Let’s Be Honest: Captain America: Civil War Is Overrated

Scarlet Witch Is Still Incredibly Boring And Pointless

When you think of Wanda Maximoff, you imagine a strong, powerful lady who’s able to hold her own against others in the Marvel universe and make them look like chumps. You certainly don’t think of a woman who looks and acts like she missed the casting call for 1996’s The Craft. Seriously, this character has been about as exciting as burnt toast with a slice of nothing in all her MCU appearances to date.

Now, we’re not sure if this blandness is due to Elizabeth Olsen’s inefficiencies as an actress or just how badly her character has been written, but Scarlet Witch is making us question if the wrong Maximoff sibling died. Not only is she boring AF, but she’s also incredibly emo. Has someone told her that it’s not 2007 anymore and Fall Out Boy is so passé?

Despite Wanda having a major part to play in the establishing of the Sokovia Accords, she’s pretty much insignificant for the rest of the film and her relationship with Vision fails to ignite. We’re not sure how, but she makes Vision look like the human and herself like the android.
