It’s safe to say that after her big evil reveal in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Scarlet Witch fans have never seen her in such a powerful position. Wanda was previously only seen moving and blasting objects with her Chaos Magic. In the original Disney+ series WandaVision, her abilities reached new heights when she reanimated an entire town and its people into a sitcom-like utopia where she and Vision could live as they chose, with children included. As Wanda Maximoff’s power grew tremendously and she sent her consciousness across several universes in search of one in which her children were real, this setting became more real than anybody could have anticipated.
Many viewers of Doctor Strange 2 were disappointed that Vision wasn’t included. The new white Vision, complete with all of the original’s data, is somewhere in the MCU. In addition, many people were taken aback to learn that Paul Bettany’s face had not been spotted in any world. If the new Vision were in better mental health, fewer people would have died trying to stop Wanda. Why wasn’t Vision more present given that the sorceress’ actions in the film were driven by sorrow? Finally, why wasn’t Wanda worried about reuniting with him and the kids?
Why Didn’t Wanda Look For Vision?
In Doctor Strange 2, Wanda ignored her cybernetic boyfriend because she was focused on something else. So great was her sorrow at losing Vision that she cast a hex on Westview in WandaVision, but why wasn’t Vision a part of the plan when she first set out on her rampage across the Multiverse? Motherly instinct may be to blame, as suggested by Elizabeth Olsen. The actress told Collider that even in the best of relationships, a mother’s priorities are her children, which is why she hasn’t been looking for Vision. Wanda may have finally accepted Vision’s death at the end of the Disney+ miniseries, but her children were very real to her in Westview. Losing them would be more heartbreaking than losing her lover, and it would destroy her moral compass. You should also remember that Wanda in the film was affected by the Darkhold. Her pain and fury were focused on one thing: retrieving her children; yet, that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t go looking for Vision as well.
