WandaVision: New Featurette Seems to Point to Major Plot Point

This story contains shots from upcoming WandaVision episodes and discussion that some may consider as spoilers. Proceed with caution. 

[poilib element=”accentDivider”]

A new featurette for WandaVision has dropped a few seconds of footage from upcoming episodes which shine a light on how some plot threats may play out as the show races towards its finale.

There are three segments of particular note. The first features Kathryn Hahn’s Agnes, seemingly waking from her ‘sitcom’ state of mind, asking Vision – who is dressed in his Avengers costume – “Am I dead?”

“Why would you think that?” asks Vision, to which Agnes replies “Because you are.” The exchange suggests that Agnes may be unaware of what’s been happening to her, or believes that the experience is some kind of afterlife scenario. Additionally, this may be how Vision discovers that he was killed by Thanos in Infinity War, and escalate his friction with Wanda.

A scene in the final seconds of the featurette sees Wanda say “This is our home”, to which Vision says “Then let’s fight for it.” The implication here is that Wanda and Vision will come to a shared understanding over Wanda’s creation of Westview, and fight against SWORD – or perhaps a new antagonist – to keep the false reality in place.

Stay Tuned Featurette   Marvel Studios' WandaVision   Disney+.mp4.00_00_54_19.Still002We also, in perhaps the most major tease, see the Mind Stone and Wanda interacting with it. The scene shows shards of the stone erupting from it, and Wanda bathed in its yellow light. This seems to suggest that the stone is being destroyed, but could – in classic Marvel trickery – be a scene played in reverse. Many theories have suggested that Wanda has recreated the Mind Stone in an effort to resurrect Vision, and that may be what we’re seeing here.

Naturally, we won’t know what any of this truly means until the relevant episodes of WandaVision are made available on Disney+. Until then, you can read our latest theory about the show, appropriately titled The Mind Stone Is the Key to Everything. And to catch up on where we are so far, check out our WandaVision Episode 5 review.

True Detective Season 4 Moving Forward, HBO Looking For “Right Tone”

HBO chief content officer Casey Bloys has revealed that work has started on the potential Season 4 of the acclaimed anthology cop show True Detective. Bloys told Deadline that the company had hired new writers to develop the next season.

However, Bloys stressed that the next season of True Detective would only move forward if the story is of a high quality. “It’s safe to say we’re working with a couple of writers to find the right tone and take,” he said. “It’s definitely an area that could be very interesting and I think it would be interesting with a new voice. Quality is what’s going to guide us so if we end up with scripts that we don’t feel are representative or are not at a high enough quality, we’re not going to do something just to do it.”

According to Deadline, the writers that have been working on ideas for True Detective Season 4 might include Lucia Puenzo, who co-created the Argentinean eco-thriller Cromo, and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson. However, Bloys and HBO have not commented on this.

Fortnite Love Potion Locations: Where To Find And Deliver Them

Love is in the air, and almost all of the new challenges for Fortnite’s Season 5 Week 11 are focused on Valentine’s Day. Some are fairly straightforward, but a few, like the one we’ll help you with here, can be a little trickier to complete. One mission asks you to find and deliver love potions, requiring you to make a trek halfway across the map. If you know where to go, it’s not that tough, however, and we’ll show you exactly what to do with this guide.

Love potion locations

You can find a love potion at three different locations on the Fortnite map: Coral Cove, Stealth Stronghold, or Fort Crumpet. It doesn’t matter which one you pick, but we found the Coral Cove location to be a super easy one. All three are marked on the map below.

Just parachute right down to the location you’ve selected and you will be able to find the love potion quickly. It’s purple and in a large jar, and all you have to do is pick it up to complete the first half of this quest. Don’t worry if you get killed, as you won’t have to repeat this step in the next match.

A Lot Of Game Devs Refer To Fan Wikis, Apparently

Fan wikis are a great resource when you need to quickly look up a certain item, quest, or character from whatever game you’re playing, and it turns out the developers making those games also rely on wiki pages for the same reason. Double Fine’s Tim Schafer recently tweeted in appreciation of the creators of fan wikis, with a heap of other developers from big games also confessing to referencing fan wikis.

“I wonder if you know how often game developers pull from your sites to make presentations about their own games,” Schafer tweeted, with the many games under his belt including Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, Broken Age, and Day of the Tentacle. “I know I do it A LOT.”

Many other developers replied and quote tweeted, noting they also commonly referred to fan wikis. The games represented in their fan-wiki confessions and thanks included Don’t Starve, Civilization, Call Of Duty, Borderlands, Dead By Daylight, EVE Online, Dishonored, and many, many more.
