Where did they make Wanda a Christian? Like I know they erased her Jewish heritage but I honestly have no idea when they said she's now a Christian
Hi! Thanks for asking. The stuff I remember is this:
First, Wanda's bedroom in Captain America: Civil War has crosses hanging on her wall:
Tumblr media
I can’t see much of a reason for this. It’s a bizarre decoration and just seems to rub in the Jewish erasure.
Then, in WandaVision we see her and Vision celebrating exclusively Christian holidays (Easter and Christmas)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honestly— I think Marvel Studios doesn’t care about Wanda’s comic origins. They probably used these holidays because Christian culture is so baked into media that it seemed natural. Either way, Wanda isn’t Jewish. She may not be religiously Christian, but culturally she noticeably is.
In CW they could’ve easily included a mezuzah on her doorframe (very visible as Steve lingers in the doorway for half that scene lmao). In WV they could’ve used those photos to show Purim or Chanukah. It would’ve been that easy. (Also not having her volunteer for Hydra would’ve been great).
