The Trial of Magneto starts this August

Do you think that this story will be as popular as House of M?

Not unless they resurrect Magneto and Madgas actual twins

I mean, Stephen said it's just her "mutant reality warping" in AD. And then Bendis let Stephen say "this chaos magic of hers".
Yeah, Stephen is an inconsistant dumbass under Bendis.

Everyone remembers Avengers Disassembled as saying she had a mutant reality-warping power, but Strange actually says she was born with a mutant power to use magic... which is pretty much the same definition Busiek created in 1998. The "chaos magic" thing was more a confused attempt to retcon another story than to take her sorcerous powers away from her.

Wanda's powers are probably the most poorly-defined in comics, but the comics and now the MCU seem to have committed themselves to the idea that she has magic powers, unlike in the '80s when some writers/editors insisted she only had mutant probability powers.

House of M was the first big standalone event Marvel had done in years, from their biggest star writer. "Trial of Magneto" is running concurrently with "Inferno," an event from Marvel's current biggest star writer.

I don't know what it would have been like if they'd done it in 2020 as they originally planned (before postponing it until after "WandaVision") but it's clearly not the A-list event.

Wonder if this means the MCU will make them back I to mutants as well. Scarlet Witch amazingly was never used across the 20 years of movies, so having her on an X-Men team would certainly be new.

Never say never, but I truly doubt it. Feige put Wanda in the MCU at a time when there was no hope of ever making her a mutant, and he had the opportunity to do it in her show, and instead it turned out to be a bait-and-switch before revealing that she was always a witch. And Feige does not like overly complicated origins or backstories, which explains why MCU Wanda only has one set of parents.

There was no reason other than editorial mandate that the comics version needed to be changed into a non-mutant, but the MCU is clearly using her as a sorceress, robosexual, mother of real-but-not-completely twin boys, etc. rather than anything on the mutant side.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised in typical all abut me fashion that Wanda killed herself at the gala thinking it would make mutant kind happy and also make up for her numerous crimes vs mutants

Agatha does say she had powers preternaturally young. They could be going with the "her mutant ability is she has an easy time with magic"

Damn that’s a very dark theory. What abyss did you stare into for such horror to spring forth?

Well she did try to do that in Children's Crusade before Billy stopped her. But I don't think she could strangle herself.

I’m aware comics don’t follow real life, but I don’t think that you can strangle yourself to death, certainly not enough to leave visible handmarks on the neck

Yall acting like the magic lady couldn't come up with a spell for that

[gonnagiveittoya]

It'd be a pretty shitty murder mystery if it turned out to be "not actually a murder"

[MaximoffTrash]

Yeah, it sounds dumb.

I mean, Agatha called her a baby witch, clearly there are cases of people who are naturally adept at magic. They don't need to be mutants.
It could be MCU version of mystical bloodline/Chthon's curse etc.

I think they were just going with the born with chaos magic thing from the comics. Nothing more. People just wanted it to be more than that.
