I think the fact that she is a woman is the reason for this on a deeper level - Wanda being a woman affected their choice to do this story in the first place, it affected the choice to make her the bad guy of House of M/Decimation in the comics

But I mean I dunno that it's unfair that people are reacting to this show in a particular way because they clearly set it up as a moral dilemma and then lowkey took Wanda's aside anyway The ending is very conspicuously Monica outright saying "Yeah I'm not gonna arrest you"

To some degree I think we're just getting this now because of the essentially random reasons the MCU ended up not being able to give Hulk his own movies When this moral dilemma is kind of the entire point of the Hulk's character, set up in a much more visceral way

Yes!!!! Yes to all of this. I just watched Incredible Hulk, and it set up the story well. Whedon seemed a bit interested in showing the dangers of Hulk, but he was hampered with having to do group movies. After AoU, they pretty much dropped that aspect of his character

It's a shame because this whole thing is what Hulk is completely about Bruce is a deeply, horrifically traumatized person, traumatized in a specific way Wanda never was (growing up with an abusive father and watching his mother abused)

And his whole life is about repressing that trauma and pretending to be okay until he can't anymore and it all comes out in a way that FEELS REALLY GOOD and yet is FUNDAMENTALLY NOT OKAY

And unlike the kind of abstract, magic metaphor for abuse and control in WandaVision, with Bruce it's all very visceral and upfront ("There's no armor, it's just one big raw nerve")

Even if we imagine a magic handwave where the Hulk never actually killed an innocent person in a rampage (which is ridiculous) Screaming at people and breaking shit so they're afraid of you and you get your way feels REALLY Good, and is FUNDAMENTALLY BAD

If that's what makes you feel good, if that's your coping mechanism, if your sense of emotional release and self-actualization comes from terrorizing others and making them live in fear... Then yeah you're an abuser and a monster This a very real, raw issue the MCU never did

Ironically it's something that was in Whedon's wheelhouse that he talked about on Buffy and Angel and he gestured to on Avengers 1 but he steered clear of in AoU Ironically because it turns out he's a huge hypocrite on the issue with skeletons in his own closet

(Does Joss strike me as the kind of dude who'd ever actually punch someone? Probably not Is he the kind of shy nerdy guy who found out when he got a little bit of power over others the ability to make people afraid of him by acting erratic and threatening was intoxicating? Yup)
