It looks Wanda's powers are growing exponentially and she created her own little pocket universe/neighborhood, rewriting reality on Earth.
And it seems like people can enter and exit, but they get sucked into their sitcom roles. #WandaVision pic.twitter.com/QTCP0hE8mb— Walt (@UberKryptonian) September 21, 2020
