Public opinion about Wanda has definitely changed in a very short time in the MCU. Wanda’s actions were detrimental to so many lives, and were followed by a villain Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. These actions were twisted, but they do not completely take away from the good that the hero did in the universe. Still, it is quite difficult to divorce her actions from her past.
Why Scarlet Witch does and does not deserve her ruined reputation
Wanda Maximoff has been a complex character in the MCU
Scarlet Witch spent many years saving the world and deserves to have a better reputation than this. Her actions were driven by terrible pain after losing the only person she loved. After the loss of her parents as a child, then the loss of her brother, then the loss of vision, Her act of putting a hex on Westview made her a villain in many eyes. But Wanda herself is a victim, and these horrible actions came out of her pain.

It is hard to argue that Wanda does not deserve her ruined reputation, because her actions were very harmful to many people. Still, the hero has had a long and complicated history in the MCU, and it’s not just defined by its actions. Much of Wanda’s history, of the Avengers films to Captain America: Civil WarPoints to a complex figure in the Marvel Universe. This culminates in disappointment that the character has disappeared from the universe.
Marvel needs to bring back Scarlet Witch to fix her reputation
Wanda’s Heelturn was effective but tried to undo too much
Scarlet Witch did a lot of good in addition to all the bad, but unlike Iron Man – whose memorials were everywhere in Spider-Man: Far From Home – It seems that the MCU has forgotten its importance to the events of the Avengers movies and that she was necessary to defeat Thanos. The character also destroys the Darkhold, which helps save the entire multiverse. While certain moments of darkness cannot be ignored, the character was also an essential part of keeping the world safe. With Scarlet Witch’s status in the MCU, there’s more to explore.
Given all the speculation about Wanda’s return in Agatha all alongIt’s clear that audiences want more from the character. Wanda’s death gave her a very compelling story in the MCU, but the character still has much more to tell. The end of Wanda’s journey with her as a villain seems to contradict much of what has been known about the character thus far. It is essential that Marvel bring back the Scarlet Witch to rehabilitate her image.
