Aside from people giving Peter Quill shit for his actions in Infinity War (which annoys me since his actions were completely understandable and human), I don’t get so much blame being leveled against Wanda for what happened. I’ve seen a lot of posts talking shit about her (things to the effect of ”She was willing to let half the universe die for an overblown toaster!”), but… was it just Wanda? No. 

Almost everyone was on board with stalling: Steve and Bruce specifically and vocally disagreed with killing Vision. No one protested the plan to take Vision to Wakanda to fix him. T’Challa opened up the doors to Wakanda, so clearly he agreed on some level. Shuri was on board with the actual operation. Not one person aside from Vision was on Team “Hey, Let’s Destroy the Mind Stone Now”. 

So why criticize only Wanda for this? If people want to throw Wanda under the bus for waiting too long to destroy the Mind Stone, they should also throw every other person who agreed with Wanda under the bus too. At least Wanda had a good reason for not wanting Vision dead. She was in love with him. 

This fandom has a weird habit of picking and choosing certain characters to target with their ire while ignoring the complicity of their own personal faves or outright ignoring the less-than-stellar actions of them. Like damn.

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.
