Wanda and Vision are living happily ever after in a television sitcom. Or are they?

Widow's "red in my ledger" is good and clear, and I think the nuance of being a government operative is also more easily understood, since it's kind of a cliche. There's no real precedent for "kidnap and mentally torture an entire town of people" though. The scale of her offense, even out of grief, is pretty huge, to my mind.
I think we can be meant to like her at the end of this particular situation, but can still also see the character on a trajectory to become a major villain in a later film/show.

WARNING: "Wandavision" spoilers below
The post-credit scene, which I did get around to watching last night, features Wanda pulling a Dr. Strange, studying in her astral form, reading the Darkhold, which from what I understand, is sort of a book of evil magic in the MCU. See: Agents of Shield

Right. Although Mordo is also a confirmed villain in that film, I presume Witch will be a villain for at least a portion of the film and perhaps beyond.

I guess time will tell. If she is on a trajectory to become even more of a villain, and this was just the tip of the iceberg as far horrible **** she will do, I think it's a ballsy move by Marvel, especially if she ends up either responsible for or complicit in the death(s) of major characters moving forward.

However, if the entire point of this was to set up a bunch of episodes meant to explore grief and loss, only to tack on a clumsy footnote about sacrifice, while pretty much ignoring her misdeeds, it will just be a bold and quirky single season with a weak ending.

I think it's the former, or maybe I just hope it is.
