I know it’s not exactly incredible story telling or character work, but I don’t think it’s made anyone think she’s a bad character.
I don’t think the conclusion of Wandavision pointed to her being out of the woods mentally, she still clearly had a lot of issues to work through, and I don’t think this was the worst way to go about it, story-wise. It sets her far apart from all the other heroes in the MCU, and keeps her arc quite unique to the movies. It’s important to remember how young she canonically is in this universe too, with an absolutely messed up life before her appearances in the films - we can afford to have a Scarlet Witch that messes up.
Yes. They will accept her as a hero (as long as the movie’s good of course). Loki, Wolverine, Bucky, Black Widow, and plenty of others have won the public over - some without even being corrupted, or having a beloved show like Wandavision
