After a few days to think about it and a rewatch, I still feel the same about the finale and show as whole as I did when the finale aired:
WandaVision makes a lot more sense if it's a setup for a villain/antagonist story.
Because there's just no washing away the horrible things Wanda's done, and continues to do. They've hit this "Wanda does bad things but she really didn't mean it oh super tragic" story beat multiple times now. And it's like...shit or get off the pot, there's really no justification for it. I'm sorry, but her grief doesn't cut it when she's literally torturing a town full of people. Vision is technically still alive, and the kids ARE fake. You don't get to use the kids as some ex post facto excuse for torturing a town full of people.
WandaVision made me understand Wanda; it did not make me sympathize with her. And that's a pretty damn good setup for a villain (or a misguided antagonist, which Wanda has already been). I just really don't see the MCU going through with it; it really felt like, through Monica, the show just wants to gloss over that Wanda essentially created a human rights atrocity that only ended because an evil witch rolled through town and trolled her.
Exactly. I know everyone wants wiccan and speed, but they're fake. They were never real. Neither was Vision. People go through loss all the fuckin' time, especially because of Covid. It doesn't give them the right to hold a town hostage. And we're just supposed to go "welp, that's what happens." I don't blame Lagos on Wanda. That was Crossbone's fault. I do blame what happened in Africa, and Westview, on her. She's not a hero, and maybe she never was. I...kind of feel like Agatha was the better person, between the two of them. (Vision is the hero. Man's fuckin' dying, and all he does is beg sword to help the people)
