WandaVision - Le prime reazioni elogiano l'originalità della serie

A meno di una settimana dall’esordio, alcuni critici americani hanno pubblicato i primi commenti su WandaVision, attesissima serie dei Marvel Studios che ci riporterà nel Marvel Cinematic Universe dopo un anno e mezzo di attesa.

Le reazioni sono piuttosto prevedibili, ma gradite. La stampa parla infatti di uno show molto originale, diversissimo da qualunque altra cosa sia stata fatta nel MCU. Come sappiamo, Scarlet (Elizabeth Olsen) e Visione (Paul Bettany) si ritroveranno in una realtà alternativa che riproduce i tòpoi e l’estetica delle sit-com televisive, dagli anni Cinquanta ai Duemila: ebbene, pare che WandaVision rispetti molto fedelmente la struttura narrativa delle sit-com, una scelta “rischiosa” ma che funziona bene, e alimenta il mistero.

Uno dei giornalisti sottolinea che tale mistero ha “grandi ramificazioni” nell’universo Marvel. In generale, i critici premiano la stranezza e l’originalità della serie, ma anche i suoi lati enigmatici e divertenti. Viene elogiata inoltre la chimica tra Elizabeth Olsen e Paul Bettany.

WandaVision debutterà il 15 gennaio su Disney+ con i primi due episodi. Saranno 9 puntate in totale, quindi la serie finirà venerdì 5 marzo, con due settimane di anticipo rispetto alla premiere di The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Si tratterà del primo capitolo della Fase 4 del Marvel Cinematic Universe, dopo i rinvii di Black Widow, Gli Eterni e della stessa The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Troverete le reazioni qui di seguito.

Molti indizi e easter egg

Watched 3 eps of @MarvelStudios’ @wandavision! I love that rather than doing a 3hr MCU movie they’re exploring TV as a medium. So far it’s a fun head trip, Olsen & Bettany make a surprisingly able comedy team. Layering in LOTS of Easter Eggs & clues. Kathryn Hahn steals the show! pic.twitter.com/oQXSq8XgXx

Una storia ambiziosa

The first three episodes of #WandaVision may take a bit to get going, but there’s an incredible ambition in its story and effects and the cast are all incredible that have me so excited to dive into the rest of @disneyplus’ first #MCU series! pic.twitter.com/IGx36HKtG1

La volontà di prendere dei rischi

Also, after heaving seen the first 3 episodes, I only have a hint of what’s really going on and am so excited to see where this thing is going.

Diversa dal passato

I’m interested to see how Marvel fans & non-Marvel hardcores react to #WandaVision.
It’s so different from what has come before (in a way that works) that I wonder if people looking for an action-packed romp are going to love it out of the gate.
I love it through 3 episodes. pic.twitter.com/3NTj9Cn8An

La pazienza dei fan sarà premiata

How #WandaVision approaches what we think is normal and what isn’t makes it an incredibly fun watch just three episodes in. I am impressed at how much it offers fans waiting for MCU content while still showing restraint.

#WandaVision offers humor, drama and suspense all in its half-hour chunks. I will say it is good the first two episodes are being offered up front as they really set up what the show is about. Marvel fans have been waiting, their patience will be rewarded.

Cuore, divertimento, mistero e oscurità

#WandaVision is truly unlike anything the MCU has put out before. I can’t emphasize that enough.
It is a blast to watch. It is so committed to the sitcom structure of story telling that it feels like a bold risk – but it pays off and builds a mystery.
It is awesome. pic.twitter.com/NbGBsGLfmc

Elizabeth Olsen & Paul Bettany are tremendous together in #WandaVision. Their chemistry comes through brilliantly and they are a blast to watch. Bettany is especially having a good time & it shows.
There is so much heart, fun, mystery, and darkness between #Wanda and #TheVision. pic.twitter.com/GCIJKBvB73

Un omaggio alle sit-com

WandaVision is everything I wanted it to be and more. It is not a parody or snarky take on classic sitcoms. It’s the most respectful, sincere celebration of that art form that I’ve seen…. ever?

Bizzarra e ambiziosa

I saw three episodes of WandaVision and I am hooked. They really go for it.
This has to be one of the most ambitious (also weirdest) things Marvel’s ever done, and this is the studio that had 300 superheroes in their last movie.

Personaggi e storia prevalgono sull’azione

Fans wanting BIG action scenes may need to adjust their expectations, at least early on, but the beauty of this format is it allows room to hang out w/ characters & revel in the weirdness on display without a story that’s relying too heavily on rushing to its next major battle. pic.twitter.com/N451h2KcwO

Grande creatività

Very, VERY into what they're doing with #WandaVision after seeing the first 3 episodes. It's different, and it might take a moment to adjust but, thus far, this feels like a creative pivot well worth taking – one that's highly entertaining and could have a huge payoff. pic.twitter.com/PQjKouT77z

Strana ed esilarante

Watched the first 3 episodes of #WandaVision yesterday. It's weird & hilarious in ways Marvel has no right attempting, but they nail it anyway. Then it sprinkles in just enough mystery to keep you speculating and fascinated. I'm so excited to see how far it can go. pic.twitter.com/7PIFQiUNxF

Un mistero ramificato

Marvel has never done anything at all like #WandaVision and I am FLOORED by the show’s imagination, creativity and risks. Each episode BRILLIANTLY recreates a classic sitcom model, but also feeds into a much larger mystery with HUGE Marvel ramifications. I love this so much! pic.twitter.com/rPURhyqaCt

La sinossi ufficiale

Con Elizabeth Olsen e Paul Bettany, WandaVision è la prima serie dei Marvel Studios in esclusiva streaming su Disney+. La serie unisce la televisione classica e il Marvel Cinematic Universe, in cui Wanda Maximoff e Visione — due individui dotati di superpoteri che vivono esistenze suburbane idealizzate — cominciano a sospettare che non tutto sia come sembra.

Il cast

Oltre a Elizabeth Olsen e Paul Bettany, nel cast figurano anche Kat Dennings (Darcy Lewis), Randall Park (Jimmy Woo), Teyonah Parris (Monica Rambeau), Kathryn Hahn (“una vicina ficcanaso”) e forse Evan Peters.

Dr. Strange

Pare che la serie sia collegata a Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, e che sia previsto un cameo dello stesso Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch).

Showrunner e regista

WandaVision è stata scritta da Jac Schaeffer, la sceneggiatrice di Captain Marvel e Black Widow.

La regia è stata invece affidata a Matt Shakman, esperto regista televisivo che ha diretto episodi di The Good Wife, Fargo, C’è sempre il sole a Filadelfia, Psych, Revenge, You’re the Worst, Game of Thrones e molte altre serie.

Le prime serie dei Marvel Studios

Per supportare la piattaforma Disney+, la Casa di Topolino spingerà molto sulle serie tv dei Marvel Studios, che inizialmente saranno Loki, WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, What If…?, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel e Moon Knight.

Kevin Feige le ha paragonate ai cortometraggi Marvel One Shot, poiché consentiranno di spostare l’attenzione su personaggi che solitamente non hanno un ruolo da protagonisti. Le miniserie oscilleranno tutte fra 6 e 8 episodi.
