Why can't Wanda just meet a guy and have kids the normal way?


I mean that is an option, shes a very hot woman, she could have any guy she wanted, get pregnant and have kids. Yet she acts as if she must have the fake kids she made up, and go into another Universe and kill her other self and take over as their mother.

Bitch just go meet a guy, get pregnant eventually and you can be a real mother, no need to jump into other universes and kill someone to have it.

Or keep hopping universes until she finds one where Vision is not only alive, but fertile!

Have the kids she wants the old-fashioned way there.

I agree with you OP, it’s called common sense, unfortunately that’s not allowed in this day, and age. If Wanda did the logical, and smart thing, we wouldn’t have a movie.

reply

You will understand once you grow up and have your own kids. If they suddenly disappeared you would try to get them back, not just have some replacement kids.

I don't think this is just a case of someone too young to see the emotional significance. There is a widespread tendency to treat genre movies in this way. There's a distancing from the drama. I call it "gaming the film" and what I mean by that is that folks treat the whole thing not like a drama with fantasy elements but like a game. Characters are expected to choose optimal solutions at all times and generally behave like puppets of audience expectation. This always comes up in horror movies, where characters are mocked for perfectly understandable things like being terrified into inaction or being reluctant to shoot a loved one in the head when they are OBVIOUSLY turning into a zombie.

Lol she made them up outta thin air and they vanished when her spell did, its not like kids she legit gave birth to and raised, it was all fake.

If Wanda actually gave birth to them and raised them for years i'd get wanting them back, but ffs they wasn't real.

Yeah. She should have tried making up some real ones, out of sperm and egg this time.

reply

She wants her children, not some other kids.

reply

She never had children, they were fake.

reply

She doesn't have children. Never did.

reply

She wanted kids that belonged to a different Wanda.

reply

She wasn't thinking rationally. In her mind her kids were real and she was looking for the same children across the multiverse.

reply

I don't think she was searching, I think the darkhold did, and used that to seduce her.

As powerful as Wanda is, it would take infinite amount of time to find an universe to have the exact same kids. Also Wanda did not know about multiverse, did not know there was that option, until darkhold showed her.

reply


Remember the final post-credits scene of "WandaVision" -- she's reading the Darkhold and hearing her kids calling to her.

Only now we know that the Darkhold itself was progressively corrupting her the more she read it. The cries of her kids were likely figments of her own, tortured imagination, or possibly coming from the Darkhold itself.

Her rationale for killing America, that her kids might need multiverse-hopping medical care, was pure BS; she was either lying to Wong or to herself.

Bottom line: she NEVER wanted kids, the normal way or abnormal way. She was driven by the Darkhold to fulfill her destiny as the Scarlet Witch.

In the end, she just wanted power. Luckily, she realized it in time to stop herself.

I don't think that was true. Remember darkhold was destroyed right in front of her. Whatever spell she was under should have been broken.

When in the forbidden ground, the demon's temple, when she acquired the true darkhold, she would have fulfilled her destiny, if that were her real desire, but she did not. It was in there she destroyed the darkhold and killed herself.

So darkhold was definitely affecting her, but in the end it was her desire to be with her kids, and that was how darkhold affected her, once that hope was lost the darkhold outlived it's usefulness.

So I think your theory is a bit of stretch.

Since Wanda loves being a mother so much. In the script where Strange meet up with Wanda asking for her help, they should have wrote him saying if she consider adoption? 😂

reply

She was not barren, at least that was not mentioned. Adoption was usually the option because of that.

Also she was adopting, just not letting the kids know that, it would be a seamless switch. She would probably banish the original mother to another universe, with Chávez's power.

So Chávez's power is the key in any case.

To think of it countless have died for the girl. I am sure countless more will die to take that power from her in future. Until she becomes sorcerer supreme, I think that was planned for her, though it does not seem to be in the comic books.

Taking her power would not be just for medical care of Wanda's kids, would also make sure Wanda was not disturbed by unwanted visitors. I think Darkhold has to be destroyed either way afterwards, to make sure nobody could dream walk into her, since the real darkhold was in a different universe.

reply

Because they were going for the strong independent woman angle, one that doesn't need a man in her life to complete it.

reply

Previously, she wanted her husband back, too. Suddenly, he's not important. It's bad writing.

reply

Because no one in Marvel gets to have a normal relationship. It is known.
