"HEX Be a Lady!" Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff Appreciation 2021

Sorry I should have been more specific, keep in mind I’m just looking at the picture (those measure mean little to me ‘cause I go metric) ..... I did not expect for Wanda to be that tall and muscular/buff compared to the other ladies

Ah no problem. Sorry, I will try metric for you. In reality, Wanda is @.3979 cm taller than Jean and Sue and @1.18 cm shorter than Storm.

But that entire comparison page is flawed in scale as shown because Jean looks really shorter than Sue by a good bit, Wanda dwarfs Dagger and Wanda is even taller than Storm.

Exactly, really odd isn’t it? But Byrne is known to have his own very specific “ideas”......

Ahaha, yes quite true, friend Daedra.

I already mentioned this in the Wandavision thread, but this show did wonders for my personal perception of Wanda. And to think that I was clowning on her like a month ago. Now I’m all anxious to see what she does next.

That's great! I'm glad you are enjoying her story. I'm anxious as well. And hope she's in other media before then, since we have to wait a year.

It's hard to say. I haven't heard any new Marvel media projects coming up

Other media meaning anything from comics to games, etc.

I'd say the future for Wanda looks bright, despite the usual vocal complaints surrounding marvel products and the armchair critics :

[Phoenixx9]

I like this look---sort of a slighty updated classic look!

I appreciate the replies to my post. If you don't mind one more negative post I want to explain why I was so upset at "WandaVision."

(Spoilers follow)

I don't mind that they took Wanda to a dark place, but I feel like the MCU creators don't see Wanda as cut out to be a hero. She tortured innocent people who were begging to be set free, and the only excuse they gave her is that she deluded herself into thinking they were happy. As Agatha pointed out, "heroes don't torture people." There was nothing in the entire series to show that she cared about anyone but herself. Sure, Monica told her about the sacrifice she made, but come on, everyone knew why that line was silly. And they didn't even give Wanda a chance to apologize to anyone except Monica, who was practically her only victim who got helped and not hurt.

Maybe they intend for her to come back from this in Doctor Strange 2, or the now-inevitable WandaVision 2. And maybe they don't. But if you compare how they portrayed Carol coming into her full power, it's clear which character they think is good and which one they think is dangerous and scary.

So the message I got from the series is that Wanda isn't cut out to be a hero, and now that Vision isn't there to pull her back from the brink, she has to accept that her destiny is darkness and chaos. I don't see any hope that they'll let her help people. And if the MCU won't portray her as a true hero then it's unlikely the comics will.

So I have to stop following Wanda. It's very hard because I love and identify with the character so much. But I think it's clear to me that everyone in power at Marvel thinks she's "more interesting" if she's not a true hero. If they make her a quasi-villain in her first starring role, then I don't see how they will ever stop.

I'm much too depressed over a fictional character than I should be, I know. Maybe it's just that the character has helped me through some tough times and looking forward to her show helped me through this horrible year, and then they go and do this.

If I'm proven wrong and her next MCU role treats her better, then maybe I'll start following her again. But I have to stop following her now and learn to let her go.
