Infinity War No More Thanos - The Scarlet Witch Thread

[Aximili86]

The Wanda/Vision relationship still admittedly creeps me the **** out, given the age gap of the actors.

Aww I thought it was sweet. Especially

Spoiler

the scene in Edinburgh. Paul played Vision quite innocent. He was adorable and bashful when he was trying to suggest he should stay with Wanda

There's only 17 years between them which isn't that bad. I think it's just that Lizzie looks younger than her age. She's got a baby face.

She definitely looks about 6 or 7 years younger than she really is, but honestly in this movie he looks like a 30 something year old.

What all did Scarlett Witch do with her powers?

What all did Scarlett Witch do with her powers?

Spoiler

Extremely high level telekinesis, she lifted two HUGE alien vehicles the size of small buildings and she destroyed the mind stone.

Spoiler

I was genuinely surprised she was one of the ones who got dusted at the end. She's turned into such a powerhouse that I was sure we were going to see her continue to grow. I'll be gutted if everyone turned to ash doesn't come back til the end of A4

I'll go into a mini depression if

Spoiler

Scarlett, Starlord, Spidey, Drax, Strange, Panther, and Bucky don't come back.

Spoiler

They'll definitely come back... it's just when. If A4 is the last Avengers movie with this roster... I don't want Bucky coming back in the last 5 minutes. I want him and Cap to have time together. Same with Wanda... she showed so much growth and I became a fan in this movie. I don't want her to be side lined now.

I became a fan in this movie as well, I didn't really like or dislike her in AOU and Civil War.

Here she should TREMENDOUS growth in all aspects.

 

[ironman_rick]

Maybe we should see the full spectrum of SW's power if she somehow consumes the reality stone in avenger 4 ?

Spoiler

assuming she gets revived

Now that i think about it...her comic book powers seem very similar to the abilities of the reality stone.

That scene...

Spoiler

where she's trying to destroy the mind stone and simultaneously holding back Thanos... the look on her face, the anguish... the music in the background. Possibly the best moment of the entire movie for me.

I'm not one to complain about character being OP, I enjoy OP characters but THAT would be too OP.

I agree, a pretty superb moment and great acting

 

[Havok83]

I loved how she grew in power and skill. Wanda was awesome here

 

[JOE]

Wanda definitely had more to do this movie! She was fantastic, can't wait to see her in the next film.

 

[scarlet-witch]

I really hope

Spoiler

they bring her back at least by mid movie next time. I need more of that.

me tooooooooo!!

 

[Leenie]

I predict that

Spoiler

The characters who turned to ashes at the end of this movie will be brought back at the end of the second act ... So that the final fight will have everyone.

If this movie is supposed to play out as a "passing of the torch" kind of thing to the newer MCU cast members, then I think everyone needs to be there for the final fight.

 

[CosmicSpider]

Wanda was amazing! Badass, beautiful, powerful, I just wish they had her do a little more action in the Wakanda battle.

I LOVED her display of moves in Edinburgh.

Wanda and Strange both really took it up a notch in this film -

The Russos seem to forget that she has telepathy and mind control powers too.

What I liked most was her increased confidence, especially after Civil War - she

Spoiler

easily holds her own against the Black Order, who took out Vision easily. Also, she gets a lot of acknowledgement from the other Avengers as one of their most powerful members. Nice.

Elizabeth Olsen on Her Avengers: Infinity War Corset, Her Talented Sisters, and Non-Human Dating

Elizabeth Olsen is apologizing for being “tired and inarticulate” for the second time in 15 minutes, but actually she seems exactly like her usual whip-smart, thoughtful, engaging self. The Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills is crammed today because 20 of the all-star cast are here for the movie junket—including Scarlett Johansson, Chadwick Boseman, Robert Downey, Danai Gurira, Zoe Saldana, Mark Ruffalo, and Sebastian Stan, to name a few. This craziness is how we end up in what Olsen calls an “absolutely creepy” room, furnished only with two hard chairs and some posters. She apologizes again because there are no snacks and drinks available in there, and then—almost immediately—the lights begin flickering. “It’s definitely haunted,” she says.

Despite this possibly supernatural distraction, she turns her full attention to talking about how Black Panther changed everything, her pro-level ability with finger gestures, and dealing with sensitive non-human dating issues.

She’d prefer to tweak her Avengers costume just a little.
"It would just not be a cleavage corset. I like corsets, but I'd like it to be higher. Everyone has these things that cover them—Tessa Thompson does, Scarlett does. I would like to cover up a bit. It's funny because sometimes I look around and I'm just like—wow, I'm the only one who has cleavage, and that's a constant joke because they haven't really evolved my superhero costume that much. But then you look at where it started in the comic books and it was a leotard and a headband so…oh, it's horrible, it’s so horrible. So at least they know that’s not cool. But then they made Wonder Woman, you know? And that’s what she’s in. I think of the costumes and what we have to wear—it’s more about iconic images, because that's what these movies are.... I think that's the goal with the costumes, and it's not representing the average woman."

Marvel superhero movies are getting inclusivity right.
"That's why I like working with Marvel, because its almost like they're not trying to slap anyone over the head with it, but they recognize that they have such a huge platform, and they're using it to be as inclusive as they can with their storylines and representing the world. That's why [Black] Panther felt like such a huge thing in culture, and they're aware of it, and their goal is to not make the same stories that have happened over and over and over again. I think that's why the movies continue to be successful from a story and tone point of view."

Even Scarlet Witch can find love...
"I think its really sweet [between The Vision, played by Paul Bettany, and Scarlet Witch]. The funniest thing about it is that Paul's whole journey with The Vision is that they should just try to figure out what it's like to be human. This is that step, of his discovery of what it's like to be human, and [Scarlet Witch] keeps losing everyone she loves—so it's nice to get to find some sort of relief in her journey."

...and it's probably easier to date a non-human than other dudes, right?
"He's probably more human and sensitive than any guy out there. He has all of the facts of what adds up to being sweet and kind and generous."

Her finger-waving superpower gestures are totally on point now.
"It comes naturally now, I don't have to do isolation exercises. Originally, we had a general idea of what Joss [Whedon, director of previous Avengers films] wanted the movement to be. Then a choreographer, Jennie White, who is now a good friend of mine because we spent so much time together, translated what was in his brain to the character. Then for this movie, the stunt team really embraced the Scarlet Witch and they now have become like weird nerds [about it]. They got a stunt person, the incredible C.C. [Ice], equally a nerd, who loves martial arts and it's evolved. That's how I started working on this—with just a week of only stunts in Scotland. I've never had that opportunity before, so it was fun.”

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

What's the big deal about the age difference? I am far more creeped out by the difference of age of the characters of Don and Judy on LOST IN SPACE and that seems to be more along the lines of only ten years, but it's an 18 year old and someone around 28.

Here Olsen is 29, so hardly a kid and Bettany is 46, I could see quibbles if it were 19 and like 36 but she's not some ingenue at this point.

To tell ya'll the truth:

Spoiler

My big take away in regards to Wanda in this movie was... Meh. Olsen has never appealed to me as an actress. She's always just kinda there. No doubt she's more comfortable as this character (and did anyone else notice she REALLY soft peddled that "accent" this time around?) but seeing as a big part of her arc is due to a relationship we never really get to see develop only told about... Eh, I just wasn't invested in her or her emotional pain as much as I was invested in Vision himself as a character. But the immediacy of the relationship and the threats to it didn't really register much emotionally speaking to me.

 

[gurkle]

I just assumed the filmmakers told her to tone down the accent gradually with each movie.

 

[dyl1dyl]

Wanda was amazing! Badass, beautiful, powerful, I just wish they had her do a little more action in the Wakanda battle.

I LOVED her display of moves in Edinburgh.




This would be my ultimate fangirl dream for A4.

Yup, wish she had a bit more screentime since she was great when she was on screen. Overall though, as long as she is a part of the MCU, survives until post Avengers 4 and regularly appears in Phase 4, I'll be happy.

 

[gurkle]

While there was no place for it here I will be disappointed if she doesn't meet Dr. Strange next year.

If nothing else it could clarify what her powers are and how they differ from his. It seems (and this would be comics-accurate) Strange is an expert while Wanda uses power instictively, like a hammer, with little finesse.

It would also please if someone called her Scarlet Witch. But mostly I just want to know she fits the MCU and see her with characters she hasn't met already.
