Oh yeah, I totally agree with you on that one. I think Marvel Studios will try to avoid this bad habit because it will hurt the MCU in the long run. The MCU is not the Simpsons where things really never change and nobody ever ages. That's what makes it better in some respects than the comic books on which it is based. One thing concerning Wanda has unnerved me of late. I think Marvel Comics is giving up on making Scarlet Witch lose control of her powers (and her mind) because of the severe backlash that kind of storytelling has provoked in recent years. Because it IS really politically incorrect when dudes like Professor X and Silver Surfer handle their powers with skill and expertise. But I think they've fallen on a new trope: making Wanda STUPID. And that she needs older male magical figures like Dr. Strange to help "fix" her mistakes (again):

It's true that the Wasp and the Invisible Woman have both grown beyond being "irrational and undependable naifs." Wanda has not. And I think this kind of thing will be repeated in the movies for the Scarlet Witch, unfortunately.

Them thinking that Wanda needs corrected all the time by men is why Agatha needs kept as a mentor. Agatha has way more experience than Doctor Strange and has lived way longer. But somehow the almost decade that Agatha mentored Wanda is not enough to make her a seasoned magic user, even though she was depicted as such before. There's some very veiled misogyny there.

Honestly I don't expect her to be a loremaster or something(even though I hope she has more mystical knowledge in a specific area, she doesn't need to be a human Encyclopedia, she should have ample knowledge in fields like Chthonic magic and Witchcraft, or at least not act like a "noob". I mean it's kinda like in depicting female video game players as clumsy and in need of help or something.)
Yeah exactly. My point of reference it the whole magical artifacts thing. She use to know those were dangerous. Came off what she learned about the Darkhold. In Powerman and the Iron Fist, she went into it a bit. Now she's treated like a complete novice that didn't have any training let alone almost a decade. She doesn't have to be a know it all, but at least know things she has come across before. It'd be nice that if Marvel wants to continue to keep this huge glob of continuity that they'd reference it.

That was just Hickman writing women... We should move on, it was expected that he would do something like that, especially on this new x-men era of extremists...
Anyways
New promotional photos
Sue Storm, Moira MacTaggert, Monet St Croix, Destiny, Mystique, Valeria Richards, Storm, Polaris, Emma Frost, Magik, Dani Moonstar, Saturnyne,...
I understand that you are affected because you love Wanda (just as Tini Howard's writing on Rogue affects me), but don't make a generalization of Hickman's portrayal of powerful female characters
The lobster is an I Love Lucy reference.
