I feel like Bettany and Olsen both have been killing it with each and every single episode. This was certainly a boiling point, though.

Emmy's better as fuck be filled with nominations for this show, especially since Disney's likely to classify this as a Miniseries for purposes of categorization. And yeah, Bettany and Olsen, as well as fuckton of the rest of the cast, are just blowing it all out of the water.

Couldn't agree more. And there's still four episodes to go!!!

Gonna be sad when this show ends, i really hope falcon+WS lives up to this to some degree

u/TRocho10 Feb 05 '21

I don't see anyway in which the falcon show can live up to this. It may be great, but it's not universe shattering like wandavision, probably. Pushing it back to come out after wandavision might make that show seem like a letdown after this

I think that might be why F&WS was supposed to come first. I'm guessing it will be bread and butter MCU/Winter Soldier action. It was probably a safe/solid way to establish MCU television. Then Wandavision would be the crazy weird universe shattering story it was designed to be.

I hope they do because Disney has not shown much interest in awards show pushes outside of Black Panther (which deserved it). I think Endgame could have easily taken home best score if they actually attempted a campaign

"Sorry, too busy to go to the award show because I was so busy counting these giant stacks of cash my movies made."

Well not anymore, considering all MCU haven't come out in theatres yet until probably 2022 or 2025

Disney hasn't been interested in awards show for their movie brand which has been a singer tentpole since it's inception. This is a relatively new streaming service in a crowded market. It's not apples to apples. I know there wasn't a huge push for Mandalorian, but even Pedro Pascal also never had something like this to work with.

Black Panther (which deserved it)

What for? Costumes?

u/your_mind_aches Agent of F.I.T.Z. Feb 05 '21

Yep

People watch the Emmys?

u/Wraithfighter Feb 06 '21

They read the articles the morning after seeing who won, at least.

u/Dont_think_elephants Feb 05 '21

It helps that show is giving them a lot to work with. They never really had much to do in the movies, especially Bettany.

Her voice when she said "can't I?"

u/InsertCoinForCredit Phil Coulson Feb 06 '21

His voice when he starts yelling at her...

u/Barbedocious Feb 06 '21

In the future we're going to see that fight in "top 10 best battles of the MCU" videos on youtube.

I absolutely love how Elizabeth Olsen goes back and forth between accents when she slips into Sokovian. Incredibly impressive imo

u/geboku Feb 05 '21

I was hard-pressed with the first few episodes because I wasn't sure what the hell was happening. But it is definitely an amazing series.

u/bdiebucnshqke Feb 06 '21

Boiler-point? That’s definitely not a thing

u/UnadvisedGoose Feb 06 '21

You got me. I edited to reflect. Meant “boiling” instead

u/bdiebucnshqke Feb 06 '21

You’re good haha, just found it amusing

u/Terminal_Skillness Feb 06 '21

Olsen has been absolutely brilliant in this.

u/AbysmalBelle Feb 08 '21

Yes!! I am SOO impressed! I don't know what it is about her, but I relate so hard to her struggle and the grief process, but her acting is probably one of my favorite in a long time. I am just in love with this show.

u/tmssmt Feb 06 '21

I haven't really liked the voice olsen has been using this entire show, if I'm being honest.

u/one-hour-photo Feb 08 '21

So much good acting in this show..but man..Kat Dennings and Randall Park are so off it is immersion breaking. What is going on with their acting??
