What an amazing season finale to WandaVision. However, with Wanda embracing her powers, are the Scarlet Witch children dead?
Obviously, that lede is a bit confusing, especially if you didn't watch the finale. As it should be known by know, spoilers are inbound.
Scarlet Witch Children dead? WandaVision Fallout!
This is a complicated answer. It's something we touched on in our “Is Vision dead” post from earlier, as well as our explanation post of the two post-credit scenes that followed the season finale of WandaVision.
In turn, we'll be regurgitating some of the theories from those here; though we have a bit more of a stronger idea of what's happening with the Scarlet Witch children with the second post credit scene.
We should also note, to avoid confusion, we're asking if “the Scarlet Witch children are dead” since Wanda has fully embraced her red-tinted crown thing. Basically, at least as it appears with Phase 4 now in full swing, Wanda is Scarlet for at least a little bit. I don't want to dive to deep into what that means here, as we discussed that in the above linked-to posts.
As to the idea the Scarlet Witch children are dead, the answer is apparently no; although they were never real to begin with.
As it was with Westview Vision, coupling Wanda's powers with the Mind Stone, the Scarlet Witch children were simply her sadness, hope and love. They were created. That said, she did use this line, which reads a bit cryptic, before they vanished near the end of the episode: “Thank you for choosing me to be your mom.”
Unlike everyone else in Westview, that is either weird writing by the script folk, or it's a hint that the children CHOSE to be there (for one reason or another).
Anyway, at the end of the second post-credits scene, as Scarlet Witch is doing her thing and season one of WandaVision is coming to a close, the Scarlet Witch children can be heard screaming for her help.
Are they alive? Not in the truest sense of the word, but they're not dead. Again, like it was for Westview Vision, it appears as though Wanda's powers and more than likely the Mind Stone is helping her creations become cross-dimensional, which can help her become a possible antagonist in the upcoming Doctor Strange flick.
Plenty of that is conjecture, but we know for sure — unlike she was imaging it — the Scarlet Witch children are not inherently dead. They are floating about somewhere.
