New Escapist column! How “WandaVision” finds the MCU on (and for) television …

I’ve published a new column at The dropout last week but didn’t get a chance to share. With WandaVision now keep streaming Disney +It seemed like a good idea to check out.

The most striking thing about WandaVision is how deeply it is immersed in the language of television. Previous attempts to get the MCU on TV treated it as secondary to movies. Netflix shows how Daredevil or Iron fist were treated as thirteen hour films while Representatives of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter lived on tatters from the films that drove the common universe. In contrast, WandaVision is not only a thriving celebration of television as a medium, but also an exploration of it. This is very solid and definitely the MCU that comes to television.
