ur kidding right? cz it’s equally rotten in my opinion. What bothers me is the need to paint Wanda in specific as villain by justifying Druig’s act as ‘safer’ and less ‘selfish’. There’s alot we don’t know about the folks at Druigs village to deduce, we know the mind control is not constant but did these people know what they were in for? Were they a cult that willingly followed Druig sharing his beliefs of mankind and humanity? Did they consent to him mentally doing whatever he wants anytime he wants to them? Is there a line drawn that Druig himself doesn’t cross? It took some heavy convincing by Sersi for him to let them go to safety which he eventually obliged. Those under Druig’s influence seemed fine before and after and it showed they weren’t under his influence incessantly but Druig did put them in the line of harm without question, having them try to face off with a deviant using rifles when he should’ve evacuated them first thing the attack started, even Sersi resorted to keeping them safe first and foremost. She thought her hex gave them the same perfect fantasy life she got. EP8 made a point to showcase her driving through westview town center so we could have a juxtaposition of their normal lives to the exaggerated and elevated version of Wanda’s sitcom Hex. When she was at least ‘aware’, she thought she gave everyone the perfect life she gave herself. This notion she did it for herself is a bit skewed, she let herself be carried away cz it numbed her pain, she didnt even knw wtf was going on at first. You could argue Wanda’s method caused significant mental trauma and pain to those involved but she was not aware, she genuinely thought it was a win-win for everyone like it was for her at first but the moment she knew, she immediately let them go. Like, I'll agree that Wanda did a bad thing, but I'm tired of seeing people give everyone else in the MCU a pass for very comparable things while calling Wanda "selfish" and "a villain."īoth are wrong in my eyes as a whole but looking deep into both you could see what separates them albeit by a hair strand. I mean, after Doctor Strange's "What If" episode, everybody was saying "He wasn't really a bad guy, he was just grieving." So why is him losing his girlfriend in a car crash so much more understandable than Wanda having to literally murder her own boyfriend, only have have him resurrected and murdered in front of her 2 minutes later? I think people are way too hard on Wanda in general. Isn't that just as selfish a reason as wanting to keep your family? Sure he was doing it to "save them from themselves," but you could also say he was trying to alleviate his own guilt. Sure it took her a while to snap out of it and release them, but she ultimately released them and eliminated the hex at great personal sacrifice.ĭruig decided to take away some people's free will because he believed that he knew what was best for humanity. She believed that she was making life easier for the people under her control until Agatha released them. I have a hard time calling Wanda "Selfish" when she wasn't fully aware of what her powers were doing until the very end of her series. If anything i’d compare the two as two “opposites” of the same power, the act of selfishness of Wanda’s compared to the selfless act of wanting to save the humans from themselves.Įthically, they’re both wrong but saying we are martyring Druig for what he did while hating on wanda when she did the same sounds a little ridiculous to me. She is asked to stop by many characters more than once but she refuses to until she understands she was “”””defeated””” The only moments where the illusion breaks we see them begging for the torture to stop. She created her own perfect illusion in which she traps them and they are always mind controlled, they’re never actually free. On the other hand, Wanda took hostage a whole community cause SHE was having a hard time grieving her deceased boyfriend. Now, morally it’s not right and he knows deep down even tho he denies it up until the point where Sersi tells him to let them go and…he does it right away.Īlso if you noticed, his people are not always mind controlled, they do have free will in periods of peace. He did it to give them a better chance at a good life and the act itself was pretty selfless. To be honest i find this comparison borderline idiotic.ĭruig controlled those people to save them from themselves as he was drained after YEARS of seeing millions of people that he could have potentially saved die in front of him. I read this on a twitter post and i would like to hear your opinions about it.
