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

[king of hybrids]

I hope so. Bring Wanda and Pietro back where they belong.

Being the poor doomed bastards at the focal point of the X-Men & General Marvel office’s bitter distaste for each other?

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

If you want a non X-men character to be the protagonist, I'd suggest Kamala Khan. She fits the Kitty Pryde archetype like Jubilee, Armor, Sofia Mantega etc. Her being Inhuman could be replaced with being a mutant. It's not a big part of her character anyway other than how she gets superpowers. Her comic doesn't really use that aspect beyond the first few volumes. She even thinks she's a mutant before Wolverine tells her otherwise.

Yup! Wanda should have been the third X-Woman.

We have storm, she's unecesssary and not wanted, the pretender won't ever be an x-woman

I think they'll keep the Inhuman origin. She's going to be in CM2, and Carol has connections to Kree. Plus, it makes her more distinct than simply being another mutant

I feel the X-Men protagonist should be an X-Man/Woman. They have many characters and shouldn't be replaced with non-X-characters

Why?

And get Kamala absorbed in Xdrama?
No thank you, she's good where she's at as an independent hero who's not an danger of being fodder the next mutant genocide

This is getting very obnoxious

[jwatson]

Doesn't make sense to make your protagonist a super powerful magical being with a destiny of destruction and chaos. Sounds more solo-ish to me. I rather a Scarlet Witch movie than a Black Widow one.

It's hard to disagree with this. I wouldn't want any character to suffer genocide, mutant or not

We should get a wanda megathread to comply discussion..

For real. All these threads are hard to keep track of, haha.

im not sure what to call it?
The Scarlet Witch x-forums megathread?

I support a Wanda thread in the X-books forum. Let her be like God (=Lee & Kirby) created her: mutant and proud, and an X-Men character!

It’s precisely the reason why it’s interesting: the X-men today make a difference between the people who are mutants and those who aren’t mutants.

But this Kamala Khan seems to be a nice girl and a fan of the X-men. How will they explain she can’t be a part of their club?

um no, its to compile the discussion about her because it's everywhere at everytime and it be easier to contain/administer.
not an apreciation thread, she's not even a mutant much less an x-men.

Didn't he also make her an Avenger?

Maybe she can be part of some X-Men/Avengers co-group in the MCU

That's the beauty of Wanda and Pietro. As per Marvel's and Fox's old movie licensing contracts, they were the only characters who were equally X-Men and Avengers characters. Think how extraordinary that was that 2 separate companies could both make movies with the same 2 characters, with all the necessary differences obviously. Marvel then went out of their way to distance them from the mutant world in the comics, and then I feel WandaVision has put the final nail on the coffin on them being mutants and Magneto's children again - however Wanda is still very much a player in the X-books (see Empyre), not to mention mutantkind's greatest enemy as per HOX/POX's data pages. For these reasons I feel she deserves to also be considered an X-character and be discussed on this section of the forums.
