They could be setting him up as the next big bad. He is considered a Multiversal threat. Wanda is in the next Doctor Strange movie. That movie is the Multiverse of Madness. This phase could see the introduction of his most hated enemy as well.
The next question I have is are they going to abandon the "tv shows of the past" feel, as they are getting pretty close to current era, and just focus on the main plot that is really starting to take form. Especially with this last episode.

I though Dormammu was Strange's most hated enemy? Though the MCU version is like hating a rock.

It is, I was meaning the Shadow King's most hated enemy.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who played Pietro in the MCU, was the star of Kick-@ss.
Evan Peters, who played Pietro in the Fox-verse, was the best friend in Kick-@ss.
They knew what they were doing when they wrote that line, but I don't know if they were just being cute, or if they were trying to plant some clue.
Also, when Vision breaks through to the real person beneath his co-worker Norm's fake identity, the co-worker never mentions Wanda's name, only "she." This makes me think that maybe someone else, like the Enchantress, is at work here in addition to Wanda.
One of the background characters' Hallowe'en costumes was Al from Home Improvement.
I think it had to be Malcolm in the Middle though for this week's.
I didn't realise though that the star of Malcolm in the Middle, Frankie Muniz, has absolutely no recollection of ever being in the series. He suffered a brain injury which means he doesn't remember any of it.....
Kinda weird in this context....

I would be surprised if it was Nightmare. Not enough references to dreams. The trick with Mephisto is just to empathize that he’s not The actual Christian Devil.
We rewatched it and noticed some "mistakes" that slipped by us during our first viewing. They do seem like things that I think the producers would have caught though, so I am leaning towards thinking that they are intentional to hint at the slipping of control over what is happening.
The two main ones I can remember are:
- The kids playing on a flat screen TV in an early 2000s sitcom
- The movies showing as playing at the movie theater are The Parent Trap (released in 1998) and The Incredibles (released in 2004), so 6 years between them.

Of course, the movies were certainly chosen because of their meaning and not by their date of release. Parent trap with the twins angle. And the superpowered family of The Incredibles.

Well, the original Parent Trap was released in 1961. Possibly a reference to twins OR (this may be far-fetched...) they could be referencing something else that happened in 1961 AND that could relate to The Incredibles...
What if they're planting seeds about The Fantastic Four?
I remember hearing about a director listening to theories and such and laughing. he said "Yeah, your thery makes sense, but the reason its shot like this is because we only had this one actor for this one day"
Not to disparage theories, but its all likely that those where the two movies they had at the time.
Disney has a ridiculously huge library of films to freely draw on, even moreso with all of the Fox film library. There is no possible way that's all they had access to (and its too easy to fake, by hooking a TV up to a different input device hidden out of sight of the camera).
Hand crafting the sets is part of the point of this show. It can be easy to miss something passive (a style of phone, a specific model of fridge), but a background film is always going to be selected.

Spoiler:
We also heard Pietro say their parents would’ve liked Wanda’s fantasy world.
Now, that could be him stroking her ego, a suggestion as to “why sitcoms”, a bit of both, or even just a throwaway line. It’s not clear when they were orphaned, but with Age of Ultron released 11 years after The Incredibles, could those films be from happier times?
Or just a nod and a wink -Wanda has trapped Vision et al in her fantasy, and The Incredibles being about a super powered family, just like them.
Again, could be both.

Have seen a couple of news stories today suggesting that a Heroes For Hire series is in the works. Apparently Mike Colter is still in the running to reprise Luke Cage, but there's less of an appetite to get Finn Jones back as Danny.
Smells a bit wishlisty to me, but equally, given the critical and audience reception of IF, it seems quite plausible that they'd look to replace him if they were making a new series.

Mike Colter was great as Luke Cage, I'd be super down to see him come back. Finn Jones was... Eh. I definitely feel like he was the weakest of the bunch. I wouldn't hate it if he was back but I'd be fine with a recast as well
I can't blame the crappiness of Iron Fist on Finn Jones. The blame lies on the shoulders of Inhumans show-runner Scott Buck, who somehow failed upwards and got another show with Marvel TV, and ruined that too.

*searches Google for 'Heroes for Hire'* *clicks 'News'* *first result is from We Got This Covered* *closes window*
When it's on Variety or THR, then we can pay attention to it. As it stands, were We Got This Covered to tell me that water is wet, I'd ask for a second opinion before believing them.

You’re not suggesting We Got This Covered is full of poop and about as accurate as an Orky sniper in a wind tunnel wearing a blindfold aiming at a 5p piece are you?

In the Yo Magic! commercial the kids says he is hungry and the shark appears and says that it used to be hungry too but not anymore. I'm pretty sure the shark is whatever is behind this and I don't recall Mephisto feeding off magic. My guess is that whatever this is has Wanda expending power to feed off the energy she is creating.
I'm with Alpharius in that I don't think Mephisto is going to be the culprit and for similar reasons.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Yeah don't bet on that yet.
People are making a big leap of logic here and acting like Kevin Feige confirmed 3 1-hour long episodes.
What Fiege actually said is that Wandavision is 6 hours long, and people are subtracting the runtime of the current episodes vs 6 hours to get 3x1 hour.
