I've been rewatching old MCU movies (where Tony is alive, sue me) and I still find it so hard to watch J.A.R.V.I.S die. He loved Tony so much, cared for him so much and that, even nowdays, when people throw that Edwin Jarvis' quote "I'd hate to live on as a voice" or something like this, to justify that Tony was wrong to create J.A.R.V.I.S and give him Edwin's voice is like a fucking insult to both Tony Stark and Edwin Jarvis.
Tumblr media
Because Edwin was the one who rised Tony. To that boy Jarvis was the father, not Howard Stark and for the script writers who say that Jarvis would have hated if he knew about J.A.R.V.I.S having his voice, when he knew that Tony, the boy he raised, found comfort in his voice... is like the most disgusting thing in the entire universe (universes).
And to mention, the biggest fuck up (or, knowing them, it was probably intentional with how they hate Tony) was when they had Vision fall in love with a woman who gave herself to neo-Nazi organisation because she hated Tony that much. Who was responsible of Ultron being created, who was responsible of J.A.R.V.I.S' death and who triggered Tony's PTSD again (because she is their baby white girl (you know, when she is canonicaly Rromani, but *whitewashing* (I'm white myself*)) who makes them more money)...
That something that came from J.A.R.V.I.S, Tony's most advanced A.I. that Tony created, who loved his creator so much and whose prime purpose was to protect Anthony Edward Stark, would ever fall in love with that woman is butchering both Edvin Jarvis' and J.A.R.V.I.S' characters...
Tumblr media
And to not even show how devastated Tony probably was in AoU and just make Wanda their princess who can do no wrong... To have Vision even entertain the idea of liking J.A.R.V.I.S murderer is horrifying and I'm very glad to see that her suffering and hope that she will bring death upon herself (we all know she didn't die in MoM, MCU writers will never kill off their milking cow when they can make more money).
Also, I've not watched MoM but I've read what happens and to all these people who even like Wanda after all that shit she pulled (starting with in WANDAVISION) and go like "slay, qeeun"; "girlboss" and everything like that... get out of my page and never interact with me, ya'll disgust me and scare me too.

Hello!
Welcome to the Problematic MCU Ship Tournament!
This blog will pit 64 different pairings against one another. All of them are in some way “problematic”- some feature a minor and an adult, others feature incestuous pairings, others still simply have questionable or potentially abusive dynamics. Many ships combine elements of more than one.
Each day, 4 polls will be posted pitting two different ships together (for a total of 8 ships per day). You are free to vote in as many or as few of these polls as you’d like.
This blog is explicitly pro-ship and anti-censorship, and obviously features dark themes. If this is a point of discomfort for you, you are free to block this blog, I don’t bite. Hate towards anyone (and anything unreasonably rude about ships or characters) will not be published and users that send it will be blocked. Nothing explicit will be posted to this blog, regardless of the ship, so minors are free to interact if they so wish.
The bracket below shows all the ships that will be posted, as well as their first opponent. After the first round has been completed, the diagram will be updated and all of the winning ships will be pitted against one another. You can also find a typed list of all ships under the cut, for users that can’t or don’t want to read my terrible handwriting.
May the odds be ever in your (ship’s) favor!

“ShE LoSt HEr FAke KiDS aND WeNt CrAzY”
wanda grew up in a third world war-torn country. her parents died because of a bombing that happened during sokovian conflict. she lost her brother, her entire country that was used as no more than a battleground while her people died, vision (three times), and created or not, her children and her family. both her and her brother were experimented on inhumanly by a terrorist organization who took advantage of their desire to make the world a better place after the loss of their parents and their experience with growing up in sokovia. i think people constantly try to belittle her trauma by emphasizing, “omg she lost her fake kids and she went crazy.” you do understand how much she’d lost BEFORE wandavision, how she was relieved to have almost died twice (in AoU and in infinity war)?? she was ready to give up on her life, and yet each time she came back hopeful- stronger. her life in westview was the only thing keeping it all together. once she lost her family, then she “became crazy,” but even then, she was possessed by the darkhold to want to do the things she did in MoM. not only did her true self have NO idea what was going on, as seen when professor x to save her from inside her mind, but she had the power to break from the curse and REPENT for what she did by not only destroying the darkhold in every universe, but also by (allegedly) ENDING HER OWN LIFE. i don’t wanna hear anything about how “she’s not taking accountability.”
i think what’s the most unbelievable to me is how clearly it was explained how the darkhold takes over people’s minds, corrupts them, makes them indulge in their deepest desires and influences them to stop at nothing to get it, and yet wanda is being criticized as if she had control over what she did in MoM???? as if she knew what she was doing??? sorry but did you not watch the scene where professor x went into her mind and found real wanda trapped under rubble asking for his help while she completely unaware of what was going on?? or did that scene just not happen?
antis need to stop disregarding facts as the foundation of their arguments just to prove a point lol it’s getting ridiculous and quite frankly irrational…

I'm a newbie to the Stony fandom by way of the MCU and was told the Resurrectionverse was one of my first must reads. Is there anything I should know going in that I wouldn't because I don't know the comics well?
That’s a complicated question. I’m going to post a short version that just lists major differences from the MCU and a long version that’s a summary of the comics backstory.
Short version: RR&R is a fixit fic for the 616 comics version of Civil War (and a previous event called Disassembled). The two biggest and most important differences between MCU and 616 Civil War are:
1) In the comics, Steve and Tony are much closer friends then they ever were in the movies/have been close friends for a decade, and
2) Instead of an international set of “accords” about superhero activity, the Civil War conflict is about the American government wanting to make every superpowered person join a registry and be subject to government oversight (this is thousands-to-millions of people rather than a few dozen because the comics also include mutants/the X-Men, and “Mutant Registration” is a political goal that anti-mutant conservatives in the comics have wanted for decades, we know from various X-Men storylines where people come back in time from alternate futures that in timelines where it’s implemented it often leads to very bad dystopian things), with Steve on the “fuck this idea and fuck you”/tear the system down side and Tony on the “if we cooperate maybe it won’t be as bad”/try to reform the corrupt system from within side. Bucky Barnes/the Winter Soldier has nothing to do with it. Also the conflict ends with Steve surrendering and then getting publicly assassinated by bad guys.
Other important differences:
Spider-Man is an early-20s adult who is married to MJ.
Tony Stark is about twenty years younger/the same age as Steve and is less of a manic-depressive quippy maverick and more of a clinically depressed control freak (who has never been romantically involved with Pepper). In the past he struggled with severe alcoholism and is now sober in the “I never drink alcohol ever” way.
Nick Fury is a white guy with a completely different backstory and personality from MCU Fury (and there was never an Agent Coulson, his right hand man is a guy named Dugan).
Hank Pym and Jan Van Dyne/Ant-Man and the Wasp were two of the original Avengers and are in their 30s with zero children (Hope doesn’t exist). Hank canonically has bipolar disorder and in the past has done both crazy mad scientist things and shitty relationship-destroying things while manic.
Luke Cage is married to Jessica Jones and they have a kid. There is a character named Spiderwoman/Jessica Drew. She is a physically enhanced former ninja who has nothing to do with Spider-Man.
Dr. Strange was involved in the whole Civil War thing on Steve’s/the anti-Registration side. The anti-Registration Avengers are crashing at his house (instead of in Wakanda) when the story starts.
Clint was never part of SHIELD and has a totally different backstory (he’s not in the first fic for reasons of temporary deadness but appears in the sequels).
Thor and the Asgardians are supernatural being/possibly actual deities rather than aliens. Thor was briefly dead during the whole registration fight but got better.
Jarvis is a human rather than an AI.
Sam Wilson/the Falcon has a pet bird that he’s psychically soul bonded to.
Bucky did not kill T’Challa’s father and T’Challa is not significantly involved in the Civil War conflict beyond glaring disapprovingly at it from Wakanda.
Wanda Maximoff/the Scarlet Witch is a mutant and one of Magneto’s kids. Prior to the whole Civil War thing she disastrously lost control of her powers and went crazy, destroying the Avengers’ headquarters and killing Vision and Clint (she later brings Clint back via those same powers). At the start of the story she is MIA.

I've noticed the difference in how Hank acts around Simon too. I've always headcanon'd that Hank feels more at ease and relaxed around Simon. Simon probably reminds Hank of his childhood, and is something of a personal 'what if' for him. Simon, to him, is basically a look at what Hank could've been if he became a lazy, easygoing slacker instead of an emotionally detached scientist, and he knows he would've been happier, even if not as smart. He brings out his long repressed emotions. I think that vulnerability scares Hank on some level, but he does deeply care for him. Hank's devotion to the X-Men is, ultimately, more of a toxic one and keeps him further and further detached from humanity. Simon brings out the inherent human nature inside of him. Although Hank is probably still a bit insecure about finding him attractive, if he admitted it and pursued it, he probably wouldn't be so messed up these days. But Hank is still too stubborn and proud to admit any of it right now.
Oooh, yeah, I think that's a good point. I do think definitely Simon reminds Hank of himself a little, at least initially; while the Avengers were a good place for Hank to be, he did feel like an outcast still; everyone else had established relationships and knew each other really well, and of course aside from Vision he's the only visibly nonhuman. And the Avengers like him, but I think it's fair to say they don't do that much to make him feel as welcomed as they could have done. So when Simon comes back, and has no idea what's going on or who anyone is I think Hank is incredibly sympathetic to him but also, selfishly, is excited to build his own relationship with someone who isn't part of another half, the way Vision and Wanda or Janet and Hank or Steve and Tony were parts of a half.
And like, to be fair, he learns an awful lot about Simon in a very short period of time; Avengers #160 is like a week after he joins the team so Hank learns very shortly that Simon had an abusive situation with his elder brother, that his body has changed in a massive way that he doesn't understand and that's scary, and that he's incredibly uncertain of his own relationship to the rest of the team. There's a lot there that Hank can not only see himself in re: your body changing suddenly and rapidly and not knowing how to adapt to it, and uncertainty of your place. But also he learns very soon on that Simon's had a bit of a hard childhood and to this day we have so little information of what Simon did in his childhood that I think it's very likely he just never really had friends, so obviously Simon needs a friend and I think that, being able to play the part of the savvy, cultured friend helping Simon experience the world he was always too busy studying to look at is really good for Hank. It lets him build his own identity on the Avengers and as a result I think Simon really symbolises that era of his life, when he was happier and more carefree and didn't have to justify to himself having a good time when people were in danger.
And yes absolutely the X-Men are something regressive for Hank that really isn't healthy for him. Because it's not good when you're only a part of a team because you feel indebted to an aspect of your identity you actively resent some days, when your girlfriend breaks up with you for changing and you have to relearn everything with paws instead of hands, etc. The X-Men face so much hatred and bigotry and I think that makes Hank's sense of identity with his own mutanthood more confused, because so much of it is defined by oppression and giant genocidal robots and stuff when you're on that team, vs the Avengers where anti-mutant racism is still a thing but there's a lot of other stuff going on too.
Plus, I think a problem with it too is that a lot of X-Men, by virtue of being a minority group and being leaders of a minority group, have a "the ends justify the means" mentality. Charles will meddle in people's minds when necessary, as will Jean and Emma. Scott was very willing to do questionable acts during the Utopia era to ensure survival. Logan will kill people if it means mutants survive, etc etc. And I don't think any of those people would go as far as current era Hank has but I do think it's not a mistake that around the X-Men his own sense of morality slips. Because when you're facing genocide every two years, it makes sense that you would do anything you could to prevent it. And I think that's what happened to Hank, where he's really internalised the lesson that anything is justifyable if it ensures survival. And he's lost his own sense of what he personally will and won't do, because he's no longer an individual with the X-Men, but part of a collective and willing to do anything to perserve that collective.
Ultimately what Hank really needs is a moral compass. And Simon, who as I said was abused as a child and in turn acted abusive to Vision in the past, has a very strong understanding of what people are capable of but also knows through Eric and himself that people can choose what kind of person they are. And modern day Simon especially is very careful to choose the best option, to not allow himself to be part of a cycle of violence that took his childhood from him, and in turn I do think that's genuinely inspirational to Hank. I keep mentioning it, but Uncanny Avengers v3 #28 is still like, probably the best thing Hank's been in modern days and I'm barely joking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like, Hank is aware of his own flaws but he doesn't exactly like to be harshly confronted with them, which is much more what happens in Uncanny X-Men 600, and he reacts in a much more upset way rather than what happens in Uncanny Avengers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just feel very strongly the text of these comics really ends up being that the Avengers are in every way a better place for Hank. He's more confident, he doesn't feel the need to try as hard, he's more morally astute, he's a good friend and he is willing to reach out to people and admit his own short comings with them. But on the X-Men, because he's giving so much of himself to them he reacts angrily and defensively when they rightfully call out his flaws. It's just a bad place for him to be in and it really is the Avengers and further more, Simon, where Hank is his best self.
Anyway, that last part, yeah if Hank could just like... idk learn what bisexuality was and come to terms with that part of himself more he'd be better off for it (not least because Marvel is too scared to let a queer character be evil these days it seems Sinister doesn't count). Unfortunately again, the X-Men are just a bad place for Hank so that is never happening there!

So I kinda assume everyone ships incest couples for the exact same reasons I do but a post by @shipcestuous made me realize that people have more than one reason.
So anyways, I'll tell you (overexplain and explore a pretty simple concept and line of reasoning till I'm no longer passionate about it and spend a few weeks away from the concept in anyone who will listen's general direction) mine if you tell me yours.
Once again time to see the follower count decrease after answering this haha.
I'll take some of Shipcestuous' (Astrid's) post 26 points about shipping siblings (also applies to cousins like Bwen) and add one or two of my own, which I think she didn't cover:
27) Sometimes we just prefer the shipcest over the canon pairings.
That's something I discussed  in a previous post of mine when talking about why I prefer Bwen over Benlie, Benkai and Gwevin. Fits some of my other shipcests too, like, I prefer Wanda x Pietro over Wanda x Vision, or (from Wizards of Waverly Place) Justin x Alex over Justin x Violet and Alex x Mason, or (from Frozen) Elsa x Anna over Anna x Kristoff.
A counterpoint would be: Ok, you don't like the canon pairings, but why not just ship the character with someone else that isn't a relative?
Sometimes I actually do that! For example, in Arrow I've never shipped the canon Oliver x Felicity, I used to ship Oliver x Laurel, and never felt like shipping Oliver with his sister Thea (though I have friends who do ship them).
But sometimes, I don't see a canon option that fits better than the shipcest, and that dives into Astrid's reason #18 ("you’re guaranteed “shippy” moments whether the romantic/sexual element is canon or not. The siblings are going to have sweet moments, significant moments, intense moments, emotional moments, pretty much no matter what.") Sometimes I feel like the better option is the relative (sibling, cousin) rather than another canon character. I don't like Wanda x Vision, so could I ship Wanda with, IDK, Thor? Yeah, I could, but I see her bond with Pietro much stronger, so I'm more inclined to ship her with Pietro rather than Thor.
28) Subtext is just WAY TOO strong
This I would point to Lauren and Andy from The Gifted. Nobody can watch a video like this and tell me they have a totally normal sibling relationship without any subtext of something else 
.
Now, I'll take some of Astrid's reasons that I most identify with.
10, 11) The "undivided loyalties" and "anti-change" aspect.
I'll once again give a Bwen example. In the Classic Series we see Gwen diving into the null-void to save Ben, pushing him out of a Florauna's way, and other moments. But in Alien Force, there is a scene where both Ben and Kevin are knocked out and she runs straight to check on Kevin rather than Ben. Then in Omniverse, Gwen leaves with Kevin, and Ben stays in Bellwood (later Rook joins him). Gwevin clearly changed the dynamics that I was used to between Ben and Gwen being devoted to protect each other, and I didn't want that to change.
A good counter-example to that, the Fantastic Four. They were always a family, Reed, his girlfriend/wife Sue, Sue's brother Johnny, and Reed's brother-from-another-mother Ben (and sometimes Reed's and Sue's children Franklin and Valeria). I like it that way, I wouldn't ship Sue and Johnny there because it would break that already established family dynamics.
9) Ulltimate codependency. In Astrids' words "Codependent characters who are also each others’ family are that much more codependent. No, it’s not always the healthiest situation, but there’s just something about a pairing that only has each other, who are each others’ everything." That defines at least three ships for me, Sam/Dean (Supernatural), Chris/Claire (Resident Evil), Hansel/Gretel (multiple media adaptations, but I mostly go with Witch Hunters).
1) Taboo/Forbidden aspect. Let's face it, this is probably the greatest consensual romantic taboo one can ship. There's a good deal of angst to write siblings or cousins hiding the nature of their relationship from the rest of their family. This I can put Ben and Gwen hiding it from their parents (and from Gwen's older brother, when he exists)
.
Last, but not least, another one of mine:
29) I ship what I want!

How do you feel about X-MCU! Quicksilver x MCU! Scarlet Witch?
yeah I know its a pretty crack ship but like it doesn't have to be in a romantic way. It can be like platonic and/or family bond or whatever. I just really like speculating what their dynamic would be like, how they would meet, etc. etc.
(Btw up to you if you consider Ralph -ugh- Boner secretly Peter Maximoff)
It's not my favourite version of the ship, mostly because I don't like that they don't have an established relationship with each other and I prefer 'incredibly codependent and have never been apart in their life.' 'Essentially strangers' is an odd dynamic for them imo.
But theres definitely interesting stuff in there. xmen Quicksilver is basically Tommy in personality (and background) and thats an interesting dynamic for him to have with Wanda. Especially for her to see what her brother would be like if he'd had a slightly less hard life, less anti-social, less unhappy and all that. Or is she more of a maternal figure to him than she wouldve been with her Pietro?
I didnt watch wandavision (i dont like the way the mcu used Wanda, also i just hate seeing Vision's face), so Ive only percieved it through tumblr, but I dont see any reason to not throw out the Ralph thing to get something more interesting. (Also the like 2 gifs of him interacting with the kids is very important for scarletsilver reasons. I want them to be a family so bad.)
Personally I have a lot of headcanons for the new xmen to make Peter more like actual Quicksilver (eg. Wanda being more than a hint in the DOFP directors cut) so I'd be working with a different characterisation preferably. I can't see him not wanting to help any version of Wanda he meets tbh, unless she's trying to hurt his Wanda. He knows how completely lost he'd be without her and would want to help her get her version of him back and would try to keep her balanced in the meantime. I'd see that as something softer and more romantic on his side, even if she's more desperate.
If you want to take the more immature characterisation that xmen Peter has, I kinda like the idea that he's in love with his Wanda but she's holding back, and then he gets dragged into this other world with a Wanda who isn't afraid of wanting to be with him and so he gets (almost) everything he wants, like a paradise, and so does mcu Wanda, but there's always a tiny little thing wrong to go with the general uncanniness of wandavision (that they aren't the exact right version of each others' person) and they have to confront that eventually (and hopefully get back to their people for a happy ending)

Part of the MCU's storytelling problems stem from the fact everything takes place in the same universe.  Endings are left open to lead into the next project.  And because it's gone on for so long we're seeing issues with continuity to the point that there's retconning and character derailment.  One of Endgame's issues was that it was an ending that wasn't; the MCU was still going to continue afterwards.
Instead of having Tony make the ultimate sacrifice and giving Steve….that ending, ALL of the Avengers and their allies share the Stones' power together and defeat Thanos.  No one has to die.  (And while we're at it, find some other way to get the Soul Stone so Natasha doesn't have to sacrifice herself).  Tony can retire from being Iron Man and settle down with his family, Steve can still pass the shield on to Sam but stay in the present, all the Avengers live...And that's that.  Avengers: Endgame concludes Phase 3.
Phase 4 should have been mostly just tying up loose ends from the previous phases.  A few ideas:
Dr. Strange vs. Mordo
Captain Marvel vs. The Kree
Spider-Man's fifth and final contracted MCU appearance be moved from Phase 3 to Phase 4 and would wrap up his arc properly with none of the tug of war between Disney and Sony.
The Black Widow movie can still happen pretty much as we saw it (with just a few minor story adjustments, that movie could have easily taken place after Endgame).
Captain America starring Sam, with Bucky as a sidekick.  Maybe even have Natasha and Yelena join them and/or a non-derailed Sharon Carter (who's an ally not the big bad).
Phase 4 can conclude with the multiverse.  Maybe have Wanda discover that Vision is alive in one universe, Pietro's alive in another, and she ends up breaking the multiverse trying to bring them together and Strange and some other heroes try to stop her and fix what she’s done.
Now that the multiverse is confirmed, Phase 5 could take place in one of those other universes.  That is, Phase 5 would be a rebooted MCU.  Here we can introduce the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Eternals, etc. and not worry about continuity issues with the previous phases.  Plus it would still allow actors to return for their roles if they wanted to, they'd just be playing different versions of themselves.
There's nothing wrong continuing the MCU itself.  The problem is continuing in its current continuity.  It needs a reboot.  This will prevent established characters from getting derailed and new characters and storylines won’t be held back by what came before.

Spider-Man: No Way Home makes Tony Stark's sacrifice even more tragic. Said sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame is already one of the saddest moments in the entire MCU. However, Spider-Man's latest solo outing (and his entire post-Endgame arc in general) make it even more heartbreaking than before.

Saw Multiverse of Madness. Thoughts under the cut. There will be spoilers
That was definitely a Rami movie. I loved the cinematography.
I thought it started a little too fast? Strange goes to see Wanda for help and she’s like “Hi I’m evil!” Then she’s all about kidnapping America Chavez.
If people hadn’t seen Wandavision they are going to be confused.
I do like Wanda as a villain. I thought she and Pietro were introduced way too early and wish Marvel had waited until Disney had acquired Fox. I never liked how she was supposed to be a teen (until Wandavision) Nothing can convince me that EO is a teenager.
If that was the end of Wanda then it was very underwhelming. If she isn’t dead then going forward is every appearance of her going to be her doing something because she’s hurt, realize she is in the wrong, correct it and disappear? Because that will get old. I wouldn’t mind if she’s a darker character or an anti hero/villain. Or just hope she is on your side.
I actually liked Christine in this movie. I had forgotten about her after the first Strange movie until What If. And I do like that they ultimately can’t be together because of circumstances? I think not getting the man/woman you want but being happy for them and moving on is a very powerful message and we need to see more of this. (Side eyes another character)
That said, Strangewong. Strangewong can work.
Mordo was very hot in this movie. Men with long hair are my weakness.
I loved America Chavez and I can’t wait to watch her going forward. I know there were issues with the casting and I wish they hired and AfroLatina. The character herself as she was written I loved.
Enjoyed zombie Strange. It was just so weird and out there.
The Illumanati... what was the point of them? They are in the movie for five minutes and they all just die.
I wanted to see Mr. Fantastic do something. Instead he just stood there and died. Did he ever stretch? Where were the other Fantastic Four?
Black Bolt, they just kill him off in a gory way. I wanted to at least see some redemption for the Inhumans TV show but nope. The should have just continued to pretend that one didn’t exist.
Captain Carter... lasted way longer than she should have. Its like Wanda forgot how powerful she was when she went up against her. The I can do this all day line followed immediately with her death felt like something out of a parody. I was waiting for a laugh track after she was hit with her shield. If they decide she didn’t die, then I guess she couldn’t do it all day.
Maria... should have lasted longer. We could have gotten a cool fight between Maria and Wanda settling the who is stronger? Maria went down way too easily. But she totally could have survived that so I’m gonna pretend she’s still alive.
Prof X actually had a role. I hated seeing him die on screen. This better not be them symbolically killing the Fox verse.
I liked how they stopped Wanda. She’s still the strongest and America had to convince her to stop fighting.
Wanda was trying to find a new version of her kids in the multiverse, what about Vision? Where is White Vision?
Final verdict? The movie kept my attention but it’s one I don’t necessarily want to see again? It was fun to watch once.

This whole Chrissy x Eddie thing with the antis is so ridiculous. It’s just the same with freaking Sylki, all the hypocrisy when nine times out of ten people have no problem shipping Wanda with an actual synthetic being lol (not to say I hate Wanda x Vision, I love them) I just think people are really trying to justify being bullies tbh. Just let people enjoy FICTION. God it’s not that hard. I hope you’re doing well drudging through the bullshit lol seriously have a good day 💕
God I know, I ship sylki too 😭 I went from one “controversial” ship straight to another. I need to catch myself a break and ship something popular and “unproblematic” because at the end of the day no matter what the popular ship is always the “unproblematic” one.
But thank you, despite the shit in the fandom which in the grand scheme of things is insignificant, I’ve had a good day and that’s what’s important. I hope you’ve had a good day as well! 💜

Something that really bothers me about the popularity of M/C/U Wanda, and the success of WV & DSMOM, is that a lot of the people who really like these things are people who claim to actually get something validating, or cathartic, or empowering out of them. I'm glad that people are finding some value in all this, because I love superhero media in spite its many, many flaws, and I think there is a lot of potential in these stories.
Here's the thing you have to understand, though. Whatever resonance or representation you find in the Scarlet Witch is resonance and representation that people like me, Romani people, have been denied. That might mean nothing to you, but it's about more than just "representation." It's also about the fact that M/C/U fans mobilize to direct hate speech and harassment towards real Romani individuals whenever we speak up about this. It's about the fact that both X-Men and Avengers franchises have perpetuated Holocaust distortion and the historical erasure of Romani genocide. It's also about the fact that anti-Romani and antisemitic tropes in popular fiction do cause material harm in the real world, and these films use the Scarlet Witch character to perpetuate both.
I've seen (white) women wax poetic about how WV & DSMOM explore trauma, grief, and motherhood. I've seen a LOT of gay people relate to Wanda as someone who is ostracized and vilified by the everyone around her. LGBT comic readers (and industry pros) also flocked to Wanda*Vision to see Billy and Tommy, young characters who grow up to become gay and bisexual men in the source material.
Everybody is having a great time loving these characters, whether they connect to the pathos, or they're excited about the prospect of further LGBT representation, but WE don't get to enjoy that with you. I had a conversation last year with an illustrator who works for Marvel Comics. He was talking about how refreshing and, in a way, healing it was to see Billy and Tommy as young children, because gay people are not usually represented in that stage of life, and it often feels like our childhood is taken away from us. I had to tell this guy that I'm also gay, and I would like to be able to feel represented in this way, too, but I'm also Romani. That representation has been taken away from me. It's been taken away from LGBT Jewish people, too. Instead of getting to enjoy these characters, I just have to deal with the racist fanbase. Your enjoyment of this comes at our expense.

I saw this post on YouTube and shared my thoughts on it. Let's discuss it, shall we?
I would mostly agree with this statement. There isn't a doubt in my mind that the Darkhold corrupted Wanda in the first place. As another commenter here said, Wanda and the Scarlet Witch are two separate beings. Strange himself makes this comment early on in the movie, when he says, "Wanda's gone." I could see the Darkhold essentially putting the blinders on Wanda in the sense where it made her hyper-focused on the grief of losing her sons. We could take a look at this from a "mother bear" mentality. A mother would already do anything for her children, Wanda clearly being no exception. When a mother's child is threatened or a child goes missing, the maternal instincts kick in and a parent will stop at nothing to protect or save the child. You add this mindset to the corruption of the Darkhold and you're just asking for trouble. 
Now, I haven't read the comics, but from my understanding based off of this film alone, the Darkhold appeared to amplify the emotion which would allow the magic wielder to exact the most destruction and chaos (namely, chaos magic) -- in this case grief and maternal instincts.
When she noticed Billy and Tommy at the end of the film, that broke the hold the Darkhold had for just a fraction of a second -- allowing the REAL Wanda personality- which we had at the end of WV- to reappear. In my personal opinion, the scene with Xavier and 838 Wanda in the rubble is a great symbolic nod to the current situation with 616 Wanda. Since her use of the Darkhold, Wanda (our real Wanda) is trapped in her own mind and held hostage by the Scarlet Witch. In all honesty, when we saw the tv with the WV show next to the rubble, I thought that X was trying to communicate with our Wanda. It now makes me wonder if the WV storyline took place in 838 as well or if there's something else there.
All of this being said, I think majority of viewers feel like MoM was a pretty bad attempt to "retcon" the ending of WandaVision in order to turn Wanda into an antagonist or anti-hero. The end of the D+ show depicted Wanda finally getting over or accepting the loss of Vision after Infinity War and Endgame. It was a beautiful ending and I thought it was well done. Fast forward to the credits, we see Wanda at the cabin in the mountain (completely different location from where she was in MoM, if I remember right). My personal theory is Wanda potentially wanted to learn more about her abilities, unaware that the Darkhold corrupts, because if you remember she never thought she used magic or knew much about magic (aside for her quick pick-up of using runes). Thinking of how "curiosity killed the cat," her initially innocent perusal through this magic text caused her to become trapped and overtaken by the Scarlet Witch persona. 
Personally speaking, I'm undecided on my position of Wanda's portrayal in this film. I mean, don't get me wrong here, I liked MoM as a standalone. It had some great opportunities for different scenes. It just...didn't really fit with the main MCU canon (aside from Stephen's relationship to Christine). I would have liked to see more Stephen within a movie titled "Doctor Strange," but I can't complain too much because it is new content and I won't bite the Marvel exec hands that feed me new fiction/edit material.
Quick side note; as I'm writing this, I took a quick look back at the end-credit scene in WV. I can't tell if the Scarlet Witch we see in the back room is an astral projection. I initially assumed so, but given the fact that we haven't seen anyone move in their physical form which being astral projected (aside from Spiderman, which Strange himself already claimed was impossible)...is it possible that whole cabin scene was just Wanda practicing with a Hex? Does anyone have any thoughts on that?

are the avengers cops? how does any of this works comics are so confusing
Tumblr media
are the avengers cops ; no. at least, not originally, and not really until 9/11, but then I would argue that the majority of superhero teams including the xmen have fed into propaganda for the military since 9/11. before that though, the avengers were really not cops; they all actively hate and resent the government agent henry gyrich who is supposed to be their overseer, i mean, vision, Wanda, Beast, and im pretty sure sam all physically wanted to beat the shit out of him. in one issue of the avengers, beast says to simon williams while flying to help some russian people "there's no american before our name". Vision was often used to discuss minority politics under comics code authority, as was Wanda.
after 9/11, they have become much more militarised, I'll admit that, but again, I'd argue that also applies to the Justice League or anyone else. But that definitely isn't reflective of the Avengers as a whole and dismissing them as cops or feds is just dumb because various avengers characters have actively had stories about the corruption of the military and the police force and police violence or police apathy; similarly, the xmen became cops during x-treme x-men, so you can't really claim one team to be one way and make excuses for another.
And yeah, it's a problem... I don't want to say it's exclusive to xmen fans but I'll be honest, I haven't seen comic Avengers fans or comic FF fans or comic GOTG or Inhumans or whatever fans act the same way in the same volume; you might get the odd person making fun of the X-Men but they are few and in between. And I like the X-Men; Armando Muñoz is one of my fave characters who I am constantly starved for content of, and Ororo and Kurt and the rest go without saying as being great characters. But there's just this weird like... inate anger towards the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, for some reason and I don't know why? I mean, I mostly blame those podcasts ( you know who ) who constantly make excuses for like... bodysnatcher betsy but the avengers all get painted with the cop brush and are just not discussed unless to clown on them. Which is fine, but then dont act like you have zero influence on fandom perceptions of these characters 😭
Anyway, genuinely, there should be more willingness to be just apathetic. Like, if you haven't read the FF, you can just say oh , they're not my thing, you don't need to talk about how Reed Richards is anti-mutant and a cop and has personally murdered your mother, like cmon 😭 again, I'm sure fans of other comic teams are also guilty of this, but it is by large a phenomenon in x-men circles and it's annoying because it kind of keeps me from reaching out to other fans, like I actually LIKE these guys but if you're also telling me how much these other characters that I'm really passionate about suck ass then I don't want to interact with you! I stop feeling passionate about these characters because I feel like everyone who likes them vehemently hates the other guys I'm into! It's just disheartening a lot of the time for people with eggs in more than one basket I think.
But there are plenty comic communities that are okay, I mean, I'm having a pretty good time on the small ant-man fandom! By nature of how divisive Hank is, a lot of people are already used to people having other opinions so it's mostly chill, and there are a few discords I'm part of that are nice and chill! It's just sort of hard to find them, especially on twitter, beyond like, a few FF fans and the very small comic Scarletvision fandom everyone there is so aggressive it's not a fun time 😭 keep searching tho anon, there are good communities out there! Just hard to find through the qrts of the official marvel account sudjdndbhffh
