| Topic | WandaVision Episode 8 Topic *SPOILERS* |
| Stalolin 02/26/21 5:48:57 PM #48 | After this episide I think I've figured out a little bit of Marvels' secret formula. The Feige-ster is clever enough not to make things too convoluted. The MCU does get wacky, especially as the movies and shows go on because of the characters and magic and space stuff starts to come in to what used to be standard superhero fare, but: it doesn't get convoluted when you compare a lot of the theories out there about Mephisto, or the mutants/X-Men, or the multiverse, or Dr Strange or the Fantastic Four showing up. All of these things can and at some point probably will happen, but they keep their individuals stories, like the main plot of WandaVision, relatively simple for effective drama, and then just fill in the edges with all the Marvel flavour and easter eggs to keep fans happy and give themselves more to work with as they keep sprinkling things in. I guess it seems obvious when I type it out, but I guess my point is people's theories, which I always enjoy reading, are usually not correct because it's almost always the more simple solution, while still keeping people happy with all the juicy tidbits, like reference the Nexus/Nexus beings for example. It reminds me of the Russo brothers (I think) talking about how they almost put The Living Tribunal in Infinity War but decided against it because it would be too confusing for your average viewer. But because they put in things like certain Dr Strange spells, the infinity stones, and the re-appearance of characters like Red Skull, almost no one leaves unsatisfied even if they weren't correct about the Cosmic being becoming involved, or Mistress Death, or whatever other theories they had. Same with Civil War, which people had a lot of theories about. --- "Don't worry about the rain. Walk between the raindrops." |

| Topic | WandaVision Episode 7 Topic *SPOILERS* |
| Stalolin 02/20/21 2:45:24 AM #98 | Per the wiki: Mephisto is an extra-dimensional demon who first appeared as a fly, while the Celestial known as the Progenitor succumbed to the Horde, with Mephisto taking this opportunity to lay his maggots.[12] He rules a fiery pocket dimension that he calls "Hell" or "Hades" although it is neither the Hell of the Christian religion nor the Hades ruled by Pluto, the Olympian god of the dead. Mephisto calls his extra-dimensional realm "hell" in order to exploit Earth human beings' belief in a single being of absolute evil, who is often referred to as Satan, who rules such a realm. --- "Don't worry about the rain.
