With all nine episodes of WandaVision having been officially released, fans finally have the opportunity to binge the entire series at once. For mega-fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, however, it was a suspenseful week-to-week release schedule.
The episodic nature of WandaVision helps prepare both fans and casual viewers for what to expect when it comes to the mountains of series ahead of us. This year alone promises to deliver The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, What If?, Ms. Marvel, and Hawkeye, with Ironheart, She-Hulk, Moon Knight, Secret Invasion, Armor Wars, I am Groot, Wakanda, and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special still to come.
Although WandaVision kicked off the new phase of weekly episodic content, Marvel initially considered dropping the entire series at once. Kevin Feige recently spoke with TV Line about this decision, and it sounds like a big factor was the success of The Mandalorian.
"Everybody at Disney+ had decided — and we very much agreed with — the notion of the fun of week to week. And The Mandalorian has certainly proven this: There’s something fun to be able to follow along, to try to guess what happens next. With that said, I think it’ll be another experience — an equally fun experience — to binge them once they’re all available.”
What do you guys think? Do you prefer the weekly wait, or would you like the ability to choose whether or not you binge the series? Be sure to share your thoughts on the matter in the usual spot.
All nine episodes of WandaVision are now available on Disney+, with Falcon and the Winter Soldier premiering this Friday. In the meantime, Marvel super-fans can hear our chat with Into the Spider-Verse director Peter Ramsey below!
