4 Awesome Links To The MCU Found In The First 3 “Wandavision” Episodes

Usually, all of us are always looking forward to Fridays, the start of the weekend, and now, with Wandavision airing once a week on that day, it simply doesn’t come fast enough. The first three episodes of Wandavision, which started airing on Disney+ on January 15th, take a look at Wanda’s life after the events of Avengers: Endgame. We don’t know much, but fans all over the globe have been speculating, and what we all think is that Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) is trying to keep Vision (Paul Bettany) alive in any way possible, which has driven her to create an alternate reality for her and Vision to live in, out of grief. Fans also say she’s even got real people trapped in it to make it more realistic. 

Even if you’ve already seen the first three episodes of Marvel’s newest show, there are a lot of amazing links to the Marvel Cinematic Universe you might have missed. Let’s take a deep look at the coolest ones I’ve found.

1. Vision is “A walking computer.”

In the first episode, we see Vision going off to work at an office. He isn’t quite sure of what his job is about, and his coworker, Norm (Asif Ali), is happy to tell him they produce computational forms, and then goes on to tell him that their productivity has risen above the roof since Vision started working for them. Then, Norm tells him this:

The quote “You’re like a walking computer” is obviously a nod towards the fact that Vision was, at some point, J.A.R.V.I.S. (Just A Rather Very Intelligent Computer System), Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) computer system. Vision was created when J.A.R.V.I.S.’s protocols were uploaded onto Ultron’s vibranium body and combined with the Mind Stone. Vision is obviously alarmed by Norm’s statement, since he is, in fact, a walking computer.

2. The Stark Industries Toaster

Later on, we can also see a commercial promoting the new “ToastMate 2000”, a product created by Howard Stark for Stark Industries. Sound familiar? Of course, it does, Stark Industries is Tony Stark’s company, and it has a very deep connection with Wanda’s past. Wanda is Slovakian, and when she was just a little girl, her, and her twin brother Pietro (Aaron Taylor Johnson) were having dinner with their parents when a mortar shell hit their building and killed both of their parents. Wanda and Pietro were both stuck beneath the rubble and a second mortar shell fell close to them but didn’t go off. On the side, the mortar had the written inscription “Stark Industries”. The twins resented Stark for a long time, because a Stark Industries product killed their parents and put them through a lot of trauma. The toaster’s beeping is clearly an allusion to that mortar shell, because it sounds a lot like a bomb.

3. The Strücker Watch

In the second episode, we can see a commercial about a watch, “Strücker”. We can also see that the brand is “HYDRA”. These two names both have a deeper meaning. HYDRA was the organization founded by Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) during World War II, that was focused on world domination and infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D., corrupting it. On the other hand, Wolfgang von Strücker (Thomas Kretschmann) was an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division), and secretly a HYDRA member. He was the one who experimented with energy from the Infinity Stone in Loki’s (Tom Hiddleston) scepter on Wanda and Pietro, which led to them gaining powers that they wanted to use to end the war in Slovakia.

4. Hydra Soak

In the latest Wandavision episode, which, unlike the last two episodes, is full of color, we can see a third commercial, this time for “Hydra Soak”. As I’ve mentioned before, HYDRA infiltrated and corrupted S.H.I.E.L.D. In the fourth season of  Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. , Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) tells Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet) about HYDRA making a blue “mind control soap” to mess with people’s heads.

Hydra Soak could definitely be it, and it could be an allusion to everyone around Wanda and Vision being controlled into playing along in Wanda’s fake world. The commercial is also an allusion to the Mind Stone in Loki’s Scepter “giving” Wanda and Pietro powers (the scepter emits a blue light). According to the Marvel Studios Visual Dictionary, the scepter unlocked these powers, that were rooted deep inside of Wanda, “Finding the goddess within”.

The Bottom Line

Wandavision is still very new, and all of these links may have a deeper meaning than we think. We’ve got to keep our eyes open, in case Wandavision decides to bless us with more nostalgic links to the past.

Marvel head canons that I want to be canon Pt. 2 (Stucky edition) (As if the first one wasn't Stucky enough)

When Bucky asked Steve if he was keeping the outfit that one time at the bar, he was actually trying to prove that Steve kept having the same feelings for him as before the serum or if as everyone said, what they felt for each other was a sickness and the serum cure Steve of it. Why saying that and not other thing probably more suitable and less flirty? Well, because that was an inside joke they had, when Bucky was named Sargent and wore his uniform for the first time Steve liked it so much that everytime when Bucky asked Steve for dates after work Steve always said, "On one condition Buck. You're keeping the outfit right?".

It's not a secret for anyone that Steve had a picture of Peggy on his compass, but it was really her who Steve was looking all this years? The answer is not, Peggy's picture used as a protection, protection of the real Steve's treasure, there were 2 pictures of Bucky behind Peggy's, of course he had to cover them because he couldn't be caught looking a man's pictures every time he opened his compass, it would be very suspicious and dangerous for him and Bucky, so he's very grateful to Peggy because her picture not only protects Bucky's but also protects the most important thing for him, his relationship and whole love story with Bucky, even when they don't have anything to be scared of any more because they both live in a more progressive age he still has Peggy's picture covering Bucky's because of the nostalgia, even though Bucky doesn't like the idea so much. Poor little Bucky, he's still jealous after everything they went through, anyone would thought that all those sacrifices would been enough prove of who really is Steve's love of his life, right?
