I can understand Vision thinking that Wanda set up the obstacles for he and Darcy just like he thought she made Pietro appear, but HOW did any viewer get the impression that Wanda was the villain? Any time Wanda began to question reality “Agnes” would distract her. Same goes for when Wanda and Vis would try to discuss what was going on. Wanda’s told two people so far that she doesn’t know how she did it. She felt alone and then woke up in Westview’s simple black and white reality.

From her introduction it was made clear that Wanda’s repressing her issues and running on anger and a sense of purpose made her vulnerable to being puppeteered by an offer of peace. All of the good Maximoff cut scenes and a few other ones from AoU made it clear that Sokovia didn’t want the Avengers’ help and viewed them as fascist invaders and that the twins were using their powers to help. Everyone who goes back to the “Wanda tried to destroy the Avengers and was responsible for the Sokovia crater” seems to forget that she was manipulated by a robot made from two geniuses with a boost from one sixth of the greatest power in the universe (thus far). And that the second she was able to read his mind she defected to the Avengers because she realized she hadn’t been seeing the bigger picture and that even if they didn’t trust her she had to try to warn them. And she later killed the only person she had left in her life to save everyone only in her exhaustion to see Vis’ bravery be for nothing and have to watch him be murdered in cold virbranium. Next we see of her (after a guy four times her size slapped her through the air since she tried to body block Vis after draining herself emotionally and likely in terms of power by destroying one infinity stone and holding off the others) she’s cradling his body. Then she gets the chance to wreck Thanos and see a big funeral for Tony, nothing for Vis, and presumably from the S.W.O.R.D. footage next time she sees Vis his will is being violated. A will she was likely aware of since they’d spend time in his mind together and he could feel her touch specifically in there (“I only feel you”… also that came out dirtier than planned). It’s also worth noting that none of the agents she walked past moved, suggesting she used her mental powers to kee them out of her/harm’s way and it’s wasn’t until she saw the dismembered body that we see people moving away from her because she likely wanted them afraid of her. Fear seems to be her main means of defence against Monica and Hayward since Wanda probably doesn’t want to fight anymore.

I’ve even seen a few “oh she’s working with Agatha” posts despite Agatha making it explicitly clear that Wanda didn’t know about Agatha’s being the “other magical girl in town”. I try to avoid using feminist jargon when talking about nerdy things because some fanboys ATTACK for pointing out the misogyny as readily as some feminists do when a person tries to explain the positives in comics which don’t meet their intersectionality checklist. That being said, the fandom’s misogyny at Wanda has been insane ever since he power over the mind stone began to suggest that she out powered Thor or Hulk despite lacking muscles to hit things hard with and gaining her greatest power up in rage moment. Wait. How does Banner transform into his invincible mode again? And what’s the secret to upping his physical punching power level again? Wanda’s powers are literally her willing things to happen, so bloodlust yielding incredible destructive power makes perfect sense. Monica called out Wanda (and hinted to the audience) that Wanda must know she’s an ally which is why she shielded her in her way out of the Hex and why she stopped pulling the rover in the instant Monica was out of it. The “you’re still here” line followed by the display of power without any use of it makes it clear (to me at least) that Wanda, like she said to Dottie “[doesn’t] mean anyone any harm”. If she could dust Ultron bots she could have just done that to the army at her doorstep (not at all a reminder of the begins of her years of trauma).

Wanda is an Avenger. She’s not a villain.

But your destiny was chosen for you, without your input!

Warner Brothers: releases Birds of Prey in the month where studios historically release the movies they think won't perform well because box office numbers tend to be very low

Birds of Prey: does pretty well opening weekend regardless, but not as well as it might have at a different time (or without comic book fatigue starting to set in post-2019)

Literally Every Movie Reporting Site: Birds of Prey is a box office failure. is it because women?

V7 SMILING BLAKE MASTERPOST

Because I fucking can.

anyways… schneeblings

You know what really grinds my gears about Ironwood’s bootlickers? The ones that say, “Well, you can’t save everyone” or “It’s a morally grey dilemma.” You know who are the ones that’ll be saved if he goes through with his plan? The rich, egotistical snobs who couldn’t care less about the state of Remnant.

And you know who he’s sacrificing? The poor and the downtrodden in Mantle he was supposed to have been protecting.

Saving a bunch of rich people and condemning the poor to death is not morally grey. 

Someone Hug Weiss

I paid more attention to her body language during James’s breakdown, and I just...

She’s constantly shirking away, even when she’s trying to be brave.

Weiss is so damn scared...

And I can’t help but feel it’s because she’s seen this from someone else.

Weiss is practically crying when she finds out what is about to happen to Winter...

That line from Chapter 3– “I remember how furious [this accident] made my father” —made me think Jacques’s abuse likely extended to physical on multiple occasions, and this scene definitely adds to that.

Because Weiss has definitely seen James as a father figure at times, and when he’s angry, or just unstable... she physically distances herself from him while trying to seem like less of a target.

This scene was traumatic for ALL of team RWBY; everyone was facing down a past struggle in that moment.

;-;

NOW SHOW ME THE GOOD YOU’VE DONE. 

jaune is so fucking cute im dropping my uwus everywhere

I’m actually so fucking depressed right now and wish I had something to make my life feel worth holding on to. Like I’m im a bio lab and could not care any less.
