Hey, man. I had to get this out before the Invincible post, but I'm moving the other one up for next week so that we can discuss that 😃

I definitely feel you, man. I totally get how a lot of people can be turned off by the earlier episodes. Heck, even Vision's final fight (spoilers) is a bit too anti-climactic.

The series itself is heavy on dealing with grief and not a lot of action. But, it does deviate from the normal MCU movie in that regard.

I think WandaVision isn't an "essential" watch in terms of getting caught up with the MCU storyline, but it does open up the door for The Marvels (Captain Marvel 2), Secret Invasion (the Nick Fury-centered series), Armor Wars (potentially?) and Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness.
