[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8672632, member: 5889"] Agreed. Its not paint by numbers, but everything is there for you to connect the dots if you want to believe. Darkhold opens up Wanda to alternate dimensions, Wanda starts seeing (hearing) her kids from alternate dimensions (which is what we see in Wandavision). Darkhold keeps taking her further....only [I]she [/I]can protect the children, it is her [I]right [/I]to have them, etc. While I will agree that Wanda's heel turn does seem a bit too quick (though in terms of time passing, like a year and a half I believe, its actually not that slow), I do think the Darkhold provides whatever narrative boost you need to get Wanda to villain. If you were already on the train that says Wanda was going villain anyway, the Darkhold gave her a nudge. If you think she was on the redemptive path....the book gave her a shove. You could argue that we have already done the trope of "Wanda being manipulated by outside forces", and I can respect that....but the book really does allow you to get Wanda as low as you want her to go. In short summary, I can respect the argument, "This character arc with Wanda is stupid and contrived". But I don't respect the argument, "Wanda would never do that...even though she is under the influence of a super evil, super corrupting book for more than a year" [/QUOTE]
