MCU Theory - Scarlet Witch as Doctor Strange's apprentice?

Despite Endgame, Marvel is far from over. A new phase of the MCU is approaching, and one of its future films has particularly caught my attention, which will stage Doctor Strange, and also Scarlet Witch, who I hope will gain even more importance in the MCU.

A theory came to me: what if Wanda became Strange's apprentice in the future? Let me explain:

As we know, Wanda received her powers through one of the stones of infinity, the spirit stone. She therefore did not receive her powers in a natural way, and also did not receive the spiritual training necessary to control them well. Although powerful, Wanda is afraid of her powers.

The loss of Vision will not make it right, and after Endgame, Wanda could be completely lost in her life, and the fear and pain would only further compound the loss of control over her colossal powers. Who better to help her in this case than the master of mystical arts in person?

Strange, whose power is matched only by his wisdom, could then decide to take the young woman under his wing and teach her how to master her powers while maintaining her spirit and helping her to become mentally stronger. After all, Wanda's powers are mind-based, and she uses her hands to invoke her powers, as Strange does with his. In a sense, their powers are quite similar and it is this link between the two characters that I find very interesting. I think the two would make a good pair for the MCU. And I admit that the idea of Wanda becoming the apprentice of Strange and learning the mystical arts is such catchy!

The best versions of April O'Neil

The universe of Ninja Turtles rocked my childhood since always, it is one of the first universes of which I was a fan, and still today, it is always a pleasure to see it again. For this article, I wanted to talk about a subject close to my heart, on the main female character of the franchise: April O'Neil, and show you the best versions of her character. This is only my personal opinion, so don't bother coming to tell me if I forgot a particular version.

1987 version (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987)

I will first start with the first animated version of the character, in the animated series of 1987. I admit that when I was a child, I was in love with April, I found her very pretty and I always worried for her when she was captured. In this version, April is a journalist, and with a curious and intrepid side, but who often puts her in trouble. Even if I like this version, and I think in particular with nostalgia today, the criticism that I make of this version is that she is too often shown as a damsel in distress, not strong enough to defend herself and who must always be rescued, and for those who know me, it's not something I like about a female character, but after, it was in the 80s, it was another mentality.

2003 version (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003)

My favorite animated version of the character, that of the 2003 animated series, and also the one that is the most faithful to comics. Originally in comics, April is not a journalist but an assistant to scientist Baxter Stockman, and it is when she discovers that her boss is secretly working with Shredder that she is chased by Stockman's killer robots in the sewers, and is saved by the ninja turtles. Besides, her meeting with the turtles in the 2003 series is for me the best in animated version.

The animated version of 2003 follows this course, but also, this April has a much stronger character, she says what she thinks and even if she has not been trained in combat, she does not hesitate to intervene to help her friends (like when she hits a Shredder's minion on the head with a vase to save Leonardo). In addition, as a scientific assistant, she has computer skills. 

1990 version (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: the movie)

After my favorite animated version, here is my favorite live version, and besides the only good that exists. Judith Hoag starred as April in the 1990 film, the franchise's first live adaptation. In this version, April is a bit of a mix: she is a journalist, but keeps her strong character and does not hesitate to say what she thinks. In addition, Judith is a very good actress, beautiful woman ;), and who knew how to play the character (and she was only 22 when shooting the film!). And her encounter with the turtles in the film is just hilarious, and all the scenes with her and the turtles are perfect. Just the only personal downside: she doesn't meet Shredder in the film.

I have absolutely nothing, personally, against Megan Fox, but the role of April really does not suit her, and especially, her version of the character is ... ouch ... I will say it clearly to the scriptwriters: No, April O'Neil is not a bimbo! You clearly didn't understand anything about the character! 

To this day, Judith Hoag remains the only real incarnation of April O'Neil in a live version.
