Oh, I understand that completely. The problem is it's literally a 10 second scene at the very end of the entire series. That that 10 second scene would lead to undoing the entire plot and journey we went on with her through the whole series and do it off-screen is just bad planning / writing. And insulting to her character as well. I mean sure the Darkhold corrupts. But at least have it corrupt her in some different way. To have her become the villain by falling to literally the exact same demons she had just proven herself capable of overcoming is just plain stupid.Except that at the end of WandaVision they showed Wanda exploring the Darkhold, and that was quite ominous.
Multiverse of Madness then shows and tells us that using the Darkhold corrupts the user. I agree that they should have focused more on showing her being corrupted by the book, if even in flashback if they wanted to keep it a surprise for the audience until Strange figures it out. But the logic and explanation is all right there even if some don’t like it.
I liked it, but I know others didn’t. I feel like I got both the how and the why while for others is wasn’t enough. The movie would have benefited from putting more script effort into bridging that gap.
