"You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Joan Crawford is dead. Good.” —Bette Davis

I think that they're not so much saying Wanda is a mutant, as some prophesied witch whose powers work differently from the way they do for other people, more instinctively without years of occult scholarship or an organized framework of spells. (Note that Agatha's runes did work to suppress Wanda's power, which I don't think they would have against, say, Iron Man's weaponry or Captain America's strength.)

Dr. Strange established that sorcerers are drawing energies from other dimensions to cast their spells. I suspect the Mind Stone opened up Wanda's ability to do so without the training normally necessary, and she's sucking in massive amounts of power from a potentially sinister or destructive source that she knows even less about than Kaecillius and his zealots knew about Dormammu.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

And was he actively trying to traumatize her by showing her Vision's body? Trying to trigger an explosion of her powers?

This is my question as well, and even if he wasn't, that was the equivalent of showing her a loved one's autopsy. And he did put the idea in her head that she could reanimate Vision, which is not something she knew she was capable of doing.

Yeah, his words and manner with Wanda seemed sympathetic, but letting her see Vision dissected like that without any preparation was clearly intended to provoke a reaction.

Hope he gets swallowed up by the Hex and turned into a weasel or snake in the final episode.

All is well that ends in pizza.

There are White Vision and Agatha [link] funky pops.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

Hope he gets swallowed up by the Hex and turned into a weasel or snake in the final episode.

If the circus is still around, a handy cannon is right there . . . .

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well

My immediate reaction is that I think that was good and they made good narrative choices etc but that was not the ending that serves me best this morning. Wil let it simmer a while before I react any more, I think.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I think that my only solid reaction at this point is that I wanted the ME monster to appear and say "I need a hug" at the end. I still do.

Edited: tried to do something that might have required spoiler font, but I'm apparently too tired for basic HTML right now so will be posted later.
