Well it's here! After more than 18 months, the MCU is back in full force and fans are loving it. This week saw the debut of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first foray into the world of television with WandaVision on Disney + ( check out our full review here ). The MCU's Phase 4 kickoff focuses on Wanda Maximoff and Vision as they traverse a little too good to be true slice of reality.
The first two episodes (which are streaming now) has viewers combing through every frame to see what little tidbits Feige and co. have left for the eagle-eyed among us. Critical reception of the MCU has been mostly positive in recent years and WandaVision does buck that trend thus far.

WHAT THIS MEANS
This is exciting news if you are a fan of the direction the MCU is heading. Fans (including myself) were a little apprehensive to see what a Marvel Studios property would look like in an episodic format, and if WandaVision's debut is any indication everything seems in good shape.
Now while it is exciting to see Marvel's latest get its moment in the sun (especially taking the risks it is taking), fans should not lock this in as the best project in the MCU, at least yet. We are only two episodes in, with seven more to go. A lot could change between now and Episode 9.
Viewers are only just starting on this journey, and if the quality of the first two episodes continues through WandaVision's run there should be no need to worry. This is just a case of not counting the super-powered chickens before they hatch.
