The Four Color Media Monitor

Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.


Actress who played Scarlet Witch in Avengers movies wants an adaptation of House of M

In a very sad example of Hollywooders who don't have much respect for the franchises they contribute to, Superhero Hype says Elizabeth Olsen, who played Scarlet Witch in the Avengers films and even WandaVision and the Dr. Strange films, wants to adapt the dreadful Brian Bendis' House of M crossover from 2005 to live action:
During her recent appearance at the LA Comic Con, the 36-year-old actress opened up about the Marvel Comics arcs that she’d like her version of Scarlet Witch to feature in. Olsen specifically singled out the House of M storyline, noting that it would be fun for the Avengers to share the screen with the X-Men in a movie. (via Elizabeth Olsen Nation)

“I think House of M is just the coolest,” the Godzilla star stated before adding, “I just think it could be so fun to deal with X-Men and Avengers and ‘No more mutants.’ It would be fun.”

Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Olivier Coipel, House of M is an eight-issue Marvel Comics series that premiered in 2005. The storyline revolves around Scarlet Witch, who creates a world where mutants comprise the majority of the population. However, after facing resistance from the Avengers and the X-Men, Wanda Maximoff decides to reset reality once again. She utters the now-infamous phrase, “No more mutants,” and recreates a world where most mutants end up losing their powers.
What this doesn't mention, unshockingly enough, is how in the previous event, Avengers: Disassembled, Scarlet Witch was depicted as indirectly attacking the Avengers and causing chaos, and even had responsibility for the death of Jack of Hearts and 2nd Ant-Man Scott Lang in the shoddy tale, where Bendis reportedly exploited an Avengers West Coast storyline from 1990 in which Wanda was brainwashed into returning to villainy as "justification" for such a disgusting new story that was practically questionable in how accurate it was in terms of continuity anyway (but yes, continuity as we know it began to collapse by the mid-2000s). And all because her children, as was originally written in AWC in 1989, turned out to be energy constructs. But is that an excuse for depicting somebody going insane and turning, specifically, against the heroes because it's super-easy? Nope. Also strange how nobody comments on whether depicting Wanda sobbing over the loss of energy construct kids was a good idea, any more than retconning them away.

What Olsen's hoping for will only be another reason why I'd rather stay away from whatever else is in store for the live action Marvel franchise, for as long as it's still in production. I'd like to hope it won't be much longer, but with these ideologues at the helm, who knows when they'll let it go?
