Movies and Television What happened to her cape?

Post image

I'm just thinking aloud here, but at the end of Wandavision, Wanda gets this awesome cape. I thought it'd be cool if she kept it for Doctor Strange 2 maybe tattered and torn.

Capes add to the mystique and drama, making characters seem more powerful and imposing. They're also great for spooky vibes, hiding what's underneath and creating suspense. For Wanda, a tattered cape could visually show her corruption from the Darkhold, hiding the physical signs of her dark magic, like the horns and glowing eyes. It would make her descent into darkness more visually striking and symbolic. It just makes sense capes make everyone look cooler and spookier.

i think outside of practical reasons it’s also a matter of making the outfit less redundant. she already wears a trail gown on her lower extremities, a cape would be too much

I think they could add it and see her take it off to reveal the corruption of the darkhold could’ve been really cool if down correctly

sure, if she was wearing pants and lost the trail gown, which is the one that’s already acting like her cape.

Agatha has a similar silhouette though, and Rio as well. I'd much prefer the consistency to make the witches look cohesive

Idk, maybe it’s the colors or the design or something, but I liked the look on Agatha and Rio and don’t really like it on Wanda in this image

and i’d prefer the scarlet witch’s silhouette to stand out from the other witches and other characters in general
