The first three episodes of WandaVision played on standard sitcom tropes for the 50s then the 60s and finally the 70s.

Wandavision 50s 60s. Emily Aslanian January 15 203 pm. Last year Elizabeth Olsen revealed that the Disney series would be set in the 50s a spoiler that is made clear in two newly released episodes which both aired in black and white. The WandaVision commercials could definitely be key to answering that question.

In the first three episodes of the series the two titular characters Avengers Wanda and Vision appear to be starring in takeoffs of typical sitcoms from the 50s 60s and 70s. Part of that homage to each decade of television includes a commercial for products that have ties to Wandas traumatic past. In the first three episodes of WandaVision one of the most surprising aspects of the sitcom reality was the commercials.

The creators of WandaVision probably elected to pass off The Dick Van Dyke Show as a 1950s series so they could reserve the 1960s episode for the show most obviously suited to a show about Scarlet Witch Bewitched. Its totally understandable to be a bit confused as to when WandaVision takes place seeing as how the first four episodes technically jumped from the 50s to the 60s to the 70s and then through. The references to Bewitched in this episode are similar to that of The Dick Van Dyke Show in the previous one.

Episode 1 saw a return to the 50s in what was very much a celebration of sitcoms like I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show. After three episodes recreating idyllic family sitcoms from the 50s 60s and 70s with a few jarring intermissions the fourth episode of WandaVision finally took viewers outside of Westview.

With Wanda and Vision little. So far weve seen Elizabeth. Another reviewer pegged the year of the first episode as 1961 given other clues and also visual similarities to the Dick Van Dyke Show.

They make the show feel really like a retro TV series cutting into the humor to sell household items for people in the 50 60 and 70s. Dick Van Dyke actually consulted on Wandavision Some of it does code more 50s but that might work out for a show in the early 60s. In the first episode of WandaVision we see life through the lens of MCU characters Wanda Maximoff and Vision as they embark on a new life together in the quaint town of Westview made complete with gender roles.
