Things get spicy when Wanda and Loki engage in a truth battle.

We need an another rap truth battle with the goddess of stories Loki!

-after he manipulated me into rewriting reality-
THANK YOU.
Finally, someone acknowledges it.

(okay, yes, Silent War tried to suggest Pietro had been manipulated by Maximus the Mad during all that, but that's for another day. One step at a time.)


Very sensible decision, though, Wanda.
I mean, just imagine the family get-togethers, given what went down in Young Avengers...

DR. STRANGE: You must be careful with your words, Billy Kaplan. You alter reality itself with your very words. Anything you say might influence the timeline in unforeseeable ways.

WICCAN: Oh come on, it can't be that bad. I used to call myself Asgardian, and it's like I've become an Asgardian through marriage or something.

WONG enters.

WONG: Sir, you've been invited to the wedding of the Scarlet Witch and Loki.

WICCAN: ...well crap.

Seeing all this, Hulkling takes a long sip from his cup of Space Coffee.

HULKLING: I should be surprised by this, but I am not.

I think Peter David's (X-Factor) was the only comic that acknowledged at least as much Piedro's fault as it was Wanda's.

[scorntx]

Not much of an acknowledgement, beyond the early arcs.
And then he just sort of gave up, went insane, and apparently this was enough to consider him "redeemed".

(... might still be just a liiiitle salty about the whole matter.)

I can't be the only one getting The Four Yorkshiremen vibes from this scene, right?

So Steve Orlando has only seen Loki in the movies? Because he wasn’t “stolen” (in fact his adoption was part of a plot between his child self and a future version of himself) and he always knew he was a Frost Giant.

Nothing about Magda? It's been said that she deliberately left the High Evolutionary's base to die from exposure in order to protect Wanda and Pietro from Magneto. Even thought Magneto didn't know Magda was pregnant when she fled from him.

As Loki and Wanda seem to know, comic books are weird. And that "Eric Lensherr no actaully Max Eisenhardt" was annoying.

[scorntx]

Maybe she's saving it for next time?
Wanda's ever-shifting origins - the nuclear option of a truth-telling session.

Meanwhile Hawkman and Power Girl are rolling their eyes at each other and saying "amateurs!"

I'm imagining this set to Chuck Berry's You Never Can Tell
