Age of Ultron The Official Scarlet Witch Thread - Part 1

I really hope she's in the Dr. Strange movie after Avengers 2.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

I really hope that isn't the case. Strange, his supporting characters and milieu are more than enough material for an origin story. Absolutely no reason for a crossover/team up at this stage. Mid or post credits scene is fine I guess.

“The reason she’s so special is because she has such a vast amount of knowledge that she’s unable to learn how to control it. No one taught her how to control it properly. So it gets the best of her. It’s not that she’s mentally insane, it’s just that she’s just overly stimulated. And she can connect to this world and parallel worlds at the same time, and parallel times.”

Elizabeth on Wanda

Phew...sorta. I guess (hope) production didn't actually want "crazy" Wanda, and it was just Olsen reading the wrong comics.

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere on here (I could've missed it) but EW confirmed that they will be orphans of Romani descent, and had been practicing an accent.

Elizabeth on Wanda

I like what I'm hearing!!

Sounds like Wanda's gonna be like the Raven of the MCU!! t:

 

[X Knight]

She actually looks prettier with the ponytail look.

Seconded.

So this is interesting...apparently visually, Wanda and Pietro will be sort of touchy feely with each other.

We are going to get alot of this. Then at some point in the movie its going to get awkward. That's when Whedon will have Tony make a Lanaster joke to much comedic effect.

They are brother and sister but they use each other to fill the rolls that other people would normally play in there lives including Mother & Father and Husband & Wife (with out the sex of course *none ultimate*).

 

[The Guard]

Which is kind of an interesting approach, really.

I'm fine with sibling bond and even a paternal/maternal bond, but I will be so upset if it goes into incest territory. That kind of relationship works for characters in Game of Thrones, but not the MCU.

He's going there. The point is that they're extremely close. Its a normal closeness but its creepy because most people only ever get that close and intimate with a Spouse. (YOU) as a viewer think of incest because there a little to close. That's how it kind of works with the 616 characters where. Technicaly it work in anything. Its a character quark. They won't actually be incestuous but it will seem creepy. It kind of like Angelina Jolie and here brother.

Even if they don't get THAT close in the movie, you can always go watch them make out on the couch in Godzilla...

Or you can watch Olsen [BLACKOUT]make out with her father[/BLACKOUT] in Old boy.

OMG the reveal at the end of the movie had me like....

In fact I actually stood up with my hand over my mouth going no No NO!!! The people beside me were too shocked to care.

 

[Kane52630]

You never watched the original Oldboy?

 

[Smashlilman]

You never watched the original Oldboy?

I went home and watched it the next day on netflix to see how close or different to the original it was.

The ending to the original made me feel the same way as the remake. The only thing that hit me harder was the very very end with the woman with the Umbrella I was like "No!!! I kind of understand but GOD NO!!!"

Incest is only incest when it is adults having sex with minors. I have no problem with two adult relatives making out with each other.

I was lucky enough to grow up in a household with two parents, but we were definitely in that working class group where both had to work full time and my dad's job required him to be on the road and out of state 10 months out of the year. So I did a lot of the care-taking at home, and as a result my brother, sister, and I are all very close and have a relationship were - despite being 2 and 4 years older than them respectively - I am somewhere between a sister and a mother figure to them. In fact, I've had people mistake them for my kids when hearing me go on about them and then I feel so embarrassed as I have to explain, no, I'm just so proud of my little brother/sister that I just sound like a parent. Hell, my sister recently came up to visit me and while I was showing her around the city I would hold her hand every time we crossed the street; she's 24. I'm so protective of them now that I can't even imagine what it would be like if our parents weren't there and it was just us.

I've always liked Wanda and Pietro, partly because I tend to gravitate towards sibling characters with close bonds. It seems like the vast majority of fictional characters can only share that kind of closeness with a romantic partner or their children which has always really annoyed me. Possibly because I don't have kids and have two or three friendships that I would say are far stronger than any romantic relationship I've ever been in, but you don't actually get to see that represented on screen very often.

Joss has written some solid sibling pairs before, so I'm really looking forward to see the way they play Wanda and Pietro. I agree that, yeah, it might come off as weird to some people. Not necessarily because the intent is to portray them as incestuous, but because we are so use to only seeing that strong of a relationship between couples in TV and movies. Most siblings come off more as good friends with a common daddy issue that they can share the occasional drink over, but rarely do you get the impression of, oh, here is a sister who is willing to die for her brother, who would do it without thought. As a big sister, I have to say that I would. I would totally, in an instant.

Although I would never, ever kiss either of them on the mouth like that. That might cross the line into creepy for me.

First, Incest has nothing to do with it being between children, teens or adults; Incest is sexual relations with a blood relative, no matter the relation.
Second, you have issues man.

I guess it does make family reunions interesting.
