WandaVision: 20 Best Scarlet Witch Quotes From The MCU

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is full of compelling heroes, but Scarlet Witch is one of the most interesting. She’s more powerful than she’s often given credit for and that power has only grown since she was introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

WandaVision finally puts Wanda in the spotlight, making her an even more fascinating character with a complex journey. Throughout her time in the MCU, that complexity has shown in her many quotes that range from funny to intimidating to heartbreaking, just like Wanda herself.

Updated on November 30th, 2021 by Colin McCormick:Wanda Maximoff has gone from a second-tier hero to perhaps the most interesting character in the MCU. WandaVision was a deep dive into the character and her amazing journey is set to continue in the anticipated sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Looking at her path throughout the various MCU projects, she has many more memorable quotes that speak to all the things about her character that make Wanda Maximoff such a compelling character to follow.

Wanda’s Villain Origin Story

“We Wait For Two Days For Tony Stark To Kill Us.”

Wanda has been through so much in the MCU that fans might have forgotten she started out as an antagonist. And much like the complexity that would come to define the character, Wanda’s grudge against the Avengers is a compelling one.

She and her brother tell Ultron of how their home was destroyed and their parents killed when a missile manufactured by Stark Industries landed in their complex. The idea of these young children trapped in the rubble, waiting for the bomb in front of them to explode explains her anger perfectly.

What Is Vision?

“You Are My Sadness And My Hope. But Mostly, You’re My Love.”

Given his tragic death in Avengers: Infinity War, there were many questions about how Vision was brought back to life in WandaVision. It was ultimately revealed that Wanda herself conquered him with her powers.

In the finale, this new Vision asks Wanda where he comes from and what he is. She gives a heartbreaking explanation that makes it clear that he comes from the best and worst parts of her but is mostly the deep love she still feels for Vision.

Wanda And Vision’s Connection

“I Just Feel You.”

Even before Wanda and Vision met, they shared a unique connection. The Mind Stone was central for both of them as it gave Wanda her powers and gave Vision life. This connection ultimately leads to a tragic end, but it remains something they shared from the beginning.

In Avengers: Infinity War, Vision begins noticing the stone reaction and has Wanda use her powers to see if she can feel anything, but she responds, “I just feel you.” It is a touching line that becomes heartbreaking when she loses him.

Wanda Becomes Scarlet Witch

“I Don’t Need You To Tell Me Who I Am.”

WandaVision not only explores Wanda as a character in a deeper way, but it also has her finally embrace her persona of Scarlet Witch. When Agatha Harkness explains to Wanda the power she has and tries to take it from her, Wanda proves she is not as helpless as she seems.

After luring Agatha into a trap and defeating her, she thanks her for the lessons on her witchcraft. But she adds that she knows exactly who she is and implies the Scarlet Witch has been within her forever.

Saying Goodbye

“We Will Say Hello Again.”

Wanda and Vision went from one of the most unexpected MCU romances to one that surprisingly worked to one that was devastating to fans. The fact that Wanda has had to see Vision go so many times has been heartbreaking for the character.

In the finale of WandaVision, as Vision once again faces demise, he points out that they have said goodbye many times before which makes Wanda believe they will see each other again. It is an emotional moment and could hold promises for the future.

Stating The Obvious

“We Are An Unusual Couple…”

This particular line probably wouldn’t have been very memorable if fans had only heard it said by Wanda in the first episode of WandaVision. Elizabeth Olsen’s delivery of the line, perfectly in sync with the 1950s sitcom style, however, makes it noticeable. It’s also one of the most often used lines to promote the series in its original advertising campaign.

There’s no denying that a woman with superpowers and a man created from vibranium are an unusual couple. WandaVision allows fans the chance to actually see them as a couple, something the movies of the MCU didn’t get much time to explore.

Taking Revenge On Ultron

“Do You Know How It Felt? It Felt Like That.”

Wanda is one of the few characters in the MCU that has allowed writers to explore just how we deal with grief and trauma. Initially, Wanda responds angrily and violently.

She joins Hydra’s experiments because of her anger at Stark Industries for the role they played in killing her parents. Wanda allies with Ultron for the same reason, and then, when Ultron is responsible for killing her brother Quicksilver, she literally rips his heart out. The line only makes Wanda’s pain more visceral for the audience.

Wanda Confronts SWORD

“Is This Yours?”

WandaVision has proven to be a fascinating exploration of Wanda’s grief in the MCU as well. She doesn’t take too kindly to anyone encroaching on her happy ending.

When S.W.O.R.D. interferes with Wanda’s life, she doesn’t allow them to get too close, using her power to grab and nullify a missile, sending it right back to the agents. It’s clear that Wanda is not someone to be trifled with as she tosses the weapon at them and boldly asks, “Is this yours?” Elizabeth Olsen’s delivery of this line reminds the audience that, despite Wanda’s status as a hero, she can be incredibly menacing.

Calling Out Hawkeye

“You’re Pulling Your Punches.”

Early in her time with the Avengers, it’s clear that Hawkeye becomes something of a mentor to Wanda. It’s he who convinces Wanda to join the Avengers, and he also helps her get to Captain America when the team takes sides concerning the Sokovia Accords.

In Captain America: Civil War, Wanda has already deferred to Hawkeye so much that her interrupting his altercation with Black Widow makes the audience chuckle, but it also shows that Wanda isn’t messing around. Not only does she use her ability to move Black Widow away from her teammate, but she reminds Hawkeye that this is a real fight for her. It’s not just a group of friends messing around.

Wanda Is In Control

“Don’t Worry, Darling. I Have Everything Under Control.”

In addition to showcasing the acting talents of Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen, WandaVision has also shown audiences what a powerhouse of talent Wanda Maximoff is. Sure, she’s shown she can tap into raw power in a fight, but her creating a happy ending for herself and Vision is a massive undertaking.

Though Vision has his doubts (and suspicions) in Westview, Wanda works overtime to make sure that things work out just so. She really does have everything under her control — most of the time.

Using Fear As A Weapon

“Everybody’s Afraid Of Something.”

When dealing with superheroes, it’s easy to forget there are humans beneath the masks and capes. This quote from Avengers: Age of Ultron reminds viewers that their favorite heroes are, in fact, human though — and that all of them have the same hopes and fears as everyone else.

And Wanda proves her statement true when she manages to send the Avengers team into their own worst nightmares later in the film. The human tendency to feel afraid only makes Wanda that much more powerful.

Meeting Ultron

“Sooner Or Later, Every Man Shows Himself.”

Another gem from Age of Ultron, Wanda says this when Ultron comments on her inability to see inside his mind. But even if Wanda can’t take the easy route to understand Ultron’s motivations, she’s firm in her belief that people’s true colors come out over time. And Ultron proves that theory correct.

Wanda’s sentiment rings true outside of the MCU, too, as people do have a tendency to show who they truly are as time goes on. Hiding oneself only works for so long.

Wanda Sees Tony As A Threat

“Ultron Doesn’t Know The Difference Between Saving The World And Destroying It. Wonder Where He Gets That From.”

While many fans of the Avengers team won’t agree with this quote from Age of Ultron, it does offer up a new perspective on what our MCU heroes are actually doing for the world. It’s undeniable that they’ve made fatal mistakes over the course of the Infinity Saga, and Wanda points that out in a brutally honest way.

Comparing the Avengers to Ultron may not be totally accurate, but it does leave fans to wonder whether their heroes should be asking more questions before rushing in to save the day.

Wanda Becomes An Avenger

“It’s My Job.”

Hawkeye’s sentiment in Avengers: Age of Ultron that, once Wanda walks outside to help them, she’s part of the Avengers, is a powerful one — but she has her own equally captivating moment later when she agrees to protect the core while the others help vacate innocent people.

“It’s my job,” Wanda tells Hawkeye, emphasizing that she’s officially on the team — and that she’s willing to make big sacrifices for the good of others. This is the first time Wanda truly proves herself worthy of being a hero, but it’s certainly not the last.

Wanda’s Powers

“You Guys Know I Can Move Things With My Mind, Right?”

This is one of Wanda’s more comical lines in the MCU, uttered during Captain America: Civil War when Cap has her scoping out an area that may be targeted by their enemies. As he outlines all the issues they could run into, Wanda reminds him that she can move objects with her mind — highlighting that there’s not much reason to stress when they have her abilities working for them.

This quip is funny, but it also emphasizes how powerful Wanda really is. Who needs to worry about blocked exits and bullet-proof vests when you have telekinesis?

A New Wanda

“I Used To Think Of Myself One Way, But After This, I Am Something Else. And Still Me, I Think.”

After Wanda loses control of her powers attempting to contain an explosion — resulting in several casualties — she’s left reeling from the event, as well as the fact that the public seems to pin the entire blame on her. Vision tries to make her feel better, leading to a heart-to-heart between the two.

During their conversation, Wanda admits that she’s become something else with her powers. But she also acknowledges that she’s still the same person somewhere underneath, something that can accurately be said about any of the heroes in the MCU — or anyone who finds themselves given extraordinary power.

Accepting Her Fear

“I Can’t Control Their Fear, Only My Own.”

With the general public afraid of Scarlet Witch, Tony Stark more or less puts her on house arrest, leaving Vision to make sure she doesn’t go out in public. But when Hawkeye arrives to ask for her help, she overtakes Vision, insisting that she can’t control anyone else’s fears — only her own.

And by accepting that she’ll make mistakes and choosing to be a hero anyway, she overcomes her own fears. It’s one of Captain America: Civil War‘s strongest moments, and it shows Wanda truly coming into her own.

Vision’s Sacrifice

“That’s Too High A Price.”

Captain America gets a lot of credit for refusing to sacrifice one innocent life to save many, but Wanda was the first person to assert that destroying Vision was “too high a price” during Avengers: Infinity War.

Sure, Wanda’s a bit biased when it comes to Vision, but her sentiment still drives home the notion that even one innocent life is too much to sacrifice. Of course, it’s a sacrifice she still winds up having to make — but she and the others exhaust every other possibility before doing so.

Wanda Reminds Thanos

“You Will.”

Watching Wanda take on Thanos and nearly crush him on her own is enough to make fans believe she’s one of the most powerful characters in the MCU, but it’s the dialogue that truly makes this moment in Avengers: Endgame a treat. When she tells him that he “took everything” from her, he responds by saying he doesn’t know who she is.

“You will,” she tells him before wrecking him — and had he survived, he most certainly would have remembered her as a formidable opponent. Talk about a power move.

Wanda Consoles Clint

“She Knows. They Both Do.”

At the end of Avengers: Endgame, Wanda, and Hawkeye have a heartfelt discussion about their lost loved ones, with Hawkeye wishing that he could let Natasha know the Avengers won. “She knows,” Wanda tells him. “They both do.”

This sentiment gives weight to the notion that Natasha and Vision are still a part of the Avengers, even if both characters are dead, and it suggests that they’re still watching out for their former teammates somewhere. It’s a tearjerker scene, but it ends the movie on a hopeful note, even after all the devastation that occurs.
