Scarlet Witch Appreciation Thread

[CosmiComic]

Wanda and Magneto embracing in a familial-love, father/daughter context is really weird if you understand Wanda’s pre-Bendis (el oh el) history, but…

::chugs beer::

…fuckit, whatever. I’ve been dealing with retcons to my favorite character for a long time now.

It seems her history post-disassembled is all that really matter.

Which still had her hating him in her solo book and relieved to not be his daughter.

It's a retcon guys the new normal is Magneto is a ctappy father figure but he still loves his kids in his own way and apparently some part of the Scarlet Witch reciprocates that.

he kills pietro

Wanda wouldn’t hug him if he did that. So obviously, he doesn’t.

Comics change with the times. These days it’s understood men can be great parents, which is why Magneto pledged to be a better father to all of his children.

Old story. In the past. Thst entire family has done bad things. This is about moving forward.

Lol, what? Good fathers always exist and it's pretty well understood men can be good parents.
The idea of ideal fatherhood changes over time but Magneto probably will fail most standards.

People that think that if they become family they'll become loving are smoking something. It'll be just like it was in the previous 30 years.

Magneto isn't a mutant freedom fighter anymore and he has a home for all his kids.

Wouldn't be that bad.

There will always be drama. Whether they become biologically related again or just consider each other family. That's the Marvel way with families.

Not much drama with the FF. Jean and Scott don’t have drama with Cable or Rachel. Elizabeth Braddock is close to her brothers, sister-in-law, and niece.

These days Mystique has no conflict with Nightcrawler or Rogue. Wolverine and Daken put aside their differences, and now Wolverine is on good terms with all his children. The Black Panther is close to his mother. Scarlet Witch is on good terms with her children.

I could go on. These days most Marvel families are stable.

So this is from TOM #5 ?, if so how/where Do you guys get this info from ?.

The artist, David Messina, is doing issue #5 and has been posting teases on twitter/instagram.

FF were made so their book was about family, and even then have had drama. The Magnus family, not so much. Jean and Scott has had plenty of drama and there were the initial moments where Jean had a hard time accepting Rachel because it was just a weird situation. Where she didn't give birth to this person but she kind of has a daughter. The others are all pretty much good relationships but often apart. Some others have a history of drama and the next chance Marvel would get they'd create more. BP is close to his mother but they don't have a lot of stories together. She's a support character. Not a big character. So she's more on par with Aunt May. And not heroes who are constantly in action, having stories told about them. Some that run in conflict and have a history of conflict. Definitely not on par with a family several times retconned with a history of abuse and murder.

Wanda is not on any terms with her kids. She hasn't seen or talked to them in a while. Especially Tommy. And she's never really had a relationship with them. Her solo had her claim that the relationship made her feel weird.

Evidently they would have us believe Wanda & Tommy are very close since he calls her "mommy" hopefully that'll actually be shown more in the future, like I can buy that Wanda has worked on her relationship with the twins off panel I can believe that narrative I just wish it was on panel! So when we do get moments like this it feels more genuine.
