I think I know why Vision could not correctly make Wanda paprikash--he was almost certainly using sweet paprika instead of Hungarian paprika. #WandaVision has got me thinking about every first in their relationship that we never got to see.
It's as if we were robbed of both their past and, thanks to Thanos, their future. which is why #WandaVision is so satisfying. because we get to spend time with these characters and their relationship is given space to breathe, instead of merely being presented as a fait accompli.
When the series begins, Wanda and Vision know as little about their history as we do. We don't know what song they first danced to, or what their anniversaries are. This is the first MCU romance since Steve and Peggy where we watch it blossom and grow.
and before you say Tasha and Bruce, they never really actually read to me as a relationship, so much as 'I don't know what to do with these two characters to give them a story so let's put them in a romance that comes out of nowhere, so we can safely fridge Clint's family.'
Why yes, I am angry and bitter that they only brought in Laura and the kids from the Ultimates comics to fridge them to give Clint manpain. patara, I hear you say, what about Wanda having to kill Vision? Isn't that just woman pain?
No, my friend, the two are not equal. when they decided to have Vision's life tied to the Infinity Stones they had Vision's death built into their entire 23 movie-long arc. Moreover, his death was not a device to drive other people's stories.
The great thing about comics (or the frustrating thing depending on your POV) is that nobody stays dead except for Uncle Ben and Martha and Thomas Wayne.
Bucky proved the value of not letting death stop you from telling a great story.
Let's hope the same is true for Vision.
