On the surface, WandaVision only has a few broad-strokes similarities to Tom King's The Vision miniseries from the mid-2010s. Both stories juxtapose superheroic Avengers against a milquetoast suburban fantasy life, with ill-advised attempts at building (sometimes literally) a family thrown in the mix. At the beginning of The Vision, readers are given a tour of the synthezoid's residence and shown their prized possessions: a floating vase from the Silver Surfer, Captain America's old flip lighter, and — presciently — a potted plant, described as "a clipped everbloom plucked from the side of Mt. Wundagore, a gift from the witch."
The everbloom, it turns out, is an exceedingly rare plant, gifted from Agnes to her student, Wanda, as a gift on the occasion of her marriage to Vision. Sound familiar? It should, and it doesn't bode well for the happy couple. What makes the everbloom special in the comics is its ability to grant visions into the future, with some especially gruesome caveats. In order to work properly, the flowers of the everbloom have to be eaten twice — "once after hunger, once after murder." In other words, the magical blossoms have to be consumed, then the person who consumed them has to be killed and their stomach contents removed and eaten a second time.
All of this begs the question: Just how weird is WandaVision going to get?
