Man, i just had a good laugh looking at that eye-patch picture.
Is that eye-patch a symbiote?
"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
Retcons are nothing new with Wanda; Bendis tried to erase Chthon and witchcraft from her lore.
Wanda only appears in comics at all because of MCU synergy, though. No one at Marvel comics wants to write her, and certainly no one at Marvel comics cares about Pietro.
In just 30 minutes of screen time, MCU Scarlet Witch has more character development than the entire last 20 years of comics, and the MCU has become the first to have Wanda written by women writers.

The near erasure of classic Nick Fury, Infinity Gems to Infinity Stones, X-Men in plain black leather, organic webbing for Spidey during the JMS run, making comic Blade a copy of movie Blade (I love movie Blade, but it wasn't necessary), that's what I can think of right now. I'm sure I will hate what they do with the Eternals due to how different the movie seems.
The Eternals are basically the Inhumans with another name. Both comics and MCU already have the Inhumans. So yes, making some big changes seems justified.
Which changes is another issue, of course.
I know Quake’s mom has subsequently become an Asian of Inhuman descent.
But do comics still have her original origin as a hooker who Mr Hyde got with?
Have they changed that part?
Why don't writers want to use them anymore? Because they gutted their characters when they changed them from mutants and took away their family ties. The Magneto family was probably the best family in marvel comics as far as story and drama. You just need to read more of the characters and not just the last decade where they have been shit on.
100% Blade. Wesley in the movie looked cool but bringing that look in the comic and have it persist looks dated. Is he even British anymore?
The Magneto thing is important to one major story and the result of that story was Wanda being gone for like 6 years lol, the problem is definitely a single retcon that doesn't actually change much about their actual characters and not Marvel's fondness for handing Avengers books over to writers who aren't very fond of the Avengers
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
Scarlet Witch and Wasp were the female go-to stars of the Avengers. Thanks to Bendis and the movies, it's Captain Marvel and Black Widow era.
Quicksilver wasn't that popular with any of the X-Men and Avengers writers.
