Captain America: We don't trade lives, Vision.
Vision: Captain, 70 years ago, you laid down your life to save how many millions of people. Tell me, why is this any different?
— Avengers: Infinity War

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Hypocrite in this franchise.

    Films 
  • The biggest hypocrite in the MCU has to be Thaddeus Ross especially since his reintroduction in Captain America: Civil War brings his previous actions from The Incredible Hulk to light. He's a General Ripper who hunts down Bruce Banner relentlessly, blaming Bruce for injuring his daughter Betty as the Hulk. Except that the only reason Bruce became the Hulk in the first place was that Ross never told him what the gamma project really was. Ross even orders an air strike to kill the Hulk, which nearly kills Betty in the process, though he is called out on it.
  • Speaking of Ross, The Government he works for are just as hypocritical as him.
  • Surprisingly Captain America despite considered The Paragon of honesty and virtue has a moment of hypocrisy in many of the movies. Though it's important to note like Tony below this is not necessary a bad thing moreover makes Cap a Rounded Character. Here's the list:
    • In The Avengers Steve accuses Tony Stark of being useless without the suit and he should stop pretending to be a hero and which Tony bites back pointing out without the Super Serum Cap wouldn't be the Living Legend note .
      Tony Stark: A hero? Like you? You're a laboratory experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle.
    • In The Winter Soldier Steve is highly against Project Insight and considers it amorally holding a gun towards the rest of the world, Fury however claims he's read the SSR files and states Steve and rest of the Allied forces did some nasty shit during WWII. Cap acknowledges this point admitting they compromised in ways that sometimes made him “not sleep well at night”, but they did it so people could be free. And to Steve three Helicarriers equipped to kill everyone who is a threat to S.H.I.E.L.D is "fear" not "freedom"... he's got a point there.
    • In Avengers: Age of Ultron Ultron points out the fact that Steve preaches peace and love but deep down needs war and conflict to feel whole. Seeing the man's silent, gulping reply afterwards, he has a point. He also tells Tony that he hates when his teammates lie to him, all the while keeping the truth of what happened to the Starks from Tony.
    • In Civil War, it transpires that Bucky killed Howard and Maria Stark, so despite Captain America calling out Nick Fury, Black Widow and Tony Stark for their clandestine acts Captain America himself kept the assassination of Tony's parents hidden from their son for two years. When faced with the lie, Steve couldn't follow through it and admitted to Tony he knew all along. Steve apologizes to Tony via letter, saying he thought he was saving him pain by not admitting his parent's death to him but actually it was more saving himself and Bucky.
    • Another example from Civil War that also ties into more recent affairs is in Steve’s apology letter to Tony, as claims “My faith's in people, I guess. Individuals. And I'm happy to say that, for the most part, they haven't let me down. Which is why I can't let them down either.” That would be all well and good if Steve hadn’t pointedly refused to put enough faith in Tony to tell him about the Hydra killing his parents or at least let him on what knows throughout the film rather than treating Tony like a outsider (he does try it explain about Zemo’s super soldier plan at the airport but only after gathering his team which is far too late). Moreover Steve’s “faith in people” and “I can’t let them down” lines can ring hollow when he did effectively abandoned Sharon to be a fugitive herself from the UN right after she stuck her neck out for him and Sam. This explicitly causes her Start of Darkness and Face–Heel Turn into the Power Broker in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
    • In Avengers: Infinity War when Vision is more willingly to let himself die so Thanos can't get the Mind Stone, Cap refuses saying they don't “trade lives” but Vision points out he did the same thing at the end of The First Avenger. The hypocrisy is even stronger when we see how many Wakandan soldiers were killed just to buy Shuri time to try to remove the Mind Stone from Vision's head. As Vision pointed out Steve origin is defined by the sacrifice of one for many, ironically Steve prevents Vision from doing the same at the cost of the War.
  • Tony Stark has one of the most brilliant minds on the planet and is pretty goddamn heroic. However his need to atone for his past has led to a guilt complex that has cause him to react swiftly but not always wisely. Also due to his intellect and his certainty of his actions, confidence in his point of view has led him to act hypocritically in the belief he is never wrong.
  • Wanda Maximoff and Pietro Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver can be considered this, they have Irrational Hatred of Tony Stark whom they blame for the death of their parents as a mortar shell from Stark Industries killed them. So they reply by joining Hydra, the one organization on Earth who does ten times the damage Stark Industries does (though in their defence the tie-in comic This Scepter'd Isle reveals that Strucker came to them claiming to be SHIELD). It gets even worse as when Hydra fails to stop the Avengers, the twins join Ultron and only switch sides when they learn Ultron means to destroy the entire world and kill every single person (including them). Not to mention, they had no problem brainwashing The Hulk and unleashing him on a defenseless town: one wonders how many people were killed by the green artillery shell with the Maximoffs' names written on it that they themselves fired, and the irony of this is completely lost on them.
    Agatha Harkness: Ah, Wanda, the rebellious years. Quick question: your reaction to the bombing of your civilian apartment building and the murder of your parents was to join an anti-freedom terrorist organization?
    Wanda Maximoff: We wanted to change the world.
    • It’s even more tragically ironic, as fans have noted Tony wouldn’t have inherited the Stark weapons program without Hydra assassinating Howard. So by sheer extension Wanda and Pietro joined the very organisation who helped kill their parents as well as Tony’s. Though it's unknown if the Twins are actually aware of this.
  • Ultron himself proves to very hypocritical on many levels, but foremost is that he considers A.I the next step in evolution compared humans and yet his very first action is to mercilessly destroy Benevolent A.I. J.A.R.V.I.S, and Ultron has no qualms ripping apart his previous body just so he can fully “upgrade” himself. True he did care greatly for Vision, but that’s just because he wanted transfer his consciousness into him, again showing his selfishness and megalomania.
  • In Doctor Strange, Kaecilius calls the Ancient One this in the Batman Cold Open as she taps into the Dark Dimension despite forbidding it at Kamar-Taj.
  • Odin, the father of Thor, berated his son for his warmongering actions towards the Ice Giants and banished him for it. Yet as Thor: Ragnarok reveals Odin conquered the other Nine Realms by force with his daughter Hela, killing billions of lives in the process, which makes Thor topping off a few Ice Giants look completely tame in comparison. It’s strongly implied this was Odin’s Old Shame and he became a benevolent ruler as atonement for his actions, justifying why he was so hard on his sons Thor and Loki for their misdeeds.
    • Speaking of Loki, he kickstarted the plot by ensuring his “oaf” brother Thor wouldn’t be crowned king, citing his bro’s immature Hot-Blooded personality as unworthy of the throne. Come Ragnarok and Loki (disguised as Odin) is ruling Asgard and is a downright terrible king who spends most his time on a couch, drinking wine and watching plays about his “heroics”. All in all, Loki had no business criticising Thor for being unworthy of rule.
      • Though one does have to wonder at the way the films compare lazy hedonism (a surface-level reading of what Loki gets up to on the throne) to Thor's crimes and likely path at that point, had he assumed the throne: He ignored the advice of his father, sparked a war over being called a girl, slaughtered dozens of giants just defending their home, and almost certainly would have continued the war he started (and sparked more through his utter lack of interest in diplomacy) had he been given the power to do so. Intriguing how the third film makes out like Loki is the less viable ruler... which is even more hypocritical when you factor in how the film treats the colonizer Odin, lauding him as a good father figure.note 
  • Black Panther: Killmonger hates white people for believing their superior technology gives them the right to conquer the sovereign people across the globe... and then asserts that Wakanda's superior technology gives Wakanda the right to conquer the world.
    • Killmonger gets in on this a lot. Relating, in his introduction scene he gives an angry rant to a rather stuffy but otherwise innocent British woman about how the British Museum is filled with things that the white race has stolen at gun-point from various sovereign peoples over the years. Moments later, he rather coldly sets about "reclaiming" the items in the museum while she is dying on the floor from poison his accomplice administered in her coffee earlier... and he takes a non-Wakandan African ceremonial mask because he thinks it looks cool. You work that one out.
    • Killmonger despises the racism and abuse that white people have subjected to others across the world, but he holds them to much, much higher ethical standards than blacks. A point is made that Wakanda is equally complicit in the European colonialism that ruined Africa by having the power to prevent it but choosing to sit on their hands arbitrarily. He has no issue with subjugating other non-white racial groups who have also suffered from imperialism and aggression: one of his first targets is Hong Kong, a Chinese-majority city that was only conceded back to China by Britain in the very late 20th Century. Even when he is insisting that he is helping black people, he has no issue with killing them or bossing them around if they get in his way: when Klaue tries to use his girlfriend against him, Erik shoots her dead without batting an eye.
    • All these moments are meant to underscore that while his grievances over the African diaspora are in many ways legitimate, it's T'Challa, the hero of the story, who is the one addressing those grievances in a positive and contemporary fashion. Killmonger wants to invert White Man's Burden as a motive to Take Over the World because he believes that the world would be better under Wakanda's control.
  • Dr Strange has two moments in Avengers: Infinity War. Firstly, he remarks over Tony’s ego saying he wonders how he fits his head into his helmet. Sure most people have a right to call out Tony’s Awesome Ego, but this coming from the doctor who got his Career-Ending Injury solely because he was too damn egotistical for his own good is a little rich. Later Strange has a Hypocrite Heartwarming moment since despite stating coldly he’d sacrifice Tony and Spider-Man to protect the Time Stone, when the moment came he saved Iron Man’s life by giving up the Stone. However, given that this one happened after he watch over 14 million possible futures, it's more than likely that he changed his mind, due to the possibility that some of those futures go to hell due to him sacrificing Tony and Peter.
    Wanda: You break the rules and become a hero. I do it and I become the enemy. That doesn't seem fair.
    • Which in itself is an example of hypocrisy. Strange, while using questionable and reckless means, nevertheless fought to protect the universe and willingly laid down his life hundreds, if not thousands of times in a row to drive off Dormammu, and let himself get turned to dust to follow the path to victory against Thanos. Wanda intends to murder an alternate version of herself to steal that person's life and family, and will sacrifice an innocent teenager to gain the needed power to do it, along with dozens of people trying to protect said teenager.
  • Ego the Living Planet from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a huge hypocrite. He gave a Motive Rant about how he wanted to find meaning by exploring life on other gualaxies because he was alone. However, his entire Assimilation Plot is to destroy that life he claims to have admired and he killed Peter's mom because his love for her would keep him from fulfilling his plans. So even though he wanted to find other lives to not be alone, he still dropped the ball on his chances of turning his life around.
    • Ego even demonstrated hypocrisy earlier during his first encounter with the Guardians of the Galaxy. He called Yondu a bastard after hearing how he threatened to feed Peter to his crew, whereas Ego himself murdered millions of his own children and is even the reason why Yondu kept Peter in the first place.
  • Thanos, despite being a mostly Noble Demon who dislikes lying and cowardice, has moments of extreme hypocrisy during Infinity War.
    • He takes sadistic pleasure in forcing people to choose between seeing their loved ones tortured or killed and giving up an Infinity Stone, so despite claiming to have idealistic motives, it appears that he sometimes just wants to cause people pain. He also kills half of the refugee Asgardians when he attacks their ship, and then later halves their population again during the snap, despite the fact that there weren't many Asgardians left to begin with, and Thanos' stated reason for slaughtering half of every species is to give the other half a better chance to survive. After having their population depleted that much, the Asgardians will definitely not have a better chance of survival.
    • Thanos's stated goal is to save all of life by cutting the population of each species in half at random, dispassionately instead of to drive any specific goal. It's pretty clear though he bends his own rules to make exceptions. For instance, he slaughtered all of the dwarves on Nidavellir after they built the Infinity Gauntlet for him, and spared Eitri solely due to personal preferences.
    • Thanos berates the Avengers for their arrogance, but begins to display stunning arroance himself after seeing that a future version of himself succeeded. His last words, "I am inevitable", are nearly a declaration of godhood.
    • Endgame makes this more apparent as 2014 Thanos is furious that the Avengers gave Earth and the Universe a second chance by getting the Infinity Stones via Time Travel. This coming from the Titan whose main source of angst was his inability to save his own planet and people refusing to see his good intentions when he commits atrocities is freaking rich.
  • Spider-Man: Far From Home: Quentin Beck aka Mysterio is one, on multiple levels:
    • During his big Motive Rant to his cronies, Beck goes about how Tony was the "jester king" and a "boozy manchild" who was "unfit" to wield the technology at his disposal or give to it to a teenager. While some of that rings true, Mysterio himself is still little more than a Psychotic Manchild and Heroic Wannabe who just wants the wealth, fame and status of Iron Man and doesn't actually care about saving lives as Tony and Peter do. In fact, Beck thinks more casualties will give him better coverage.
    • Beck's Freudian Excuse is that Tony used his holographic technology as a self therapy machine and called it B.A.R.F, this instance Beck uses as a reason why Tony was a terrible boss after getting fired for being "unstable". Except Beck doesn't acknowledge his own actions towards his loyal followers, including bullying them, belittling them and outright threatening shoot them all in the head if he's uncovered. Something Tony would never have done to his allies, so his firing of Beck was completely justified.
    • During the holographic Mind Screw he gives Spidey towards the end, Beck gloats that Peter is just a "scared little kid in a sweatsuit". This is pretty rich coming from the guy who has no superpowers, is wearing a full body Motion Capture suit (as well as a fancy "hero" costume which is just cosmetic), and relies on a entire team of henchmen to disguise all these facts to the world.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: The High Evolutionary is this in spades:
    • The High Evolutionary venomously criticizes the bigotry and violence of humanity, which is a bit rich coming from a man who looks down on everyone, treats Rocket and his ilk as failed experiments simply for not looking humanoid, and brutally incinerates those who fail to live up to his standards. Up to and including planets.
    • He claims to value intelligence, creativity, and compassion in his creations. However, Lylla and especially Rocket exhibit plenty of these traits, yet he orders them killed for their physical defects. It's notably implied that the reason he wants Rocket dead is because he may be smarter than the High Evolutionary. If his goals were genuine, he would have been happy, but since the High Evolutionary's goals are to feed his own narcissism, he instead lashes out.
    • He deems The Sovereign failures for being Brainless Beauties with an inflated sense of self-importance. Never mind the fact that he deliberately made them that way (on top of his own narcissism), so what was he expecting? The only reason he keeps them around instead of eradicating them like he did with various other "failed experiments" is because they are still useful to him as grunts, showing that he's also inconsistent. Also, his description of them also describes himself.
    • He claims to be a wise and cultured man of science, but he proves to be rather incompetent at it. He is incapable of remaining objective, his experiments are often haphazard and needlessly brutal, and he barely seems to comprehend science and medicine himself without outside help.
    • He wants his creations to be compassionate and pillars of moral character, while he is utterly immoral and thinks nothing of committing genocide at the drop of a hat. Notably, he expects his creations to kill for him and sees absolutely no contradiction in this.
    • Finally, for a self-proclaimed atheist, he certainly has the pride and aspirations of omnipotence of a God, with a hubris and monstrously large ego to match. Not to mention openly acknowledging that Knowhere is the severed head of a dead god moments after declaring his atheism; implying that he does not so much deny the existence of Gods as he considers himself to be a God above all others.

    Live-Action TV 
  • Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: A constant theme with the villains.
    • "Who You Really Are" (S2E12): When Mack finds out about Fitz and Skye keeping Skye's powers a secret, he says "Secrets don't help any of us." This from the guy who is hiding the fact that he is working for a rival faction of S.H.I.E.L.D. to usurp Coulson.
    • Throughout season 2, the "real" S.H.I.E.L.D. insists on transparency among its leadership and blames the whole HYDRA debacle on Fury's secret-keeping. This comes from an organization even more unknown than the above-ground S.H.I.E.L.D. that Coulson is running, and which is actively trying to undermine Coulson without having to confront him personally. They also criticize Coulson for how he has been running things and feel like he hasn't been doing his job properly when as far as we know they've done nothing to help fight HYDRA (their moles notwithstanding) and seem more concerned with reining Coulson in than actually helping the world. The fact that they call themselves the real S.H.I.E.L.D. is also fairly hypocritical when they more or less acknowledge that Fury turned over power to Coulson (they may not know Fury's alive, but they know Fury gave Coulson the Toolbox). Hunter is quick to lampshade all of this.
      • Not to mention that almost all of Coulson's actions that they bring up as "proof" of his unsuitability were all done to keep potentially nuke-level weapons out of Hydra's hands. What, would they rather he'd sat back and let Hydra take an object that turns people to stone?
    • "Afterlife" (S2E16):
      • Gonzales, head of "real" S.H.I.E.L.D. He talks about how Coulson cannot be trusted because he is acting like a fugitive when it was his own coup that turned Coulson into a fugitive in the first place. He later makes a long speech to May about how S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot stand divided at a time like this, even though he's the one refusing to work with Coulson. May even threw this same point in his face when she said they should both be fighting HYDRA, which he ignored. He also disregards input from others despite the fact that he claims "Real" S.H.I.E.L.D. runs on democratic principle and makes it clear that his offer to May was done only because he has to abide by those rules rather than because he actually wants to.
      • A minor case with Skye; she kept ranting about how Raina couldn't be trusted because she's killed people. Jiaying called her out on this by saying that she was just as capable of killing as Raina, though the fact that Raina did so far more maliciously and by choice rather than necessity as Skye did, not to mention the laundry list of other crimes she committed, is glossed over.
      • Gordon hates the way that inhumans are treated by the world, but not only is he intolerant of normal humans, he's just as intolerant of abnormal humans who got their powers by different means. Gordon tells Cal "you're not one of us, you're just a science experiment." Which ignores the fact that the inhumans are also a science experiment, the only difference is which planet the scientists are from.
    • "The Dirty Half Dozen" (S2E19):
      • When May tells Coulson off about all the secrets he's been keeping from her, he fires back that she kept him in the dark about his resurrection.
      • For all his talk of transparency, Gonzales gets put on the spot by Coulson when the latter mentions the dangerous cargo the Iliad is carrying. It's not clear just how much Gonzales has told his own branch about it, but he's nevertheless shocked that Coulson knows of it.
      • Gonzales (again) justifies potentially getting Coulson's entire team killed because their enemy has no honor. Says the man stabbing fellow agents in the back, as Bobbi calls him on, and plans to betray Coulson as soon as it's convenient.
      • Gonzales for the third time this episode: He's been suspecting Coulson of recruiting and stockpiling superhumans for a personal agenda the entire time, yet when Skye, Lincoln, and Deathlok make it back to the Playground, Gonzales plans to hold them prisoner so he can learn the location of even more superhumans. He even goes so far as to admit that the only reason he endorsed the mission was that he'd be able to take them prisoner if Coulson succeeded.
    • "Lockup" (S4E5):
      • Director Mace's Catchphrase is "The team that trusts, triumphs." Mace seems to miss the fact that his continuous security screenings of Simmons at the very least provide the impression that he doesn't trust her, which is why nobody on Team Coulson trusts him.
        Jeffrey: A team that trusts is a team that triumphs. But trust must be earned with random non-invasive testing.
      • There's also Nadeer, who accuses S.H.I.E.L.D. of working with criminals, one of whom (Robbie, to be exact) she calls a "cold-blooded killer", while she herself is working with The Watchdogs, an organization of murderous criminals.
    • "The Good Samaritan" (S4E6): Mace chews out Coulson for not keeping him the loop, but it falls flat since he himself frequently keeps his agents in the dark about his plans.
    • "Wake Up" (S4E11): Nadeer again, when she accuses S.H.I.E.L.D. of taking the law into their own hands. Ignoring the fact that that is arguably S.H.I.E.L.D.'s job in the first place, Nadeer herself is funding an extrajudicial terrorist group.
    • And then there's Grant Ward. He wants forgiveness from others, but never grants it himself; he punishes others for their disloyalty to him, yet he's a traitor; he resents the abuse he suffered, yet is himself a walking collection of red flags.
  • Daredevil:
    • A lot of attention is called to the fact that Matt enforces the law as a lawyer, while simultaneously breaking it with reckless abandon by acting as a superhero. Similarly, he and Father Lantom struggle with the fact that he's a Catholic who may have to actively kill a man.
    • In "Nelson v. Murdock", Foggy is right to call Matt out for not seeing the negatives of his Daredevil work, yet Foggy is guilty of doing the same thing (going out and putting a stop to crime) to a lesser extent, seeing as he did use his softball bat a few episodes earlier to beat up a few thugs who were attacking Karen, and in season 2 we see him go into a Dogs of Hell clubhouse all by himself to seek out information.
    • While Karen is one to call Matt and Foggy out for holding secrets, she's seemingly ignoring the fact that she's kept secret from them the fact that she killed James Wesley, as well as the secret past of hers regarding her brother.
    • Wilson Fisk does not welcome intrusions on his privacy or people using his loved ones against him. He's perfectly willing to do those sorts of things himself to underlings or innocent pawns to control them.
    • Leland Owlsley thinks that Fisk's new relationship with Vanessa is distracting him from getting on with his criminal ventures. Fisk points out that Leland has a son, which means at some point in the past he fell in love with a woman, and still had time to be a successful criminal.
    • Dex tells Ray Nadeem how cold it was for him to hire a lawyer to help him get reinstated into the FBI while secretly working with Matt to investigate him. That's very rich coming from a sociopath who stalks people and secretly enjoys killing but hides it behind a nice guy facade.
  • Iron Fist:
    • Colleen Wing has to uneasily admit to hypocrisy when, right after telling Darryl to not fight in the name of money, she participates in some underground cage matches to get money for her dojo's upkeep and video from one of them surfaces on YouTube.
    • Joy Meachum states that she's more open-minded than her brother's Black-and-White Morality. But at the end of the day, she's as obstinate as Ward in her opinions and is all too willing to side with her untrustworthy father despite Ward warning how dangerous Harold is while spitting excuses for his behavior.
  • Luke Cage:
    • For all of Mariah's stance about Harlem and not liking the n-slur, when Misty has her on the ropes she shows that it's just a front and not only does she call people the n-slur, she also isn't above using stereotypes to get away as she says it's common for black workers to steal inventory when Misty asks why the microphone stand that she used to kill Cottonmouth mysteriously vanished.
    • During her rally at Harlem's Paradise, Mariah suggests that Jessica Jones lied about Kilgrave's powers and his raping her, which is the exact kind of skepticism and victim-blaming that led to her snapping and killing Cottonmouth.
    • Luke's father preached a high standard of morality from the pulpit, all the while keeping a mistress on the side, employed by his church and having sex in his office there (siring Willis Stryker in the process).
    • Diamondback tells Mariah "You should never talk about murder on an open line," right after blatantly talking about dispatching Shades and Damon Boone on an open phone line.
    • Hypocrisy clearly runs in the Stokes family. Season 2 reveals that for all Mama Mabel's talk about "family first," and an anecdote Shades gives in season 1 about her standing up to wifebeaters, she also allowed her brother-in-law Pete to rape Mariah repeatedly and did nothing to stop it. She even forced Mariah to go through with giving birth to Tilda, with no regard for Mariah's wishes. It's also made apparent that Mariah's rape was just Mabel's excuse for having Pete killed; she really only cared that Pete was betraying the family by allying with Salvador Colon.
  • The Punisher:
    • William Rawlins III tries to make it look like everything he's done is for the sake of national security, something he does by overseeing an illegal drug trafficking operation that involves desecrating the corpses of servicemen to smuggle heroin to the United States.
    • Lewis Wilson talks a lot about rights (including his freedom of assembly when he's arrested on the steps of the courthouse). Then he's set on killing Karen for writing a story critical of him. Moreso since military personnel swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, which includes the First Amendment, which explicitly covers "Freedom of Speech" and "Freedom of the Press".
  • WandaVision:
    • When their dog Sparky dies, Billy and Tommy beg their mother Wanda to use her powers to resurrect him. Wanda then gives them a lecture about how they have to learn to cope with death as a natural part of life. Never mind the fact that Wanda recreated Vision and enslaved the entire town of Westview to act out her fantasy of suburban domestic bliss in a sitcom setting and avoid having to cope with her grief. (Although she eventually did cope with it in a way.)
    • Agatha claims that Wanda doesn't know what she's unleashed by becoming the Scarlet Witch, right after having awakened Wanda to the full potential of her powers in trying to steal them.
    • In a flashback, Agatha begs her coven and mother not to kill her by stealing her life and magic, and it is implied that she planned on doing the same thing to them. She then does the same thing to Wanda.
    • Tyler Hayward is critical of Wanda for disregarding Vision's wishes by resurrecting him, and notes that Vision's will stipulated that he didn't want to be brought back out of fear of being used as a sentient weapon...which is exactly what Hayward is doing himself. The final episode confirms that he's actively framing Wanda for his own crimes.
