Resumen
The television series of the Disney+ platform Wanda Vision (The Scarlet Witch and Vision, in Spain), of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (UCM), is a complex narrative with which one can illustrate both debates on what is understood as ideology and extract from it what are its ideological approaches to late capitalism. This series plays with different levels of reality: a narrative within a narrative as well as the UCM, which has created its own viewers, with their complicities. The series shows us both ideology as a distorted way of narrating reality, according to particular interests (Marxist), and a balance of narratives between power struggles (Foucoultian) or a narrative discounting the impossibility of access to the Real (Lacan). Moreover, Hegel's parable of the master and the servant is present. The series also illustrates Fukuyama's thesis about the end of history, like those of Žižek, regarding the cynicism with which we assume the evils of capitalism, without a strategy to end it. Also noteworthy is his sense of justice, understood as the restoration of broken social balances, whether along communitarian or Nietzschean lines.
