I still maintain that Wandavision was easily the most philosophically significant and even pastorally significant MCU property that Marvel has ever released. Its exploration of grief through the lens of superheroes (along with top notch production values, excellent storytelling, and superb acting, of course) is perhaps one of the most profound treatments of this season that everyone goes through at some point even if they don’t realize that’s what they are experiencing that I’ve ever seen.

And, fair warning, if you haven’t seen the series yet and plan to, don’t read on. I’m going to spoil all the big reveals as we go.
