Two characters I love and a really odd concept, excited for this one.

I realise today after reading a backlog of comics just how much of a dirty they did to scarlett witch in the movies.
She's a central plot point in a lot of marvel events with real all encompassing power and they kind of don't do anything with her in the movies. She just ends up being just 'another super hero'.
I think this shows going to end up being pretty marmite to viewers but good that disney are prepared to do something a bit off the wall.

This is because when she was introduced, MCU weren't allowed to alude to any of their characters as being mutants, this was firmly owned by the Fox camp. As such she became a sort of B list background hero created due to infinity stones shenanigans.
Shame because as you said, she is a major player in the comics, especially considering her father.

I liked the trailer. Looked like a relatively fresh concept in an otherwise tiring genre. Hope it lives up to the hype.

Did I see her wearing the comic book outfit?
And not forgetting her being 'enhanced' by a demonic elder God at birth. That said, the movies would've been very short if someone just said, "Wanda, go sort out Thanos. He's up to something".

There was some serious talk a while back about making SW much more central to the MCU because the audience likes Elisabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch much more than they like Brie Larson's Captain Marvel.
I know nothing about this series, so I just watched the trailer.

That seems sensible. Brie Larson's Captain Marvel has been a thoroughly unlikable character thus far. Would be happy if they binned the character for Scarlet Witch's promotion. I think someone said she will feature in the next Doctor Strange movie.

On a totally different note, still the MCU mind, Tatiana Maslany has been cast as She Hulk. Great bit of casting that.

I like both actors and both characters so, despite the oddity factor and my rapidly waning excitement for the MCU post EndGame, I'll give it ago.

Second trailer for this was launched with the others yesterday
