I'm getting major Trask vibes from Hayward. He obviously does not like superheros. I feel like Ultron will play a big part going forward. So excited!

I’m still waiting for the X-Men connection.

I almost forgot my boy Herb was back lol

People everywhere saying this event creates Mutants somehow. But can that account for older major Mutants that would pre-date the event, like Wolverine (over 150), Xavier, and Wanda's father himself? Maybe only if it somehow works retroactively through history or something.

I put this in the other thread but I’m gonna put it here since the discussion will probably love here

Ok here’s my running theory.

-Sword guy was using Visions body to create weapons

-Wanda finds out and busts in to steal him back

-Having his body she again falls into despair, and subconsciously reaches out to the darkness she describes to Pietro (this mirrors the yogurt commercial as well when the shark offers the boy something to eat in his time of need but he doesnt get what he actually wants) which is Mephisto or some other entity that promises to use her power to bring Vision back at a cost, most likely the creation of her kids that would serve Mephisto. What the yogurt commercial foreshadows is that Wanda was never going to get what she wanted out of the deal and that its all a lie to manipulate her into creating Speed and Wiccan but ultimately get her out of the way

-Agnes is Agatha Harkness and is both helping keep the Hex together but also manipulating Vision into confrontation with Wanda so that they will both be killed and Mephisto can take the kids in a typical Monkey Paw or deal with the devil scenario where the person making the deal/wish never actually gets what they want again hinted at by the yogurt commercial. That why when Wanda is around she seems to be entirely on her side and leans into her reality even asking if she wants her to take it from the top. But when Vision is alone she seeds doubt like when Herb in at the fence, or doing what I believe is pretending to get lost and stuck in the car in this episode.

-It seems like the Hex becomes less real and less powerful the further away from Wanda they get, which is why people are trapped in gif loops and even frozen solid. Almost like draw distance in a video game where the further away you get from the main character the less real everything is which is also hinted at in the yogurt commercial as they are probably all starting to die.

-I also think Pietro is Mephisto or whatever is pulling the strings bc hes just off and Wanda knows it too. Between the face, the accent, or that hes the only one really seemingly free of the influence of that reality mentally hes seems to know a lot more than he should.

Not sure where they go from here but I think thats overall what has happened so far
