Wanda is only Romani when it's convenient for rep. Any other time she is a basic white woman in everyway.

honestly i find it kinda hypocrite when people who like comicbook Wanda act like MCU Wanda is the worst human being when there are other comic stories (that we hate here) that made Wanda do the worst thing possible.
It's not really about her being the worst human or anything. That's only the dudebros' argument. For people who like comics Wanda, it's usually about the whitewashing and/or Elizabeth being problematic (saying the gword and etc). And then some people just hide behind that when they hate her for other reasons or just joined a bandwagon (it's lowkey "cool" on some twitter circles to hate MCU Wanda and be a woke comics stan). Used to be a bit about her being "MCU Jean Grey" back when her powers were supposedly just TK/TP and then the red hair too.
If they were going to have Monica stand up for and defend Wanda as much as she did then she really should have been less culpable in Westview than she ultimately was to make it feel justified other than both going through shared loss. Especially when Monica never even got through to Wanda, it was Agatha who forced her to actually do anything about fixing Westview.
yeah it's bad that they erased her ethnicity but i still can't negate that what the MCU version brought to the character was still positive like: more fans and merch that she ever had, featured in blockbuster movies and i would say that WandaVision made Wanda and the Scarlet Witch a more well known name for the general public which still unbelievable for a character that suffered a lot during HoM and all the time she was in limbo.
There are indeed multiple facets. I do hope Hollywood eventually gets to a point (and Marvel too) where they understand that Romani aren't white girls that dress like they are going to Coachella. I am glad Wanda is widely popular though. I hope that eventually we can have both. Maybe in a future generation.

Love is for souls, not bodies.
Yeah, it's a matter of survival for her character.
Outsiders can act high and mighty because they don't actually want anything with Wanda, there is no stake what so ever. They can do without it just fine as long as she us pure.
This also goes for some HoM fans, who cares about her right to content as long as she plays happy family with Magneto?

When we're getting more relevant Maximoff content from a Captain America OGN than from the actual book Wanda is appearing currently.... Anyway, I hope this is canon to the 616 universe. I find it so weird that her solo book had no follow-up, despite being well received. They never even bothered to address the whole situation about her father and the death of Natalya. I hope this gives us some answers, even if I'm not expecting much (after all, it's not a Wanda book).
