WandaVision fans have come together to celebrate the anniversary of the most emotional episode in the series.

Despite premiering in January 2021, Marvel‘s WandaVision still has a strong hold on thousands of fans everywhere.

The mini-series acted as a continuation of the events of Avengers: Endgame and gave fans an introspective look at Wanda Maximoff’s grieving process.

WandaVision’s nine-episode run started in January and ended in early March, so fans have been spending time celebrating the three-year anniversary of the second-to-last episode of the series, which they claim is the most emotional.

WandaVision fans reflect on emotionally devastating Episode 8

Episode 8 titled “Previously On,” took audiences on a a guided tour of Wanda’s memories from her childhood in her home country of Sokovia where she lost her parents to her blossoming romance with Vision, who died in Avengers: Infinity War.

The entirety of the episode is pretty brutal to watch as fans relive some of Wanda’s most emotionally devastating moments alongside her, but the most defining moment in the episode comes towards the end.

It’s revealed that, when he died, Vision’s body was taken by S.W.O.R.D. and Wanda was not allowed to give him a proper funeral.

And, if that wasn’t bad enough, Wanda then discovers a plot of land and house plans Vision made for the two of them to start a life together before the events of Infinity War. The entire sequence of events has been praised by fans for being the most emotionally impactful moments in the series.

Fans have been spending the day celebrating the three-year anniversary of Episode 8 and below are some of the best reactions:

The series finale of WandaVision aired on March 5, 2021, so fans will probably continue their celebrating into next week.
