WandaVision (2021)

What earned the score

• White Male Authority Removed

  Kevin Feige said Doctor Strange’s planned cameo was cut because he did not want a “white guy” arriving to explain power to Wanda. The decision frames excluding a white male character as necessary to protect the female lead’s authority.

• Light-Touch Inequality Messaging

  A few lines point to racial and gender inequalities in the sitcom era, inserting contemporary social-justice cues into the period homage, though the messaging is restrained.

• Spoiler Reveals a plot point Show Hide

  Female Superhero Takes the Fight

  Wanda is one of the finale’s two primary combatants, unleashing her powers in a direct fight with the enemy. The series puts a woman in the superhero-fighter role.

• Woman Scientist on the Investigation

  Darcy Lewis is identified as a scientist working with Monica Rambeau and Jimmy Woo to penetrate the barrier around Westview. The series places a woman in a scientific role on the team investigating the crisis.

Parents Guide

• Sex None

  Mild and Brief Sexual Innuendos and references.

  Some kissing between Wanda and Vision.

  S1 E1 A woman asks another woman about her "seduction techniques" for her husband and she replies "I have those"

  Zero sex or nudity but some adult jokes.

  S1 E2 Wanda and Vision magically push their beds together to form one and disappear under the covers, nothing explicit.

  S1 E2 Wanda wears a one piece outfit as an assistant in a magic show.

  Some of cleavage for Wanda with one or two of her suits, as usual for her character throughout Marvel movies. When there is no cleavage, she is in a few form fitting outfits as she transitions to her new costume.

  Wanda is pregnant in the show, and there is a very, graphic scene of her pushing out her babies (but the show doesn't show any private stuff)

  Sexual content is infrequent, particularly in retro episodes that open the series.

  Nothing except couple of kisses.

• Violence Mild

  A dog is electrocuted (it is unharmed from this) but dies later on from eating azaleas. It is shown wrapped in a blanket so it isn't seen. Not disturbing but sad.

  Quicksilver is seen with bulletholes in him for a brief moment. Slightly bloody but not much different from Age of Ultron.

  Monica, Jimmy and Darcy get involved in a brief scuffle knocking out a few soldiers. No blood and the scene takes place in the dark so it may be hard to tell for viewers what's going on.

  A woman is cut with a broken peice of glass

  Wanda has a flashback of the night her parents died. Their bodies aren't seen but this is a rather sudden and shocking scene.

• Profanity None

  A man says d**n after hearing a noise outside

  The words 'd**n' and 'hell' are used in the same sentence.

  One of Wanda and Vision's guests, says d**n.

  Some insults and the use of "b**tard"

• Drugs None

  Characters drink wine.

• Frightening Scenes Mild

  The show seems normal, but then every 10 minutes or so, something very strange, creepy, and off-putting happens. For example they are scrambling to make dinner for Vision's boss, but then after all that comedy, Vision's boss chokes. Vision is frozen and doesn't do anything, and his boss's wife just sits there and eerily says "stop it" over and over. It is very off-putting, and there are many more tense moments like this.

  Vision is shown dead similar to the state he was in Infinity War. Brief but scary

  Wanda acts aggressive at some points in every episode. It is later revealed that she created a false reality out of grief for Vision.

  The aftermath of everyone returning from disappearing by Thanos is shown, and could be quite intense for some viewers, as some characters are in a lot of distress.

  Vision confronts Wanda about everything, and he acts very scared, yelling in distress. This could disturb some viewers.

  Quicksilver (Pietro Maximoff) is shown dead with three bullet holes in his chest/stomach. His lip is also bleeding and has grey eyes. Similar to what he looked like in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Brief but scary.

  The fact that Wanda is manipulating innocent people is pretty scary.

  After Agnes informs Vision that he's dead she proceeds to laugh maniacally.

  Agatha Harkness basement has some satanic stuff like "a goat, demon face, and a book that may scare young people."

  Agnes killed Billy and Tommy's dog.
