i don't think it's generally very useful to categorize people as "good" or "bad", but the terms "hero" and "villain" are usually a bit more objective, based on the results of a person's actions. i've definitely been one of those people observing that wanda is the biggest villain in her own show. i don't mean it as an attack, just a simple statement of fact -- she did torture thousands of people. and while we can say it wasn't intentional, the fact that it continued as long as it did was definitely negligent. her ignorance was willful. she didn't want to know the effects of her actions. i don't judge her as "bad". i understand what she was going thru. but she was the villain.

Everyone handles grief differently, some go through the stages quicker or slower than others, some people might seem alright for a while but eventually they come to a realisation that it happened and grief hits them like a truck. With Wanda I think we see after losing Vision at the time of his death she didn't have time to properly grieve and it was made into anger instead, when WandaVision happens we see Wanda finally being able to grieve however because she wasn't able to grieve for so long it hits her like a truck and causes a massive outburst of not only emotion but with that her power which creates an entire fantasy world where she doesn't have to deal with those painful and overwhelming emotions.

I know it didn't show a LOT about the depression. Only the falling on her knees, going deep into her past and seeing her locked in a cell and talking to Vision. BUT we have seen her in a depressed state in other films. The thing is that she actually just lost Vision, the one that pulled her out of the past depression. She may have to go through this process all over again over his death. She was at least able to leave him this time on her own terms.
@Brucehumphrey
@Brucehumphrey 3 года назад
They showed more about depression than just the kneeling scene. That was basically the whole theme of the show: grief and denial. The fact that she enslaved the whole town just to satisfy her grief is another good thing they pointed out. It shows how depression will make people do things that are bad, even if these things can temporary take away the person's emotional pain. Another good thing I noticed is how Wanda didn't even remember that she was the one who created the Hex and how even she created it. It was until the later episodes that she started to realize that she was in control of Westview, and it wasn't until she and Agatha revisited her memories that she realized that she had actually used chaos magic to create the Hex, even when she didn't know she had this ability. She completely blocked out this memory, and this is very common in people who are dealing depression. Their brain completely blocks out certain memories to prevent more trauma, therefore sometimes they're unaware of their actions.

I'm not a therapist by any means, but I have a friend who suffers from depression and depression is like chronic pain. It's constant, or it comes and goes but when it's there it's debilitating and long lasting. What Wanda experienced was grief. Break down, scream as loud as you can grief, which is different than depression. Maybe I'm splitting too many hairs but I don't think depression, in the standard sense, is right word to use to define Wanda in this series. Grief, yes. Frustration, loss, anger, yes. Depression, not exactly.
@PolliitoAle

@Jeff Erckert Right? Everyone is saying that they don't show her being depressive and like... depression doesn't always looks like anguish. I've had 3 depressive episodes over my life and only one of them I felt constant, overwhelming angst and anxiety. The other times? it was numbness. Just, not wanting to interact with anyone, not wanting to get up of bed and when I did, I was just.. without direction. I couldn't care, not even for those I loved and for the things I was always interested about. My best friend has depression and it's just like that too. I think Wanda's went through pain and angst before, and after this entire 5 stages of grief, the tired, nub kind of depression made more sense.

Her family came to get her, worried. They talked, then she snapped back to reality and broke down.

Wow, youtube threw this into my suggestion list. Really beautiful dissection of Wandavision. I think she made two wishes. One was the creation of the hex when she wished somehow that she could be with Vision again. But I also think when she saw the newly created Vision, she made another wish. "To become part of that world and live with him". And her powers whammied herself. She became "sitcom Wanda", with no memory of the real world. It wasn't until "Geraldine" mentioned Ultron that her memory started to return. But I can relate to why she didn't want to leave. Bringing back someone you loved would be a powerful thing. I can't imagine saying no to that.
@dwell7315
@dwell7315 3 года назад
I like this idea but there's a bit more I think. She mentions Pietro before Monica mentions Ultron, remember. And she definitely had some level of awareness when she rewound after the SWORD agent/beekeeper incident. I do agree that (by choice or happenstance) she lost or buried her real memories when she cast the spells, but as soon as cracks started appearing in her new reality (the drone in her hedge, Woo over the radio at Dottie's house, the beekeeper) she began remembering that this reality wasn't all it seemed. Geraldine's "betrayal" only furthered her becoming more aware. Pietro/Ralph's entrance did succeed in confusing her back into sitcom-land for a time, but the almost immediate cracks in his story (looking different, missing accent, randomly knowing post-death but pre-WandaVision events, and especially the comment about Vision) forced her back into reality, as did SWORD's armed drone, leading to the "breakdown" in episode 7 I believe (whichever episode was the depression episode)

I think the "glossing over" of Wanda's depression makes sense.

We distract ourselves with drugs, alcohol, compulsive behavior, etc.; she distracted herself by creating the alternate reality of Westview.

@ZachsMind
@ZachsMind 3 года назад
This is where, for me, the five stages of grief tends to unravel. It's actually three tools of grief and two places in the mind to vacillate when trying to make sense of a nonsensical world. I feel that while certain episodes of Wanda Vision dealt more specifically with various "stages" of grief, depression doesn't need its own episode because while anger and bargaining and denial are all tools used to avoid acceptance, depression isn't a tool. It's a place. It's a state of mind. It's where you go before acceptance, and it's still there after acceptance. In fact Depression may reside inside Acceptance like The Vatican resides inside Italy, or perhaps Depression rules over Acceptance like the Roman Catholic Church permeates all of humanity. Depression is where we first meet MCU's Wanda. That's where she is when she finds Vision. That's where she is even when he gives her a moment of happiness. He lifts her up but there's too much. He can't completely eradicate her Depression, he can only give her a moment's respite but it's still there. Waiting. Vision was her love. Pietro was her brother. Depression was already there before her parents were lost. It's why she turned to sitcoms in the first place, to escape the reality of a war torn Sakovian neighborhood. She was practically born depressed. That's her wheelhouse. It's all she's ever truly known. Even throughout this show when she's smiling, there's a sadness behind her eyes. Elizabeth Olsen never forgets that deep down this character she's representing is bound to depression. She feels everything, and everything feels wrong. She has the power of gods but even that can't make her happy. They say money can't buy you happiness but it can buy enough distractions to keep your mind off your unhappiness for awhile. As a Survivor myself, who learned to stop fighting with depression a long time ago, I can say this entire series is about depression. It's not just about grief. I once had a meeting with a psychiatrist who met with me briefly and I told him I've always been depressed and he asked why am I depressed now and I summarized for a few minutes what was troubling me at that time and he said "your dad just died, you're getting a divorce and your job security is on thin ice. If you weren't depressed THEN I'd think something was wrong with you." What he didn't understand was that it's always something. I was depressed before those things happened and I'm depressed now and I don't really have specific reason to be. If it's not losing your parents in war torn Europe, it's losing your brother to Ultron. If it's not your fiancé dying because of Thanos it's coming back to life five years later to an empty house. If it's not that it's something else. Some argue that we choose to be depressed. I look at this reality and I don't understand how anybody can choose to not be depressed. THAT, to me, is denial. There's only one rational response to the stimuli of this universe. Depression isn't a tool for dealing with grief and it's not an obstacle to overcome. It's a rational response to an irrational universe. I think Wanda Vision illustrates that via speculative fiction in a very poignant and thought provoking way. it's a great show in that it's going to mean different things to different people, depending on where they are in terms of Depression at the time they experience this. It's gonna hit different people in different ways and that's a great trait of great art. Thanks for your insights, Georgia.
@satyrgrin
@satyrgrin 3 года назад
I felt the show glossed over depression as well. There is a specific moment, ironically, the one most people remember. "It can't always be sorrow, can it?" When it comes to clinical depression, YES, yes, it CAN always be sorrow. Vision is a synthezoid, he can be forgiven for speaking from a place of ignorance. I suspect he embodies where most people are when speaking with someone who lives with clinical depression. I would have appreciated more nuance and explanation here. It might have helped a great many people come to better understand clinical depression. It might have offered those living with it a tool to show others when they cannot adequately explain it.

The most amazing thing about this show is, that even with all this meta-narrative about coping with grief, which is done a lot better than in a LOT of other media on this topic, it's still a Marvel comic book movie with CGI laserbeam fights) And i think athe after-credit scene is showing us that unlike us all, who go back to the normal life after all stages of grief and accepting the loss, she's going to hard work on her powers, as she was shown, thatshe CAN change things. And we were shown in the show (nad in some older sources about the Scarlet Witch), that if all this was created by her subconciousness, her well-progressed concious effort could do so much more. Anyway, this review was super-nice, thank you very much! Would love to see some more reviews of pop-media from your perspective)

Respectfully.... The depression thing really hit me with this series and kinda set me straight..... I think the entire series is a testament to her depression especially after that sort of loss and the avoidance that can come with with it... That REALLY resonated with me because I realize I do the same thing frequently.... Personally, there are days I wake up after 8 hours sleep... I know I could get up and do things... I know there are things that need to get done.... but nothing seems as appealing in that moment as going back to sleep, because in sleep I don't have to face the reality... My dreams are actually happy... Even if I don't dream, at least my mind is quiet... Granted a lot of this is avoidance, but, those two tend to go hand in hand with me. I'm not in denial, I KNOW that thing happened, I just don't want to deal with it... Sleep is more peaceful. I know it's not real... But I still hate the alarm clock when it goes off. Wanda is so powerful that she can manifest her dreams into "reality" and that's what she's doing most of the show as she planned it... She's choosing to dream, to "sleep", instead of facing the world, even the one of her creation, not because she doesn't accept reality but just because it's easier.... In this world, her "dream world" everything's still fine... She's content, at least for a while... Because reality is exhausting sometimes...

I freaking love wandavision because it breaks the fourth wall in very subtle ways but never gets too meta with it. My favorite parts of the series, from a purely cinematic point of view, are those were the cinematic bars slowly shift around and become different. It's the most subtle change but it completely changes the feel of a scene.

Gotta say, I still cannot keep it together, when Wanda says "Thanks for choosing me, to be your mom" I don't know why, but it hits me in my core and I cry everytime or will be on the verge. Same with "We'll say hello again". This series was everything I wanted and more.

I’ve always seen the darkhold as a metaphor for alcoholism or addiction for Wanda- especially in MoM. Just because we go through the five stages of grief and come to terms with our loss doesn’t mean it’s okay and Wanda is still clearly depressed at giving up her dream life and family, and then picks up the darkhold as a distraction from her pain (to learn about her power) and the more she reads from it/ uses it the more this false sense of joy and happiness is promised to her without realising that it’s destroying her, making her angry and spiteful and even accelerating her destructive emotional state.

I love so much the way you are so comprehensive with the character's behaviour. I think so many people could relate to Wanda, or to many character's mental issues you've analised, and I think is so important that people like you shows us that somoene's mind is much more complicated than we see of someone's actions, and how you do it without "blaming" and understanding instead, makes me feel so nice watching your videos, that's why always cry with them xD!

Seeing Wanda breakdown and just let it all out a cathartic moment, I understood.

It's very hard for this show to spend a lot of time on depression. Not only is it difficult from a production perspective, but depression usually comes from a place of helplessness..... of powerlessness.... Wanda is anything but powerless.... and she knows it. Even at the end we see her pursuing ever more power in an attempt to undo her loss. She STILL hasn't dealt with denial. She still feels she has the power to reverse her loss. Once she accepts even she can't.... then depression will become much bigger part of her grieving process.

I guess we all felt lost in different ways, I don't know if what I suffer was or still is grief in some way, but after I suffer the death of each one of the three of my dogs on my arms, unable to do anything to save them from their destiny, I lost the willing of living, my most loved members of my family are in other countries and I never going to see them again and now, I'm alone in another country knowing that I can't go back to see any member of my family ever again. The only thought that I have on my head sometimes is that they are all dead and I have nothing to live for, only wait for my own death. I'm almost in my 30's but still, I sometimes can't forgive myself for all the past losses.

I am realizing I went thru denial, but not in death, more loneliness, because when I was 5 I sort of created the illusion of my best friend being with me in a summer camp for 4 days. I would spend about 1 hour alone, because everyone but me was inside, and then for 20 minutes or so, I would be with her, but turns out, it wasn’t her. I found out she wasn’t there and it’s pretty impossible that it’s just a messed up memory. And also went thru repressing a lot of trauma, and just now I am realizing it and what actually happened, and dealing with 14 years of it.

As someone who has been studying physiology and lose for 2 years now and someone who has lost a lot I know how she feels, in the beginning I couldn’t believe it so I didn’t, then I got into the anger, my rage flew away from me and hurt those around me with just a look, then when my opportunity came I bargained any way I could to even try and make it better, but then I reached acceptance in knowing my loss is my truth and pain is my beginning for a new chapter, if I had the power to recreate reality when things didn’t happen the way I thought they should we’d be on earth 75 (not saying that is the amount of times things haven’t gone “the right way” it’s just the amount of times I’ve let things get to me)

"What is grief, if not love perservering?" This episode aired exactly a week after I found out that my brother had killed himself This episode hurt me more than words can say, but it also reinforced what my therapist had tried to convince me: that I had done everything in my power to help him, and that what happened was ultimately his decision. This episode of WandaVision was probably the catalyst for me to start accepting that he's gone, and to help the rest of my family through the trauma.

In school I learned about Freud and abou development and also about Regression and so much that shes done in wandavision just speaks for it. I hope I explain it correctly. English isnt my first language. As a child she grew up at the edge of a warzone as we learn. She often watched these sitcoms with her family and it comforted her. Even after she lost his brother she always came back to sitcoms. Now she essentially lost everyone who was close to. Her parents, her brother, her lover and her best friend. And she draws back into the only comfort she ever had. Sitcoms. The reality where she has the control, where whenever something bad happened, it was just a funny scene and everything will have its happy end. I love how in every episode, something tragic happens and the era changes. Just like shes trying to escape into another sitcom, where she just starts again Until she comes to terms in the end

Personally, I thought that it also worked as an allegory for c-PTSD, which explains a bit of the unexplainable through the grief-only lens. Dissociative episodes. The uneven way depression hits. Her distrust of people, etc, fits more into c-ptsd than it does grief.

When your in extreme cases of trauma or grief, you can black memories/moments out. When she left vision's body she probably remembers driving to westview and everything but when she looked at that deed and realized all she lost, i believe thats when she blacked out and created the hex which is why when everyone ask her how did you do this, she has a bewildered confused look on her face. Her conscious mind was fractured into two. We operate from our conscious mind which is about 10% of our brain. Wanda chaos magic laid dormmate in the subconscious( 90%) until the grief and pain was soo intense that her conscious mind totally or partially collapsed allowing the sub to leak in and manifest the hex, causing her conscious mind to black it out while she was doing it.

Wandavision Also hit me hard I lost the love of my life A few years before this show aired I don't know I know depression bad. During that time I did not care at all about myself. I wanted to end it but I was not going to carry out that pushing way. But I was little reckless. Trying to cause arguments and fights. A man who does not care is a dangerous man. Correctly frighteningly I moved on still still depressed at times for the worst. We went together for 10 years, and they were the happiest kids in my life were likely to appreciate it now. But before even thinking about the good Times were hard on me. I think reminds the Pope Britney said that's all what is grief but love persevering I Feel that I can move on with my life. However, I am scared to love someone again. Because I don't know if I could go through that again.

years ago, my mom, and sister ended up arguing to the point where my sister felt that she had to leave us to live with her biological mother who lived in America.(We were living in Canada.)Then years after that, my mom, and step dad made a decision to move to the United States so that we could live closer to his biological parents. He went first, then Mom, and I got rid of the cats by giving them to somebody else, and all of our belongings that didn't fit into the vehicle. After that, we tried to follow him to Texas, but the border patrol wouldn't let us across the border because we had too much stuff in the vehicle. We had no idea what we should do, so we called my Grandma who lived in Minnesota to ask her what we could do because the place we were renting was given to somebody else. She knew a lady who had a cabin, and we stayed in that cabin for a year. It had very limited food, and water, and was infested with mice, and shrews in the winter, and ticks in the spring, and summer. It was a summer cabin not built for winter, so it was very cold. In that cabin, my dad sent divorce papers, so that didn't help. It was in that cabin that mom, and I started to experience grief, and it was a very strong grief that we both were experiencing that we ended up lying to ourselves, and couldn't see the truth. Mom became a victim to scammers in Africa, and she would send them money when we were both suffering instead of using that money to take care of us. I thought of home, and created a false reality to make up for the fact that I knew that we would both probably die in that cabin. We got kicked out of that cabin, and I got a ride from the landlord to stay with my grandparents this time with nothing, but clothes, and because mom didn't want to give up her car that she couldn't afford anymore, she got herself a tent, and lived in a campsite. Eventually, I got found out by the border patrol, and when they found out that I was staying there because I had no food, or water, or basic things that I needed, and was staying with them to get those basic needs, they helped me make a better life for myself than what I had, but I experienced my first panic attack when I got sent back to Canada because it reminded me of the time that we couldn't get across the border to live with my step dad. I stopped at the Canadian border patrol, and because they also wanted to help, a lady who worked there said that if victim services couldn't help, I should call her, and she would have a place that I could stay with her. Victim services put me in a few hotels, and the first one was across the road from the campsite that my mom was staying at, so I walked behind her, and said hi. At that moment she was showing a backpacker pictures of me. I helped her pack her things as it rained, and the wind blew to the point where it destroyed her tent, and by the next morning, the ground was flooded with water. Victim services gave us a few more hotel rooms to stay at, but they said that there was nothing that they could do to help us. So I used the hotels WIFI to find a place where my mom could stay, and I found a women's shelter in a nearby town. I called the lady at the border who said for me to call her, and I said that I needed a place to stay, and I told my mom to drop me off at the address that the lady who said that I could stay with her gave me, and I went to stay with her while my mom stayed at the women's shelter. Eventually I had to leave there because their grand daughter needed the room that I was living in, so they sent me to live with my mom, but the problem was that I was an 18 year old man, so I was not allowed to live in the women's shelter because I was not a girl, so they kicked me out, and my mom set up a place for me to stay at a place that was through the hospital for homeless people with disabilities, and I was both because I had autism, and probably more mental problems like grief, and I was homeless. I stayed there for about half a year, and couldn't do my school work because I needed to process everything that had happened up to this point because I had to be strong for my mom until I had that chance to grieve, and because I felt like I had lost everything, and everyone, I became depressed, and continued to want something that wasn't real. I so badly wanted to go back that I promised myself that I would come back when mom was safe because she didn't want to come back. I called my biological father who I barely knew to come, and get me, and he sent her girlfriend who brought me back to the place where I wanted to be. I stayed with her for over a year, but the problem is that I think I made my grief worse by making that denial a reality, and now I am getting myself all of the things that I should have gotten before like my grade 12 education, but it feels like a fantasy ,and now I realize that what was happening when I was with my mom, besides my delusions, that was real. Now I need to leave all of it behind because it isn't real, and it is very hard to do. Before I wrote this comment, I wasn't sure what I need to do, but it helped to walk myself through it, and make me realize that I need to give up this false reality. I am confused, but I think that I know what I need to do, but before I make a final decision, I need clarity. Does anybody have any idea how I can get that clarity?
