Vision works for “Computational Services” which doesn’t appear to be significant, but correct me if I’m wrong.Worth noting that Marvel architect Jack Kirby was born on August 28, though. At the moment, we can’t find any MCU significance for that August 23 date, or 8/23 or any variant of it.For example: art by Joe Quesada, tm Marvel Lingering Questions
Mainly the way Wanda rearranges reality by breaking it down into block-like form. The real credits also seem to borrow the aesthetic from House of M.

They’re accompanied by blocks similar to those filtered through a tube with the three electron beams (red, green, and blue) of an old CRT TV screen.

The fact that each episode “ends” with fake sitcom credits before we get to the “real” credits for the series feels very much like a meta joke about Marvel’s storied history with post-credits scenes. In the MCU SWORD is an acronym for “Sentient Weapon Observation Response Division” whereas in the comics it had a more cosmic mandate of “Sentient World Observation and Response Department.” On Battlestar Galactica, the Cylons (who were, like Vision, humanlike AI) were often referred to as “toasters” by their opponents.Īfter the I Love Lucy style credits roll, we see the inside of a mobile command center, where a mysterious organization is monitoring the events of Wanda’s “reality.” The trailers for the show have already revealed that this is SWORD, yet another Marvel secret organization.But “toaster” was a derogatory term that was often thrown at Vision in the comics by humans who were suspicious of him, especially in the similarly suburban-set (and brilliant) Vision by Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta. The “toaster” looks a little like Vision, but also looks something like the Ultron-1 as it first appeared in the comics.We don’t have to tell you who Stark Industries is, right? But there’s some other fun stuff at work here… The Toastmate 2000 (from Stark Industries) Commercial Watch everything Marvel and more on Disney+, right here! Agnes (Kathryn Hahn) is the prototypical nosy sitcom neighbor, but her presence here and in future episodes feels very much like a nod to Agatha Harkness, a Marvel Comics character with deep ties to Wanda.Sharing that cover with Vision is Monica Rambeau, who we know will appear later in this series, as well. And if you apply that 238 number to a Vision and Scarlet Witch friendly series like Avengers, you come up with Avengers #238, a story that dealt with an incapacitated vision trying to reactivate. But a date like that can also (perhaps more sensibly) be written as 23/8. August 23Īugust 23rd can also be written as 8/23. We wrote more about the sitcom references in the first two episodes right here. The closing credits for the “show” portion look like those of I Love Lucy with the “satin pillow” background.The opening credit theme was written by EGOT-winners Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
Perhaps best known for playing Kitty Forman on That ‘70s Show, Rupp has also appeared on Newhart, Family Matters, Seinfeld, Friends, and more. Hart is played by Debra Jo Rupp, who is essentially sitcom royalty. It was most popular in the ‘50s and ‘60s timeframe that WandaVision is covering due to the more strictly defined gender roles. Shows such as Bewitched, Three’s Company, and even The Simpsons have used the situation for comedic fodder over the years.
