A few months removed from WandaVision's epic series finale and fans are clearly still suffering from a massive hangover and understandably so. This is why the folks over at Variety organized a virtual event last night (May 25th) that would've featured the premiere of a never-before-seen clip from the beloved Marvel series. Apart from that, the cast and crew — including Elizabeth Olsen, Kathryn Hahn, Teyonah Parris, Jac Schaeffer, and Matt Shakman were also present to answer some questions about the show and its MCU future.

Variety has been hyping up and advertising the event as a "live" Q&A but as it turns out, the entire event was actually pre-recorded. Not only that but the streaming room's server crashed on several occasions, making the event a colossal failure. Naturally, a lot of people felt robbed with how the event turned out to be as they expected it to be streamed live and to at least be interactive.

Taking to Twitter, WandaVision fans expressed their frustration and called the entire event a major "scam". Check out some of the reactions here:


You really can't blame fans for feeling that way especially the ones who have been clamoring for some WandaVision content. Hopefully, the organizers of the said event learned a lesson from it. Meanwhile, Wanda Maximoff's journey as the Scarlet Witch is only getting started and the aftermath of the show will undoubtedly play a huge factor in shaping up the MCU's Phase 4.


Elizabeth Olsen is scheduled to make her MCU return in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
