given that the maximoffs eventually become heroes, i doubt they were meant to be actual nazi sympathizers. for myself and many others who were upset, it was less that we thought they had become actual nazis, and more that marvel would choose in any way to align jewish-romani children of holocaust survivors with a nazi organization.

The Maximoff’s Jewish-Romani heritage being gone is the only reason I can’t properly get behind Age of Ultron as a whole, to be honest. I know no-one ever said they weren’t, but…blegh.(Then again, I’m lead to believe the Marvel comics have erased their heritage too. Double blegh.)
They do seem a lot more like victims of HYDRA than really aligned to them, though? That’s the feeling I got anyway. Then again, a lot of their storyline felt quite rushed and incomplete…
