Why is it that the MCU’s Sokovia Accords are still in effect during WandaVision? Captain America: Civil War commemorated a landmark switch for the MCU, as the various superheroes were split by the introduction of the Sokovia Accords. Following the termination of Sokovia by Tony Stark’s Ultron, and an incident in Lagos where Scarlet Witch accidentally killed a group of charity works, the United People decided they could no longer give vigilantism to go unchecked. The Sokovia Accords were designed to bring the Avengers and other heroes under bureaucratic province, and while some agreed with the move, others reputed accountability in the wrong hands was even more dangerous.

But no sooner had the Sokovia Accords been written into rule, Thanos descended upon Earth and threatened the part cosmo. By his hand, half of all life was wiped out for 5 years, and the Mad Titan was only stopped thanks to the combined efforts of the Avengers and their friends – Sokovia Accords be damned. Watching Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, you’d be forgiven for making the Sokovia Accords became obsolete after Thanos. Surely, the Blip proves superheroes are necessary, and that they should be given enough freedom to operate as necessary.

WandaVision proves otherwise, as Agent Jimmy Woo confirms that by stealing Vision’s corpse from SWORD, Wanda was in direct violations of the Sokovia Accords, revealing in no uncertain terms that the law behind the MCU Civil War is still being defended. One look at what’s happening in WandaVision might prove why. At the current time, Scarlet Witch has taken an part city hostage and is playing fast and loose with the very nature of reality exploiting her Infinity Stone superpowers. This is precisely the kind of troubling event the Accords were designed to address, and it’s arguably the lack of enforcement during and immediately after the Blip that allowed Scarlet Witch to create Westview in the first place. If Wanda was being checked, as per the Harmonizes, she might’ve been stopped before the situation became so extreme.

WandaVision likewise uncovers another reason behind the very existence of the Sokovia Accords – attitudes on superheroes remain starkly partitioned. As SWORD discuss how to handle the Westview anomaly in occurrence 5, it becomes clear that Monica Rambeau, Jimmy Woo and Darcy Lewis( the good guys) all give Wanda the benefit of the doubt, sympathizing with her regret and entertaining the possibility that she’s not intending to harm the residents of Westview. On the other hand, Director Hayward is very obviously a superhero skeptic. He doesn’t make much convincing to start treating Wanda like a gunman, and privately organizes an ill-advised assault on their own lives. Hayward proves that even after the Avengers’ epics against Thanos, chassis of expert are still profoundly uneasy of those with strengths. These split opinions no doubt extend to the general public also.

But there’s most likely a broader conclude of the reasons why the Sokovia Accords have subsisted, even if they are undocumented heroes were responsible for saving the universe not so long ago. As much as Secretary Ross might accuse Ultron or Lagos for the Sokovia Accords, the relevant recommendations of holding superheroes must be incredibly persuasion for the governments of the world – a new forearms scoot where nukes are replaced with supes. This is partly why Steve Rogers was so opposed to the agreement, and the relationship between authority and superheroes will come into focus more with The Falcon& The Winter Soldier, with the U.S. government seemingly causing their own version of Captain America. The UN might’ve had bigger priorities during the Blip, but the Sokovia Accords are paramount is again in WandaVision.
