TERRIBLY ANGSTY AUTHOR'S NOTE WARNING!
I JUST WATCHED INFINITY WAR AGAIN, (ACTUALLY I WATCHED IT TWO TIMES ALREADY) AND I NOTICED, I THE LAST SCENE, WHERE TONY IS CRADLING HIS HAND WITH ASHED OUT PETER PARKER ON IT, HE ACTUALLY LETS A TEAR DROP FLOW DOWN! AND NOW I FELL WORSE THAN WHAT I WAS FEELING AFTER WATCHING INFINITY WAR FOR THE FIRST TIME! I SWEAR, IF MARVEL DOESN'T LET TONY STARK SMILE FOR AT LEAST ONES BEFORE HE DIES, I'M GOING TO KILL EVERYONE AND THEN MYSELF! WHY IS A HAPPY TONY STARK TOO MUCH TO ASK?!
Is it wrong to consider her the most PoWErFuL aVeNGeR? Nah! She, from my point of view, surely is the most powerful avenger!
Lets trace her story from the beginning, back from Age Of Ultron where is was introduced, Wanda was introduced along with Pietro her brother. She seemed to have exceeded her brother's powers as Ultron clearly states that while Pietro can physically hurt the Avengers, Wanda can 'tear them from within.' We even get a glimpse of that when we see her unleash her full powers when Pietro dies and blast off all the Ultron bots around her. Pain unleashed her full strength. But also, all through the movies, Wanda needs someone as her mentor to help her through the course. She hates being alone after all the deaths she has seen in her life. In the beginning it was Pietro who literally stuck with her in AoU. In the battle Hawkeye had to give her a pep talk, "babysits" her, when she was panicking because of the Ultron bots.
In civil war, she gets Vision who keeps her accompanied while she stays in Tony's house arrest and then there's Hawkeye who makes her understand that she has to get out to get rid of her fears regarding her powers.
In Avengers : Infinity War though, the directors make it clear that Wanda isn't alone at all when Natasha says "She's not alone" when Proxima Midnight says that she would die alone in vain. So, I think, it is save to assume that Natasha is Wanda's new mentor. (A/N : She's so lucky isn't she?)
In this movie, we also see Vision and Wanda in a romantic relationship, probably the first emotional relationship she has after the death of her brother and we know from the dialogues that they are pretty close to each other.
But destiny always has plans against her. To stop Thanos from wiping up half the universe someone has to destroy the mind stone, and Wanda is the only one who has the power to do that. But by doing that, she would also kill Vision, the only person, or more accurately, an android whom she has grown exceedingly close to. In the beginning she refuses and even asks Vision not to go back to Tony because she knew the mind stone had been warning him about some danger, here Thanos, that is about to arrive. Here we clearly know that, no matter what, Vision is always her first priority.
The Black Order too doesn't underestimate hed. They only invade Shuri's lab when she gets out in the field.
Even though she loves Vision, when time comes she realises what the right thing is to do no matter how much doing that would hurt her and she does that. This scene is entertaining to watch. She tries to destroy the stone with one hand while holds Thanos away by the other at a time when Thanos was wielding 5 stones already. At that point of time, Thanos was able to defeat Tony, Peter, Strange, the Guardians, Cap and Bruce in the Hulk-buster suit. Yet she is able to hold him back while she destroys the mind stone, and with it, the only one who means the world to her. She's stronger than what we thought her to be. And marvel is surely going to give us more of Scarlett Witch.
Also, even though she holds back Thanos and destroys the mind stone and proves to be one among the strongest avengers Thanos approaches her and calls her "My Child". This again reminds me of Hawkeye's babysitting comment back in Age Of Ultron, and is actually a reminder to us of the old scared Wanda and points out to her character development.
There it is, the character analysis of Wanda maximoff. I have to say, I wasn't too fond of her till Civil War. Infact, I kind of hated her for messing up with Tony's mind in AoU and for not realizing that Tony, though in a rough way(again, I won't say 'wrong way'), was trying to protect her in Civil War. But this movie really did its job, and I end up loving Wanda Maximoff!
Did you get the movie yet? I already have watched it twice in a span of 24 hours and I don't know how long it would be until I get enough of it! God, is there anyone out there like me who gets goosebumps even while watching the movie for the second and even the third time?! My mom probably thinks I'm crazy!
Anyways, I am only going to write about the mainstream character. Which means, I wont include characters like Okoye or Shuri here, because I really don't think there's enough to write on them. So if you guys want me to write about some specific character, comment it down so that I get enough time to think before I tyoe it down and then publish it.
So, bye till then!
Don't forget to comment what you think about this chapter and do tell me if you think I missed anything! I actually love to discuss the movies with you all!
