Scarlett Witch didn't die at end right?

No body, no death.

Hell, it's a superhero show. Even if there's a body, that's no guarantee of death.

I have seen very few people actually taking the death as having happened - there’s not even “didn’t die” AUs for my fanfic, just a complete disbelief that she did at all.

I would observe that there’s reasonably foreshadowing if so - Strange dropped a roof and a river on the other Wanda that got possessed, and that did nothing.

I would take it as "she's dead, unless they can think of something else to use her in".

Sure, make the reasonable assumption

Is she Peter Parker's uncle?

If not, then death is barely an inconvenience.

You could say that not dying is super easy, barely an inconvenience

I still can't figure out who has died more Loki or agent Coulson

I was thinking about this because WandaVision set up the idea that Wanda would be trying to find her own kids rather than kidnapping another Wanda's. Something would need to be done with that plotline, first, but who would do it?

I mean, she technically looked for her kids…in a very ill-thought out and villainous way

I dunno, kinda seems like a 'snyder cut' kind of complaint. We saw that she had the Darkhold and she went looking for her kids by the time we see her again she's going scorched earth to exit the reality where she has known nothing but pain and heartache and go to one where her kids were real. She looked for her kids via the Darkhold and this is what she found. Do we really need a handholding scene where she makes the decision that she can't recreate her kids but via the multiverse she can do the next best thing? I kind of hate this instinct that audiences are incapable of filling in the gaps or even worse that not documenting every single step is 'bad writing'. It's the Cinema Sins/Pitch Meeting effect where people have taken a perfectly fun exercise and mistaken it for actual criticism.

Forsher wrote:The actual winner for not staying dead in the MCU would be Bruce. He's died once on screen (Ragnarok), references having committed suicide once (The Avengers) and then is implied to have died in the initial incident by Tony (also The Avengers). Plus, Ragnarok would suggest that when he jumped out of the helicopter in The Incredible Hulk he died then, too. However, I haven't seen that for some time so...

It makes no sense for the MCU to be 616. Maybe 838 uses a different numbering scheme than we do in this universe. (But why would they number their own universe 838, then?)

Obviously she screwed up by looking for them as directly twins or being the age she knew or whatever, not older teens in separate families - the whole reincarnated in the past I like to poke fun at (in so far as that’s my relative understanding of how they got that way in the comics). Or something

I mean, it could be the case that by the time she started looking, they'd already reincarnated.

Someone was suggesting on the subreddit that a way of bringing Wanda back would be to have her have an adventure in Hell. Finally give the fans the Mephisto appearance they've been clamouring for, sort of thing.

Anyway, I was thinking, what if the kid's dad in universes like 838 where they're not artificial constructs created by magic is Simon Williams and this is why Vision wasn't around?
