Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, so goes the commonplace, and it is a strong one for Wanda Maximoff in Wandavision. A frequent response to trauma, nostalgia is about reliving what we know and what’s comfortable. It’s worked like that for many of us in a post-pandemic America, gripped by protests, isolation, and economic and political upheaval. Nostalgia numbs that, and, in this presentation, Will Rogers connects those strategies of a pandemic-afflicted audience to the originary pain that Wanda buries in her conjured spaces of the sitcom.
