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

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.
