It would be really easy for it to be bad or mediocre too. But it also has a lot of possibility to be great. I'm excited for it. I hope they nail it. Partially because I enjoy good entertainment, but also because I think Wandavision and Agatha have had a uniquely artistic sensibility that is kind of absent in a lot of superhero TV and movies these days.
Both felt like runs of a comic book that wasn't meant for mass appeal. Something that took niche characters and just squeezed stories out of their emotional cores that were weird and interesting and weren't made to set up the next big story. I want more of that kind of TV.

James Spader is also great - I always think that villains shine more in the series than a movie
An interesting parallel I didn't realize until this trailer is that both Vision and Tommy are memories placed into a body.
Vision was an empty body, now containing Vision, but Tommy was somebody, now containing Tommy. Good for some father/son trauma bonding.
