I saw someone comment that Wanda started out as this radicalized Eastern European teenager who despised American capitalism so it's a contradiction that she seems obsessed with US TV And I'm like You haven't met many people fitting that description have youhttps://twitter.com/jeannette_ng/status/1358066774609178624 …

Anyone who thinks she didn't get embittered precisely because the America they represented was so completely disconnected from the reality she lived, both in Sovokia, and then, later, hunted for her powers, doesn't really understand human beings at all.

She fully understands the lie she is living, and that it is a lie. She knew the stories of America on TV were a lie ever since she sat with her brother for day and watched the bomb in her apartment not explode. It's just...she's so broken she's willing to accept that lie.

I really liked the fact they had her slip back into her Sokovian accent last episode, and I'm really hoping the MCU is actually going to get someone with a complicated relationship with 'America' and their ideas of what it is. ...through the lens of fricking sitcoms, apparently.

And I find it a bit interesting she made herself be canonically Sokovian within the sitcom, but has absolutely no accent or anything, and has decided the fish-out-of-water comedy premise should be 'a witch' instead of 'a foreigner'. God, I love this show, it's so metatextual.

And yet Vision gets to stay British! (Even though the "real" Vision just had a British accent for random reasons and wasn't actually British in any meaningful sense)

Because, heartbreakingly, she wants the old Vision back as close to how he was as possible, sitcom logic be damned But when it comes to *herself* she's constantly struggling to erase and replace the real Wanda with a happy housewife caricature

To erase all the pain of her real history and push it as far away as possible, but it keeps bubbling back up whenever she slackens her grip In the commercials, if nowhere else

It's interesting that when they're picking baby names she doesn't bring up the idea of naming the kid Pietro (or even Pete) even though Hawkeye named a kid in his honor She picks "Tommy" *because it's generic and has no connection to her*

"A good, strong, all-American name" She rejects "Billy" (which that surely also applies to) because Vision taints it with foreignness slightly by mentioning William Shakespeare
