    Remender has done Miss Maximoff no favours. His Scarlet Witch is not even one I recognise pre-HoM. In fact the Wanda he writes comes across as the exact same one who before the retcon depowered mutants out of jealousy because she had "daddy" issues.

    At the moment she's become even more self-obsessed with how everyone is being mean to her, how she lost Wonder man. It's all become about Wanda. And that is Remenders big mistake. It makes her look much worse. The actual victims are being swept under a rug and we're being pulled into Wanda's mind. From inside it, it seems like we have a self obsessed cretin. Horrible writing overall.

    In anycase there's still a long list of horrors to at least begin to rectify on her part. Until she confronts her victims and/or their grieving families she's still a monster. As long as Remender has her forget her victims, call them stupid for blaming her etc... she's always going to be a monster.
    Um...citation needed, stat!

    I'm referring to her initial confrontation with Rogue in UA, belittling the fact that she caused decimation.

    And that's ignoring that she's BEEN having knowledge of Skulls camps and did nothing to tell everyone, or warn them, instead drinking tea with Cap and listening to Rogue telling her that she's the victim of it all.........
    So, I guess I'll never see these panels ?

    Did Red Skull even try to do such a thing ? I have no recollection of such an attempt occuring in the serie. Can you point the issue it happened ?

    No need to go further, really: who would take headcanon as face-value ?

    Of course, if you had actual panels or issues to point... One can only hope. ;-;

    Oh, so it was self-preservation that had her take a gutting for Rogue in issue #1 ? Fun reading tbh.
    As for the Skull, something tells me you skipped some pages in issue #25 if you actually Wonder what motivates her to fight him.

    And the word "stupid" was found nowhere.

    Mmh-ok, sure.
    None of them have tried to attack the entire mutant population TWICE, so their motivations are less suspect than the Scarlet loons

    Becasue a character is responsible for their actions AS WRITTEN.

    I think that with RR that redeeming Wanda is secondary to the social points that RR seems to be trying to make, I also think RR believes that what he had Simon say about non-combatants being safe was rational
