Theyre Fictional Characters Calm Down And Love Them Both - Tumblr Posts
I don’t get why people always need to make it a competition. This has been such a HUGE debate in the fandom. 🙄 Just enjoy the characters and the content marvel creates with those characters. And yes!!! Oml the creator of WandaVision didn’t even read the comics! So whatever they say, it really doesn’t matter. Their uneducated opinion isn’t valid 😌✋.
Hi! I hope you're doing well! I hate to ask about the MCU as you seem to be exclusively about 616 Stephen, but there's seems to be debate with regards to who is the more powerful magic user: Stephen Strange or Wanda Maximoff. I was wondering if you have any opinions on this or if there were any recs regarding any confrontations they've had or comics regarding Stephen's power level?
Greetings, anon!
Well, let's just say I tend to avoid that area of the fandom ahahaha and this is one of the reasons why I decided to step back from it.
As Stan Lee once stated: the stronger character is whoever the writer wants to be stronger.
There's no such thing as who's the most powerful magic user. I've made this mistake in the past but gladly I grew past this kind of discussion.
So when Agatha says that Scarlet Witch's power "exceeds that of the Sorcerer Supreme", this is pure bs from people who haven't read comic books (and it shows because they didn't even know who Mephisto was).
Also the title of the Sorcerer Supreme is not meant to be taken by the strongest user but the wiser. This is actually canon. Check out Triumph and Torment and see how Stephen managed to pass the test without any power displays.
So it doesn't really matter who's the strongest. They have confrontations but that's not the point. Bendis wanted Stephen to knock out Wanda in Avengers #503 because he was going for a harmful representation of her character, thus Stephen won.
Spencer wanted a simple solution to revert Chthon's possession so he used Stephen to exorcize her in Secret Empire #9.
At the same time, Stephen was defeated by Illyana in Avengers Vs. X-Men #2. Does that mean that Illyana is stronger than both Wanda and Stephen? WHO KNOWS?
My tip is, do not walk this path. It only leads to discourse and fandom war and *sigh* it's tiresome. I know for sure I don't do that anymore.
Thank you for passing by, have a great day as well!
