Regarding Monica\'s line in episode 9, \
to:
Regarding Monica\\\'s line in episode 9, \\\"They will never know what you sacrificed for them\\\", would it be better to place that under UnintentionallyUnsympathetic or Narm? I\\\'m not sure about Narm, because the line isn\\\'t really unintentionally funny, at least to me, but a lot of people have pointed out how ridiculous it is.
As for UnintentionallyUnsympathetic, does this ruin her whole character? No, it\\\'s just a moment that rubbed people the wrong way, which is why I think UU works better. It doesn\\\'t make her a DesignatedHero or anything.
Also, just to acknowledge some of the rebuttals I\\\'ve heard, while Wanda dismisses this statement by telling her \\\"it wouldn\\\'t change how they see me\\\", Monica is still a main protagonist and someone we are most certainly supposed to sympathize with. And Monica responds to this by saying that if she had Wanda\\\'s powers, she would have brought her mother back, once again defending Wanda\\\'s actions.
Overall, the line comes off as really tone-deaf. Giving something back that you have stolen is not a sacrifice, it\\\'s basic human decency. Even reviewers who love the series have called out this line.
