House of M Appreciation Thread 2024

[jmc247]

I was watching a stream of the game earlier and there's a dialogue between her and Magneto in waiting room that goes like:

Magneto: Here we are, side by side once more. Just like the old days.
Wanda: You mean back when you used children as weapons in your crusade against mankind?
Magneto: ... You make me sound like a terrible father when you put it like that.
Wanda: Then at least we can finally agree on something.

Bringing this over from the Wanda thread about the new Marvel game. Thanks Tranquil.

Found this as well, I like the idea of Wanda and Magik working together with Magneto to find more mutants across time and space with magically enhanced Cerebro.

Some are saying online Magneto invites Wanda to Krakoa in the game.

Wanda and Lorna already did Metallic Chaos on Fantastic Force.

I wonder who the cosmic presence is a reference to.

[Lucyinthesky]

I think it´s Jean as Phoenix, Namor and ¿Psylocke? or maybe Kwannon.

I am not sure I fully understand the game plot.

Anyway.

Apparently some Dr. Doom shenanigans that ended up with different universes merging together with Wanda being one of the few holding things together.



Pretty standard multiverse stuff to have all these different characters together.

It's Psylocke but not Betsy or Kwannon but Sai.

Wanda looks so sad here. Very pretty artwork and I like the touch of the different colored eyes.

[jmc247]

More from the game.

Interesting that the highest IP of his kids, Scarlet Witch, is (at least imo...) the least recognizable amongst them. I wonder what that decision looked like.

[jmc247]

There appears to have been even after the Fox buy out some general indecision on how closely to allow Wanda to be tied to Magneto.

At first it was going to be not at all, but the explosion in interest in House of M globally after Wandvision came out pushed them to go with a half measure compromise of Magneto as Wanda's found father. That created messy complications for the whole family and generally the only way that concept works relies on House of M memories, certainly not Brotherhood era memories.

However, TAS Wanda is pre-compromise. She is a full mutant, and she is fully Magneto's daughter. While other mediums are still pushing her as a non-mutant magic wielder. Basically, the compromise is breaking down and will eventually be broken, but we are not there yet.

Based on the timing of when the show was made that scene came out of mid 2021 standards. Keep in mind for Lorna the early part of the show and the middle was when she was regarded as a C list X-Factor character by Marvel. The very end would have been just registering her winning the fan vote and being treated like a B lister again.

They went with her current costume!

Thanks
