I want Wanda and Vision to be like in the comics because I want to see the critics pointing out how abusive this couple is. It will be a fun ride!

I encourage anyone to think critically of the media they consume.

There is no A- or B-list comic book character more than 5 years old that doesn’t have something that many people will find off-putting. There’s no ongoing comic book more than 10 years old that hasn’t gone through rough, perhaps even distasteful, stages.

For some, that might make it difficult to enjoy the medium. I really understand. I’ve gone through years where I drop some of my favorite stories and characters because they’re being handled in a way that makes me unhappy. In order for me to enjoy them again I have to make a conscious decision to accept how they were written but decide it won’t define the character to me. Every comic book fan does.

So for me, I don’t find Wanda and Vision’s relationship (roughly 1970-2002) in the comics abusive. On rare occasions it could be uncomfortable, but it was consistently written positively in my opinion. Post 2002 there are many moments I do not like that arise from both of them. I made a decision to accept this and not let those moments ruin the enjoyment of what I liked.

As for wanting the MCU couple to play out in a way you determine is abusive–if their comic book relationship makes you this angry, and eager for the negative cultural impact of seeing one of the biggest movie events of all time glorify abuse, you should step back. Being invested in hate over a comic book relationship isn’t worth it.

Okay, but imagine how hard it is to be a Historian within the Marvel Universe

magistrate-of-mediocrity:

Magneto: But Wanda! I really -am- you father!
Wanda: B-but that’s impossible! The High Evolutionary said–
Magneto: He only knows half of the story! I stole you back from the High Evolutionary and replaced you with clones from another timeline who are long dead and will in no way come back to confuse things further.
Historian: *furiously erasing everything in a notebook* Oh for fuck sake.

“Their transparent lust for one another is so flagrant that it’s almost entertaining.”

So… Is this supposed to be Chthon’s secret love for Vision finally coming out? The panels seem to indicate it’s coming from Wanda, but why would Chthon act on Wanda’s feelings?

10:1 this is because of the movies though. They even dressed her in MCU Wanda’s style.

@those-celestial-bodies​ @androidavenger​ Is this something about Secret Empire?? what is going on?!

It’s from the Avengers #10 preview. http://www.cbr.com/exclusive-preview-avengers-10/

This is the first time we’ve seen any hint of personality from either of them. Prior to this they’ve been both silent props in the background, except where Chthon spoke through Wanda.

Yet here it seems to indicate that some of their personalities are intact. I can’t imagine why Chthon would take the time to personally make out with Vision and then some in the Quinjet or why HYDRA installed a “use your vibration settings” mode in Vision.

But this issue is being written by Mark Waid, not Nick Spencer, which may account for some of the differences. Or the higher ups recently mandated they need to get back together because of the movies.
