My headcanon in regards to this situation is either Kya Maximoff replacing Wanda as the Scarlet Witch, and she is for all intents and purposes just Wanda but a hermit.
(Yeah, Kya from Thor Reigning is more like the vengeful type, but I am just using her as a vessel for hermit Wanda.)
Or a Wanda who replaced Chthon at some point in the future and she just treat the world as some kind of amusement park and take none of the things seriously anymore.
What I said about Monica was just this, more about how she's written in general:
Though I also said this about that specific line:I'm also not sure if you can say Monica is just fine. She tries to act like she is when she goes back to work and etc, but I'd say that's not really that healthy. And then she gets sort of obsessed with this, and, not with wanting to help the citizens that are suffering, but with helping Wanda. She went through the same thing as them but she doesn't talk about how she can't let them go through that, she keeps talking about how she's not gonna stop until she can help Wanda. To me that feels like she almost sees dealing with Wanda as a way to work through her own emotions. That if Wanda can heal, then she can too. But if Wanda keeps getting devoured by her pain, then that means something for her as well.
https://community.cbr.com/showthread...n-2021/page363I think that when judging that line, people are underestimating how big of a deal it is to basically sacrifice your children and husband. I guess because everyone thinks they just "weren't real", when that was actually never what the show went for. Agatha says that the reason they have to die is because Wanda ended up making their existence tied to the existence of the hex. But they're real flesh and blood (Vibranium for Vis) people.
And yeah. What Wanda did is fucked up, I'm not trying to deny that. The people of Westview don't own her forgiveness, and I think she understands that.
I just think people can do bad things and still be good at heart (depending on the context), and you can still understand and empathize with them. And I really hate the people trying to make things considerably worse than they are by ignoring all the context and/or sayings things like "they made the black woman defend slavery" to make a point against her.
On this show, she wasn't a hero, yes. I don't know if I would say "empathetic bad guy", because again I don't think Wanda is really a bad person, and from a narrative standpoint, Wanda is the protagonist and therefore Agatha/Hayward are the antagonists. If the show was about a Westview citizen, then yeah.

Yeah Wanda isn't a bad person at heart.Not at all.She pretty good in that department.
One thing I feel took away from what she has sacrificed was that Vision is alive and has full memories
And that she's immediately gone back for her kids and will probably go too far for them.
All 3 will be back, even when saying goodbye it was more of a see you again.The show makes a big deal about letting go but it's for nothing.Not only is vision alive she just straight up forgets everything she should have learned.
And as I said I think Wanda knows what she has done is wrong.It's just
1)Her stans who says she didn't do anything wrong so much so as saying the hulk in AoU didn't hurt anyone.I'm not kidding, someone actually said that.
2)Monica.Wanda isn't trying to excuse herself but Monica is, I understand Monica understands what she went through and thus sympathize's with her.We all do but she's straight up just ignoring everyone else.
3)She goes right back into the Darkhold stuff.Which is dangerous to say the least.Even though Agatha told her her destiny is to destroy.I mean, at some point you need to get outside help.Like Strange or Kamar Taj.

My opinion on Westview is Wanda should have kept it up & kicked out the people if they were so damn miserable eventhough she improved their lives. The fact she shut it down just because grown adults were complaining about nightmares & wanting to hold their kids. Solution open a hole in the barrier grab yo kids & get TF out. I think MCU Billy & Tommy are probably gonna have some tension with Wanda she pretty much said the lives of those random nobodies outweighs their own. Actually that could be a juicy ass plotline in MOM.....
I don’t know if it’s been said, though on the SDCC Marvel panel Jordan D White said Wanda is not an X-character(obviously). So hopefully whatever comes out of Trial of Magneto it’s HoM will never be brought up again for Wanda and she can be used in Avenger comics or solo again without other writers having to worry about the baggage.
