So, Wandavision?

[Wolfram stout]

Finally managed to see the last episode.

I think I may have missed something. The SWORD director is a dick, but I didn’t understand why the FBI arrested him at the end? He was working to stop a threat which was mind controlling an entire town, which is his job, no? Did he do something illegal that I may have missed or forgotten?

I think his whole rebuilding Vision project was unsanctioned. Not that he kept it too secret, but that was the impression that I got as to why he was arrested.

I think he faked footage of Wanda stealing Visions body as an excuse to go in and either capture or kill the hex Vision.

He falsified evidence against Wanda, and used that evidence to justify use of deadly force against her.

Aha! Yes! The fake video of her stealing Vision's body! That was it!

A thing they don't talk about - Vision was not a human being, so there's a huge question about his legal status. If he had status as a person, then without concent of Vision or next-of-kin, what Heywood was doing was very illegal.

It would definitely provide evidence of premeditation in whatever other crime he was tagged with (presumably, attempted murder).

and if he wasn't a person, he was the property of Wanda and/or Tony Stark, and Heyward was stealing her property by holding it and vandalizing it by dismantling it. Either way, Crimey Heyward's going to jail.

I would have hoped, however, Sir Patrick Stewart would have mounted a social media movement after Vision's death to recognize Vision's post-humous personhood. Video clips and memes flooded the internet featuring his famous argument for Data.

There was mention that "resurrecting" Vision was both a violation of his living will and the Sokovia Accords at one point

Yes, and if the latter isn't menacing in its own right, I don't know what is.

 

[Janx]

Also, upsetting a super-person so you can harvest their wingdings when they super-freak out ought to be a crime. That's incitement.
