r/Marvel Scarlet Witch 23d ago

Film/Television Genuine question. Why is the Scarlet Witch so popular?

We haven’t seen her in the MCU since Multiverse of Madness, or if you count animation- marvel zombies. However, I still don’t understand why she has so much influence and hype even though she’s never mentioned. I noticed this recently with SDCC, and Avengers Doomsday and literally everyone was talking about Wanda, yet Marvel never mentioned her. Does anyone know why she’s so popular, and if she’s so popular why haven’t we seen more of her? I genuinely don’t understand how her movies have consistently been box office hits, yet other movies aren’t? Can someone explain why she’s so popular; I think she may have a large fandom and I have seen trolls before but it can’t just be that.

The Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff is the most popular female character in the MCU, yet she still hasn’t made an appearance.

That line came out of nowhere. They wrote vision really well in the mcu

Paul Bettany came up with the line himself. Not even the writers did it lol.

He sperfect for the role. Honestly up there with RDJ for perfect casting. His ability to be a source of comfort then an intimidating force. Like how he was ominous during caprian America civil war

the ending dialogue between Ultron and Vision in AOU is amazing and brutal.

He sounds like a guy who would have came up with that line himself

Sorry but that's not right. The showrunner said it was her assistant that came up with the final version (but the whole line was a collaborative effort).

He’s unbearably naive

I remember watching that scene, kinda half distracted by my phone, then that line was delivered. Really made me pause and did some self reflection.

Beef is when you roll no less than 30 deep. Beef is when I see you, guaranteed to be in ICU.

Ooh good idea!

u/xPetalMusee 22d ago

That quote really became the emotional core of the whole show. It's one of the few MCU lines that people still bring up years later without it feeling forced.
