Hello. Hope all is well? :) Just wondering how Wanda's doing in RtC after the crap-fest that went down in one hand on my throat, and one on your heart?
Who’s late on responding to this? I am! Me!
She’s doing...surprisingly well, actually, and I think that kind of freaks her out. Wanda is definitely troubled by what she did to Amora - I don’t think it was really deliberate or thought out. She lost her temper - Amora, after all, violated both Steve and Pietro, caused the massive destruction in Latveria that killed a lot of people and led to the Accords, and kidnapped and tortured Loki to the point that Wanda had to more or less shut off his conscious mind to save him, without really knowing if it was something he could come back from or might be permanent.
At that moment, Wanda’s not in a great place. She’s pissed as hell, and she wants to bury Amora - so she does. And after it’s done, that anger lasts, along with the anxiety about Loki, for a while. But not forever, and as it wears off I think Wanda has to confront the fact that she did that. Up close, personally, she brutally killed someone (buried her alive), and she doesn’t regret it.
That terrifies her more than a little. I imagine she tries to keep it to herself for a while, but Pietro knows when something’s bothering her - but Pietro, of course, is going to absolve her. I think this is actually something Wanda would talk to Clint about. Clint was an assassin, after all.
And Clint’s answer is basically “look, if she’d gotten away she would’ve kept coming, and next time would’ve been worse. Don’t feel guilty for not feeling guilty.”
Which...doesn’t make the uncertainty about what this means about her go away, but it does help a little.
