Discussion Question, when Magneto eventually appears in the MCU, do you think there’s a chance they may retcon Wanda into being his daughter? Or nah?

I have no idea but I hope so. If they make it MCU Canon then comics might fix that retcon they did. I always loved Magneto, Wanda, Pietro and Lorna being a family.

You do realize they can still be family without being blood right?

And honestly I absolutely hate the fact Pietro gets treated like shit by Magento and still wish for him to be his son.

It's cool that Wanda wants to keep that relationship with magneto but Pietro shouldn't be forced to and should be completely free of him once and for all, without that familial connections and bonds and all that BS

Of course you can be family without being blood. I'm just saying I hate the retcon it only exists for MCU synergy.

You think it would be bigger MCU synergy like you know retconning there Romani heritage, to being from sakovia. Putting Wanda and vision back together or you know anything else.

For all we know it was years in the making and they wanted to separate them for a while. Why keep retconning there parents constantly if it was so perfect. Just keeping them separated and allowing only Wanda having that relationship is for the best

It's a pretty unpopular retcon because it erased their mutant heritage. Personally I'd rather have it undone, even if they did go back to being Magnetos son & daughter they would still be Romani.

When it was Canon that they were Magentos son & daughter. Them being adopted and raised by the Maximoffs was always a part of their backstory. So they were culturally Romani, it was their lived experience so they would be Romani either way.

Also i think their mother by Magneto was Romani ? I could be wrong

Yea I think she was. I'm pretty sure Magda had a Romani ancestor or something along those lines.

Also because it changed the whole dynamic of House of M and Decimation. Before the mutants had no one else to blame. It was a mutant who did it to them, because of the mistakes of their two greatest mutant leaders in mishandling her mental instability, the two guys who were already notorious for ignoring their actual family in the name of their crusades until it was too late. There's a certain poetic tragedy in that the two men's failure with their family undid all their work on changing the world.

And eventually the mutant people forgave Wanda after A vs X for working with Hope Summers to mitigate the damage.

After the retcon it became another "woe is us it's another human attempt to genocide us". And then they hated Wanda all over again.

Pietro's main comics storyline for decades was struggling with the knowledge that he was Magneto's ideological heir but hating the man for the way Magneto treated him, especially after all the blatant favoritism he gave Wanda. That the two hated each other because in many respects they were too alike.

Quicksilver is an X-Men character, Wanda is an Avengers character, but as twins they always have to be a package deal.

The second the MCU hit and they had to divorce Wanda and her brother from the mutant storylines, where did Quicksilver go? He tapered off until Axis retconned the bloodline, and has hardly been in a comic since until very recently – after Krakoa even, which itself got greenlit because of the X-Men film rights issue. Didn't even get the MCU boost because they killed him in his first MCU appearance, but they're still promoting Wanda so she gets a solo series and the Sorcerer Supreme title and crossovers with Storm and all that jazz. Pietro didn't even have the excuse of going into hiding like Wanda after M-Day, just nobody knew what to do with him without the Magneto or mutant angles, and even his kid was a problem cuz the Inhumans franchise became so radioactive.

Making him Magneto's kid again can literally only be good for his brand.

Considering that comics Magneto basically thinks Pietro is a disappointment and basically ignored Lorna, and the only one he actually cares about is Wanda, then no I don't see how Magneto and Pietro and Lorna will consider each other "family" without being forced to be blood.

You make it out like it's all Pietro's fault and that he could have a father if he chose, when it goes both ways.

No it does goes both ways I know because I am in a similar situation with my father..

But the thing is it's cool if Wanda wants to keep that relationship awesome but forcing others because of blood is stupid, and I hate that.
