I took her character as more being corrupted at that point than a "heal turn" honestly. Like she wasn't fully in control of herself by the time of MoM

I know they were going for corruption via the Darkhold, but considering the movie begins with her murdering Doctor Strange, it just felt abrupt to me. Like, we're fresh off the heels of her feeling really bad about what she inadvertently did to a bunch of innocent people in Westview, and then all of the internal conflict is just gone.

[–] Brunbrun6766 3 points 7 months ago

Hmm, idk she felt conflicted but certainly not BAD imo. She was internally still able to justify her actions. And then the post credit scene of Wandavision was her pouring over the darkhold and her hands started to get fucked up if I remember. If she's willing to use the darkhold then she surely stopped feeling bad if she ever did to begin with. Then not long after that is MoM

Certainly they could have paced things better, but it was just like everything else in this most recent phase, too fast and not enough explanation

TBF, she felt bad about torturing the town. But she was fully aware that they were being held captive. She was just delusional about them being happier under control without freedom. Once she accepted her reality, it didn't seem like a huge leap to her MoM self.

[–] themeatbridge 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'd have to watch it again, but my take was that she had subconsciously created Westview, and even when she realized what was happening, she was in deep denial and couldn't really control it. She didn't murder innocent people, especially friends and kids. She didn't even kill the soldiers threatening her family and desecrating her husband's corpse.

[–] Omegamanthethird 1 points 7 months ago

I don't know if she could control it. But she also never tried to. Regardless, she totally knew that they were trapped and she didn't care.

However, she was in denial about herself being good. She thought the trapped people were happy. Hence she also didn't murder. That delusion broke at the end of WV. People just assumed she would go good rather than going further off the deep-end. But with the Darkhold there was only one direction to go.
