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

Clearly in the minority, but the hug was not good in my opinion. People seem to forget that Wanda hated Magneto, so her hugging her 'daddy' is just wrong. Once again, it shows that the whole Magneto as their father, was and still is for Magneto's benefit, to show he isn't a complete monster, and never for the twins benefit. The fact that Magneto even promises to make things right, fills me with with dread not hope, especially given the trial coming soon.

They always forget how abusive he was. Because selective memory and fan art.

Hell he murdered Quicksilver last time he was setting things right. Seeing this as love is warped.

I thought it was quite well done. The twins are stronger characters when they're connected to Magneto imo, it gives them more narrative importance and makes their relationships to both the Avengers and the mutants more nuanced.

I agree. Wanda wants nothing to do with Magneto. Hugging him and dancing with him makes no sense.

Girl has to eat, who is gonna pay her bills when she is out of work for so long.
So playing daddy's girl is fair game, I really hope X-crew pay her well for the sake of her being a loyal/useful background actress for such a long time. Maybe well enough so she doesn't need to do this kind of degrading job anymore.

What examples ever made Wanda stronger with that connection?

[MaximoffTrash]

I disagree, all the garbage that she was put trough was 90% avengers office management

Yeah, now is X-office's time to **** her over.
Everyone gets an equal share of Wanda!

You clearly disagree, and I don't care to argue. I'm too excited by the possibility of them finally re-establishing their connection to their father.

Maximoff twins always have a Schrodinger's love and hate for Magneto. I wouldn't really go too deep into that.
It's more for the sake of plot convenience than anything else, the times Wanda/Pietro switched their stances on Magneto are laughably too many for the limited interaction they actually had.

I know right? this is a great day!

That's because that's true for Pietro, but not Wanda. Most of her narrative and growth was sans any connection to the X-side and on the Avengers. Things involving Mags were mostly a detriment to her character. I hope this time is different. But the past doesn't give too much confidence.

Now I can kinda understand why people are so impressed by HoM despite claiming to be a Wanda fan.
As long as she fit a certain mold, it doesn't really matter what she does, or what she even is.
Why AXIS retcon is bitched about way more than HoM again?
Maybe for some being the pretty little thing for Dadneto is good enough I guess.

Because now Wanda can be Mags' mute princess again. That was so much better for her, lol.

A majority don't even read comics. They should not be altered for them

[MaximoffTrash]

Yeah, cannot wait for even more Twitter mobs acting entitled to Wanda's shows/books/projects and quoting even more HoM.
Such a bright future for our lovely fandom.

But hey they saw a HoM panel on Pinterest once. So they know exactly what's best for her. It was her strongest power level (despite it not being her power at all). It's all clownery.
