However , this explanation simply does n’t cultivate , and actually undermines the emotional weight of Scarlet Witch ’s MCU story . Wanda ’s grief over Vision ’s death was what lead to the creation of her sons in the first place , and though it ’s understandable that her crusade to discover Billy and Tommy would be even swell than herWandavisionmotivations , Vision being miss inDoctor Strange 2makes her reasoning seem far less intellectual by ignoring such a key part of the Scarlet Witch ’s MCU root .

Olsen ’s account that Wanda and Vision " got divorced " off - cover feels clearly cheap , particularly after the events ofWandavision , in which she effectively enslaved a townspeople out of her grief . With her passion for Vision being such a cardinal part of her theatrical role arc , having it suddenly disappear due to seemingly off - screen events feels jarring . As Vision was such an integral part of Wanda ’s MCU origin ( in particular in the forming of her Scarlet Witch persona ) , not let in him as part ofDoctor Strange 2 ’s castfeels like a very peculiar manner to retain her write up .
In this regard , Elizabeth Olsen ’s explanation of why Vision is absentminded inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessmakes very small sense . The belief that Wanda would simply move on from Vision without any more than a sink credit is far - fetched , even considering that the Scarlet Witch is focused on bump her Logos in the multiverse . The implication of Vision ’s absence is that Wanda purposely look for a universe without Vision to make it easier to integrate herself into Billy and Tommy ’s lives , which paints her as far more ruthless and count than she has been antecedently . Though the Darkhold ’s corrupting big businessman over Wanda was finally to fault for her villainy ( as tell byDoctor Strange 2 ’s conclusion ) , the melodic theme that she could so easily blank out about her love for Vision inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesssimply makes no sensation .
