Talk:Wanda Maximoff/@comment-28376163-20171001035702/@comment-27580884-20171106071912

I agree with everything  Astroarnav said, but I'll add that Wanda is a very human character in the movies, just like Steve/Captain America. She isn't a genius or a god, just a normal girl who wanted to fight what she percieved as injustice. And although she did become a hero, the cost of it was her brother. It makes her a very empathetic character.

Personally I always loved Wanda's family conflict--back before Marvel retconned it so that she wasn't Magneto's daughter. The struggle between her own desires, her father's goals, and her brother's loyalty to said father allowed for a great deal of depth. Admittedly she had been rather stupid at times--and it annoys me that she was never punished for some of the things she's done, like nearly exterminating the mutant race--but aside from stuff like that she's been a great character to explore.
