    Only when X-books need her to be so, that is.
    The simple answer? Just pretend the X-side doesn't exist when writers feel like using her.

    Well, isn't that exactly what is happening? What is the meaning of "believe" here?
    I doubt it ultimately result in more sales, nor do I think most X-fans actually care that much about her anyway(which is why I just hope they just separated Wanda from X-side completely and leave everyone in peace), but really, she is a cheap plot device everytime she got involved with X-side since 2004(not saying Avengers side are 100% safe for her either, but at least that is her home franchise).

    Sure, sure, when she is actually allowed to appear other than the need for her screw ups arises.
    And she is the textbook of an exmaple as a plote device in HoM, the concern is already present.

    You guys aren’t going to be happy if the Wandavision rumors are true where she has a mental break from reality that leads into the next Avengers film.

    It would be the next Dr. Strange film that it leads into.

    Those rumors have been around for a long time though and it's hard to tell how plausible they are, because it always seems like people read House of M and are extrapolating from that. There's no doubt that there will be some House of M influence though, as well as some kind of shenanigans that results in the children sticking around and becoming Young Avengers.

    First, I'm going to need to hear more about these rumours and who made them before accepting them at face value. For all I know it may be wishful thinking, like what people did with Kathleen Kennedy being fired from LucasArts after TLJ.

    Not Really, mostly cause and Especially after how well the MCU handled the Civil War Movie SO Much better then it’s comic book counterpart the the leading heads of the MCU have shown good skill of even if their stories do go darker and have more trails for the heroes they seem to strive for them to come out positive and grown more by the end of their ordeals.

    So for me No, they have earned right now my trust IF they down that route it just work out still for the better in the end for MCU Wanda.

    I'm not gonna be surprised. I hope they treat her better in the MCU than they ended up doing in the MU. But also not holding my breath on that one.

    Of course we won't be happy, then again I doubt MCU can pull off Bendis level of BS.
    And mind you the source of rumors is deeply affected by how people view her with HoM around, not really anything legit, like coming from the producers and writers etc.

    Been there, done that. Nothing new about unconfirmed rumours.

    Those rumours are speculation. Feige has emphasised how fun the story is, while Bettany has implied the latter half of the show is a standard Marvel adventure. Olsen has stated they used many stories as inspiration, which means they are not using one story. They will use parts of stories, but will not copy them wholecloth.

    Many of the articles and YouTubers speculating on WandaVision are often hilariously ignorant, with nonsense such as Mephisto and Nightmare being touted as the villain with no mention of Chthon who has actual ties to Wanda, and is the thing which superhero stories thrive on; the deeply personal antagonist. One who has ties to Blade as well

    The assumption that Vision plays no role in the story other than as an illusion, is particularly stupid and actually offensive, yet it is very widespread. From what Schaeffer and Shakman have said, this will celebrate Wanda and Vision's relationship.

    Some rumours even vigorously urge us to believe that the feminist Jac Schaefer (who wants to tell positive stories), and the women writers on the show will make both Wanda and Agatha Harkness into villains. I very much doubt that would be well received.

    Something many people miss is that people watch sitcoms as escapism and to vicariously experience a better life, this is not weird or evil, but a very human thing. "You're more like Wanda than you think", is I think Feige's message.

    It's been stated she will become Scarlet Witch, to that we will learn why she is called that. The title is heroic, and narrative tradition is that superhero titles are always earned.

    I have seen X-men fans defend all manner of racist, sexist, ableist writing. Yes, X-Men fans absolutely are capable of liking sexist storytelling.
