But Agatha brought out pietro. She has access to the mutantverse.
No, she didn't. She specifically calls him a fake.

And her latent abilities were being a witch, not a mutant.

After this episide I think I've figured out a little bit of Marvels' secret formula.

The Feige-ster is clever enough not to make things too convoluted. The MCU does get wacky, especially as the movies and shows go on because of the characters and magic and space stuff starts to come in to what used to be standard superhero fare, but: it doesn't get convoluted when you compare a lot of the theories out there about Mephisto, or the mutants/X-Men, or the multiverse, or Dr Strange or the Fantastic Four showing up. All of these things can and at some point probably will happen, but they keep their individuals stories, like the main plot of WandaVision, relatively simple for effective drama, and then just fill in the edges with all the Marvel flavour and easter eggs to keep fans happy and give themselves more to work with as they keep sprinkling things in.

I guess it seems obvious when I type it out, but I guess my point is people's theories, which I always enjoy reading, are usually not correct because it's almost always the more simple solution, while still keeping people happy with all the juicy tidbits, like reference the Nexus/Nexus beings for example.

It reminds me of the Russo brothers (I think) talking about how they almost put The Living Tribunal in Infinity War but decided against it because it would be too confusing for your average viewer. But because they put in things like certain Dr Strange spells, the infinity stones, and the re-appearance of characters like Red Skull, almost no one leaves unsatisfied even if they weren't correct about the Cosmic being becoming involved, or Mistress Death, or whatever other theories they had. Same with Civil War, which people had a lot of theories about.

The nice thing about vague references is that you can build on them later and look like forward thinking geniuses or drop them entirely and have them be just a bit of fanservice for the hard-core fans.

So long as you doing overdo it or get too obnoxious about it your great.
It's definitely a balancing act. And it's impressive they've been able to maintain it for so long, with no signs of slowing down.

All I can find is him saying they plan content 5 or 6 years out, which is separate from his comment on mutants where he just says they're coming with no reference whatsoever to a timeline.
I may have conflated the 2 statements. Either way, they don't seem to be building towards it currently.

not yet, but Im sure the ending is gonna have some sort of dissipation of the hex and have some sort of blowback
Highly doubtful. Feige has already said mutants are at least 5 years away.

So Wanda really is gonna be the reason that mutants get introduced to the MCU isnt it, like shes gonna go crazy next episode and dispel the hex around the world or something - also interesting they finally called her the Scarlett witch - did they not name her as part of the Fox deal?
No. This has nothing to do with mutants.

So at best these people potentially murdered someone for 10k a piece. Not a good trade.
Sadly, people have killed for a lot less.

Maybe a bad choice of words. She isn't really black, but she is fairly dark-skinned.
She'd be analogous to an Inuit woman.

Also, to answer the question, I think their characters were just the type to be all talk and no show. They were too unequipped mentally to actually do anything.

Everyone at the age talks about and imagines having sex with the hottest girls ever. But for a lot, if it was to become available, you'd instantly turn into a nervous wreck thinking about how many ways you could fuck everything up and embarrass yourself.

I turned down a decent amount of sex at that age because of this >_>
This. The entire point of the film was that the guys were super-nerds who lacked any sort of confidence or self-respect. She spends the entire movie building them up. Lisa would have slept with them if they had actually made a move but then she wouldn't have been needed to begin with. Weird Science was basically Mary Poppins for horny teens.

Snyder hand picked Whedon to take over for him, it wasn't the studio.
Wait, is there a source for this? Because Snyder (and his fans) has been crapping all over Whedon about his version for awhile now.

No. Officially it's Earth 19999.

Fox QS is highly overrated. He was nothing at all like his comic version, had a cliche personality and a broken powerset.
