I agree with you. Romani writers and consultants are definitely needed when it comes to the twins, to prevent situations like you just described. It’s an important part of both their stories, and should be treated with respect instead of as a quirky costume. I really appreciated that Saladin Ahmed paid tribute to it in Pietro’s mini. Ahmed has also pointed out that Wanda, Pietro, Doom, and other Romani characters in Marvel should have Romani writers. Marvel needs to be pushed on that front.
The problem is that speedsters (as well as reality warpers) can be incredibly OP. So they get nerfed, or sidelined. Too many do see Tommy as young Quicksilver, with little to offer. But I think he has a lot of untapped potential, especially with his origin and how he uses his abilities. I really hope Ewing gets to write both of them in a team up book like Hawkeye.
What is with Marvel being so bad at writing speedsters? DC is awesome at it. The Flashes are such iconic characters. Then again DC struggles to write robot characters. I will say that DC is better at writing WOMEN characters than Marvel is though. I wish I knew more about the Young Avengers. I'm too old and too lazy to read their stories. So I guess I will have to stay unfamiliar with their mythos. I hope Speed is used better in the movies/shows than he is in the comic books. I read that he has been irrelevant as a character for the past fifteen years or so. If there is not much source material for the MCU to work with, then I fear he will be killed off relatively soon. If Pietro does NOT come back into the MCU proper, however, I could see Disney giving his stories to Speed though. Kind of like how Rhodey is being given Tony's most famous storyline in Armor Wars.

There is a major leak going around that seemingly confirms that Evan Peters does appear be to playing a version of Quicksilver. It also has several other spoilers. Proceed at your own discretion.

That’s certainly a strong possibility. It looks like he’s wearing something similar to the MCU costume. He also spoke in a very cruel way to her in a way I can’t see the MCU or Fox version being. Pietro was overprotective as always to Wanda in AoU, while Peter was shown to be sweet if immature. So this could be Mephisto wearing a Quicksilver costume, or possessing him. We know this show is supposed to lead into Multiverse of Madness. What if Mephisto plucked Peter out of the Fox universe as a means of using a still living version of her brother as a means of controlling Wanda and getting his hands on Billy and Tommy? I’m honestly burning my brain trying to see how this all fits together.

It was leaked a while ago, but this is the first real evidence we have of Evan Peters being on this show and possibly playing a version of Quicksilver. It could be an Easter egg to his role of Peter, Mephisto disguised as him or possessing him to control Wanda, or an evil AU of the Fox version trying to lure her back to his universe. We know this is supposed to lead into Multiverse of Madness. We just don’t know how yet.

I hope he's really Pietro. Pietro having been killed in his introduction movie and essentially never getting to be part of that universe has always stung, and I'm not even exactly a fan of him. Now, I also hope it's not really the same character from the Fox universe... I'm hoping he's just another Pietro from the multiverse. The characterization seems quite different, so I'm hopeful. Either way, he better be called Pietro too and not Peter. Him being called Peter is like if the whole "Wendy" joke about Wanda was real.
