WandaVision Art Reimagines Marvel Show As Cartoons Through The Decades

New WandaVision art emerges that imagines the show as a journey through the decades of cartoons, rather than sitcoms. As Disney+’s first MCU series, WandaVision broke barriers both in terms of style and content. Initially, the series’ main hook was its experimental form; the pilot opens with Wanda and Vision in suburban bliss as they settle into their new home, which closely resembles the set of the The Dick Van Dyke Show from the 1950s. Each episode moves fans into the following decade of popular sitcom style, until finally it is revealed that Wanda created this alternate reality on accident while she was grieving over Vision’s death in Avengers: Infinity War.
While the ending of WandaVision was arguably rushed and left some fans feeling unsatisfied, the series was still entertainingly fresh as it gave fans the chance to follow an MCU storyline while simultaneously reminiscing over different eras of television. Never before had a show attempted to emulate other programs in such a deliberate and sustained way. This has inspired fans to create their own WandaVision homages to more TV favorites – including one fan who reimagined the two superheroes into the animation style of Powerpuff Girls.
Artist Riana McKieth also gave the show a cartoon redo, but she took it a step further by following WandaVision‘s progression through the decades. And just like each episode of WandaVision drew inspiration from multiple sitcoms, each image is influenced by multiple cartoons.

So it’s time for episode 4 – which is in the real world so I figured I’d break with the historical order & embrace a more cinematic & current art style. Plus I LOVE these characters. Would definitely watch a spin off buddy series with these two! pic.twitter.com/MH8aJbSnct

It’s episode 08 from #WandaVision. There were so many great moments to choose from but this just felt right (and relatively spoiler free!).
The 2010s were amazing for animation with shows like Adventure Time, Steven Universe & Gravity Falls inspiring this illustration. pic.twitter.com/mPxqh7AOYp

I took a while to do this piece, to be honest I didn’t want my #WandaVisionFinale journey to end! This moment was so heart-breaking I had to draw it.

Don’t worry if you can’t quite pinpoint which shows are being emulated, because McKeith provides answers on her Twitter. Here’s a list of which animated series inspired the images:
- Episode 1’s image: advertisements and commercials from the 50s
- Episode 2’s image: The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, and Bewitched
- Episode 3’s image: Scooby-Doo
- Episode 5’s image: He-Ra, She-Ra, and Thundercats
- Episode 6’s image: The Batman, Spider-Man, and X-Men
- Episode 7’s image: Dexter’s Lab, Fairly OddParents, and Kim Possible
- Episode 8’s image: Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and Gravity Falls
Although its first season answered a lot of questions, WandaVision also left fans with many questions unanswered. As teased by the post-credits scene of the finale, Wanda appears to be practicing her magic in an unknown remote location, which begs the question: who is currently training her in her magic usage and why? Also, given what she did in Westview, will she still be considered a superhero? Where is White Vision, and how could Wanda hear the pleas of her twins if they disappeared with the hex? All of this remains to be seen, but hopefully people will get answers from connecting stories in Doctor Strange 2 or Captain Marvel 2.
As for WandaVision as a separate entity, Marvel head Kevin Feige will not confirm or deny a season 2. That said, if they do stretch the story further, it’s unlikely that it will continue replicating sitcoms. While it was a great experience to watch, it unfortunately is not sustainable for the long term, considering her alternate sitcom reality meant she had to hold an entire town hostage. But luckily, if you still want to see your favorite WandaVision characters reimagined, the MCU has a talented fanbase who can craft plenty of new images.
