Returning fan here. Got a question about the current power scaling.
I saw everything up until Multiverse of Madness then I started to fall off the train and didn’t really watch anything until this year. My question is about Scarlet Witch.
I’m not big into the comics so this might overlap, but have there been ANY restrictions put on her? Like, at all? Or anybody that could beat her when both sides are really trying? Because having a character who is basically God (big G) makes everyone and everything else feel inferior. Why should I care about Ikaris, or Sentry, or anyone else who is supposedly super powerful when someone exists who could just think “I want this guy dead” and it happens?? It doesn’t help that I don’t like Wanda and find her insufferable, but she’s also stupidly OP.
I know we’re well past the Infinity Saga at this point, but it’s not good to devalue the stones this way. First in Loki when the TVA said they use the loose stones as paperweights, and now we have somebody who basically has the capabilities of the whole infinity gauntlet with none of its drawbacks. Hopefully Doom can kick her ass.

Because Doom kicking Wanda's ass would not solve the issue of ridiculous powerscaling that you're pretending to be bothered by. It would simply make Doom the most ridiculously powerful character of all instead, which still devalues the others.
Same thing if Franklin Richards beat her. Or Sentry. Or Thor. Or Strange. It wouldn't solve the theoretical issue of a character being so OP that they are trivializing any challenge the heroes might face from now on. It would just move the issue to plague another character instead. But suddenly you would probably be fine with that because at least this character would not be Wanda.
There has been a lot of extremely powerful entities and characters at least on par with Wanda, if not more powerful now, that have been introduced in the MCU and could potentially beat her depending on the writers. There is a known universe where Infinity Ultron did kill her. I guess the MCU is slowly starting to get to a point similar to the comics where power levels are so high they lose any meaning and who would win depends on who's the writers' pet and the story's protagonist.
Mostly all of the overpowered characters like Wanda and even Capt. Marvel could be neutralized via the TVA tech, and even Ragnarok's small circle device which zapped Thor who actually should have been immune to electricity.
Therefore there are already existing devices and technology to counter such immense power. If someone like Iron Man could get a hold of it, he could likely utilize it. Maybe runes could even be simulated by tech.
Bruh, did you even *watch* Multiverse of Madness?
The restrictions placed on her is that she's now dead. She's done.
