Wanda Maximoff: SCARLET WITCH Appreciation 2019

[Phoenixx9]

You're welcome. Here's another panel if y'all don't mind. In an older post I mentioned how Harkness said she was superior to Strange over certain kinds of magic. Here she is saying it as it is.

I have said that before regarding Agatha.

I like and always thought that some are outside of his scope as SS.

You all know that HoM Wanda was reconnected once again to be just planetary even when she affected others timelimes stated on panel by Dr Strange himself and After the birth of Hope Summers, two future timelines with mutants suddenly became active again: Earth-1191 (which was earlier "shut down") meaning that Wanda spell was multiversal

We know that it wasn't her own power (life force) but now she's useless in battle threads...

I don't really care if she wins battle threads. I care more that she's treated as a character. Wanda with the life force was nothing more than a plot device.

Who cares about Battle threads anyways

Exactly. I'd rather she be in more books. Battle threads win you nothing.

Brings back the memories when I only knew Wanda as "that lady everyone is bragging about".
I actually think she is pretty cool, now when I think of it, it's during her hardest time.

I don't really care if she wins battle threads. I care more that she's treated as a character. Wanda with the life force was nothing more than a plot device.

I agree, but if Marvel is going to use her as a plot device, at least they should do it well, now it's worse than before because they only used it as a planetary plot device.

which means that her character was sacrificed and almost destroyed just for being a earth threat lol

[Probability010]

It might not, SWORD is probably just the replacement for SHIELD.

The first two letters of S.W.O.R.D. stand for “Sentient World” which of course means something like “worlds with sentient live on them”. They most definitely deal with aliens, unless MARVEL goes through the trouble of changing the meaning of that acronym. Also MARVEL only *just* got the rights to SWORD back due to the Disney Fox merger. I bet they have waited a long time to use SWORD and will use it for what it is meant to be.

However, I am aware that this doesn’t necessarily mean that Wanda has a “Space Adventure”. The connection could just be that they classify the mind stone (that gave or activated her powers) as an “alien artifact” and therefore assume it to be their responsibility to survey Wanda and determine whether she is a threat. I could see a conflict with Doctor Strange – if he is in that series – were he is towards SWORD like “She is a Mage, that’s my area of responsibility”.

I can't agree, I think it's probably too late to convince most people (including most writers) that Wanda is not omnipotent or potentially omnipotent, but at least they should know that HoM Wanda was not the most powerful person in the history of the multiverse. Any limitation on that story helps.

There is a middle ground here, and that is the one that I assumed anyway, which is that Wanda *only* affected the 616 Universe. It’s just that most Mutants live on Earth anyway. Consequently, restoring the mutant population by Wanda and Hope mainly affected just Earth.

The TAROT #4, is there an Amalgam of Scarlet Witch and Black Widow??? I once said I want more stories with both of them, but that’s not how I meant it . Sounds like a fun Idea, I only thought we already have an Amalgam-Universe with Marvel Characters.
Or is this Scarlet Witch / Doctor Strange ????

“EMPYRE IS COMING!”
As a whole is rather confusing to me.
At first, I thought this is just a reprint (there are many this time, like the Giant Sized Avengers where Wanda and Vision marry).
But this is… a recap?
A re-visit, that adds more details??

I think characters in general need power limits, or they become too difficult for writers to tackle. They are just the answer to everything. Which is what a plot device is, and why it can't ever be done in a good way. Objects should be plot devices, not characters.

Well, the cloak definitely looks like Stephen's, but I am not so sure the other part is Wanda since "Thor" has this belt with M on it.
