By the end of it, maybe she's back in a place where she's not a danger, maybe she isn't.  It is a distinct possibility that she becomes a major antagonist in Multiverse of Madness.Let me try another approach for a second...During the first few phases of the MCU, Tony Stark was the poster child for "what happens when you don't deal with trauma".  His arc of dealing with this issue resolved, and, RDJ isn't in the shows anymore. They have shifted that role to Wanda.  You can expect much of her remaining character arc to be the same - dealing with trauma.  Her arc isn't done.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?</blockquote>
