"For over 30 years, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff were a pair of Romani and Jewish twins who were born with powers, whose parents met in Auschwitz. The movie changed them into a pair of white twins who received their powers from getting experimented on by Nazis — in the comics, at least, they didn’t volunteer and they got their powers from a non-Nazi scientist, instead. Remember that when you go into this movie (if you do). This movie transformed two superheroes who were part of two marginalized groups and whose backgrounds had major origins in the Holocaust, to two more white superheroes who willingly ally themselves with the Nazis. Think about that. Remember that."
