So is she a mutant or what? This is confusing. The last episode better explain things.

[colossusx]

i believe they're establishing that she is. agatha claims she did a spell to stop the stark bomb from going and that was long before she got to close to an infinity stone.

[ext_2796703]

That is what I’m thinking. I hope they’re aren’t just making her a witch. That would be boring.

[colossusx]

yeah i think they're establishing that actual witches need spells/incantations in order to do what they do

[lanrek]

here's a great article that breaks down how they're probably going to do her origin in the MCU: https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/wandavision-scarlet-witch-name-backstory

[Spoiler (click to open)]"In Robinson's retelling of her infanthood, Wanda and her twin brother, Pietro, were born with innate magical abilities but were kidnapped by the High Evolutionary - a mad scientist hell-bent on experimenting with evolutionary genetics - who augmented her powers. However, Wanda's latent aptitude for magic comes from her mother, her mother's mother, and a long line of witches and warlocks who don deep red capes and wield mystical powers that manifest as red, glowing auras

I really want her to be a mutant 😕

[colossusx]

no! they HAVE to make them magneto's kids again. they just gotta.

[lanrek]

haha I hope they do eventually! we will probably be left with a lot of unanswered questions by the end of the show and we won't get them until dr strange 2 and/or beyond :( so I wouldn't expect to have everything explained and wrapped up when wandavision ends unfortunately

[colossusx]

i was thinking about that the other day, it's gonna be a whole ass year until we see wanda again. very upsetting.

[Spoiler (click to open)]correction: the adult couple in the commercials are probably their REAL parents, not their adoptive parents. their adoptive parents were shown in the latest episode

[babarsuhail]

yeah, this is basically terrigenesis

I liked the callout to her original power in the comics which was probability hexes.
