Civil War She'll put a hex on you! The official Scarlet Witch thread

[BoredGuy]

yeah true, but Wakanda, Asgard, and Attilan are fully realized places with history and cultures and styles far removed from any real places on earth

random-eastern-european-country-that's-very-similar-but-not-the-same-as-other-eastern-european-countries seems kinda pointless

 

[gurkle]

I still don't exactly get why they made up a fake country though, considering Marvel has always tried to be more "real world" than DC's fake earth, but it is what it is

Whedon mentioned on the commentary track that they felt it would be going too far to wipe a real country or city off the face of the earth. In other words, it had to be a fake country because it had to be an expendable country.

In the comics, the twins are from "Transia" and the country Ultron wiped out was "Slorenia." I guess they thought neither of those fake names were quite right.

As for the accents, if you remember Kendra on Buffy the Vampire Slayer you'll remember Whedon has always had an odd affection for weird fake accents. Hopefully the Russos will tone it down a bit (but then I have my doubts about whether anyone will really want to use Wanda much now that Whedon's gone).

I don't see the distinction. They didn't want to blow up an actual country, there there's your explanation.

 

[BoredGuy]

they blow up america all the damn time, lol

 

[InternetPeople]

It's more acceptable to blow up your own home than to blow up someone else's

Only parts of it.

I hope she's wearing the uniform that we saw her in at the end of AOU at the assembling of The New Avengers is featured in Civil War.

That was a thing of sheer beauty, was it not?

Only parts of it.

Mostly NY, though.

Glad to see Scarlet in her uniform with the Team!

^WAAAAAAYYYY more happy with that version of the running scene, though it still looks cheesy AF

Much better as it looked funny at them all running, especially Falcon. One person I don't see is Ant-Man but hopefully because he's already shrunk or maybe he's not involved in this battle.

 

[Silvermoth]

Oh wow can she get any more fierce! I just want all wanda, all the time!

Cannot wait to see more of Wanda t: she looks awesome here!

She can fly now!

 

[Loki882]

She could fly at the end of AOU. Also, hopefully they don't just don't completely gloss over the whole "you and your brother willingly worked with Ultron and were complicit in a lot of his actions" thing here.

 

[MbJ]

That'd be a fun exchange.

"You worked with Ultron!"

"Wait, didn't you build Ultron behind everyone's backs in the first place?"

"...."

I'd love something like this.
