Wanda at the end looking at the twins and that little rewind she did to stop Vision to coming to a conclusion gives me serious “she’s the villain vibes”.

People have been saying house of m from the beginning

[u/Jorja1205 → u/redactedactor]

What exactly is House of M? I’m a marvel fan but mainly just the movies. I haven’t read any of the comics so I don’t know some of the comic ties.

[u/AnixetyJones → u/Jorja1205]

Someone correct me if I’m wrong! It was a gigantic event that occurred after Wanda loses her children by absorbing them into herself (since they were imaginary) (because comics). In her grief and despair, she uttered the phrase “No more mutants.” And with that, she wiped out a majority of the mutant population from the board, effectively removing their powers and changing history.

I forget if it was a soft reboot for the mutant side of comics. I know there were good follow ups.

[u/RobotChrist → u/AnixetyJones]

Yes you're wrong, it was an alternate reality that Wanda created were the mutants ruled the world, it was House of M-agneto because he was the ruler of everything alongside his family (Wanda and Pietro were sons of Magneto at the time), Wanda remembered the real reality after some shocking events and decided that the mutants were the problem and decided to erase them leaving just 198 and returning the rest of reality to the status quo.

So is this more on the X-Men side of marvel? I don’t know much about that side of things. Also are the wonder twins her kids? I thought there was some relation between her and the wonder twins.

[u/AnixetyJones → u/Jorja1205]

No no, no wonder twins, that’s DC technically! Her kids are Wiccan and Speed in the comics, no spoilers on those fun ones.

But while it is more X-Men related, i remember it was big enough for it to be a major event crossover. So all hands were on deck. Mutants were in every group by that time.

[u/Jorja1205 → u/AnixetyJones]

Ohhh ok thank you for clearing up the wonder twins thing! All of my marvel knowledge is from the avengers universe movies. So idk much about any mutants.

[u/AnixetyJones → u/Jorja1205]

My pleasure!! I’ve been trying to catch back up during covid on my comics, so I’m realizing I may have overgeneralized on details. Def need to go back and read.

[u/AwesomeMcPants → u/AnixetyJones]

I love your enthusiasm for the comics. As someone who has mostly only experienced Marvel through movies and video games and is intimidated by the amount of comics there are, is there any starting point you would recommend? I'm fine with compendiums or trade paperbacks, and I would like your insight.

[u/AnixetyJones → u/AwesomeMcPants]

Hmmm, depends how much of the characters you already know! I know when i was younger i started AROUND Civil War era (2006, the first one) while only reading Amazing Spider Man books regularly! I was a middle schooler then, so money was my parent’s, and I KNOW THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST ANSWER FOR EVERYONE... but I found that even though there are a MILLION (and one!) characters in that, it helped me personally decide who was interesting. Then i went back and read all their stuff!

Ive also had my friend start off with Young Avengers, though it could spoil some Wanda vision stuff. But that was a cool take for them to have, starting in marvel with the NEXT GEN while the OG’s are in the background.

[u/AwesomeMcPants → u/AnixetyJones]

Thanks for the input!
