I think lot of people overlook the extent of Wanda’s trauma. She and Pietro grew up in an extremely poor Eastern European country (as someone from the Eastern Europe, I can tell you it is far from great in itself). She lost her parents at age of 10, and for several days she and Pietro were in ruins, just one move from being blown up. They ended up in an orphanage, which again, judging by the standards of those in poor Eastern European countries with military conflicts, had to be traumatising.
Then Hydra started a war in their country, and twins didn’t radicalise, they were standing up for their country, for freedom. Hydra came, presenting themselves as good guys who could help, and twins were one of many volunteers who were fighting for freedom. they were experimented on (which again, traumatising).
Then, Pietro died, and Wanda felt it. She wanted and was gonna die right after, if not for Vision.
Then, while protecting Steve Rogers, she on accident killed innocent people, and the world called her a terrorist, a weapon, among other things (funny since every avenger at some point took a life, innocent or not).
Wanda was placed in Raft, in a straight-jacket and with a collar (which I assume was an electroshock one to subdue her in case she used her powers) and was held there for at least days.
She was hunted. She saw Vision nearly die from Thanos’ henchmen, she was nearly killed as well, many times (both by Ultron and Thanos’ minions).
She had to kill the only close person she had, the love of her life. She then had to watch Thanos resurrect and kill him. She was a victim of The Snap/The Blip. When she came back, she found out Vision was still dead, along with Natasha with whom she bonded previously. From what we know, no one even stayed with her from all of the Avengers, so she was all alone.
And then, after everything, she found out SWORD had Visions’ body. They were experimenting on it, trying to make him into a weapon.
While in the Hex, SWORD also tried to kill her at least twice now. (Murder Squad & Missile).
Not to mention, nearly the entirety of Age of Ultron Wanda was under Ultron’s control (he was giving orders), in Civil War it was Steve Rogers and Clint Barton who gave her orders, and in the Hex it seems like Agnes/Agatha is manipulating her as well, so.
It just makes me angry to see people say she’s crazy, or should “pull her shit together” or villainizing her for creating the Hex/hurting Monica, Darcy or whoever. Like??? Loki did worse, Hela did worse, Bucky did worse, Thor did worse, Gamora did worse, Nebula did worse, yet I don’t see nearly as much hate on them as I see on Wanda. What, someone can’t handle a female, not-american character being one of the most powerful characters in the MCU?
