Should Wanda's villainy be freely talked about? Or should it be marked with a spoiler tag given it's presented as a dramatic twist?

I agree that it’s supposed to be quite a big twist that the trailers tried to hide from us so it should be considered a major spoiler. However, given that the twist happened very early into the story and drives pretty much the entire plot of the movie, I can understand it’s difficult to add new examples without spoiler-tagging almost the entire page.
I haven't seen the film yet, but in the trailers the twist seemed very obvious to me. If the reveal happens in the beginning of the film, I'd say we either unmark it or declare the entire work too spoilery and leave all spoilers on the page unmarked (which was done for some MCU films and shows before).
Revisiting this. To me there seems an excess of spoiler tags on the page, nearly all of it is covered which doesn't seem right? Wanda's villainy is revealed in her very first scene (sadly).
I agree that the page should be spoilers free. The entire film hinges on the early revelation that Wanda is the villain, as it stands it has massive chunks of spoilers that make reading it difficult and some entries are very awkwardly worded to accomodate spoilers. So I vote yes, make it so.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
- At one point, Strange finds a passageway only he knew how to enter, going through it to find a way to fight the villain. However, nobody thought to close the door after them, so Wanda just follows after as soon as she can.
- When Wanda finally reaches her children, they react with fear, as it'd be expected from two little kids that have just seen an Obviously Evil version of their mother appear out of nowhere and attack their real one.
Neither of these examples seem particularly surprising, I believe. To qualify as the trope, the outcome must be surprising to the audience because it subverts some established narrative convention, which I don't think is the case here. The second example definitely shouldn't qualify because character reactions to things aren't supposed to qualify at all, according to the trope page's description.

Is the Motherhood Is Superior tag accurate? From where I was watching it wasn't the case that Wanda was saying Sue could do a better job than Reed, she was justifying to herself that she wouldn't be making Reed's kids orphans when she killed him.

In terms of this film's genre. Should it really be classed as a superhero horror movie? In comparison to other films in that genre like Brightburn, The New Mutants, The Crow, and Darkman. It doesn't really fully embrace it. It's more like just a normal superhero film with touches of horror elements.
