I'm not sure the right poster is used here. Wanda and Vision's look on the poster is completely different from what they actual look on the episode. This poster seemed to belongs to next episode. The Gargoyle King ( talk) 12:03, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
The soundtrack uses this poster so it was indeed correct. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 21:21, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
It is clear that Modern Family is the primary inspiration for Episode 7's format and aesthetic. However, I do not understand why this episode is listed as having a Mid-Late 2000s setting. The sitcom Modern Family aired it's first episode at the very end of the Late 2000s and continued to air episodes into the 2020s. The show was only on for three months of the Late 2000s but it was on for all ten years of the 2010s. Therefore, it doesn't really seem like this episode is representative of the 2000s. I know The Office was also listed as one of the references for this episode, but most source make it very clear that the primary inspiration is Modern family. Why does this article state that this episode has a Mid-Late 2000s setting? Why does it list Modern Family as a sitcom reference from the Mid-Late 2000s? 2601:5C4:4300:4A00:9524:8E18:CF4A:62A8 ( talk) 00:07, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
The setting of the episode is sourced, and does not need to line-up with the episode's influences, the creators of the show consider it a 2000s episode even if the influences are also from the 2010s. By stating this episode is set in the 2000s, we're not saying anything close to Modern Family being exclusively a 2000s show, we're just talking about this episode of this TV show. The first episode is set in the 1950s even though its main influences are from the beginning of the 1960s. TV trends do not always line up perfectly with the decades, but this series' episodes are explicitly set each one in a specific decade, inside the sitcom that is. — El Millo ( talk) 01:15, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
Though WandaVision and its sitcom homages are both now well into the 2010s. While it is technically correct that it homages series from the 2010s, they're not exclusively from the 2010s and, as we've already said, the influences are separate from when the episode is actually set in. If the creatives say it's set in the 2000s, then it's set in the 2000s. Now, I'll revert back your edit because, whereas you made a fair assessment that we should answer you, WP:STATUSQUO still stands until the issue is resolved. — El Millo ( talk) 18:44, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
I have restored the article. As has been made clear already the setting is not based on the influences, and Modern Family started in the late 2000s. Time to WP:DROPTHESTICK. - adamstom97 ( talk) 23:47, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
