Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch (and played by Elizabeth Olsen), finds herself living through a version of \u201950s, \u201960s, and \u201970s era TV sitcoms, alongside her atypical romantic partner, a synthetic android named Vision (Paul Bettany). The couple constitutes a classic pair: a homemaking housewife and an office drone husband; she frets over fitting in with the neighbors, and he stresses over a promotion being dangled at work. Early episodes air in black-and-white, a \u201clive\u201d audience can be heard laughing at the rat-a-tat banter, and everything is framed in the ol\u2019 box top\u2019s 4:3, rather than the now-standard widescreen format.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seenit.in\/explore\/quests\/zendaya?search=zendaya&#038;_mob=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2195_shop.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_31698\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mLf7hB-zSqI?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_41217\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j8w6j7khq3I?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vElizabethOlsen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by vElizabethOlsen<\/a> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the first three episodes of \u201cWandaVision,\u201d it\u2019s both easy to see and hard to defend why the first Disney+&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-hollywood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21884"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21884\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21887,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21884\/revisions\/21887"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
