I dumped the entire first arc a while back but the second arc didn't really do it for me so lets just do the last chapter since it is ending today.

>>155673397
>>155673258This kind of both sides Wanda is never at fault nonsense is why I fell off this book a few name changes agoOrlando should not be allowed to write this character anymore for at least 5 years
>>155673409kind of a dick move if she is hiding on purpose
>>155673073SEX with Wanda, Clea and Amaranth
>>155673430>>155673416Yeah the Vishanti definitely had a justifiable reaction considering what has happened and what their job is. That being said given this line is seems like this might be Orlando's last Wanda book. Then we can answer question did no writer have a better pitch than him or does no writer actually want to write Wanda besides him.
>>155673463I'm guessing it's the latter I'm not gonna go to the bat too hard for Jamal Campbell's Zatanna but it's following a similar trajectory as this and at least it has actual conflicts
>>155673258what if Oshtur grabbed her and started licking Wanda's pussy through her clothes haha
>>155673463So, is Steve Orlando done with Wanda?He had plenty of chances
>>155673430The final page is Wanda about to ss a random kid. What the fuck Orlando?
>>155673572That thank you seems like it's a sign off. Plus "all time runs" feels like it is referencing his entire time with character. Surely it isn't just this book.
>>155673565That's too based
So how we feeling about Orlando's run?
>>155673430>kind of a dick move if she is hiding on purposeZdarky's declared he's trying to do the modern equivalent of Disassembled for the Avengers, so it's for the best if Wanda lays low for a while.>>155673463I think he'd already announced this was the end of the run. I appreciate someone finally writing Wanda as capable, competent and heroic again after years of Marvel mistreating her, but his run was at it's best in the minis with Pietro and Vision between the main runs, which hurt for their absence.It's sadly plausible that nobody else wants to write Wanda, and that the various relaunches of Orlando's run drove sales down enough that Marvel won't bother with a relaunch.Whatever happens next, I at least hope we finally get back to a traditional character model for Wanda and get her back with Vision like the last mini was doing, and we never see Turin again.
Meanwhile, Zee is a better sorcerer supreme than wanda and stephen
>>155673463To be fair the Vishanti have been assholes for a long time nowRemember when they were punishing Stephen by letting him think Loki had replaced him as Sorcerer Supreme?Or how they didn't intervene at all when Doom took over and refused to give the vestments back? Plus there's the shit with General Strange and how they betrayed him after the War of Seven Spheres...Wanda not trusting the Vishanti and taking the role for herself without permission is just a logical reaction to how they've been treating Stephen

>>155674152Zee wishes. She's a used out hole for Constantine, Nick Necro, Manchester Black and those 4 black dudes Tynion implied she had group sex with.
>>155676432Sure marcuckOr shall i SAY gwenschizo.
>>155673915overall it was pretty good, it would’ve liked to see more.
>>155673915Boring

>>155673627Welcome to the new Wanda
>>155673430>who are you, lady?>the witch that's going to ride your little broomstickJesus Christ Orlando
I've noticed rumors are rife that the MCU version is coming back this year or next, and I don't know if that will affect the comics if it happens. The comics have had a weirdly schizophrenic relationship with MCU Wanda, adopting almost everything around her but for better or worse very different from the MCU character in almost every way.>>155674127> It's sadly plausible that nobody else wants to write WandaIt used to be there were some writers who wanted to write her but didn't get to (Jim Zub was a big one) but the explosion of her fan base post-2021 has brought a lot of craziness directed against anyone who makes her not powerful enough, draws her too much like the MCU version, etc. Orlando has undoubtedly had to deal with fan insanity to be writing her for this long.In the end the problem though is she belongs on the Avengers, that's where her home and her family and almost all her history is, plus it's where the writer isn't allowed to make her too powerful. Unfortunately it was clear she was only on Mackay's team for popularity reasons and did nothing.I don't think I've ever seen a plausible premise for a Scarlet Witch star vehicle except "living in the suburbs with Vision" which of course they are not allowed to do.
>>155673365They should reference summoning a meteor more often
>>155677760Living in the suburbs with Vision anon you are one of thirty people on the planet that want that. I don't hate them as a couple but man that pairing was never that good.
>>155679164Nobody has to like it, but that's the premise of the most popular piece of media either character has ever starred in. The most popular comic Vision starred in is him trying to literally re-created the story of living in the suburbs with Wanda, except with a robot who has Wanda's brainwaves.That's just what they're best known for, being a couple and wanting to live a "normal" life in a house. It might change but it hasn't yet.
>>155673115The narration boxes not remotely being placed to match the people they describe is weird.
>Scarlet Witch #1-10 (2023)>Scarlet Witch Annual #1 (2023)>Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver 1 #1-4 (2024)>Scarlet Witch Vol. 4 #1-10 (2024-2025)>Vision and the Scarlet Witch Vol. 3 #1-5 (2025)>Sorcerer Supreme #1-10 (2025-2026)How long before Scarlet Witch by Orlando omnibus?Would his run have been better had it been allowed to be one 40 issue volume instead of relaunching it every year?
>>155674127I agree with minis comment. Her interactions with characters established in her history has been pretty great. Wanda stomping damn near everyone in one page did get old while ago. Especially since it seemed like Only Orlando's OCs and Agatha could actually pressure Wanda.>>155677760Orlando was probably pressured into the power level stuff. He did get shit on all over twitter because he wrote that wanda couldn't easily ressurect herself when Greiver exploded her. Also he seemingly avoided a lot of the "chosen father" shit they pushing with Magneto. The guy only showed up one time and it was to be a dick to Pietro.
>>155680061In his qna on bsky the dude seemed exhausted with all the Wanda fans
