    I think that would make it more of a Wanda movie than a Dr Strange movie. If I had to choose, I would rather they go with Shuma Gorath as the villain of Dr Strange 2. I would rather Cthon be saved for a solo Wanda project. There is also the likelihood of them combining Shuma and Cthon into the same character.

    It's funny because fans of the most popular heroes from the big 2 act like editorial bias barely exists if at all

    But if the Avengers line was larger they'd probably have room for her. The X-Books can use most characters and even fit in a miniseries about Wanda because Cebulski is publishing a huge X-line while cutting back on the books for most other characters.

    With only one Avengers book, anyone who isn't on the Avengers is finding it hard to get used, and Wanda has the additional problem that she represents the "old," "uncool" way of doing Avengers comics.

    Even the success of her show with Vision, i.e. maybe the core romance of the entire Avengers franchise, won't make them budge because they can just say movie/TV audiences don't buy comics.
    So what's the new cool way of doing Avengers?

    Not necessarily. Ghost is an Iron Man villain but appeared in AM&W

    They definitely linking the darkhold with Gargantos ( shuma gorath in the mcu) maybe thats why her page in the book might have tentacles as well, wont be the first time the mcu changes and some character story and gives it to another to make things simple.

    Hopefully not, they should stick to a DS villain and leave Chthon to Wanda.
    But as it stands now, the movie feels more like a cameo-fest than anything else.

    Yeah, MCU really loves to toss out lore bits that makes people think more.(Eternals straight up get rid of the most interesting part out of them and make them random robots/monsters.)

    The Avengers is now more of an all-star book like the Justice League, and it's a book that usually doesn't have much of a history or core cast, and it's focused more on action than character development.

    So most of the characters in Aaron's run have their own books, meaning they can't have any real character development, and it's all about big stories, big threats, big action, while "classic" Avengers was more focused on the character development of characters who were exclusive to the book -- almost all of Wanda and Vision's history is in Avengers issues -- and usually had smaller-scale stories with the occasional big one.

    I'm a hypocrite to say this but you should keep in mind that we don't actually know anything official about this movie except the trailer, which presents it as a perfectly good Doctor Strange story and shows Wanda acting completely in-character.

    The people posting online about cameos that might never happen and plots that have nothing to do with Strange are sort of poisoning our minds against this movie without any real evidence beyond a few out-of-context scenes that leaked out.

    Maybe it'll all be different after the second trailer but right now we're depressed over fanfiction.

    That will be lame lol, but it's very likely.
    They will also probably straight up ignore the existence of Vishanti or make them random extra-dimensional aliens who for some reason want to protect Earth.

    Exactly. While I don't blame people worrying, the trailer itself focused mostly on Strange

    Editorial bias doesn't mean they're making good business decisions.

    Again, look at DiDio actively fucking over Dick and Wally, the only thing he gets is the personal satisfaction of fucking them over, but from a business standpoint, it's a terrible idea to mess with them lol.

    So yeah, editorial can be really terrible when it comes to making business decisions.

    Which's honestly pretty odd considering Cap, Iron Man and Thor don't leave the teams, so, what, is the bias against old school characters who didn't have their own on-going? Lol.

    Even the success of her show with Vision, i.e. maybe the core romance of the entire Avengers franchise, won't make them budge because they can just say movie/TV audiences don't buy comics.
    I mean, movie audience doesn't buy comics, if they did, Avengers would be bigger than X-Men after we got the first movie, and despite how much Marvel tried to push 'em, yeah... Nothing happened lol.

    She'd better not get something like X-Men Green if so lol.

    Toad being good at sewing sounds surprisingly nice lol.

    They could always kinda move Chthon as a Dr. Strange enemy, or just have Wanda be a protagonist alongside him, but the first one is still a possibility, after all, more than one adaptation had Tony creating Ultron instead of Pym.

    Well, if we ignore Dick and Wally fans, sure...

    I wouldn't even say it's a true "all star" team, 'cause we have characters like Robbie, Jen, and Blade on the team, and they don't have their own on-goings, well, besides Jen who just got one, but she didn't have it for a while lol.

    Is Echo on the team? 'Cause if so that's another one who doesn't have an on-going, but she is getting minis, but I think those are related to her Avengers arc.

    So yeah, there's still some room for characters with no on-goings, they're just avoiding older characters for reasons lol.

    I was never under the impression that bias meant that. They have been able to push characters once they became popular in the MCU. Wanda seems to be one of the few they absolutely don't do that with. Before comparing them to someone as terrible as DiDio I'd need to know more info on why they decide what they do.

    I am not for them making Wanda's villain Strange's. He has plenty of his own. Leave Wanda with something. Tony creating Ultron was also terrible. I got tired of MCU Tony.

    This is most definitely not a DiDio situation, 'cause DiDio has a hate boner for Dick and Wally, but it's far harder to mess with them and not be damaging to the company to a point they have to reverse it, if Wanda had a DiDio, she wouldn't have returned after HoM, would probably be dead too, and then, I dunno, maybe everyone would say she was a bitch and piss on her grave lol.

    But just because it's not DiDio levels of bad, doesn't mean there isn't a bias, 'cause if Wanda's selling enough comics, then Marvel should definitely give more attention to her, so the bias could be something like, some higher up not liking her for some reason, and doesn't give her a chance, or sexism not unlike how Ike Perlmutter wasn't allowing a Black Widow movie, so maybe someone thinks Wanda is too small to get her own comic, or even show up, I dunno, it could be the flimsiest excuse to not give her more attention, and it always sucks when someone like that is in power.

    On what might be considered a brighter side, it could be a situation where it's not even bias, just incompetence, Marvel somehow not noticing Wanda increases sales so they don't do anything, would be funny and sad if that's somehow the case lol.

    I am not for them making Wanda's villain Strange's. He has plenty of his own. Leave Wanda with something. Tony creating Ultron was also terrible. I got tired of MCU Tony.
    I'm just sayin' it could happen, but honestly, I have my doubts, while it sucks they didn't make Pym into the guy who created Ultron, it makes sense why they would change who created him, because Ultron is a classic Avengers villain, and someone from the Avengers created him, and Stark is the next best choice out of the characters they had available.

    Meanwhile, Chthon is only a Wanda villain, and Strange has at least 3 villains who fill that "evil godlike being who'd **** everything if he gets on Earth", so yeah, while I'm not saying he's completely out of the question, he's very unlikely to be used, since he's not even popular enough for Marvel to decide to use him over the other villains Strange has.

    I'm not saying there isn't a bias either. I just also never said that they were making good business decisions. It's just not specifically known why they are apprehensive about putting Wanda into an ongoing. And it doesn't make sense why a company would not capitalize on her popularity. And yes, we don't even know if they don't like her. It could be a thing where they just have other things planned with certain writers for certain events and none of those plans include Wanda.

    I don't think Chthon will be featured in Strange either. I think if it's anyone over Wanda it'd be in Blade's stuff. Strange is already set. And they've only scratched the surface of his lore.

    It's one thing to not be in the current roster Avengers comics, it's quite another to not be in them at all. Wanda doesn't even pop up as a guest character, despite her history with the team. Clint, Vision, and Janet also get short shrift.

    There's also the fact that Carol is now likely permanently ensconced in the "Powerful Woman" slot. The Avengers roster these days is like in a videogame, where you have 8 equipment slots but actually you can only customize 3, because 5 of them (Tony, Cap, Thor, Carol, T'challa) are always in use so are off limits. In the old days Wanda, Vision, Clint, and Janet were the actual core/heart of the team, really, with Cap, Tony, and Thor being the solo characters guesting. Now it's the "star" solo characters who are the core of the team, with a few flavour of the months tacked on in the remaining slots to act as sidekicks.

    If they can't use the name Shuma Gorath, and were creating an amalgam of Shuma and Chthon, they would simply call him Chthon. Using Gargantos (what a cheesy, awful name!) allows them to save Chthon till later.
