Considering the build-up and background behind the Illuminati, like having Captain Marvel, Professor X, and Captain Carter from previous iterations of their characters, their deaths were rather astonishing.

Power imbalance wreaks Earth-838:
Despite the gravity of the Illuminati’s death, Scarlet Witch actress’ Elizabeth Olsen brushed them off and stated that the Scarlet Witch was nerfed since the dream walking took a toll on her. She stated in a video posted to Marvel’s Instagram page:
“I thought it would’ve been easier, but the way we justified it being harder is because she’s trying to keep this physical connection inhabiting this other Wanda’s body. And so that to us was the limit, was that this is not the most well-tuned…”
we loved a nerfed queen 😻😻
