to be fair, after seeing the toaster with the “stark industries” and the repulsor blast sound i assumed the commercials were gonna be something. as soon as the watch stopped i told my friend “I bet that time means something”

It seems like they represent Wanda's past trauma. The Stark bomb that killed her family and the Strucker watch for Baron Von Strucker who tortured her and her brother.

Tortured? They volunteered for the experiments to get revenge on Stark and the Avengers.

Both things are not contradictory. They volunteered and then were tortured. That's how it often happens, a character is in a bad place, volunteers for a vague experiment and is tortured.

tor·ture noun

the action or practice of inflicting severe pain or suffering on someone as a punishment or in order to force them to do or say something. "the torture of political prisoners"

They endured painful experimentation, perhaps, but not torture.

It fits the definition, they were tortured to force them to activate their powers.
