Legends S.H.I.E.L.D. @LegendsofSHIELD Which was your favorite @disneyplus series to date? #Wandavision #Wanda @starwars @Marvel #Mandalorian

Runa @Utterrunacy Mar 11 #Wandavision. Mando is enjoyable and Grogu is super cute, but I don’t find it very exciting for the most part.

Dr. Gnome @MrParacletes Mar 10 Wandavision is great, but feel like Mandalorian gave me more awesome moments. To be fair, Mando had 2 seasons are lower expectations going in to accomplish it so it's not exactly apples to apples, more like frog eggs to breakfast for dinner.

Greta the Cat’s BFF @adanagirl Mar 8 Regarding the Bohner moment, I am an ‘80s child so, to quote Cap, I understood that reference. #WandaVision

‘WandaVision’ Finale Originally Had Larger Roles for Monica Rambeau and That Creepy Rabbit, Director Matt Shakman Reveals https://www.slashfilm.com/wandavision-finale-matt-shakman-cut-storylines/ 

Andiminga @andiminga Mar 8 Replying to  @StargatePioneer @LegendsofSHIELD and @Chelle_Game Regarding Darcy I remember @TheEricGoldman  speculating because of the pandemic and possible scheduling conflicts, she might not have been on set for later episodes.
