I love Sharon Carter and think she was a great addition to the movies…but lets get real here, it is totally not okay to erase a Scarlet Witch from ALL group merch in favour of a character who wasn’t actually part of the main battle arc.
This is the big ‘versus’ team shot and you benched one of your starting line-up and brought in a cheerleader by mistake because you thought the ‘dress code’ was darks and darks…
…and no I’m not belittling Sharon and her involvement in Civil War. She’s a strong, capable woman who knows how to kick ass and when to lay down some sass, but in this analogy she’s not one of the players on the team, she’s the one on the sidelines cheering on her chosen team.
And it’s not just one or two items. Every ‘Team Cap’ piece of merch I find has Scarlet Witch completely gone with Sharon Carter flying into action instead.
…like this Civil War Activity/Sticker book…
Yep, that’s right…the team consists of Steve, Clint, Sam, Bucky…and Sharon
More Agent 13 Stickers…and still no Scarlet Witch…
Even an Agent 13 activity page!
I love Sharon…but how about you give Wanda some love instead of removing her from existence completely?
This is why Marvel fans have so little faith in you…because you remember the male heroes yet still believe the female characters are interchangeable and that no one will care as long as we have A girl there to represent.
It’s generally believed the marketing team has orders not to use her because of the rights being tied up with Fox. Contrary to popular belief, they can use her in marketing (and occasionally do), games, and cartoons, but Marvel has taken to not marketing any of the characters they do not fully own. This ban may possibly be finally lifting in some places, as it’s rumored we’ll be seeing the X-Men appear in some upcoming games.
