I think Wanda is the villain in Dr. Strange. I also think that is Pietro from another universe. I think he's able to push back on her because of the *role* he's put in. Everyone playing their *role* has wiggle room WITHIN THE ROLE.

WANDA KNOWS THEY ARE SUFFERING She just doesn't care.

Agnes is able to tell Vision about how Geraldine doesn't belong, despite another neighbor not wanting her to. Again, stretching...the sitcom role as much as she can, without breaking it.
Show this thread -
We see "Geraldine" break it once she's given an opening to...when Wanda mentions her brother. Only when WANDA breaks character, does it fully allow her to be Monica, for a few moments. But is this also because Monica Rambeaux has training too whereas the ppl of Westview don't?

Is that also why Pietro is able to push at Wanda? He's an X-man remember...if it's him. There's theories that he's actually Mephisto. I don't think so, but I do think Mephisto is behind all this somehow.

So here's what we DO know for sure. This is all taking place about a month after everyone comes back, we know this because of Monica's convo with the head of SWORD.
Show this thread -
So for Wanda (and Monica and others) the last 5 years haven't taken place. Wanda just lost Vision a month ago.

And her life has been a fucking misery, which we know. They defeat Thanos. Everyone is back. Huzzah. But not for Wanda. Her brother is dead. Tony is dead. Vision is dead. Steve is gone. Black Widow is dead.

THEN SHE FINDS OUT SOME PEOPLE ARE FUCKING WITH VISIONS BODY

What are they doing? My brother thinks they're reclaiming the vibranium because that shit is the most valuable substance on earth. Not me. I think the new director of SWORD hates superheroes. And I think he BLAMES the Avengers for everything that happened.
Show this thread -
Or maybe he's a Skrull. But I think he's just a weak human who is going to be the version of anti mutant but for real reasons. And people have REAL reasons to fucking hate the Avengers. All of them.

And you can see WHY people would blame them for fucking EVERYTHING that happened. And...how Tony 'fixed' it. It's nice people came back but hoo boy the problems. All so TONY could keep what was HIS. Never mind everyone else and their suffering. Yeah, you can see it too.

What if they're trying to get Vision's PROGRAMMING and they're using him. In his 'job' he says he doesn't know what he does, he just crunches numbers/data. I think that's what they were doing with him, trying to use him as a controlled AI

REGARDLESS We have confirmation from the head of SWORD that Vision's 'will' was that when he died...he fucking DIED. They were not to 'bring him back' or try to reboot his shit. Let him go. Clearly they didn't give a fuck.

And we see that again when Kat's character is like 'HELP HIM' and they're not helping him as he's ripping through the hex.

So the question is How did Wanda know what the fuck they were doing to Vision. How'd that come about. What did she do when she took him, we see that on cam a bit. WHERE did she take him and WHY?
Show this thread -
Did she know Agnes Harkness, who in the Marvel comics is a powerful magic user? Is that who Agnes is? Did she ask her to help her with Vision? Did she just try to do it on her own? Did she recreate him from her memories alone, or ...did she pull part of him from a multiverse?
Show this thread -
We see THIS Vision, is an autonomous being...but with limited memory and he's dead outside the hex. We've seen that now. But he is still HIMSELF. He is clearly upset with the wrongness of ...everything. And horrified at the suffering of the people.

Wanda. doesn't. care. Is that ...who she is? Or is that who she's become? Or is she somehow trapped too, being manipulated by someone using her powers? We dunno.
Show this thread -
What we know for sure and have been told more than once is Wanda is doing this Wand is in unbelievable pain Wanda...needs help. To help Westview, they must help Wanda. And SWORD wants to kill her.
Show this thread -
OH AND SOMEONE JUST REMINDED ME (thank you dear kitten) Agnes got lost in a town she's lived in all her life. But SWORD couldn't find her ID. And her car has CT plates. Not NJ.

Oh and as has been written elsewhere, I also think Marvel is using this to retcon her powers. They didn't have the rights to mutants when they brought her in, so her powers were from the mind stone. They seem to be setting up now that it just UNLOCKED her powers.
Show this thread -
And if she was just using limited powers borrowed before and now is using her own magic, it's no wonder that her powers, which she barely was playing with before, now in her madness...she doesn't even know what she's doing or how.
Show this thread -
She wants her brother. She won't rez the dead she told Agnes (assuming she can, she SAID she could...but Agnes seemed shocked. I don't think she can really). She wants Pietro. He's dead. And her powers...find him.

Another Pietro Maximoff. Another brother. Who has some memories, but only sitcom like memories. However ONE THING was always constant with Pietro in the comics. He was always 100% on Wanda's side.
Show this thread -
Which isn't to say they didn't disagree or argue or whatever. But they ALWAYS had each other's backs. In the comics, Pietro is the REAL reason she creates the House of M schism timeline/universe. (Everyone assumes it was Magneto but newp).

And why would if it was NOT Pietro or a version of him...why use a body that WE THE VIEWER recognize but Wanda doesn't. That would be a huge fuck you to the audience.
Show this thread -
So no I don't think it's a baddie pretending to be Pietro. I think it's exactly who we, the audience, think it is. THAT Pietro, with weird memories, gaps, and...muscle memory of an X-man who has dealt with weird and terrible shit before.
Show this thread -
who is STRECHING in the role as much as he possibly can, to figure out what the fuckity fuck is going on. Every way he acted, including being a bit of a shit? 100% in character with Francis from Malcolm in the Middle. Francis would've said that twice dead husband shit.

So yeah I think the characters who are 'main' characters can push within their roles with Wanda. And push harder away from Wanda. But are still limited and controlled BY Wanda. But I think her control isn't within her control whether due to her being very sick or outside help
Show this thread -
And she herself is trapped within Westview too. And you have two groups outside, one that wants to try to help to fix it and one that wants to be destructive to end it. What a fucking show. But yeah, I think she's the baddie in Dr. Strange and she's going to fuck up reality
