40* TheDanza: Her character in ''Film/LiberalArts'' is named Elizabeth, though she's mostly called [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Zibby]] throughout the film.
41* MemeAcknowledgment: An interview with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwF1TaRmnLs&t=27s Entertainment Weekly]] has established that she is aware that her fanbase refers to her, playing Wanda, as their "Mom".
42-->'''Elizabeth Olsen:''' I really love being called someone's "mom". You know, that's like a thing I didn't know about, but I'm called that a lot. I would love for someone to teach me the evolution of that phrase.
43* MsFanservice: It's joked that the only good reason to watch the American remake of ''Film/{{Oldboy|2013}}'', if not for the retroactive MCU cast members,[[labelnote:Including ]]Creator/JoshBrolin (Thanos), Creator/PomKlementieff (Mantis), and Creator/SamuelLJackson (Nick Fury)[[/labelnote]] is for her nude scenes, and she also went nude for her debut in ''Film/MarthaMarcyMayMarlene''. In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', Wanda's Avengers uniform had an ImpossiblyLowNeckline, leading Olsen to comment to the press that she was uncomfortable being the only woman in these movies whose cleavage was showing during battle scenes.
44* StarMakingRole: [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch Wanda Maximoff]] in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. It truly started with ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', then ''Series/WandaVision'' elevated her from a supporting player to a top-billed star. That being said, she became a critic darling way back in ''Film/MarthaMarcyMayMarlene''.
