wanda maximoff going to be the protagonist of the marvel's x-men movie

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

She could be a POV character/audience surrogate. Those are useful in dealing with exposition. The goal is to have them ask the questions the audience would have.

I saw them more like individuals which had, each of them, their culture and tradition. This “mutant culture” is quite a new thing, not very deeply rooted.

Mutant Culture should have always been a thing, Writers just been bad for a long time. They think having a minority meant not groups of mutants around each other and every time that happened they destoryed which is why Genosha and District X got culled and we got decimation. It is not really a new thing it is just Marvel writer never seem to get millions of people around billions of people is a minority.

But is it a lie tho?

Evidence? Most people know her for 1 character


Well the PF is a Celestial entity, not a 'person' with assumedly human emotions/empathy...and The X-Men didn't welcome it as a teammate and present it to the public as a hero... trying to point out hypocrisy really Waters down the sympathy' angle

I don't know if it counts as a lie if she was led to believe she was a mutant

You're right about the Phoenix force, but what about Magneto?

[Stormultt Divine]

How about introduce mutants with....mutants!

This is genius

[CosmiComic]

Haha, I can't claim to be one. But mutants in the MCU should stand on their own

It still fits as an accurate description of her.
And what about Magneto? After surviving one Holocaust and seeing the threads of another one rising Im not gonna fault him for that. The X-Men fought him for years and he's recently relented and came over to their side. Committing Genocide and being genocidal are both gross but light years apart Wanda almost ended a whole group of people with no provocation Magnetos attitude was a reaction of threats and crimes against him and his people

Wanda wasn't the one that declared herself a mutant. That was Mags. As soon as she found out the truth, she stopped calling herself a mutant.

Amen, you stand corrected

But Magneto has still killed innocent people, and didn't he contribute to her going mentally unstable with his bad parenting? (if I'm not mistaken) Magneto uses the Holocaust as an excuse to be Hitler sometimes

Pretender...
a person who claims or aspires to a title or position.

Unknowingly or not definition and name still sticks

Well I'm not tryna defend magneto I don't know why every time Wanda and MDay gets mentioned it quickly turns into what other characters have done

Pretender means that title wasn't theirs and they knew it too. Also a poser. Wanda didn't know because comics didn't know until 2014.

It's not like Wanda ever wanted to be a mutant as a matter of fact she hated it so calling her a pretender is a reach, Pietro is more of a pretender as he actually enjoyed the few privileges of mutant status be got such as relevance. I would label Wanda a Sham tis more accurate.

[Jewel Runner]

This is the best thing that could happen to the X-Men franchise, but Scarlet Witch is now tied to a long tradition of witches. Mutants have no culture or tradition. They are simply irradiated creatures with damaged DNA.

And whatever culture they're developing now they're just ripping off from the Eternals and Inhumans.

[Lucyinthesky]

The "pretender" insult doesn´t make sense to me and I don´t think Wanda´s character cares too much about it, I think she cares more about what she did inside story. The X-men left it clear there would not be bigger consequences for Wanda than to be rejected by the mutant community after CC and that´s exactly what´s happening she has her life with the Avengers and at Strange´s Academy and the X-men have Krakoa now, things are a little better now.



But I think we as fans take it more seriously than the characters themselves are taking it, in one issue of Marauders callisto made mention of the pretender but without vitrol, she just wanted her powers back and was asking Storm to help her. There´s a subplot going on but given Tommy can come and go at any time, despite his relationship with Wanda, this means we probably are making a bigger deal of what it will be in the story.

Yes Pietro cared about mutants more than Wanda but not because of the "privilege to be a mutant" but because it was a community in which he felt he belonged and was accepted, for a character rejected for most areas in his life this was a big deal, that´s why after M-Day he tried to help in getting the mutants their powers back that and the fact he didn´t did the decimation is what makes him seen in a better light at the moment than Wanda and I think the writers just have conveniently forgotten this fact about Pietro because it´s a great story, he´s not supposed to be a mutant anymore, his sister is seen as a pariah by them but he still has some good friends with them and honestly cares for them mutant causa so this is an interesting conflict the writers could use to develop this subplot.

I doubt that. LOL. Even if I am not into Krakoa. there is always something unque xmen will have that will make it a different. I think people need to be more explanatory to be more convincing. .
