'WandaVision' Proves Great Superhero Stories Are Just Great Stories, Period.
The Disney+ series WandaVision aired its season finale this week; critic Eric Deggans calls it a comic nerd's dream that's also accessible to audiences who may not know all the Marvel comics lore.
As the finale episode from the first season of Disney+'s fantabulous Marvel series WandaVision drops, one thing is clear:
This show is a comic nerd's dream.
Not just for the way it centers an ambitious, revelatory story on two characters beloved by comic book fans — heroes full of promise, who have not really gotten their due in big budget blockbusters like the last two Avengers movies.
The series works because it proves an important point: Bypulls in even those who tend to turn their noses up at capes and cowls and supervillains, while also becoming a TV-sized embodiment of all the best storytelling devices from decades of comic books.
