“We’ve seen her big power — the head tilt that scares everyone and is so amazing,” Schaeffer told IndieWire. “We haven’t really seen her joy. We’ve never had an opportunity to see her be funny and to see her be in mundane circumstances.” Schaeffer’s committed to turning Wanda into a fully-realized woman, on par with the women she’s written in features like “Timer” and “The Hustle.” “Wandavision,” which just recently aired its fourth episode, started out by refusing to give audiences too much background, instead plopping them into Wanda’s sitcom world — and that’s by design....

There’s an interesting dichotomy for Olsen in looking back at her time filming “WandaVision” because it seemed to feel saner than what was going on in the world with regards to the pandemic. “[It] felt kind of profound that we were in this situation where we couldn’t see people [and] we’re like hundreds of people trying to figure out how to make this thing work that’s all about maintaining a bubble and a family nucleus,” Olsen told IndieWire....

Tricia Sawyer (make up) and Karen Bartek (hair) said much of the series’ looks were already laid out by director Matt Shakman. Both worked in different capacities for Marvel previously, with Bartek on both “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame,” so the pair was able to dive right in and start researching the different sitcom eras Wanda and Vision would live in. Each episode, according to Bartek, started with a basic sitcom to work with, like “I Love Lucy” or “The Dick Van Dyke Show....

“We’re not tolerating any of that. That behavior is reprehensible no matter what franchise you’re talking about or what business you’re talking about. It’s completely unacceptable,” Sarnoff told Variety. “I’m very disappointed in the fans that have chosen to go to that negative place with regard to DC, with regard to some of our executives. It’s just disappointing because we want this to be a safe place to be.” Sarnoff continued, “We want DC to be a fandom that feels safe and inclusive....

“Panic” takes place in the small Texas town where every summer the graduating seniors compete in a series of winner-take-all challenges that could help them break free of their circumstances. But the rules are different this year — the money prize is larger, making the game even more dangerous as players will be faced with their deepest, darkest fears, forcing them to decide exactly what they’re willing to do just to win....

Where to Watch “Watch the Sound”: Apple TV+ Most music docs are, by their nature, lodged in the past. If people aren’t being shown a moment gone by, they’re talking about it or disputing it or presenting an alternative version. So when “Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson” takes the opportunity to use the past as a bridge to creating something new in the present, you can feel the overall temperature of the project change....

I only bring this up because I sensed a similar yearning throughout “A West Wing Special,” the HBO Max reunion of Aaron Sorkin’s early aughts NBC drama. There’s an overt desire to make a difference, and not only because the staged recreation of “Hartsfield’s Landing” (Season 3, Episode 14) is put on as a benefit for When We All Vote, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to increasing participation in elections; nor is it just that the hourlong special replaces its 17 minutes of commercials with direct-to-camera addresses from the likes of former president Bill Clinton and former first lady Michelle Obama....
