With the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Marvel fans excitedly went into theaters over the weekend not knowing what to expect. Ever since January 2021, the story of Wanda Maximoff turning into the Scarlet Witch has been the most significant thing to hit the MCU since Thanos, and the film did not disappoint.

With Scarlet Witch being the cause behind the event that kickstarts the movie, the main force of nature antagonist and arguably a vicious murderer throughout, the movie is a treat for fans of her character's development over the past decade. After the first weekend of watching the movie, fans were quick to post their favorite scenes and memes from it on social media (sometimes recorded right off the screen).

Wanda literally has the coldest lines in the film like…
"Next time it won't be Wanda that comes for her, it'll be the Scarlet Witch."
"What Mouth?"
"Is your wife still alive? Then there will be someone left to raise them."
"Run." pic.twitter.com/os2Flp958k

With the theme of motherhood being a huge component of the MCU film, having the film release right before Mother's Day (as well as the fact that Multiverse of Madness humorously abbreviates to MoM) seems extra poignant, and fans were quick to jump on the motherhood train when it came to Scarlet Witch.

At the end of the movie, with Scarlet Witch / Wanda 616 being cared for by one of her variants, fans noted an important part of the exchange and what they think it means for the character.

The fact that this #Wanda variant was able to easily forgive the Scarlet Witch because she lived her life in her dreams and she knows everything she's been through. pic.twitter.com/eVrBf6jZaE
