And in that regard Sophie Turner in Dark Phoenix and Elizabeth Olsen in WandaVision are night and day

OK, so medium take here, I don't think that *in a universe centered around superpowers*, where people's problems are inherently going to be related to, well, having superpowers, that it's misogynistic for a woman who happens to have power to be the problem

It doesn't help that Wanda in the MCU is technically a Joss Whedon creation and that she resembles and in fact has a near-exact-if-expanded arc of the most famous Whedon female magic-wielder with her hair color and build and motivation for going evil. BUT.

It seems to me like male version of this trope is most male supervillains, particularly ones whose plots involve all-powerful macguffins. The male version is usually stopped as he's trying to recover Vision's body.

We get male supervillains (and male heroes) whose core motivation is grief over the loss of a woman all the time. But that story doesn't really deal with the grief. It's an excuse for men to punch or shoot each other, or prove what a good person they are.
