They ruined all characters involved in this mess. Phase bore cant end quick enough. Political messaging needs to be driven out and these nothing character's who are pure tokens to ideology need to be dumped.

    Elizabeth Olsen is the perfect actress to play the role of Wanda Maximoff aka The Scarlet Witch, everytime she moves her hands, you can't help but look at them with astonished jaw-dropped amazement. Her hands have different fan base and along with her crown ( WandaVision to DS2MOM ) like Doctor Strange cloak of levitation. The very first time I've seen her character in Age of Ultron was the start of my obsession of her being Wanda Maximoff aka The Scarlet Witch and to my knowledge was a big impact from the comics : House of M that made me adored her more ( truly there's a lot of wonderful characters on marvel universe comics but this chaos magic was a different interest for me ) and she's such a great along with the people bTs ( behind the scenes ) that were involved who built and made the Scarlet Witch / Wanda Maximoff characters and made life to it to the big screen and the tv screens or phone screens. She's such a Wandaful / Wonderful fascinating character that needs more appreciations.

      Something you Got to keep in mind is a difference between consequence and repercussion, One could argue she didn’t experience any repercussion but that doesn’t mean that she didn’t experience consequences, consequences can be positive neutral or negative, and a consequence of her actions for example is everyone in town hating her, living with the guilt for the rest of her life, and losing the love of her life three times even if two of those times wasn’t in the show.
