Yeah, it was interesting how they framed the dialogue there as well. Despite bringing up Captain Marvel, the way they chose to word it still implied that Wanda did the best out of everyone. At least that's how it came across to me.
Honestly, as of the last episode, unless Dr Strange gets some onscreen telepathy-type feats in his next film, Wanda could beat him (and most MCU characters for that matter) with just a wave of the hand at this point. Because she was already able to influence people like Cap, Thor, Hulk and Black Widow as a noob in AoU and, as we see, her powers and range have just increased since then.

WandaVision will set the tone for that movie. I don't think Wanda will be the antagonist, but more of the nexus with the Dr. Strange 2's villain. I'm guessing some surt of multiversal inbalance caused by her actions, which will need undoing by Dr. Strange.
Maybe even the invasion of other dimensions, with potential new villains like the Shuma Gorath.
Yeah, there are a number of options with Strange in terms of villains that could be brought in due to inter-dimensional/multiversal weirdness. Mordo might also feature somewhere, as they still need to resolve the fact that he was going around draining the magic from others during the post-credits scene of the first film.

I feel like they actually messed up with the villain in the first Dr. Strange film. Mordo should have been the main villain there with Dormammu just the one pulling strings. Save Dormammu for a later film. He could have been the next big bad after Thanos and could easily have been the villain behind WandaVision as well.
Well I dont think anyone would seriously argue killing all those civilians was fine because she saved Cap, who later saved the Universe.
Logically, yes you probably wouldnt go back in time to change that event to Cap dying instead of them. But morally she has to take some heat for straight up throwing a bomb next to a building full of civilians.
That was hilarious. Framed as if they all watched Endgame then discussed it on a KMC chat board.

Would you have preferred she kept the bomb next to the civilians on the ground? She had to do something with Rumlow and she had literally seconds to act in a high stress situation. She didn't exactly have time to aim.
Youre saying that as if Im actively protesting against her.
Point is that bomb wouldnt have killed those specific people if she hadnt thrown him there. So Of course she has to take some heat for that.
Doesnt mean shes a murderer or that the whole thing was her fault. But she was definitely involved in those specific people dying, and will have to take some shit for that.
Whereas if she kept the bomb where it already was then any deaths would have been down solely to Crossbones. And all her contribution would have done is help save lives by limiting the damage by containing it as best she could.

Nah, she shouldn't have taken any heat for it at all. She wasn't the one who detonated the bomb, wasn't even responsible for aggravating the bomber. She took action after the bomb was detonated and her actions limited the casualties to a far lesser number than it should have been. Nobody deserves to get heat for something like that.
Well, Marvel Studios usually have a method to their madness. So, hopefully there will be a good payoff for how they decided to handle Mordo. As for Dormammu, yeah, he could have been a big bad, but there are plenty of others in Strange's rogue gallery you could say the same about. Just hope they pick one of the good ones if they do decide to go that route.
Yeah, this is pretty much how I feel about it. Plus, it wasn't as if she just took some heat. They plastered her all over the news, essentially put her under house arrest and used the event to justify forcing the Sokovia Accords forward.
