WandaVision episode 6 had a heartbreaking flashback to Avengers: Age of Ultron. In the opening seconds, the show makes sure that viewers realize that Wanda’s brother Pietro met a grizzly end in the second team-up film. Quicksilver saved Hawkeye, but not without getting shot three times and collapsing on the ground. Longtime fans are well aware that something isn’t right with Wanda’s twin brother as he currently exists. That short clip creates some dissonance by showing Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s face as the one Pietro had in the film. (Much was made of some closed captioning mentioning Evan Peters as being “Quicksilver from the X-Men movies.”) So, things only got weirder from there as the show called back to the image of the character riddled with holes and those same blank eyes that Vision had in episode 4. Emotions are coming and the audience better be ready for it.
