Multi-verse is basically anything goes. Do anything, make any change with any character, and call it a multiverse.

It reduces the stakes for me. Nobody dies. Everybody can come back. Everything can be undone. Everything can be reversed. Just go to a different universe.

I’ve always enjoyed multiverse / parallel timeline stories. As a viewer I like seeing different versions of familiar characters. But most of all I like the metaphor behind the multiverse. Parallel timeline stories are a reminder that we have the potential to be anything we want to be, that we don’t need to conform to expectations, either those we set for ourselves or set on by others. Conversely, they can also remind us to appreciate the life we have as things could be a lot worse.

Mhmm I thought Episode 5 was a bit boring after they answered 90% of the questions in Episode 4 all the mystery was gone. At least there was some nice fan service.

I don’t believe “all the mystery” is gone. There’s still plenty of mystery/unanswered questions.

It also prevents the need for excessive rebooting, and repetitive origin stories.

I'm tremendously glad that both DC and Marvel are embracing the multiverse. It's really the only way to stay cohesive going forward.

Just watched the episode, and

Wasn't expecting WandaVision to set it up though.

[Show spoiler]What if Carol gave her the cancer?

So since everything in the HEX is distorted reality and Vision is "alive"

[Show spoiler] that could mean the mindstone is in play.

90%?

Who is doing this?
How did Wanda know where to find Vision's body?
How is alive?
What happens to the boys when the walls come down?
Why does Agnes keep breaking character?
Who is the person in witness protection?
Why did the scan fail on Monica?
Who did Monica text?
Did all these people live in West View or were they brought there for a reason?

[Star Lord]

Wait weren't people complaining the mystery thing is going on for too long.

Any bets on whether or not Vision remains alive at the end of this? I'm afraid we're in for some sad shit.

Unless he is reformatted as this Vision.

I have not, but they got some of it right. Vision was in pieces.

[Show spoiler]How? Mindstone was destroyed though.

[Show spoiler]So was Vision. Remember the Mindstone gave off radiation. If it was recreated then it would affect people differently. The easiest way to get into peoples heads is the mindstone. Wanda being close to it could possibly amplify her powers. Could this also mean the people in westview are also dead?

[Show spoiler]I think there’s more to it than that. I’m also pretty sure Wanda has everyone in Westview under her hex.

Though this could all be explained later in the season.

I'm not sure why we're spoilerizing speculation but ok.

[Show spoiler] All of the stones were replaced by Steve at the end of Endgame. I don't think they're going to go there though because it's too soon after Endgame to be going back to Infinity Stones.

[JayTL]

Yeah, there's a ton more questions being asked over questions being answered.

This show is evolving every single episode and nothing is really known yet.

[John1701D]

The time travel stuff is very headache-y though. According to Marvel Studios all the stones are actually destroyed.

Not sure if you remember but I brought this up before. The stones are the universe. They cannot be destroyed. If they were the universe would be wiped.

If the stone exists on the show it is not the actual stone, since everything in the hex is distorted reality. There was an episode of Next Generation where they made a lab in the holodeck. It was made to function like the real lab, so drew outside radiation. Since you have made possibly a fake stone, it is pulling the radiation from the real stone.
