    S01.E09: The Series Finale

    in WandaVision

    Doctor Strange doesn't have the Time Stone so I'm not sure if he can time whimmy any more. But he's also only been back for 3+ weeks. I have no idea what has happened to the Sanctum Sanctorum when he went away. Was Wong able to protect everything? Or was he snapped? It's hard to answer the why didn't doctor Strange come when we don't know what's happening with him yet.

    Spider Man 2 was about 7 months from WandaVision and Vision is still thought to be dead during it. So we definitely need more info to understand what is happening in phase 4 and 5.

    No, but who wouldn't want one anyway?  😉

    I don't think that's a spoiler?  She was just on Jimmy Fallon and talked about it, and I feel like it's been known for awhile.  But I guess I should have put some of my comments in spoiler tags?

    It's not info that came from Wandavision so I wasn't sure. I thought it better to secure than to accidentally spoil. You probably know the rules for this forum better than I do.

    You're right I would have loved a Benedict Cumberbatch cameo but I know he would be an expensive cameo.

    If a powerful witch tells you to run, you run. To save their children they were going to need help. And they knew Wanda was suffering and that she had the power to make things worse. 

    Evan Peters was used to give the audience the same WTF that Wanda was feeling with the emergence of her brother. It wasn't just to mess with fans for no reason other than to mess with us. Though showrunners have been known to do that 🙃

    The emotion was top notch in this episode and the whole show. All the performances were on a high level. 

    I would have loved to see Darcy more but I have a feeling there is a reason she wasn't at the final end moment with Monica and Woo. Rather that was actor related or because they are doing something with Darcy that explains her leaving Westview without us seeing her respond to the show she was invested in, I don't know.

    Wanda is more powerful than the sorcerer supreme and she was astro learning in the end credits scene like Doctor Strange. I think that was enough to suggest more to come on Doctor Strange 2. I don't need a Benedict Cumberbatch cameo.

     

    Though I did come in with the knowledge that Elizabeth Olsen is already filming for Doctor Strange. And that the young actors playing Billy and Tommy have posted social media stuff showing they are both near where DS2 is filming.

    Spoilers & Speculation: Running Hot & Cold

    in Legends Of Tomorrow

    Worry comes naturally.

    When you watch the end of Arrow s2 and have Caity at Comic Con, as if she was part of the Arrow cast, just for them to literally throw her character off the roof into the trash and then a few episodes in, see that they literally frigged her, yeah worry comes naturally. Imo.

    And LOT has been forcing Ava into the captaincy all season. Now Sara is literally gone. What a coincidence.

    And Phil Klemmer doesn't give me any confidence. Even goes into Ava when Asked about if Nate will morn Zari 1.0. He won't have time because he will have comfort Ava. Oh he says Sara and Ava are like the parents of the Legends but for Phil, "With one parent gone, I like the idea that Nate is a bit of a goofball and a bit of bro sometimes, but that he's really gained some real wisdom and he would be able to support what's missing". 

    Neither of the interviews Phil did, talk about where Sara will be and do while being kidnapped or how she might feel. And now having to wait almost a whole year, I'm just a totally unamused fan.

    Yeah that’s the thing.  They obviously like Maisie, enough to invent a way for her to stay on the show when Amaya’s storyline had come to an end, but then after Legends of To-Meow-Meow she kind of faded into the background until this Clotho storyline kicked into high gear.  So.....I don’t know.  I really like Maisie and Charlie, and I would hate to see her go, but I wouldn’t be surprised.  Sadly.  😢

    I originally assumed an abduction would just be a reason to have Maisie gone the first few episodes of the season. She has always had a more limited role in the beginning of the season and she was just gone the beginning of s5. I don't think Maise has a full season contract but one similar to Arthur Darvill 's in season 2.  Now I think (fear) it will be Sara and it's to raise Ava and limit Sara some more.

    in Legends Of Tomorrow

    Sara being abducted wouldn't be about giving Sara her own storyline. I won't be surprised if Caity ends up directing the first or second episode of the season. So to explain Sara's absence with Caity busy. When Sara comes back she probably will have no memories when she returns but comes back. Similar to Rip. But the main object will feel like it's to make Ava sole captain. Imo. For me this making Ava Captain just feels similar to what happened with Sara giving Laurel her Canary jacket and then Sara dying and Laurel taking up the Canary mantle.

    And the thought of a Nate/Zari/John love triangle is super annoying. Zari&Nate never worked as a relationship. And Zari&John sparked right away.

    S05.E13: I Am Legends

    in Legends Of Tomorrow

    The deaths seem to be about Charlie. She has been running from her family forever. She turned into a little girl the first time she saw her sister in years. Now she is running to face them, so she can save the Legends. 

    Also, Sara accepting what her vision told her and giving Ava her mantra. I felt very similar to when watching Sara gave Laurel her jacket. Not a good feeling by the way...

    I think Constantine and Zari are fun to watch. Better than any other romantic couple on the show now and it feels natural like Ray and Nora did.

    Sara Lance: The Canary Rises In White

    in Legends Of Tomorrow

    They wouldn't even have to get rid of Avalance though. Just allow for Sara's pov and let Sara's emotions drive development. And for Sara to have actual moments with her team. This kind of thing always happens when you become the love interest. It's just that Sara was way more than that and should have stayed way more. Especially to Ava, imo,  a boring character.

    Is there criticism coming from other places than here though?  I’m truly asking, because I don’t know.  I mean, on Tumblr it looks like as long as people keep getting Avalance they couldn’t care less about Sara as a character by herself (which is frustrating on a number of levels), but maybe that’s just Tumblr.  I haven’t been following the reviews and I’m not on Twitter, so I really don’t know.  

    There has been some criticism from all over. Mainly people missing Sara and trying to explain it away by blaming the Crossover, Caity directing and the Arrow finale. But the Avalance fans have taken over the Sara fandom. As long as there are cute moments they mostly gush so the criticism is just a small part overall. A lot of proclaiming Avalance one of the healthiest relationship on Tv and definitely the healthiest in the Arrowverse. Even though one side, Sara has to always compromise to pacify Ava. Imo.

    Sara bonded with Zari 1.0, Amaya, Constantine, Stein and Jax and early on Cold, Rory and Kendra. It wasn't until Ava became a full on love interest and now the main character of the couple, that Sara has has been reduced. It has never been about screen time for me but quality screen time and Sara had that in the Crossover and first episode of the season. Nothing since. Not ever a truly emotional goodbye with Ray. Not even when she became blind. She felt she was going to kill her teammates and they believed she was going crazy. So really the last 2 seasons and some of the later part of season 3. It has been about pushing Ava's growth. Plus the more Legends loses characters they feel less and less like a Family. College roommates is what they feel like in season 5. This episode is fitting.

    in Legends Of Tomorrow

    I rewatched this episode and there is this the legends are rule followers now. Not even because time travel has to have rules or chaos. Ava has brought the Time Bureau rule following as the go to for legends! 

    And I just realized that Sara hasn't talked to Astra or Zari 2.0 She had a bit of conversation with Charlie but it's still just AVA that she has all her (very limited) flesh-outness with. They try to flesh out AVA but she's still mainly just the traits that Rip programed into her.  I was thinking that the writers thought giving AvaLance "cute" moments was meant to make Sara fans happy which was annoying enough, but I've now learned that those moments are usually actor touches. The writers don't provide much.

    There is only 3 episodes to go and I don't care about Astra (and I did when she was just in John's nightmares). I like Zari but that is again all actress. Charlie has finally got some nuance which I do like but she's really the only one. With Astra having a touch. Imo.

    Caity didn't seem convinced her job was safe the last time they let her speak to reporters.

    That (along with the lack of enthusiasm for both the power/disability story, questioning the focus on Ava, and spelling out how resistant they are to allowing acknowledgment of Sara's family) might be why we haven't heard from her in an official PR capacity since even as the rest of the cast is being interviewed about far less significant developments for their characters.

    I just don't get why it's gotten to this point in the first place. It's honestly baffling to me. I can think of very, very few situations where a show has treated a lead this way or worse, and every other instance was owed to obvious institutional issues like racism, there were personal issues for the actor, or conflicts behind the scenes. It's clearly not the first here and you'd be hard-pressed to convince me it could be the second.

    They probably are trying to push Caity out. Or at least making it so she can't ask for lead money if the show is renewed again. I'm 99% sure money was why they fired Brandon.
