More so than that, why are we supposed to empathize with Wanda again?
Didn't she ENSLAVE an entire town?
I'm sorry but everyone lost family members before, during and after the blip.
Contrary to what Dr. Strange says, she is not justified or in the right to "show her emotions". She's killing innocent people left and right coz "muh fake children". Writers couldn't do a better motivation for the antagonist?
Also No, it wasn't just the Darkhold corrupting her that made her sociopathic, the Wanda Vision show had her ENSLAVE people before she got the Darkhold. The show, which Disney clearly wants to setup as some cross channel intro to the movie.
You can't both have it both ways, you can't treat a character with kid gloves and also make them an antagonist.
Also, the film was littered with Strange always misusing the Darkhold to "save the world". As if to show that he's definitely bad but the weirdo who wants to torture a kid into giving her powers is somehow justified, yeah right.
Also, what was Strange's arc again? "Muh girl left me, so I'm depressed and pining for her and have to live without her"? Didn't he know this in the very beginning? Or is it some weird feminist power fantasy to see a guy be left a wreck after breakup?
