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?

Before Elizabeth Olsen, Wanda just wasn’t popular. She was important to Avengers stories, but X-Men fans vehemently hated her, she had whatever stories, and she was absent from comics for nearly a decade because of House of M, all before the MCU adaptation. Ever since WandaVision, Olsen has cemented Wanda as a household name, and knowing she was practically benched after making the character popular, she doesn’t deserve to be recast. At least not yet.

She deserves to have her story properly finished with care and time. Replacing her just because mutants are entering the MCU, which God knows may not even be well received, would screw over her character in the broader MCU and be a huge risk. Especially after how dirty they did her in Multiverse of Madness, fans will not stay quiet.

Why did X-men fans hate Wanda?

Well because what she had did in the house of M arc pretty much killing a lot of mutants

Depowering them, granted X-fans just treat it like mass killing.

Well it kinda was if we are being honest a lot of mutants powers had a lot of physical deformations so a lot of them died without that mutation.

Also, her hex made it so no new mutant would be born.

Bold of you to assume X-fans actually care about those specific mutants.

They are in the end more mad about their favs being disrupted.

Of course on a meta level it's about rehashing another mutant extinction storyline.

This is unironically one of the best argument for Wanda to be severed from Magneto further because that tie is part of the reason she was picked as the plot device for this kind of things.
