The reason you probably do not get any definition of her power is the same with a lot of superhero movies that tries to explain something that took multiple series within a comic in a 2 hour movie where a particular character is not the main.  You either know about wanda and her link to the mind stone and her powers or you do not.  If you do not she is just another character in a sea of characters with red glowing hands that does something.  Also her powers is not mind control its reality control.  Either way, in the end you can pretty much nick pick any movie over this or that, the overall presentation was pretty solid and does make you want to see the next film right away.

Who knows, maybe they will give her a bigger role in some Marvel chick flick or something either way I call it a non issue.  

I never said I didn't enjoy the movie. Though, calling it a movie feels almost odd. Watching it feels more like watching a very long season finale of show, rather than a self contained movie with a beginning, middle, and end. In any case, I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it is is. Doesn't mean I can't nitpick. I like to nitpick.

Most middle sequels are like that.  Going into the movie, I wonder did anyone expect this to be the final.  It ended pretty much like any movie that might have a 2 to 3 movies to tie up the saga.  I look at it like the first 3 star wars movies.  Nothing really wrong with nitpicking, I guess I was getting the wrong vibe, text is hard that way.  I can definitely agree that if you did not read any marvel comics you would be wondering what the heck is her power.  

You kind of get a nod to this point from the movie when she hits the battlefield. Throws those machines back at the enemy and Black Panther captain of his guard says, why the hell was she not on the battlefield.  I am sure the directors and writers know that they were pretty thin with Wanda and what she can do but time budget is huge in a movie like this and it was already long.
