So, Wandavision?

Years later I walked in and took a peek and there were like 12 Spidermen, which I think is that Clone Saga you are mentioning.

Were they variations on Spider-Man? Then it was the Spider-Verse stuff.

It's apparently both. The Marvel Cinematic Universe Fandom site lists it as an American extragovernmental organization overseen by the World Security Council. SHIELD does seen very America focused, even though it does do world affairs.

Note that the "World Security Council" is not associated with the UN, or anything official like that. It is a handful of politicians from various powerful countries.

Err, everyone except us geeks, would say that Greenland is European - its been associated with Scandinavia for more than a millennium

I am sorry. You're just wrong on this one.

No, this is not the action of a healthy mind. That's what we've been trying to tell you. Her psyche is pretty broken.

I understand this. Did she get all better by the end?

Presumably that will be covered when she next appears in an episode of the MCU

The MCU (and the comics) have a problem, in that trauma-driven drama can be compelling and exciting and relatable. It makes for good movies and TV. Our entire real-world culture generally fails to deal with mental health issues constructively. Why is it somehow strange to you that in our bigger-than-life fictions, they also have issues dealing with mental health?

My issue is they don't address mental health in a responsible way. If I am supposed to believe that Wanda is loopy-loop and therefore not morally responsible (not sure about that last, but whatever) then it's terrible that she just goes on her way, no treatment, and no mental health issues even being addressed. "Wait, I'm all better now," by the show's last five minutes is just lame, and kind of infantalizes the character, because if the writers are trying to make the case that she's got a handle on her grief now, after all that she's done, then it makes what she did seem more like a tantrum than a real issue needing therapy.

I sort of doubt it. Tony never did, did he? It's not the Marvel way, it seems.

Political ownership does not matter when it comes to physical location. Are you also going to say all the former British colonies were also European when they were not yet independent? Is Canada also European because they are still technically part of the British Empire?

Besides, go back and read the part of your post that I quoted. You did not say Greenland was European, you said it was in Europe. I do not see that when I look at a map.

Yes and we were referring to the jurisdiction of SHIELD/Avengers to operate outside of the USA. Jurisdiction is an entirely political concept not geographic, for the sake of Avengers authority to act in Greenland, Greenland is a self governing country under the sovereignty of a European state,

but this indeed is why I love geek pedantry

Name one super hero movie/show that does this and i'll be impressed....
