Marvel Studios Rassemblement: Le making-of de WandaVision

It's really fun to have a look behind the scenes of the MCU. It makes you appreciate the whole production even more. Some of the episodes of "Assembled" are really great and take you through many different parts of the production. I especially liked when they would theme the episode to match the show or movie itself which they're not doing too often. The X Men 97' episode was nice, but I was disappointed they focused mainly on the nostalgia aspect and about the history of the show and comics instead of showing us the actual work behind the scenes- the redesigns, storytelling, the animation etc...

Although I would have loved to beans and cheese all over this show, they only really talked about the legacy of WandaVision, not how they made it. That's about all I have to say. Beans and cheese.

This series is episodic, so it is better to rate individual episodes. The series is ongoing, and I will update my review as I watch new episodes.

9/10 - These episodes don't waste time by retelling the movie's/show's story, but rather focus on deep dives into casting, character development, screenwriting, stunt work, effects, costume/set design, music, cinematography, etc.

* Loki (season 2)

* Deadpool & Wolverine

7/10 - These episodes don't have any mind-blowing new trivia, and they still focus a bit too much on simply retelling the movie's/show's story, but they check all the boxes for a good behind-the-scenes documentary by exploring the casting, screenwriting, stunt work, effects, costume/set design, etc.

* Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

* Hawkeye

* Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

* Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 3

* Echo

5/10 - These episodes have some good info and I'm glad I watched them, but at least 50% of the show follows the series' terrible 2/10 formula.

* WandaVision

* What If...?

* Eternals

* She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

* Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

* Secret Invasion

2/10 - These episodes contain no new information and are essentially in-depth plot recaps of the movie/show that you already watched, as told by the leading cast & crew.

* The Falcon and the Winter Soldier - This one is particularly heartbreaking to watch as you can see all of the cast are genuinely excited for the show, believing themselves to be part of something that will be amazing, but completely oblivious to the fact that the director and screenwriters are destroying everything good about the series by trying to pull the plot in too many directions at once.

* Loki (season 1)

* Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

* Ms Marvel

1/10 - Same 2/10 formula, except they either completely ignore or fail to explain the decisions behind elements that were drastically changed for the worse compared to the comics.

* Black Widow - When talking about Taskmaster, they all but directly say "Diversity is literally the only thing required to make a good movie/show" as if that somehow justified their decision to destroy every element of the character that fans enjoy and turn him/her into one of many mindless martial arts masters in the MCU, which was a horrendous decision regardless of the character's gender. They also state "Black Widow is unique because she is just really well trained and isn't actually a superhero" while completely ignoring the fact that they bizarrely gave her superhuman strength and endurance for this film.

* Thor: Love and Thunder - actual quote: "Don't worry about (all the previous Thor movies). You can pretty much forget everything about them."

* Werewolf by Night - 15 minutes of "making of" documentary buried alongside 40 minutes of the director's family home videos.

I think this is very cool. I have always liked behind the scenes stuff, and I love Marvel as well so this is a perfect thing for me to watch. I think it is so cool how they go through and talk about all the behind the scenes stuff they needed to do to make the series come to life.

This series is really cool. If you watched these shows, I recommend watching their Assembled episode.

All of this behind the scenes are the reason why WandaVision will win so many Emmys, including Elizabeth Olsen and Kathryn Hahn. Watching this team work in terms of direction, screenwriting, musical composition, visual effects and acting is completely extraordinary. It's a brilliant trip behind the scenes, and I hope that all MCU mini-series that follow this one would be on the same level as WandaVision.
