lizzie olsenโs white ass saying that sheย โfoughtโ to wear a costume/headdress based on wandaโs romani background and literally referring to it as aย โgypsy thingโ is why exactly yall need to stop supporting white people when they steal roles from romani actors. gadje donโt treat us like an actual people, with our own language and history and traditions. they rarely ever touch on the violence and oppression we experience ESPECIALLY IN EUROPE. weโre a costume to gadje. weโre something cutesy and quirky that they can slip on for halloween or for their shitty marvel shows and then take off because at the end of the day theyโre gadje, always white ones at that. meanwhile in europe, actual romani donโt receive aid from local governments during pandemics and are subject to brutal violence from police.ย
like this is a roundabout way of me saying stop supporting the wendysiri show, but likeโฆโฆโฆstop supporting the wendysiri show.
Iโm gonna be keeping this as short as possible, so letโs get started.
Wanda Maximoff was the Roma-Jewish daughter of two Holocaust survivors for the majority of her comic book history. Recently, her being Magneto and Magda's daughter was retconned away, but she's still Roma. She's still Jewish.
And at the time that Age of Ultron was being developed, at the time that the MCU was planning on introducing Wanda and Pietro โโ they were the Roma Jewish children of two Holocaust survivors. You may notice that I'm repeating those three facts a lot. It's because they're important.
While Aaron Taylor Johnson may be Jewish, he isn't Roma. Elizabeth Olsen isn't Roma or Jewish. They're both white, too, which comic book Wanda and Pietro tend to not be.
No matter what way you look at it, there's one basic fact here: the MCU white-washed these characters. But, hey, that's not something new for them; the Ancient One in Doctor Strange is portrayed by a white woman; Peter Parker is a glorified white-washed Miles Morales.
Wanda and Pietro only get worse from here. That's the biggest problem I have, and I'm already pissed off at the white-washing; it gets worse than that.
In Age of Ultron, Pietro and Wanda, who are based off the Roma-Jewish children of Holocaust survivors, willing sign up to work with HYDRA, a neo-Nazi organization.
I want you to read that sentence again. I want you to take it in.
There's no version of this where that's okay. I know that Age of Ultron makes it clear that they didn't know what they were getting into... but the writers did. The director did. MARVEL did. Everyone on that movie knew that these characters, these Jewish, Roma, characters, were joining a Nazi organization.
I should not have to explain how overwhelmingly anti-Semitic that is. I should not have to tell a single one of you why that should make you sick to your stomach.
And, god, it doesn't stop there. You might have noticed that I specified Wanda up above and that's not because the portrayal of Pietro is in the clear; it's just because one of these characters is still alive. One of them is still being an absolutely disgusting example of blatant anti-Semitism.
The MCU has used set design to imply that Wanda is a Christian. There hasn't been a single mention to her Jewish heritage, not one hint of that, but we still can manage to put a few crosses in her room? What the actual fuck, MARVEL?
I do want to get ahead of one thing before I see somebody start in the comments: Elizabeth Olsen is not innocent in this. Repeat after me: Elizabeth Olsen is not innocent in this.
It doesn't matter if she didn't know she was taking on a white-washed role in Age of Ultron, but she sure as hell knows it now. She's profiting off of this. There was no contractual obligation for her to do Wandavision; that was her choice to continue this character.
This woman has used slurs, as well, to describe Wanda. She, Renner and Ruffolo chanted a slur. Stop defending Olsen and start accepting that your favourite white girl is a terrible person.
There's still more to this. Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor Johnson have, in an official interview, said that they played Wanda and Pietro's relationship has incestuous 'just for them'. If literally, everything else that's been said here hasn't hit you that this woman is the worst, maybe that'll finally do it for you.
If you support MCU Wanda, you're anti-Semitic. If you support Elizabeth Olsen, you're anti-Semitic. If you support Wandavision, you're anti-Semitic. You don't get a way out of this.
Cassie and Bruce used to explore the caves under Wayne Manor when they were kids so, in theory, Cassie does know the location of the Batcave. Sheโs just never thought that Bruce would go back to the creepy caves and build a superhero base.
She was in a poly relationship with John Constantine, Nick Necro & Zatanna Zatara, but sheโd been dating Zee for a year before she got with the other two.
Sheโs allergic to bananas.
I think putting her and Vic Sage in the same room would be really funny.
In a happier universe, she and Bruce do end up get married. You know how Bruce has an issue with adoption? Cassie is infinitely worse. A kid gives Cassie puppy dogs eyes and she starts filing the adoption papers. Theyโd have a huge family and itโd make Cassie so happy.
For years, Cassie has had herself at the top of her priorities, but Bruce quickly takes the number one spot.
This oneโs technically a spoiler, but Alan Scott is her godfather. There was a lot of drama between her parents and Alan that led to them all cutting each other off completely, but that happened after she was born. And while Alan might be a complete bastard, he still tries to look out for her when he can. She does not make it easy.
CassieBruce are so incredibly adorable together and they love going on picnics. Usually somewhere on Bruceโs property, far away from prying eyes.
When they were kids, Bruce and Cassie used to find stray kittens in the woods around Wayne Manor and would immediately launch a rescue mission. Operation: Save Kitties was always a success.
Cassie hates Tommy Elliot. So much. Like, back when she and Bruce were kids, she got that they were friends, but sheโd punch Tommy without hesitation.
Sheโs got a big ole crush on Selina Kyle, unsurprisingly.

Ana loves anything cherry flavoured. Like, when sheโs mad at somebody, but they bring her cherry things? Sheโs gonna forgive them. They wonโt know sheโs forgiven them, because she has a reputation, goddamnit, but she has.
Sheโs literally the softest person ever, but the list of people who actually know that & acknowledge it is... Gar, Rose, Dick and Kory. Anaโs so mean all of the time, to literally everyone, and she puts on a great act of confidence, but, like, for pretty much the entire story, sheโs having a breakdown.
She gets attached to people really easily & the most obvious example is Gar & Rachel. She only knew them for a few months, but she still (spoilers) sold her soul to the devil for them. If it means their safe, who cares, you know? (Apparently, a lot of people do).
She tried to learn Kryptonian for Conner. It didnโt work, because she had Kory teaching her in the middle of everything going down in season 2 plus all of Anaโs own shit, but there was an attempt!
Babs has... issues with Ana that mainly stem from her family which, like, valid. Anaโs family is The Worst.
Years in the future, I imagine Christmas with the Wilsons being the most chaotic thing ever. Like, Joey brings Terrance, Rose brings Ana and Slade brings spite. Itโs such a mess. Slade and Ana are locked in an endless competition of who can buy the most expensive gifts. Rose thinks itโs hilarious.
