Oh ya....they really establish her to be inexperienced and scared by having Hawkeye show up and tell her to "get off her ass," which prompts her to pile drive Vision 50 yards or so underground (while manipulating his infinity stone) for no real reason. Why are they even together all of a sudden? Other than "because they get together in the comics." Matter of fact, why does the same romance subplot of "you have to kill me if it comes to it!" exist twice in this movie? When the pacing is already this hectic, and you got this much shit going on, wtf is the point?

I also don't buy the whole emotional instability of Wanda. If she can muster the strength she needs to kill Vision, who she supposedly loves, then she can muster the strength/adrenaline response necessary to defend him in the middle of the movie.

Keep in mind where her fuck up happened last time, she was in the middle of a crowded city area with lots of civilians around her, much like in Scotland where she first appeared with Vision, also... remember they were both just chilling out on a romantic get away, they were not expecting someone to drive a stake through Visions (previously God like) body. The second time she uses her powers she is on a battlefield, there are no civilians there, every person on the field is fighting and knows they are potentially risking their lives, also... she is not in "picnic with lover" mindset.

Ultimately, I think they've just done a poor job of clearly defining her powers. Not just in terms of what her true power level is, but also WHAT her powers even are. For example, when we're first introduced to her, she has the ability to manipulate people's minds. What ever happened to that? Seems like it would be a neat party trick vs a bunch of supped up bad guys. In Age of Ultron you very much get the impression that she basically does magic, now her power set comes across more like a telekinetic with red lights. If you tweaked her red visuals slightly, and made them fire, she'd basically be the Phoenix at this point. Does Feige know he's getting the Xmen soon?
