In the Jeweler story, is Sokovia still destroyed? Or did Wanda just move away? Sorry if you have plans to share those thoughts later but it would kind of change some HC ideas I was gonna send depending on that little backstory, you know? Lol
Gotcha gotcha
It'll be mentioned here and there, but I dunno that I planned a formal backstory explanation, so I can go into this if you guys want.
In this universe, there's no real powers, obvi, so Sokovia wouldn't be destroyed. No highly intelligent robot is gonna plan to pick it up and disintegrate it at the very least T-T
For now and to keep it brief, Sokovia is still around as a small country that's gone through war and socioeconomic struggles. Wanda left Sokovia with Pietro at twenty-two and emigrated to America for the reference records.
