Every reason au

When they were young Wanda and pietro were kidnapped and separated, Wanda was turned into a black widow while pietro was trained by hydra, their both eventuality sent to kill a mutant in Spain with the power to control metal

I don't remember if I've talked about this here (it was a plot point in Wanda 1995), but hey.

My favorite way to include Magneto in the MCU Maximoff family tree is to say that the twins' mother Iryna is actually Anya Eisenhardt, who changed her name in order to avoid obvious connection to Terrorist Dad (Sokovian witness protection program).

It keeps the connection without contradicting canon overly much, allows for inclusion of the Natalya or Marya lore through the paternal line (as mother and aunt to Oleg), and smooths out the strained ages/timeline of the generations wrt to Erik being born in the 1920s/30s and meeting Magda in the 40s. Magda having Anya (here Iryna) in the fifties or sixties, and Anya then having the twins in 1989 works out a little more neatly than Magda either having the twins or being mistaken for having the twins in her sixties.

Magneto & Anya

[scarlet--wiccan]

Magda and Anya made a rare appearance-- with very bizarre hair colors-- in this week's Magneto (2023) #3.

Magneto has been captured by a mutant zealot named Irae, who's trying to force him to revert to his Brotherhood-era fanaticism by using a psychic torture machine to make him relive Auschwitz. While I think it's important to acknowledge Holocaust history, and to continue representing both victims and survivors, I felt that the imagery in this issue was cheap and little disrespectful.

Regardless, Magda appears, with Anya, as a projection from Magneto's psyche, which urges him to "lead [people] out of fear and ignorance," instead of holding on to hate. This is very similar to her appearance in the 90s Onslaught event, and I think it paints an interesting picture of the way Max chooses to remember her.

the Magnet family owns my heart

Erik, Magda, Pietro, Wanda, Lorna, Tommy, Billy, and Luna

I gave them all brown eyes (except for Lorna) because not enough characters have brown eyes despite it being the most common eye color. Also I gave Luna white hair instead of blonde because no one else on either side of her family is blonde so why does she have blonde hair????? It has always bothered me. Let her have white hair like her dad!

I love the idea of Pietro and Wanda looking wayyy more like Magda than they do Erik, just because. And thus their own children look like Magda too. She doesn’t get enough love or recognition.

Likewise, I like Lorna looking far more like Erik than the others do.

Respect Magda Eisenhardt & Gabrielle Haller!

This message is mostly for Cherik shippers.

I want to start of this post by saying I really like Cherik. Their relationship is very compelling and the actors who played Charles & Erik had amazing chemistry.

I’m not trying to say anything anti-Cherik here but I do believe Cherik shippers who enjoy Cherik family content should respect the role the mothers of their children have in their children’s lives.

Gabrielle was the one who raised David, and he is they way he is because of her.

Magda may not have been the one to raise Wanda & Pietro, but she did everything in her power to keep her twins safe.

What I’m saying is, it’s fine if you want Married Cherik with a family, Gabrielle’s relationship with Charles was short lived anyways and you can say Magda divorced Erik and they’re both co-parenting with Cherik but STOP PRETENDING WANDA, PIETRO, & DAVID DON’T HAVE MOTHERS WHO LOVE THEM!!!

A reply under my own post that sums up why Magda is awesome and why her arc is tragic. Sorry for light mode on mobile.

[wolf-stark]

Are Wanda and Pietro technically still Romani if Magda Eisenhardt isn't their biological mother anymore??? I'm reading Magda's wiki page and I'm confused now.

[nthflower]

Omg he have matching robes to his suit

Also Magda :(

[imperiuswrecked]

personally I'd give madga the track "in anno domino" by francesco tampon. there's no lyrics but the buildup feel like a tragic story being told with a few hints of innocent hope (flute) before the violin announces a sudden return to chaos

That's a very nice song and I loved listening to it, thanks for suggesting it!

[scarlet--wiccan]

What do you think about (as an idea for a slight retcon to explain the Maximoff twins’ background without removing Natalya from their story) Magda actually BEING Natalya? As in, when Magda is presumed dead after giving birth, she actually took on a new persona as Natalya and started a new life as a witch? This way, Magneto and Magda could still be the twins’ parents. I feel like it’s iffy because Magda is Western European and Natalya is likely Eastern European implying they’d be from different vistas (sorry, I’m not 100% sure that this is the proper term) but I think it would be the best way to bring back the old story without undoing the new one.

I gotta tell you, that would be really hard to pull off. I mean, Marvel is no stranger to sloppy retcons, but if you actually care about good writing, I think it'd be tough. First of all, in Scarlet Witch, Wanda encounters a past version of Natalya from before the twins were born, and she's already a witch, already going by that name, etc. Second, multiple living characters attest that Natalya was Django's brother and had been living-- and doing magic-- in the Balkans her whole life.

So, you need to find a way to account for all that. If Natalya, as a character, existed in a vacuum, then maybe it would work, although I really don't like that almost every Romani woman in comics is a witch, so I'd like to keep Magda out of that if possible.

On that subject, though, if we are going to continue employing Romani witch archetypes, I want to do it in a way that speaks authentically to this part of Romani history.

As I understand it, things like folk magic and divination, in the Romani community, are usually family trades, and were historically practiced as survival work, so, for most people, it is something that goes back several generations. A lot of those skills, like cartomancy, were developed by applying Romani ancestral customs to European folkways, and many of our communities do still have closed and/or initiatory spiritual traditions.

I don't have all the right answers, but I feel very strongly that if Wanda's magic is hereditary, it does need to be a part of a family lineage. My dream would be to really incorporate this part of Romani history into the Marvel canon in a way that changes outsider perceptions of witches and gypsies in genre fiction for the better. That's a lofty goal, and I'm not the right person to do it-- I'm sure you can imagine that this is difficult to talk about in a way that respects our cultural boundaries, and you end up walking a really fine line between representation and affirming stereotypes. So, it's just really hard.

Anyway, that's why I kind of love Natalya as she is, and I want to believe that something really positive could be done with this character. In the same vein, I actually really like that Magda is just an ordinary lady-- her story's really dark, but it's important for people to be reminded of Romani Holocaust victims, and I worry that we would be taking away from that if we made her into a magical being.

In this house we stan two unique, individual, and equally important Romani mothers!!!

The word you're looking for is "vitsa," which, in this context, is used to describe distinct groups or communities within the global Romani diaspora. Those distinctions are not technically based on geography-- it's more about lineage and dialect-- but, yeah, in Europe, they tend to be regional. It's not a hard rule, or anything. My family lives really far north from where you'd think to find Cale people, but that's who we are! I don't think it's ever explicitly stated, but we can infer from context that Magda is Sinti. She is actually one of the few Romani characters in comics with an identifiable vitsa. The fact that the Maximoffs don't have one can make it harder to nail down "authentic" details, which is sometimes frustrating.

Not a huge fan of recent Marvel comics forgetting Magda and her importance in Magneto's life and history in favour of focusing only on Charles.......
