Yeah, also when there is no big enough of a threat for her to put down. (Morgan, Challenger.)
She usually ended up being the threat.
I don't mind them making her powerful, if the enemy in question is enough of a match so they don't make Wanda the source of threat.
I think Wanda's role in mutant/X franchise while not big or prominent, usually fit some juicy and popular tropes that draw in certain audience and fans.
Like at first glance, an "evil" monarch's hot and kind Princess is kinda appealing, but is that really Wanda's place? Not really.
It would be fine if that was not the only representation of Wanda at that period of time.
But sadly it was and so it caused Wanda's identity confusion.
Animation viewers from that time would view her identity as Magneto's daughter first.
I am kinda glad her major image nowadays in MCU is an Avenger(though her place is not held as high as "OG6", and there is really no "Avengers attachment" scene like Nat did).
Yeah, but as her sole mainstream media representation.
Also pretty much all of her quality animation appearance is with X-Men, EMH is like the only good Avengers animation that she unfornutanely missed.
I wouldn't mind her being in Avengers Assemble, I don't really like the show, but it would be nice for kids to know she is an important part of it.

What's up with Wanda's tendency to piss off large fanbase.
In comics, she became a plot device for mutant genocide and invited much hate from X fanbase.
Then in MCU, she was pitted against Iron Man two times and so it started the ever-lasting bashing of her from some bitter fanboys, I would say it seems pretty ridiculous for a fictional character as "privileged"(meaning loads of screen time and creator's favor) as Iron Man to blame and judge a less fortunate Avenger fellow.
They have the prominence, the investment, the superior number and they also want the moral high ground to call you names and stuff.
Hopefully after Endgame, the more toxic part of the fanbase would just leave, and the feud die down like X-feud did.
Also did people and fans in general just worship power? Iron Man for her wealthy playboy and fancy suit character, Wanda for her power show-off. I hardly see people talking about the potential lore and stories behind them.
That's what I feel about most new fans. (Or it's just the Twitter culture or something.)

Assemble is over and there hasn't been any word on a new Avengers cartoons.
There've been hints we might be getting a new X-Men cartoon and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she turns up in that.
Although considering the trend of Marvel Animation I'm worried that whatever her next animated interpretation is will fall short of her portrayal in WaTXM.
