Age of Ultron The Official Scarlet Witch Thread - Part 1

[Mr. Dent]

I'd rather no romance between anyone

 

[universeman]

Nope Vision and Scarlet Witch besides Cap will most likely will end up with Sharon. Cap's like Peter Pan he only falls for the girls who are related to Peggy. Like PP only falls for the girls who are related to Wendy.

Where is your soul, sir? Love is what makes the world go round.

You gotta have romance. It's what makes life worth living.

My top votes in MCU pairings, in order:

Steve Natasha (CapWidow)
Natasha Wanda (WidoWitch)
Clint Wanda (HawkWitch)
Tony Steve (IronCap)
Tony Pepper (Mrs. Pepper Stark)
Steve Sharon (Cap13)
Thor Sif (Mrs. Sif Odinson)
Bruce Betty Ross (Mrs. Hulk)

Not true, Cap was also involved with Wasp. And the whole Sharon stuff is massively gross and lazy though it does look like it maybe headed that way. I hope it's super developed and done tastefully because....that ish ain't cute.

That would actually be great for a change. I got to give Marvel this though, so far the romances have been background or toned down for the most part. The strongest one is Tony and Pepper and I appreciate that we got to actually see that evolve rather than a rushed mess *coughs JanexThor* I'm also glad they put that useless scene with Thor and Jane in the after credits, though I'm pissed that I stayed for it too. Such a waste of time. The most heartbreaking is definitely Steve and Peggy though...Le sighs. They were falling in love beautifully together, but to no avail. That's why I will NEVER EVER support Sharon in that regard in Steve's life. That relationship was trash from the start and I'm glad it ended when she did.

I agree. Cap may be my favorite Marvel hero, but I have always HATED the Cap/Sharon romance in his stories. I just find the whole thing to be icky, no matter how seldom they mention Peggy in hopes that we'll forget it, lol.

Honestly, I'd be happier with Cap romancing pretty much any other female character in the MCU not named Sharon Carter, but I'm prepared to be disappointed on that front.

 

[Loki882]

I still don't see what's so "icky" about it?

Amen to this! I feel the same way. Cap is my fave too, and if it's any area they dropped the ball with him it's definitely in the romance department. Like they really just couldn't write the man a new and compelling love interest NOT tied to Peggy...are you kidding me? Like I said, it was lazy. Hopefully they don't focus too much on it because I'd rather not want to puke watching Cap 3 and they've shown Peggy and his love for her prominently in the films with more look like to come for AOU, which is awesome, so if he gone be smashing Lame 13 they better swerve right because it could be an epic fail. And yes, at this point it's about Steve being with anyone other than 13, he was always too good for her and their relationship was effed up from day 1. Even the actress playing her is weak and unappealing, well it fits 13 so I guess. But man listen...if they actually put him and Wasp together like the Ultimate's I would stan so hard. Chris and Evangeline Lily(if that's who she's playing) would slay! I really want Marvel to step outside the box a bit and go against the obvious in this area, but like you said I'm not holding my breath.

 

[jaymes_e06]

Nothing is wrong with the actress playing Sharon.

 

[Destined]

She is lame and her acting sucks, not to mention she looks very young next to Chris as well. But to each his own, I'm just not impressed.

 

[Ghostcrow13]

Nothing really icky about Sharon and Cap in the MCU, Cap and Peggy kissed once for about 2 seconds, if Cap had survived how do we know Cap and Peggy would have lasted? They could have broken up a few months later.

However I don't see how Sharon wouldn't mention she was related to Peggy before they started to date in which case I feel like it would certainly make Cap think twice about it.

In regards to SW and Vision I wonder what general audiences would make of it

It's not about the physical, but it's clear they loved one another, even before Steve got the serum Peggy was falling for him. And without a doubt Steve and Peggy would've been together and got married and the whole nine if not for the crash. She was his "right" partner thus him still loving her. That's why the films still make point to show it. And yes it is gross and not in Steve's character.

SW and Vision would definitely be a new unconventional pair onscreen, however, I don't think it will go there. I do see them maybe showing her growing a fondness for him and he for her without it going there per say.

 

[Herolee10]

I'm sure that it's been probably brought up before, but I just find it funny on how Elizabeth had just previously acted with Aaron as his wife in "Godzilla" and is now playing his sister in this film. Man, I can already see any Wanda and Pietro shippers from the Ultimates Era having a field day with their materials on Tumblr.lol

Very true lol! Welp least the connection and familiarity between them was already there. AOU probably is no problem for them having that bond so to speak already.

The Steve/Sharon relationship has been distasteful from day one. The comics should never have gone there and the films shouldn't compound the error by following suit. In TWS it was obvious that Sharon knows that Steve and her aunt Peggy had a romance, she had to know. Once Steve finds out that she's Peggy's niece, if that doesn't put him right off her it's going to seem damned strange to the general audience. He's still carrying a massive torch for Peggy in TWS; he has the compass with her photo that he looks at, goes to the Smithsonian to watch her and hear her voice and even when he visited her in the nursing home he looked at her with the same love in his eyes that he always had. Shoving Steve into a relationship with her niece, like that's some sort of just-as-good consolation prize, will seem like a betrayal of the beautiful, tragic love he has for Peggy.

On top of all that, in the comic books Sharon is literally the worst girlfriend of any superhero. She ****ing killed him. Magic bullet/brainwashing BS aside, that's pretty damned awful even by bizarre comic book standards. Some fans are eager to see Steve Rogers die so that Bucky can take his place, so I suppose having Sharon on hand would facilitate that eventually. Personally, I don't want her anywhere near him, especially not when sniper rifles and Crossbones are involved.

Chile Yasss! ALL OF THIS^! My thoughts exactly on how I feel about that whole dynamic. I mean...I just...you said IT! Sharon is just an awful lazy character they placed in Marvel and Cap's life. She is one of my most disliked characters EVER! I really don't know what they're going to do with her in Cap 3, but like you I really do pray they stay platonic and Cap just mentors her or something. She's just so unimportant and unfit for Cap especially coming after Peggy, not to mention being related to her. I'm still hoping she goes rogue and turns out to be a villain, which is how I see her. I never trusted her and she was always shady even with Cap. Their entire relationship run was a cluster eff of complications from the go. My hope is that they tread carefully on this angle because it looks like we'll get even more of Steve and Peggy in AOU and audiences will most certainly be thrown off by Steve's all of a sudden out of character affection for her great niece. Just so effing stupid! I'm hoping Marvel surprises me...but there are no guarantees unfortunately.

Amen. No romance.
Just drunken meaningless sex from start to finish.

Throw in that Cosplay girl, and have her and Olsen have a 'fight' about the better outfit.

Bryan Singer reveals Scarlet Witch is not in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'

http://www.examiner.com/article/bryan-singer-reveals-scarlet-witch-is-not-x-men-days-of-future-past

[QUOTEAccording to Comic Book Movie on Sunday, Bryan Singer was able to reveal a clarification on an already assumed rumor about "X-Men: Days of Future Past". Apparently, the young girl scene in the trailer was thought to be Pietro Maximoff's sister, the Scarlet Witch, however this isn't the case. Singer just acknowledged her as his young sister and nothing more of the character's connection to the mutant in question.

So basically, she is Maximoff's little sister, but the sibling isn't the Scarlet Witch. In fact, Singer said that there was a line cut from a scene which encouraged the young sister to go "bug" the older sister. Singer said, "Is that the Scarlet Witch? No, that's his little sister. I even had a line which I cut, where Quicksilver's mother says to the little girl, 'Go up and bug your sister,' and the little girl says, 'She bugs me!' You never see the older sister, but it was to imply that there is an older sister for comic book fans. I ended up cutting it".

Some even thought that the child would be returning in "X-Men: Apocalypse", but at this point it is unknown of the role of Scarlet Witch that she'll even be part of the 20th Century Fox franchise. So at this point in time, Marvel comic book fans would have to pay homage to seeing the brother sister duo team pair up as they fight in "Avengers 2". It does sound like, according to Singer, Evan Peters may be returning to "X-Men: Apocalypse".][/QUOTE]

Really? You saw all that? I saw someone who was acting like a dutiful grandson who was faithfully taking care of the equivalent of an Alzheimer's-ridden grandmother on her deathbed. There was nothing romantic about it --- thank god. So, having a great grand-niece (they *have* to be separated by at least two generations) show an attraction to a good-looking coworker who is *her* age is "icky" to you because that coworker once kinda-sorta had an unconsummated crush on Auntie several lifetimes ago? This, despite the fact that Auntie went on to get happily married to another man and raise a family and live a perfectly fulfilling life without Steve's presence? And yet, you fantasizing about young Steve lusting after a senile 95-year old woman on her hospital deathbed is not "icky"....?

Okay, then. I take it you've watched Harold and Maude a billion times.

On top of all that, in the comic books Sharon is literally the worst girlfriend of any superhero. She ****ing killed him. Magic bullet/brainwashing BS aside, that's pretty damned awful even by bizarre comic book standards.

How many superheroes/heroines *haven't* killed each other at some point or other? Besides, you're getting wayyyy ahead of yourself if you think Death of Cap will ever become a thing in the MCU. Death of Cap relies on a long, convoluted plot that emerges out of the politics of Civil War, and that's something that has *no* reason to exist ever in the MCU as currently drawn.

Didn't I already say that the little girl in the X-Men trailer wasn't Scarlet Witch? Yeah, I said the little girl wasn't Scarlet Witch. Yay, points for me for common sense.

So what, is Bucky the worst best friend/sidekick of any superhero because he tried to kill Steve (and countless others) while brainwashed?

In any case, I doubt Wanda is going to date anyone in this movie. The closest she'll get is a 'moment of understanding' with Steve, Clint and/or Vision. Bruce and Natasha had some nice moments in the Avengers, and most people didn't read those as romantic.
