Episode 8: Wanda Maximoff is a GD Mess [Scarlet Witch Double Episode Part 1]

Welcome to Up Your Nerd Cred! This week, we’re diving deep into the chaos storm that is Wanda Maximoff’s origin story.

Was she born on Wundagore Mountain (with a cow midwife, no less)? Is Magneto her dad? Wait, is he not? Wait do mutants run everything? Wait, where'd all the mutants go? Scarlet Witch has had more backstories than most characters have costumes... And Janet Van Dyne was her coworker!

We’re breaking down every retcon, every heartbreak, every weird editorial decision—and asking: is she a good witch, a bad witch, or just Marvel’s most powerful emotional time bomb?

Also: could we possibly work on the relationship status with therapy? Are her kids magic, reincarnated, or did she have a really awkward conversation with Kaplans and Shepards? And girl, I get missing Vision, but Wonder Man?

And that's just the backstory info dump, part 2 is where the real chaos starts...
