Sorry for the long-ish read; it looks a lot smaller while typing on a computer. THIS IS AN INDIRECT CAUSE AND EFFECT - Wanda doesn't really care about Peter; this is more of a possible reason why these things are happening.

My theory is that Peter suddenly having organic webs in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is not just some random power upgrade. Right? In House of M, Peter Parker is still known as Spider-Man, but after Wanda rewrites reality, the world basically treats him like he’s a mutant. His whole life is different: he’s famous, Uncle Ben is alive, he’s married to Gwen Stacy, and he has the life he was never supposed to have. But the crazy part is that Peter’s real secret in that world is that he was never actually a mutant, everyone just believes he is because of Wanda’s reality rewrite. So what if the MCU is doing a version of that, where Wanda’s magic has already started changing how people’s powers and origins work?

That would make Peter’s organic webs feel way more important than just “oh, he can shoot webs now.” It could be the first sign that Wanda’s spell, death, return, or chaos magic fallout is awakening dormant mutant genes or rewriting certain enhanced people into something closer to mutants. This makes sense because after Wanda collapses Mount Wundagore on herself in MoM, she indirectly changed Peter Parker’s biology. Wanda Maximoff and potentially Hulk are the only people in the MCU who know his true identity anyway, so it connects even further. And if the Jean Grey rumors are true, or if mutants are being introduced through Brand New Day, then Peter changing biologically could be the first hint that the mutant era already started before anyone even realizes it. Then Vision Quest could be where we finally get the context for what Wanda actually did or how she’s coming back.

This theory works because it connects to already running theories of Wanda causing some sort of reality rewrite. Because essentially in post-House of M and Decimation, the Scarlet Witch literally caused a Marvel reset. We know that Doctor Strange already did the spell, but I’m not talking about his identity. I’m talking about how Marvel might take on the play that the world thinks he’s a mutant. If his webs are truly organic, then I think this would work, and if there’s any sort of civil war, then it would play out perfectly. However, the only reason why I think this theory should be false is because why would Marvel waste such a good movie opportunity with the Scarlet Witch? Why would you retcon all of these potential movie opportunities behind the scenes? Also, I just finished House of M, and that’s where I’m getting all this inspiration, but after watching the Spider-Man Brand New Day trailer, it immediately made me think of this event. I feel like I had some ideas connecting this all together, but I’m having lapses in memory, so this’ll do. What do y’all think?

Ok, so as the title says I’m watching WandaVision and I found out that each ad represented a traumatic event in Wanda’s life that she was expressing. I’m on episode 5 with the Lagos paper towels and I was like “has this always been happening?” Because I didn’t know until this episode. I still think it’s unfair that Wanda is blamed for Lagos because obviously she was acting in the heat of the moment and tried her best and did the most for the people out of the Avengers there, and still was blamed over the others. Anyway, thought this was cool and just wanted to share, by far the best series Marvel has dropped, Loki is a close 2nd though.

Not gonna lie, Wanda’s power origin in the MCU has always felt kinda inconsistent to me.

At first it seemed like the Mind Stone was basically the source of her powers, but then later it turned into “actually it just activated powers she already had.” That already feels like a retcon, but the part that bugs me most is her beating Vision too.

If both of them are tied to the Mind Stone, why does Wanda come off way stronger? It just makes the whole thing feel like the rules change depending on what the plot needs. I’m not saying Wanda sucks or anything, but this part of her character has always felt kind of messy to me.

Anyone else think this is off, or am I reading too much into it?

And was surprised by how good it was. I’d been put off by the first few episodes so I started with Ep. 4. The characters and sets and writing really drew me in.
I’d watched Multiverse of Madness the day before and felt no sympathy for Wanda, but after the show I felt her pain a lot more, and the complexity of her love for Vision.
And now I know who the White Vision is, and understand Agatha Harkness better than I did from “Agatha All Along”.
Plus, Agent Woo! Good stuff.
