or has he? With Manda manipulating reality, who knows!
Family Ties Tribute!
The episode had a lot of Easter Eggs to popular '80s sitcoms like Family Ties, Roseanna, Growing Pains etc. The emotional quotient that Vision's bewilderment brought is in line with how these sitcoms also cashed in on sentimentality.
A Smaller Hint About X-Men?
Though a better theory would be that Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution becomes a metaphor for Vision's babies evolving into two age-phases within a few hours.
More Wanda Manipulation? Or Plain Goofup?
Interestingly, 1989 is also the birthyear of actress Elizabeth Olson.
I Had This Very Same Question
None of them were anywhere near that battlefield to know so much about what happened there, especially in such detailing.
Who Else Noticed This?
Pretty sure, everyone was distracted by baby Vision by then!
The 'Bewitched' Theory!
Fans are speculating that Agnes could be Agatha Harkness, a powerful witch from Marvel comics who was sort of mentor to Scarlet Witch. And since Bewitched is a show about a witch...
There's More To Monica Than What Meets The Eye!
Also we are still be bothered by her mention of the 'aerospace engineer', who should matter ahead in the future. Is it time to say 'Fantastic'?
A113 Makes The Mandatory Appearance
Keep your eyes peeled. There could be a Stan Lee tribute as well.
MCU Can't Give Tony Stark A Break!
But once again, a cool Age of Ultron callback, since it was a missile made in Stark Industries that destroyed Wanda's house and killed her parents.
Sparky Fans Would Have Spotted This
Too bad the dog didn't survive the episode, though in the comics, he was brought back to life as a robot by Vision.
The Magneto Paralleling
In comics, Magneto was the father of Wanda and Pietro, something that was also canon in Fox's X-Men franchise. Could Magneto also be the father of Wanda in MCU?
Everyone Who Had Seen Captain America: Civil War Would Have Got This
Which means that the guilt of killing so many innocent people still haunts Wanda, that could also be a trigger to what she has done with Westview.
This Makes... Sense?
In Age of Ultron, Pietro was killed by bullet injuries. So that makes this Easter Egg very morbid, but sentimental too!
Seriously, What's With Wanda's Clothes?
Strangely after Tony Stark's funeral, when Wanda was talking Hawkeye over losing Vision and Black Widow, she appears to have come at peace with this tragedy. So what happened in between.
The sixth episode of WandaVision would start streaming from February 12. Expect more craziness to happen in that episode and the three episodes after that!
