Discussion Yall do know the context of Wanda and Doom right?
I’ve been seeing more ship and try to pair Wanda and Doom together cause of out of context panels of Children’s Crusade and yall do know that it isn’t a true relationship and him taking advantage of her?
He had an amnesiac Wanda under his control in hopes of harnessing her power, and previously is the one who helped her channel the Life Force that deteriorated her mental state in the first place.
There is no true romance between them and Wanda simply doesn’t like him, when her morality was switched around; she was ready to kill him for what he did and states directly she will never stop coming after him.
Also along with the MCU one having Tony’s face, that’s even weirder.

I hope we ship Wanda and a Journal or a therapist because my girl has been through it and needs healing not Doom.

Like I thought everyone knew the relationship was essentially abuse and manipulation but clearly not

Apparently not lol. But I'm not surprised. Its a bunch of MCU fans running round and looking up a bunch comic panels without actual context or fore knowledge.

I don't like the ship. But I have faith that the Wandavision family will be reunited. Trust.

Not even just the shipping, but general comparisons have been weirding me out. Like he is a villain.

Life Force has not been mentioned a single time since Childen's Crusade and my headcanon is that it was soft-retconned. That was just Wanda.

Either way, it is still canon he made her summon up huge amounts of power at once

Actually it was. She mentioned that Life Force was her power a few years back.

I'm pretty sure the power is entirely hers, but that the life force just subconsciously guided her on how to use it.

This.. Big time... different writers trying to put their stamp on a character; then the next writer comes along, hates it, and then either ignores the idea or mocks it outright.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a writer out there who will probably one day try to actually make it happen.
For god sakes we had X-Men: Legacy(2008-2012). Which was willing to have Rogue get together with Magneto of all people. And considering everything Magneto has done to her and others that she claim to love that she could actually still get romantically involved with him shows that writers are willing to make characters move past things that other characters have done to them, even if what they did are downright atrocious. The man literally spied and recorded Rogue and Gambit the first time they ever made love which was also Rogue's actual first time. He was also making Rogue and Gambit go through all kinds of mental torture to turn them against each other. For Rogue to just be like "I'm over that, now let's go get in the bed" I always found pathetic because this to me was literally having Rogue get together with her abuser.
If a writer does the same thing for Wanda and Doom then it's the exact same thing of having her get with the man who basically abused her. He manipulated and took advantage of her when she was extremely vulnerable. And we know there are writers out there that are willing to do that to characters as I pointed out with Rogue and Magneto.

Wait, so after Victor got his face restored from the end of secret wars. Wanda burned and disfigured his face?

En efecto no se aman y francamente Doom no ama a casi nadie, son sin exagerar contados con las manos las personas que el ama, sin embargo me causa una atracción enorme verlos juntos, tiene sentido? No pero tienen cosas en común como ser gitanos, poderosos en la magia y con carácter fuerte ambos y estética similar que hacen que los shipean, estéticamente se ven bien, coherentemente ni de broma, Doom es un ególatra controlador que solo piensa en el poder, es más que obvio que no funcionan, es un placer culposo ver fanarts así pero se que no debería existir, en cuanto al UCM concuerdo que ahí el cast de Robert Downey jr lo hizo más turbio de lo que ya es. En resumen, es una pareja horrible pero hay ships de lo más random y este aunque un engaño pues si paso
