Yeah I mean The thing is, if all our laws apply to Vision as though he were a normal human person, then Wanda is unambiguously correct when she shows up at SWORD HQ - his remains are part of his estate to be disposed of according to his will, and by default property of his heirs

And it doesn't fucking matter how valuable they are in monetary terms - if you were allowed to auction most celebrities' corpses on the open market they'd fetch a handsome price too (This was that whole issue with the girl who married Charles Manson in prison to sell his corpse)

There's also the thing where Wanda and Vision were never formally legally married (hence the lack of wedding rings or an anniversary as mentioned in WandaVision episode 1)

If you really tried to press her on that fact in court it'd probably come down to the old common law marriage definitions Or she'd explode with rage and turn everyone in a 500-mile radius into a rain of toads

Honestly the whole Sokovia Accords thing makes more sense in the comics where there are tons of secret super vigilantes and doesn’t really make sense in the MCU where there are only like a dozen heroes, they’re open in public, and they already work for the government.

It would've affected the "street-level" heroes from Netflix's Defenders shows a lot more directly but the federal government doesn't even really seem aware they exist
