Well, you're probably right. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have convinced me that the worst-case scenario always happens with Wanda (and a lot of weird things do happen with her...
I'm going to regret talking about this, but seeing this new cover for an Avengers reprint reminds me why I'm still worried by the new color guides for Wanda's skin tone. It's more obvious here than...
Sure, and the MCU movies often soft-pedal (or is it soft-peddle?) that aspect of superheroes and play up the other side of Marvel, heroes as self-absorbed bunglers who do the right thing in the end....
I mean among other things, the importance of solidarity, breaking the cycle of violence and foreswearing revenge, not turning a blind eye to what is going on outside your country... I don't think...
“Girlboss” is too vague I agree, but Wanda definitely is not a girlboss, for the reasons you mentioned. She’s an old-fashioned character and so it never occurred to the MCU people that she could...
If they had had Doctor Strange get corrupted and run around murdering people to get Christine back, that might be a point, but we were mostly just told about it. What we saw onscreen was the same...
Disney is terrible, just not because they're too progressive.
If we say a patient is sick but pick the wrong disease, we're wrong even though we were right about them being sick.
I can't believe there are still people who think the MCU problem is being too woke after they built Doctor Strange 2 around the old "women can't be trusted with power because motherhood makes them...
Also (sorry to repeat this) it was never announced that way but both relaunches were probably inspired by "X-Force." The New Mutants had the same problem as the West Coast Avengers, they were both...
So to say something positive for once, I enjoyed Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver 2. It feels like Orlando and his editor are doing a good job of offering some of the things fans have been asking for, but...

Yes, it comes from one of those "leaker" Patreons where someone with industry sources passes along rumors, though their sources don't know everything.
I can certainly believe Iger wants to focus...
I didn't really think it went anywhere, like a lot of story ideas in the comic. The idea of fusing Tony's tech with Wanda's probability powers to figure out where the next problem would be was fun,...
I thought Abnett and Lanning's writing of the Scarlet Witch was mostly great. It's hard to take an old-fashioned, girly-girl heroine like Wanda and make her a tough early '90s character but I think...
I’ll say what I said in another thread: while there hasn’t been all that much Multiverse stuff, it feels like more because three big sequels did a Multiverse related story. Spider-Man 3 at least kept...
Faith in minor characters is pretty much the core of the MCU, though. Feige realized that characters most of the public didn't know, like Iron Man, could be just as successful as the A-list...
Nothing went on. Wanda turns evil offscreen and turns good again for no good reason (given how evil she's been up to that point, the children crying would not change her opinion that they'll learn to...
Poor character work, repetitive story points and forcing characters into the overall narrative of the MCU.
All perfectly summed up in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which forced the...
Funny I was just reading "Avengers: Children's Crusade" again and that's kind of a perfect setup for an Avengers movie -- one faction of superheroes led by Billy wants to find the missing Scarlet...
Specifically, Giant-Man and Wasp returned to the Avengers after their comic feature was canceled.
Stan Lee turned against the idea of having characters in multiple books which may have been a...
Well, if I were writing a callback to Avengers Disassembled I don't think I would want to take 3 pages to disentangle the various retcons of what happened that day. Besides, Wanda has never been...
Yeah, I wasn't chiding anyone for not posting. It's just that the current comics don't give a lot of fodder for discussion, not like "Uncanny Avengers" where there were constant arguments about how...
I feel in a weird way like this thread was livelier when Wanda wasn't appearing in anything. I could complain about her not being in anything, anyway. Now she's in the Avengers but not much is...
It's something that happens in the first issue of this mini, according to the solicit:
...when Wanda receives a letter from the recently deceased Magneto that would upset Pietro, she burns the...
No. The streaming shows are rarely mentioned or referenced in the movies and anything you need to know, they will explain in the movie.
