      She and Pietro should have died exactly ten seconds after their parents died, that's what was supposed to happen Stark Industries is a quality outfit that doesn't make duds But they lived because of her stupid childish belief that at the end of the episode the story continues

      Lol I guess that's "hopepunk" isn't it In a very real sense - Wanda was never 100% "in character" or "asleep" We saw the "real Wanda" wake up in a big way when Hayward sends the drone

      She knows the real world is out there, with their guns and their bombs and their bombs and their guns She speaks its language well enough And she's just decided she's doing to do what she needs to do to survive it, even if it's completely fucking literally diagnosably insane

      And you don't have to agree with it or support it - indeed if you're anyone other than her you really can't - but you have to *respect* it You can't accuse her of not knowing what she was getting into, not paying the price It's like Neil Gaiman's comic about Emperor Norton

      Lol there's a lot of highfalutin existentialist Camus shit about the fundamental delusion, the noble untruth, that underlies every human life And is also the core thing everyone makes fun of about sitcoms, above everything else silly about them

      In the face of the ruthless business of Hollywood where shows get canceled every day, and in the face of the basic facts of human biology and entropy where death is an inevitability A classic sitcom is written as though it will go on forever There will always be a next episode

      That's what they teach you to believe, even though it's the most fundamental of untruths To keep on going to bed every night believing that after the credits roll you will wake up tomorrow for another adventure

      Though, granted, she still can't drag innocent folk into her pain without their consent. That part still needs fixing, if nothing else. She's well aware of the fantasy, but not... enough regarding the trauma she's inflicting on the people of Westview, or she does but...

      ... but she's too far down the throes of grief to care. Though, I imagine this is part of the nuance you're referring to.

      The single biggest challenge to turning the real world into the kind of comforting, safe reality we find in fiction is, of course, the disagreements over who the main character should be

          Nicely put. Sort of the main thrust of BoJack Horseman, wasn't it? Which, incidentally, another show with a lead who turns to cheesy sitcoms as an escape from ethical responsibility, reality, etc..

          I won't lie, I was almost hoping the 2010's WandaVision episode would turn into a BoJack riff, as a commentary on the modern trend of sitcoms skewed towards moral self-interrogation and absolutely electric with tragic undercurrents.

          I mean shit that's what privilege is in the end You get to be the main character and the cost of that is other people having to be your supporting cast and crew Your setbacks become just part of your story of growth and perseverance because you offload the consequences

          This is, like, what underlies a lot of the jokes people make about "white nonsense" and the idea that only a white protagonist would go ahead and go into the basement in a horror movie How the Black dude in the horror movie just gets randomly killed in Act One
