Another thing I love to do as a huge fan of superheroes is create merchandise to show off my favorite characters.
My aunt owns a Cricut machine, so the options to create whatever you want is endless.
I got my creative juices flowing and decided to create some merchandise from “Wandavision,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” and “Daredevil.”
My cousin and I have a very similar relationship to the character of Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier and Steve Rodgers/Captain America.
I thought something fun to showcase our relationship and friendship would be to make Captain America and Winter Soldier t-shirts.
Bucky and Cap shirts by Creations N’at by Diana
I tie-dyed two shirts inspired by Cap and Bucky and then made a logo to put on the shirt of them with their iconic line “I’m with you till the end of the line.”
I’m also a Starbucks lover so I bought some of the reusable cups from the stores and put my own designs on them.
Vision cup by Creations N’at by Diana
The first cup I made was inspired by “Wandavision.” One of my favorite characters is Vision and I absolutely feel in love with the quote he told Wanda in Episode 8- “What is Grief, if not Love Persevering?” The front of the cup matches the icon Vision drew on a map when Vision and Wanda were looking for their forever home to start a family.
Daredevil cup created by Creations N’at by Diana
The other cup I created was based off of one of my newest favorite superheroes-Daredevil. I started watching the show on Netflix and absolutely fell in love with the characters of Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson. Foggy and Matt have been best friends since college and have always talked about starting a law firm together. Foggy didn’t know the Spanish word for lawyer (“Abagado”) and accidentally called them “avocados.” The joke became a running gag between the two best friends and now they are two of the best “Avaocados at Law” in Hell’s Kitchen.

This weekend marked the first conclusion for Marvel in the start to their “Phase 4” of the cinematic universe.
In honor of the finale coming out on Friday, I celebrated by having a viewing party along with my family.
We made a snack inspired by the show and found a recipe on Marvel.com for a drink that was also inspired by the show.
Toast and Waffles with Sokovian Iced Tea
In the very first episode, “Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience,” Wanda and Vision have guests over for dinner. The only problem is, they have never had to cook dinner before. Wanda decided to prepare a classic for their guests- Breakfast for dinner.
We decided to make toast and waffles in the same style that Wanda did as she served her guests while playing the song “Yakety Yak” by the The Coasters (also featured in the first episode).
Inspired by the 60s, Marvel.com created a recipe for Sokovian Iced Tea (Sokovia is the country where Wanda is from). All that the drink called for was Iced Tea and Lemonade powder with some cherry Kool-Aid mix.
The drink was a success and everyone was ready to witness the grand finale from the past eight weeks. It was a fun way to celebrate the show along with my family.
Finally watching the last episode of “Wandavision”

*”Wandavision” Spoilers Ahead*

1950s: The first episode kicks off seeing “The Newlywed Couple” moving into the town of Westview, New Jersey. We meet the couple as they try to blend in and meet their new neighbors. This episode brings inspiration in from some classic sitcoms like “The dink Van Dyke Show” and “I Love Lucy.” Shot entirely in black and white with the traditional 4:3 aspect ratio, it lets you feel as if you are watching one of your favorite classics again.

1960s: The next episode brings us to the era of memorable theme songs from cheery sitcoms and comedies. The 1960s sitcom “Bewitched” served as the inspiration for this era’s theme song. Wanda and Vision work together to try and fit in by joining the town’s talent show by doing a magic act. Chaos ensues with the potential of blowing their cover. The episode pays homage to the transition from black and white television to color by showing the scenery around them changing as they transition into the next era.

1970s: “Now in Color”, episode 3 of “Wandavision” pays homage to some of the most iconic 70s sitcoms. After finding out she was pregnant, Wanda and Vision have to figure out how to navigate their lives as new parents. Finding inspiration from shows like “The Brady Bunch” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” this episode felt like the the traditional family sitcoms that everyone used to enjoy.

1980s: The era with some of the most iconic sitcoms comes and meets Wanda and Vision. We now see the characters growing together as a family, with twins Billy and Tommy Maximoff growing at a very fast rate. Towards the end of the episode, the family gets a special visitor. Some noticeable inspirations comes from “Family Ties,” “Growing Pains,” and “Full House” in this episode’s theme song. From the outfits to the new 2:40 aspect ratio, we are slowly starting to reach the most modern eras of television.

1990s: Episode 6 draws heavily from one show in particular-“Malcom in the Middle.” In this special Halloween episode, Wanda and Vision dress up (in their comic book accurate costumes) along with Uncle Pietro, Billy and Tommy. Vision starts noticing that things aren’t as they seem and starts investigating. “Malcom in the Middle” is noted for its Halloween episodes, so this falls perfectly on brand for “Wandavision.”

2000s: As we move to modern day television, we follow the characters in the style of a “mock-umentary.” As the events unfold throughout the episode, the characters talk to the camera about what their personal thoughts are that are occuring throughout the episode. Episode 7 takes inspiration from newer shows like “Modern Family” and “The Office,” two shows that also followed the same style. This episodes theme song was styled very much like “The Office” with the title card matching the same print as “Modern Family.”

Honorable mention: Also in the same 2000’s styled episode, we learn that the neighbor Agnes, isn’t really who she seemed to be. At the end of the episode, she reveled herself to be the witch Agatha Harkness and was also given her own styled theme song. Agatha’s theme drew from some of the “darker” TV sitcoms like “The Addams Family” and “The Munsters.”
Inspired by the 60s, Marvel.com created a recipe for Sokovian Iced Tea (Sokovia is the country where Wanda is from). All that the drink called for was Iced Tea and Lemonade powder with some cherry Kool-Aid mix.
