VisionQuest is formally on the midway mark following this week’s episodes, and as followers proceed to seek for any clues that Wanda Maximoff could possibly be making a return within the present (or, on the very least, in Avengers: Doomsday), one second specifically has gotten followers’ consideration and been making the rounds on-line. Particularly, one among Wanda’s most well-known traits is her nostril scrunch, which she does all through WandaVision, and audiences had been fast to select up on the truth that Tommy Maximoff does a virtually equivalent scrunch in VisionQuest—like mom, like son. Nonetheless, it seems that viral second wasn’t as intentional as it might have appeared.
Talking with Collider in regards to the nostril scrunch and the way common it has turn into on-line, Mollica mentioned, “I’ve seen that. I’ve been maintaining with every thing. Some persons are like, ‘You shouldn’t. You shouldn’t learn all of it. You shouldn’t have a look at all of it.’ And I’m like, ‘We’ve made this present as a result of the fandom across the present is superb. I need to see what individuals give it some thought.’ The nostril scrunch was completely only a coincidence, nevertheless it was superb. I believe, when it comes to Elizabeth Olsen’s performances, I don’t know, perhaps it was one thing unconscious. I’ve watched her within the Avengers movies my entire life, and I watched WandaVision and was obsessive about that earlier than I even entered the MCU. There may positively be a unconscious nod to what she does. Or perhaps our personalities are comparable, and perhaps that could be a throughline.”
The Nods to Wanda in VisionQuest Have Been Nice, However They’re Not Sufficient
There have now been quite a few direct references and delicate nods to Wanda in VisionQuest, from Imaginative and prescient and Tommy speaking about her brazenly to (nonetheless coincidental it might have been) Tommy mirroring one among his mom’s facial expressions. Nonetheless, considerations stay excessive throughout the fanbase that VisionQuest will cease at simply these references and never truly deliver Wanda again, both on this present or sooner or later. That goes past simply eager to see a well-liked character return, although. Moderately, if all VisionQuest does is reunite the opposite Maximoff relations, because it appears on observe to do, apart from Wanda, that’s arguably a good larger slap within the face to the character than Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity’s dealing with of her character was.
Wanda’s position within the MCU needs to be extra than simply bringing Imaginative and prescient, Billy, and Tommy again collectively. In any case, her whole misguided mission in Multiverse of Insanity was out of desperation to be reunited together with her children. It will be a large misstep—and, little question, an extremely controversial one—for the MCU to have that film to be her true finish whereas the remainder of her household will get to return again collectively. Hopes stay excessive that this gained’t be the case and that VisionQuest is establishing a seek for Wanda in Doomsday or probably Avengers: Secret Wars, nevertheless it stays to be seen whether or not the MCU will truly keep away from making this grave mistake or stroll proper into it.
