The weird thing is that they could’ve made one small tweak to make that whole sequence less egregiously shitty. They could’ve had so Wanda was the only one who could destroy the stone, but she refused to do it. And because Steve didn’t want to be That Guy and force someone to kill the man she loved, he could’ve called on T’Challa’s help because Wakandan technology was the only other thing on Earth with a chance to shatter the stone.
You still could’ve had the big Wakanda showdown with Thanos’ forces, which, let’s face it, we all wanted to see, but instead it would’ve been to win Shuri time to figure out how to destroy the stone. And this gets interrupted when the bad guys break into the lab, and destroy Shuri’s equipment, and now it all falls to Wanda to end this.
And you still could’ve had the sequence at the end with Wanda destroying Vision’s stone herself, identically. Except instead of the whole thing being preceded by the plot element of “black people risking life and limb to preserve the personality of one robot dude because if he died his white girlfriend would be sad :(”, it would’ve played out more clearly like “Wanda realizes that nobody else can do this for her, time to put her romantic feelings aside and make a sacrifice in order to save a lot of people”, without the element of selfishness that exists in the current movie. Because like, even in the movie, Vision was willing to make the sacrifice, and it was Wanda refusing. And to an audience that’s only understandable up to a point.
So like. Too bad nobody realized how tone deaf the entire thing with Vision was, because there were definitely ways to fix this.
