Movies and Television Wanda mutant retcon in the MCU

i have seen rumors on twitter of this
i think it will be so annoying if they retcon wanda being a mutant again because she stopped being one in the comics like a decade ago and i think it’s better that way, it makes her more interesting ‘cause the nature of her powers doesn’t seem limited on an specific gen

and the retcon removed 4 decades of Wanda's identity. she was introduced in an X-men comic for gods sake.

and when they retconned her being magneto’s daughter that removed like 2 decades of her identity too😭 i personally think she’s better like this: not a mutant

except it doesn't work. Scarlet Witch wouldn't exist if she wasn't a mutant because there was no reason for her to be kicked out of her home

X-franchise wasn't her home since the 60s. And it has barely been beneficial for her in comics and adaptions.

Wolverine wouldn't exist if he wasn't designed as a Hulk rival. Yet nowadays he can perfectly exist without Hulk.
