So other than the hellfire gala and that Captain Marvel issue i guess we won't see Wanda in nothing else for this year?
No solicits, no nothing...

Nope. Sad, isn't it? I wish we had something else to talk about besides a divisive movie, future appearances that don't exist yet and comic series that never happen.
We've never been able to figure out why Wanda doesn't benefit from MCU synergy, but nothing seems to convince the comics division that people want to see her.
The only synergy is to use her to sell variant covers.
We can still hold out till Oct-Dec, though it’s highly unlikely she will be in anything I personally don’t like to throw in the towel completely
“There is no defense against the Scarlet Witch's HEX!”
I am glad you think that way but for me it's really hard not to consider that narrative when they are so fucking insistant on saying "Wanda, your kids are fake" so many times.
And honestly the writing of 838 Wanda and her kids just don't work for me, it feels like the writer doesn't understand them what so ever, so he shoved a generic family dynamic on them, and Waldron just sucks too much to even write that well since 838 Billy and Tommy's lines are so bloody robotic, I don't think it's the child actors being inexperienced because they are pretty natural in WV.(And WTF is that ice cream song, is that supposed to be so bloody creepy?)
The typical syndrome of not being a golden boy/girl, you are offered the basic lips service without the actual benefits.
The reasoning they gave is "Wong is the SS" not "Wong is the librarian and well-read on mystical lore".(In both cases of Vishanti and Cthonic lore.)
I don't miss anything.
Both conversation emphasizes his status as the SS, while never mentioning the fact he was the librarian.(Which is a fact in DS1 that is not brought up again in DS2.)
Stop trying to help the writer weasel his way out of this lol.
And great, a character doesn't need fixing and salvaging because he/she is still popular, that's your logic and arrrrrguuuument of all this? You sound like a dev who only cares about profit than a fan, that's what I always accuse people of, no standards.

I would not either Covetous_One, I still say we should see what they are doing with Our Wanda in The Gala, if anything when it comes to the comic synergy with what happen in ToM one of the Gala's Big Themes will be the new Mutant Heaven so their is a hope we might get a launching point of any book from their with how Wanda has been advertised with it.
However, if their is no synergy with Gala and no news before or after, then I think that will be the time we need to think about responsing to Marvel Comics with campgins to find and start asking question in hold their feet to the fire on why they are not using Wanda.

Yea I have to rememeber to go to one of my local GameStops to do mine, whatever the case for Wanda in the game maybe I still feel it will be good and I keep hyping for the Mass Effect feel to the game. That brings back memories of getting to know those unique characters and bonding with your crew and learning of the various Alien Species they come from, it was Very Cool, still is.
Doing that on a Marvel Level in some for will be a treat.

By all I can tell Miss Olsen is a rare lady in Hollywood that is honest and a very sincere person, if the rumors are true, it was thanks to her alone refusing to do certain things in MoM that would have made the movie even darker then we got.
She shows to a nice degree she cares about where she is taking Wanda’s Character and I hope she sticks to her guns in going only for a script that sounds good to her, I think after her experience with MoM she will be looking over any future Wanda project with more care now especially after she buffered against the deserves of the MoM Intelligentsia.
As for the Jewel Comment, I now keep my opinions on what comes form Marvel Studios opinions on Wanda with Grans of salt until they prove to gain back my trust fully. But I still take enough of what they say as they mean it to enough of a degree too. They can’t ignore the skills Miss Olsen has, the complete volume of fans behind Wanda and the surge in popularity she has, MoM is the last excuse now that we learned more about its troubling production history of not getting all these Wanda facts.
I think while other comments of theirs are less to be desired, that they are in a way trying to start to turn the ship around with Wanda and view her as a vital part of the MCU going forward with the Jewel comment. What meaning that will be if at all going forward, I don’t want to fully speculate, but the MCU now in these turbulent times will need to double down on their Mega Stars if they hope to keep audiences and long-time fans around during this transition period.

Yeah it's still kinda weird. Because when Strange says they're not real, Wanda says "but they are, in every other universe". Which like, what does that mean? If Wanda had her kids with a human man the natural way... They shouldn't look exactly like the ones she created with Chaos Magic. And they're also 10, which would mean Wanda had her children at 20. It makes no sense. Lizzie said on an interview that she imagines her being a single mom because she and Vision separated or something. I imagine that she just created them outside of the hex, so they don't need it to exist like the 616 ones. Which Strange says they're not real only because "you created them with magic", which I feel makes it just a matter of perspective.
So basically I'm choosing to handwave that and focus more on how the story is framed overall. Either way, whether 838 Billy and Tommy are real or not isn't brought into question. So it's still more about how she shouldn't try to steal her AU children from that version of her.
