Wanda Maximoff: Scarlet Witch Appreciation 2020

To be fair, a lot of heroes get "mind-controlled". Writers and artists love that trope. I just think they go overboard with this too often with Wanda. It is a great failure to her character. That's why I'm counting on Wandavision to change perceptions of her. If she becomes funny and sympathetic, a lot of problematic issues with her character can be forgiven. As previous posters have stated, Wanda in the comics is often too emo and does act like a stick in the mud sometimes. Even Pietro is more fun-loving than she is. I think the movies WILL definitely influence Wanda and Vision in the books, especially now that Feige is in charge of the comics as well. That is if Wandavision is successful as Iron Man, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Thor: Ragnarok. I think it's easier to change Wanda's personality in the comics than Thor and Loki. And I really hope they do.

But that makes it an overused trope, which makes it bad. Wanda needs a break from the mind control.
