Audiences the world over have loved and praised the MCU since its debut back in 2008, with fans constantly bickering and arguing about who is the "best" or "strongest" superhero. While fans can discuss for hours, days, months, and even years about who the "best" hero in the MCU is, it's definitively clear that most fans of the franchise have a personal favorite hero. A character has a story or a purpose in the MCU that's so fundamentally relatable to the viewer that they can't help but cheer every time they see said hero on screen.

One such character that met those traits for practically every fan of the MCU was Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). Audiences couldn't help but emotionally bond with Wanda due to the nature of her character. She literally lost everything throughout the course of her introduction in Age of Ultron to the point she met her fate in Doctor Strange 2. But while many fans were upset with Wanda becoming a villain and eventually sacrificing her own life to destroy the monster that she had become, there are many reasons why it was the correct and proper path for her character.

Wanda Had Already Suffered Too Muchmcu wanda suffers fate suffered too much Cropped

Everybody has a breaking point, and not everybody should be required to continue to break themselves further in an attempt to heal. As we already stated, Wanda literally lost everything. Her parents were killed when she was a child; she was experimented on as a telekinetic weapon; Ultron murdered her brother; she accidentally blew up innocent civilians in Lagos, which resulted in the Sokovia Accords that ultimately split up the Avengers; she had to blow a hole in the head of her beloved to stop Thanos, only to then watch Thanos bring him back to life and murder him again.

Finally, she had a mental breakdown after all that trauma, as witnessed in WandaVision. She enslaved the minds and lives of an entire town and created a fake version of Vision and two fake kids to try and live a normal life, only to have to erase the entire illusion and return to her painful reality.

Regardless of how powerful and strong Wanda is, nobody deserves to live with that much pain and suffering and feel that they need to carry on just for the sake of fans enjoying the character.

Atone for Wanda's Mistakesmcu wanda suffers fate amend for mistakes Cropped

Now, while Wanda has undoubtedly been the victim for most of her time in the MCU, her mistakes in WandaVision were never properly addressed. Yes, she managed to get rid of The Hex. She ceased controlling the minds of all the people in Westview, as well as destroying the illusion of Vision and her children. Still, she never actually got punished or even reprimanded for it. In the end, she just flew away as if admitting her faults were enough to atone for them.

Put yourself in the position of somebody in Westview. You find out that your mind and actions are being controlled by a woman who is only doing it so that she can have the happy life that she wants. Then, when you finally regain control of your mind, the person doing it decides to fly away -- without even saying sorry. Debate all you want about how much Wanda has suffered, but she was entirely in the wrong for what she did in Westview, and a proper punishment was never served.

Only Way to Free Agathamcu wanda suffers fate agatha free Cropped

While it wasn't confirmed that Wanda would meet her end in Doctor Strange 2, fans honestly could have made a safe bet, thanks to Marvel announcing several months ago that Agatha Harkness would be getting her own spinoff series on Disney+. Now, while that isn't a super-obvious assumption, it was pretty much displayed in WandaVision that Wanda was more powerful than Agatha and that she could still mentally control Agatha even after she had ceased controlling everybody else.

So, what would the Agatha series have depicted if she were still under Wanda's spell? Would it have just been a series about Agatha mentally controlled as she... did nothing? She was essentially in a mental prison, and watching somebody trapped in their own mind would make a show that resembles Moon Knight a tad bit too much. Therefore, it would only be logical that Agatha would have to break free from Wanda's spell. But she already proved that she isn't powerful enough to defeat Wanda.

So what's the fix? Wanda has to defeat herself, which she did. It now stands to reason that, with the passing of Wanda, Agatha will be released from her spell and will have the chance to roam free during her upcoming series.
