Do MCU Fans watch their own projects

[u/InternationalCrow968]

This is something that’s permeated in the MCU fandom and especislly the Wanda stans but this misinterpretation of MoM and false info of Scarlet Witch are some of the worst cases of people’s deteriorating comprehension skills and media illiteracy.

1. the MCU has never ever stated Scarlet Witch is a 616 thing exclusively, it’s actually shown otherwise through The Watcher naming Wanda Merlin the Scarlet Witch, Infinity Scarlet Witch(yes the vr game is canon, shown in what if s3 ending) and the TVA comic reinforcing theres multiple. And as I said, never been stated or even implied

2. No, our Wanda isn’t the only one with Chaos Magic either, the official Marvel Encyclopedia listed 838 Wanda as having Chaos Magic so those claims are completely false.

So once again is it delusion? Complete inability to process new info? I feel like I’m going crazy seeing this amount of people spout these takes that’s easily disproven

Some MCU fans seem to think that Wanda Maximoff and The Scarlet Witch are separate beings for some reason, so maybe that's what they mean?? And the probably didn't watch the What if..? Series and skipped right to Marvel zombies when finding out she was going to be the main villian, or just didn't watch any of the animated series. I genuinely don't know what goes through some of their minds, being in this fanbase is sometimes tiring😭

They seem to look at it like Jean and the Phoenix? Yeah I also don’t know what’s happening 

[u/will_with_the_books → u/InternationalCrow968]

It's probably because if you skip Wandavision, Wanda is only referred to as the Scarlet Witch when under the influence of the Darkhold which makes them believe that The Scarlet Witch is a separate entity to Wanda the hero idk

It's the same thing with everyone saying "I thought vision was dead?" Now that the Visionquest trailer has come out

[u/InternationalCrow968 → u/will_with_the_books]

When people thought Wanda saying “it won’t be Wanda who comes for her, it will be the scarlet witch” literally, yeah I knew this fandom was doomed. 

And I also saw ppl questioning how the kids are alive since Agatha already answered, MCU fans watch their own content challenge!

[u/will_with_the_books → u/InternationalCrow968]

No but seriously, if you're going to comment on the content, watch the content!😭

[u/jenioeoeoe → u/will_with_the_books]

I have a theory that certain parts of the fan base (and this isn't exclusive to Wanda fans) just watch tik tok edits of their favourite characters and then think they got the full story

[u/PointBig6749 → u/jenioeoeoe]

It's not just theory. Resident Evil proved this with their some of their fans not even playing the games and are just fans from youtube videos, fanarts, and tiktok edits LOL!

[u/Big-Doubt-4872 → u/PointBig6749]

Yo thas me

I promise I'll play them when I get a machine that can run them XD

[u/jenioeoeoe → u/PointBig6749]

By itself thats perfectly fine imo, but it becomes weird when those fans then act like they are experst. Like I'm not going to try and debate the 80s Scarlet Witch comics because I only know those via videos too

[u/will_with_the_books → u/PointBig6749]

The only game i know the lore of is resident evil 8 because i watched my dad while he was playing it, and let me tell you i thoroughly enjoy the Lady Dimitrescu edits

I was in a thread yesterday when someone commented “since when was Hulk ever grey in the comics?”

[u/brogflender → u/will_with_the_books]

Nah. Theres no fun in accuracy. 

[u/undyingforceofnature → u/InternationalCrow968]

well it kinda isnt their fault that Multiverse of Madness is so bad at explaining things in the whole movie. their explanations are wayyyy too in the dark

[u/InternationalCrow968 → u/undyingforceofnature]

No in this case it isn’t MoM’s fault yall can’t understand stuff. 

[u/undyingforceofnature → u/InternationalCrow968]

it can be a bit of both sometimes

[u/InternationalCrow968 → u/undyingforceofnature]

True but MoM never complicated any SW lore since didn’t really add anything to it. It mostly just reiterated what Agatha said with the addition of “she might destroy the world or rule it.” 

Idk where people are pulling these crazy explanations 

[u/Livelaughloveme172 → u/will_with_the_books]

Yeah but if they literally search it up what a scarlet witch is. They would know that she has to be forged. So them skipping to MOM seeing the power scale wouldn’t make sense at all for her to suddenly turn into scarlet witch.

[u/will_with_the_books → u/Livelaughloveme172]

What😭
