YMMV / WandaVision Episode 9 "The Series Finale"

Go To

  • Anti-Climax Boss: Despite having Super-Speed and somehow capturing Monica offscreen at the end of Episode 7, Ralph goes down very easily once they get into a direct fight, with Monica simply flipping him on his back and ripping off the necklace that Agatha was using to control him.
  • Catharsis Factor: After lying about Wanda stealing Vision's body which he himself resurrected as a mindless weapon and being an overall dick, Hayward getting slammed by Darcy's truck and arrested for his crimes is sure to put a smile on the audience's face.
  • Fan-Disliked Explanation: The Reveal that Pietro, and Agatha's mysterious "husband" Ralph, are not only one and the same but also just an ordinary guy named Ralph Bohner who happened to be living in Westview before Agatha moved in to his house has been poorly received by fans, in particular those who believed "Fietro" was the Quicksilver from the X-Men films due to him being played by Evan Peters. Others don't mind Peters' character not being Quicksilver from the X-Men films, but wish he had been some other established Marvel character. Many were disappointed that all the intrigue built up around these characters' identities was ultimately paid off with a joke.
  • I Knew It!:
    • Many people correctly guessed that a character interacting with Monica would be revealed to be a Skrull.
    • Some also guessed that Agatha's "husband" Ralph is "Pietro".
    • Many people guessed that the book Agatha had in her basement was another appearance of the Darkhold.
  • Special Effect Failure: Vision's suit looks oddly washed-out and lacking in color during the outdoor scenes.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: A very minor example. Some fans do wish the Skrull who approached Monica at the end was Talos and Soren's daughter. Both to give her a little more character and just to have a nice reunion between childhood friends.
  • Unintentionally Sympathetic: While not unsympathetic, Pietro isn't treated by the show as anything other than a joke. His true identity, Ralph, has been under Agatha's control the whole time, but this reveal isn't treated as seriously as the other residents of Westview being People Puppets. Even Monica doesn't seem to care at all. Granted, she had bigger concerns at the time, but she still could have spared a word of reassurance for the poor confused guy.
