Interesting cover.



X-MEN: THE TRIAL OF MAGNETO #4 (OF 5)
DOUBLE, DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE!
A Wanda divided cannot stand…
…but there are many other things she can do.
Chaos comes to Krakoa.

spoilers:

I’ve been ruminating on the page where we see blood flowing from Wanda’s wound, which is where her womb is, and from flowers springing forth from it. It brings to mind birth and life. According to Eye Boy, her blood is filled with magic. Leah mentioned that she wanted chaos magic to be a positive force for Wanda. Perhaps chaos magic itself is what is reviving her, and her soul is on the Witch’s Road, where Billy can’t reach her.

I'm really curious about the "A Wanda divided cannot stand..." line.

Did they ever confirm that? Is he the original demiurge that created the elder gods?

It's heavily implied Tini Howard even sorta double downed on the implication in Strikeforce I asked Anthony for 1 the questions for X-Monday hoping they pick it so we can get a concrete answer from a writer.

Yeah it'd be nice to have that confirmed.

With the issue four solicitations mentioning a divided Wanda, maybe there really are two Wandas, but both are real. And one Wanda killed the other. The one that killed her other self is the one that danced with Magneto. And in a way, it would kind of fit how there are the fans of Wanda that want her only magic and Avengers with no X-content and you also have fans of Wanda that want her only mutant and X-related with no Avengers comment. Neither group of fans are inherently more deserving or less of what they want. They just like different parts more. Finding a way to have both, ie no longer dividing Wanda, could let everyone have their cake.

This is my interpretation of it but I think divided indicates being separated in this case. What’s separated is Wanda’s soul from her body and I think Krakoa is consuming/changing Wanda’s body so her soul can return to it creating its own chimera.

It would explain spoilers:

how Wanda could be murdered at 2 am and meet Magneto at 3am

spoilers:

Wanda as a character is literally made up more of Avengers content, it will be ironic since the meek little girl is the killer, like how the X-narrative and stories involving Magneto hijacks her main characterization.

I'm really curious about the "A Wanda divided cannot stand..." line.

There’s Wanda’s physical, dead, body that’s being cocooned in the Boneyard, there is Wanda’s spirit (and whatever it’s becoming) that’s either in the Witches Road or Krakoa itself, and then there’s the back-up version in Cerebro (probably backed up to Busiek era Avengers)

Past (back-up), present (corpse) and future (spirit)

I'm really curious about the "A Wanda divided cannot stand..." line.

It is interesting that she's been two different characters, over the years. A mutant hex bolt-thrower, with a smattering of magical training. Then a 'chaos mage.' Then back to being a mutant, a 'reality manipulator' this time. Then a witch from a long line of witches. It seems like, unlike Ilyanna, who has fairly comfortably straddled the line between mutant and sorceress over the years, Wanda (or, more to the point, *the writers*) have not been comfortable with her as both mutant *and* sorceress, and ended up putting one or the other on the back-burner, depending on whether they want her to be a reality manipulating plot device mutant, or a chaos mage / witchy spellcaster.

Perhaps the 'Wanda divided cannot stand' line speaks to how she's going to have to pull together these divided strands, equally both mutant and mage, and no longer be portrayed as primarily one with just a dash of the other as seasoning (depending on what year it is).

I think it's metaphorical and not literal. Either way, after this is over, let her go back to her home franchise and leave her be.

Nah. Let her pop up in an x-book every now and then.

No thanks. I don't want her hanging on in that environment because of some dream of the Magnus Family. It nevers works out well for her anyway. Leave mutants to their island. Let Wanda go and grow.

It's been Avengers for over 50 years.
