While it may not have been how Marvel intended to kick of Phase 4 of the MCU, it’s hard to argue that WandaVision hasn’t done a good job of getting folks back in the superhero spirit. Whatever obstacles and issues the show may have faced trying to finish during the pandemic, it certainly seems to have found success among both MCU fans and general audiences alike.
That said, lingering questions still remain after the WandaVision finale, and some fans aren’t entirely ready to be on Wanda’s side after everything that happened. As it turns out, the creator of the show may agree, as, during an interview about the show’s success with Collider, Jac Schaeffer discussed her feelings about how everything wrapped up, and whether Wanda got the comeuppance she deserved.
For those who weren’t following the show closely, during the story Wanda is revealed to have created a perfect little bubble where she can live out her sitcom-inspired happy family life after the death of Vision. Over the course of the show, however, it is revealed that in order to do so, she has inadvertently brainwashed everyone in the area, forcing them to dance to her tune against their wishes. As the WandaVision series finale rolled around, Wanda eventually had an epiphany of sorts and closed the bubble, defeating those who wished her harm and freeing the citizens of the town from her control. Those citizens weren’t exactly grateful, however, and while Wanda went off to live in isolation for a while, some fans have wondered whether she should’ve been left to go free after what she did.
While some have suggested that the show didn’t properly address what Wanda is guilty of, Schaeffer fully acknowledges her culpability: “It’s really not okay what she did. And I’ve read a little bit of like, ‘Oh, we let her off the hook.’ That’s not really how I feel.” While Monica Rambeau lets Wanda go, Schaeffer argues that this was more because she knew it wouldn’t be possible to stop her, rather than letting her go with no consequences.
Further, Schaeffer says that while Wanda’s actions do deserve some sort of punishment, WandaVision wasn’t the show to explore that aspect of things. That said, even though the show itself doesn’t talk about it, and may come off as sympathetic to Wanda, that doesn’t mean the creative team forgives her: “I think it was not part of this series to move into the punishment or consequence phase of the story, but in my mind, I don’t forgive her. I understand what she did, but I don’t think it’s okay.”
It seems there could be some kind of reckoning in the future for the Scarlet Witch’s actions, especially with her supposed involvement with Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness. Whatever happens, fans will have to wait and see when Wanda makes her inevitable return to the MCU.
WandaVision is now available on Disney Plus.
