“WandaVision” shows the powers of the newest Marvel heroine – and in this film she really gets going · KINO.de

“WandaVision” shows the final birth of a new Marvel heroine. But we won’t really see them in action until an upcoming MCU film.

– Attention: This is followed by spoilers for episode 7 of “WandaVision” –

The end of the seventh episode of “WandaVision” made the next reveal at the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). After the big performance of Evan Peters as Quicksilver, this time it was up to Agnes (Kathryn Hahn) to create surprised and questioning faces. After all, she is in truth the well-known Marvel character Agatha Harkness. But those weren’t the only MCU debuts in “WandaVision”.

We’re talking about Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), whose superpowers were increasingly hinted at in the last few episodes (see below). In episode 7, the final transformation from Rambeau to a superhero followed. What it will be called is still unclear. Monica went by the names Pulsar, Spectrum, Photon and even Captain Marvel in the comics. Because her mother Maria (Lashana Lynch) is the aviator nickname „Photon“ and “WandaVision” reminded us of it with a picture of her, the obvious conclusion is that Monica will choose this alias for herself.

Monica Rambeau returns in “Captain Marvel 2”, which is doubly interesting

Even if her name is unclear, we already know what powers Monica now has: She can perceive and manipulate all energy on the electric-magnetic spectrum. That explains her special, blue-tinged view of Westview, in which she just saw the energy around her. This is represented by a clear blue coloration of the eyes. In addition, she was already using a burst of energy to cushion her fall after Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) had thrown her into the air.

It remains to be seen whether Monica will show all her powers in “WandaVision”. Since her skills are still fresh, it’s quite likely that we won’t see the new Marvel heroine until „Captain Marvel 2“ can be seen fully in action. In the upcoming MCU movie she will definitely play a role with Carol Danvers alias Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani), as Parris already revealed. That should be interesting for several reasons, after all, Carol and Monica last saw each other in the 90s and Monica didn’t react happily in “WandaVision” when Captain Marvel was mentioned in episode 5. So the two should have a lot to clarify. We don’t even know if Carol knows about the death of her best friend Maria.

You can not only look forward to “Captain Marvel 2” in the future of the MCU:

“WandaVision” already subtly indicated Photon’s powers

Attentive viewers should have noticed for several episodes that something is wrong with Monica. Hopefully you will remember the scene at the beginning of episode 5 where some tests are done on Monica. We see how an X-ray is also taken. However, the technician has her problems with the result, because apparently the recording is simply … empty. This irritating scene wasn’t really resolved at first, but “WandaVision” showed so subtly that Monica is already showing the first signs of her superpowers. Monica was apparently unconsciously emitting electromagnetic energy that affected the technology around her.

Episode 6 confirmed this serious change by Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings). She revealed to Monica that her cells had changed twice at the molecular level. This happened while walking through the flickering barrier around Westview, which emits several types of radiation, as we learned in episode 5. According to Darcy, Monica changed because of this radiation. But Monica only got really superpowers in episode 7, when she crossed the barrier for the third time, which Darcy had warned her about. But as is so often the case with Marvel, a large dose of radiation does not lead to death, but to cool skills.

For Monica, the moment of her real birth as a superhero was at the same time a testimony to her character: Despite the possible danger to her own good, she went through the barrier unsecured to help the people in Westview. It looked as if it threatened to be torn apart by the influence of the powers around it. While listening to important moments in her past, including quotes from her mother Maria, it was clear that Monica’s will prevailed and she was able to put a stop to the force around her.

So it’s definitely worth taking a closer look at the series, not just because of all the Marvel Easter eggs. We’ll find out up to and including how things will continue in “WandaVision” March 5, 2021 every Friday at Disney +.
