Is Wanda’s plot going to be all around Vision? Did not she have a brother who died? Why MCU forgot her brother ??

I talked about that a bit here, too.

I assume it’s also going to about her realizing her powers and what that means for her as a person. That’s what the Russos have said her journey is about. So far her footage frames her in a protective role, she has a plenty good reason to develop and expand her powers.

As far as Pietro–that story wrapped up with Ultron. His death was the final piece of Wanda’s narrative redemption. Besides Marvel Studios not wanting to deal with two Quicksilvers, Wanda’s character and relationships would be difficult to develop if he were still alive. Wanda had only 10 minutes of screentime (including non-speaking) in CW–a sizable chunk of that would have gone with Pietro, and that’s not the story they wanted to tell.

This is true of the comics too. To my recollection, Wanda and Pietro haven’t been on an ongoing together since a little after their Kooky Quartet days. They’ve had story arcs together, but not as ongoing teammates.

And as far as an in-universe reason goes:

  1. By Infinity War it’s been 3-4 years.
  2. People won’t talk about their dead loved ones to others who didn’t know them, and the Avengers didn’t really.
  3. Again, Wanda doesn’t have that much screentime. Not a lot of space for her to bring up her dead brother.

Pietro may end up featuring in Wanda’s story in some capacity. But it wouldn’t be surprising to me at all if he won’t, and it would be a screenwriting mistake to bring him up beyond a short, meaningful mention unless they plan on it.

Really hope Jim Zubb can improve Champions after these last few lackluster issues.

I’m mostly not very engaged with the direction Viv was taken. King’s Vision ends with Viv excited to explore the world as she is. Hopeful and happy, despite everything.

This is honestly a pretty big departure and refreshing taking on robotic/synthetic characters (that don’t look outwardly human) in media. So, Viv’s whole “beep-boop what is this thing you call love?” thing doesn’t do it for me.

So far, Zub does seem to want to stay consistent with the most recent runs of characters he is working with. I don’t always agree with the interpretation he’s carrying forward but I think it’s a perfectly respectable choice to make. So I think he’s very likely to keep Viv on the same path Waid has, which is one I’m not terribly interested in.

I’m still on hiatus but I had a horrible thought and you need to have it too.

So this is definitely Vision pleading with Wanda to go right? Thanos is coming, the Avengers and co. couldn’t stop him, and she should save herself.

But there’s no way Wanda is okay with walking away, letting him die so she can live.

And of them–who truly has the power to stop the other?

So Vision, desperate for Wanda to live, is going to go forward, meet Thanos, and be destroyed.

But Wanda already knows that’s not going to happen. She already knows what she has to do. She takes control of the Mind Stone, and Vision is helpless to stop her. She steps forward.
