WandaVision Review: Marvel Packs a Mystery Inside a Sitcom

WandaVision — Marvel's first (mini)series on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — is a weird delight. It features Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) doing the dishes and Vision (Paul Bettany) belting out his dulcet tones at a dinner party. Two of Marvel's most powerful superheroes, who've been busy saving the world over and over, have suddenly been relegated to homebody stuff.

For its title character, the God of Mischief (Tom Hiddleston), the most meaningful of them all was meeting and falling in love with Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), a variant of himself from another reality. It might be a sick, twisted romantic interest, as Loki's new (and now former?) best friend and time detective Mobius (Owen Wilson) called it on…
