Wandavision "Filmed Before A Live Studio Audience" Review

 

Marvel fans it's been quite a long time since I last talked about Wandavision and well I thought that it was about time that I talked about this show some more simply because this show was that good in my opinion anyways / at least and now while I indeed talked about this episode when I did my first impressions of Wandavision. This is my actual review of the episode and so you can expect an actual rating at the end of this particular / very review and so join me as I review the debuting episode of Wandavision with the episode in question being called simply just "Filmed Before A Live Studio Audience" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is newlywedded couple Wanda Maximoff and Vision can't remember what is so special about the day that is marked of with a teeny tiny little heart on their calendar and with that hilarity ensues. You guys have no idea how hard it was for me just to write that little summery for this episode because it's so hard to describe what the actual plot of this episode actually is but that might be the point of the show as a whole tho and if i'm being honest the whole boss coming to dinner plot is huge sitcom trope plot line and it's perfect for this show and this plot line was a decent enough plot line to set up this show even if the plot line could be a little bit thinly drawn out at times tho in my opinion anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff , Paul Bettany as Vision and the sitcom comedy legend that is Debra Jo Rupp as Mrs. Hart. Also starring in this episode is Fred Melamed as Arthur Hart , Kathryn Hahn as Agnes , Asif Ali as Norm , David Lengel as Phil Jones , Ithamar Enriquez as Commercial Man , Victoria Blade as Commercial Woman and Amos Glick as Dennis The Mailman.

Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode in all honesty I honestly thought that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode was really good. This is because alot of the actors and actresses that we see in this episode are genuinely really good actors and actresses and even tho looking back you can see certain clues to certain plot points being woven into the performances it's wonderful to see these great actors and actresses weave in these little hints at future plot points and have it be done with just a look which was something I personally rather enjoyed seeing in this very / particular episode.




Now then as alot of who watched Wandavision all the way through the first time as it was being released then you'll know that this show takes alot from alot of classic sitcoms with this episode in particular borrowing stuff from The Dick Van Dyke Show. Now then I honestly do like that both this episode and this show would go out of their way to incorporate several different things that we've seen in various different sitcoms all through out the years as it shows that this makers of this particular / very episode and that the makers of this particular / very TV show have a deep love and a deep understanding of sitcoms and what it is exactly that makes sitcoms so great and so fun to watch.   


I have to fully admit that I think that Marvel is rushing themselves by pumping out / turning out and releasing so many new shows. There's no harm in taking your time in releasing new TV shows just because one TV show has ended doesn't mean that you have to release another one the next / following week which is kind if what Marvel have been doing since about a week or two after Wandavision ended they started releasing The Falcon And The Winter Solider and a week or two after The Falcon And The Solider finished they / Marvel starting releasing episodes of Loki and it was getting to the point where it was becoming to much to soon and honestly because of how fast that these shows were being released I in all honesty haven't seen that much of either Loki or The Falcon And The Winter Solider.

Now then if someone was to say to me that they didn't lie this episode then I would completely understand their point of view. This is simply because the entire concept for / behind this show is kind of strange since you have these comic book characters one of whom you've already seen die and now they are living together in a sitcom type of world / environment that is a pretty strange concept for anyone to wrap their heads around but I will very fully admit that if you love / like the sitcom genre then you'll appreciate all of the tropes and clichés that get touched upon in this very / particular episode in my opinion anyways / at least.


One of the things that I really didn't like about this episode is that it really didn't go as far as it perhaps could or perhaps should have done with it's parody of pretty much all if not alot of 1950's sitcoms. Like they should have had the intro theme / music for this episode be done a big old old school band and there shouldn't have been any hints at Vision and Wanda getting it on shall we say simply because there wasn't any of those kinds of hints in any 1950's American sitcom.

This very / particular episode has a grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets and thirty three seconds which I honestly felt that that running time was a bit on the long side. Simply because this episode doesn't really have enough there in terms of plot to cover that amount of running and so if anything this episode should have been at the very have been twenty two minuets long in my opinion anyways / at least.



Now then this particular episode is meant to be a comedy and so that means that I have to talk about the actual jokes that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular / actual episode and in my opinion anyways / at least the jokes that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular / actual episode aren't that bad. The issue is however that the jokes that are in this episode aren't that good either which is a shame because when a joke lands it really does work well.


Overall this was a really good first episode to a really great TV series / TV show but this very / particular episode does indeed have it's fair share of problems tho and it's those issues that keep this very / particular episode from being perfect in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very / particular episode in this very review and as such this very / particular episode gets a score of an 8 out of 10 from this fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Now then as for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official CBS fandom wiki page , Wikipedia and from the official Marvel Cinematic fandom wiki page. With my personal favourite website to use to get the actual images that are from this very / particular episode that I actually used in this very review being the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page simply because alot of if not all of the images that are currently up featured and on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.
