The Marvel Cinematic Universe finally began its long-anticipated Phase Four when the Disney+ series
WandaVision
premiered in mid-January. At the time of its premiere, the new Scarlet Witch-centered show became the
top-rated MCU title on Rotten Tomatoes
with a score of 97%, narrowly beating out
Iron Man
,
Avengers: Endgame
, and
Black Panther
.
The news of its critical consensus came as no surprise given
WandaVision
’s bold and unique approach to storytelling; that approach puts Wanda Maximoff and Vision at the center of television episodes that are heavily inspired by different decades of American sitcoms.

WHAT THIS MEANS
While it may be a bit discouraging to see
WandaVision
drop from its number one Rotten Tomatoes placement, the series still sits at number two on a very competitive list. Being on par with iconic Marvel Studios titles such as
Iron Man
and
Avengers: Endgame
in terms of critical reviews is far from a bad place to end up for the MCU’s first Disney+ show.
WandaVision
is also only three episodes in, and its Rotten Tomatoes score could very well change in either direction as the series drops more entries. A select group of the spin-off’s
stars are already teasing big reveals
for the next few episodes, and if the third chapter’s ending proved anything, it’s that Wanda Maximoff’s story still has plenty of surprises in store.

The show is still very early in its journey, and even though there are more questions than answers that hang in the perfect suburban air of Westview, the season will undoubtedly provide
a strong ending
to reward all this build-up. Fans will just have to wait and see if Wanda can break free from the mysterious confines of Westview, and bring the series back up on the Rotten Tomatoes list in the process.
