That did not sit too well with me, either. I hope it's addressed in some way next time we see her.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I saw a summary that was "the hero worked through her trauma and healed/the villain got away, and they were the same character", and - yeah. One woman of color who'd been wronged by Wanda offered sympathy, and that was her right, but the person who lingers in my mind is another woman of color who stood there, weeping and frightened and alone, who said "Tell my husband never to come back here". And Wanda silenced her, and everyone else who spoke up about being harmed by her actions. Sure, she stopped, and I agree with juliana's point that her continued presence would have prevented the work going forward, but Wanda got to just pull up the Hoodie of Sadness and walk out after all of that?
Hayward was an asshole, and a villain, and I am delighted that Darcy hit him with a funnel cake truck. That Marvel keeps making the people saying "There has to be a mechanism for accountability and redress when non-powered people are harmed" the bad guys ("Thunderbolt" Ross, anyone?) comes across as "Welp, this is complicated, and the audience likes the booms, so . . . ."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
WandaVision is taking place roughly 3-4 weeks after Endgame, based on Monica un-dusting and then Hawyard saying it took her only 3 weeks to return to SWORD. So the town of Westview was undoubtedly traumatized by the Snap, and then 3 weeks later got massively mind-controlled.
I said this after Infinity War, but Marvel got in WAY over its head in literally killing half the global population and then bringing them back. People are way too functional post-Endgame, in terms of the sheer psychological trauma. The limits of my suspension of disbelief apparently lie with psychological trauma.

Word, Steph. I am dissatisfied with the lack of accountability, or even really acknowledgement, especially when they had Monica say what she said: that went over the line, I thought.
And the only reason Wanda was forced to sacrifice her family to save the town was because she was the one who had put them all in that position to begin with. So Monica's statement about how the townspeople didn't understand was ridiculous on its face. Bad writing, forced sympathy for Wanda in the face of really bad behavior, however rationalized.

This is making me more excited for Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

But what *kind* of hat?
