Mama Widow taught her well.
Now I know I wasn’t the only one thinking that they have a mother-daughter relation ship. Now Natasha almost freaking out when she sees Vision’s lifeless body hurts even more. She saw the body and Wanda wasn’t there…she saw the others turning to dust, Wanda just let herself go without saying a word #Feels
Hey people with the “Okoye was willing to kill her husband but Wanda won’t kill Vision” hot take
Okoye is also supporting the plan to try and save Vision. She also doesn’t think an innocent woman has to kill an innocent man when there’s an alternate solution. She recognizes the difference between that situation and the one with a traitor to her country who was trying to help kill the royal family and take over the world.
Wanda: I wasn’t that drunk last night.
Natasha: Yes you were. You were flirting with Vision.
Wanda: So what? He’s my husband.
Natasha: You asked him if he was single
Natasha: And then cried when he said he wasn’t.
I wish that the writers of Infinity War had shifted the timeline of the moral crisis with Vision somewhat.
I think that introducing the idea that Wanda could destroy the Mind Stone and then have her refuse the option (even just as an emotional reflex) primed some of the audience against the decision to go to Wakanda. While I have talked extensively on the importance of this decision and why some extra consideration should be made, it’s always going to be really hard to hear the stakes are ‘half of all life’ and have sympathy for people debating the value of a single one.
Instead, I wish the writers had introduced the idea of extracting the Mind Stone to hide it first. Bruce could mention that he and Tony’s research in Age of Ultron showed no energy on Earth could destroy it; Steve could mention Wakanda having the tech to extract it.
Then, at Wakanda while Shuri is investigating, have Vision say exactly what he originally said in IW: he’s done some analyzing and figured out the type of energy Wanda’s power is could destroy the Stone.
Now the decision to destroy Vision stands on equal footing to the possibility of saving him. Now we have time to focus a bit on the Wakandans feelings (who, in the original movie do clearly support the idea of trying to save Vision but seem more passive in the decision), to more clearly establish they are on board with saving him.
It also would have strengthened the parallel between Thanos’ experience with his people and the Avengers with Vision. On Titan, the option to kill half of everyone wouldn’t have come before the various solutions they would have attempted to fix overpopulation. That would have been introduced later, only to be dismissed while prior solutions were still attempted.
The movie can continue exactly as before, but I think the audience would have had more time to process the choices, to sympathize and engage, instead of reflexively objecting to it.
