Why is Elizabeth Olsen Called Mother by Her Fans?

From the moment the Scarlet Witch star Elizabeth Olsen entered the scene, fans were absolutely mesmerized by her. And now as the years have passed, with almost zero controversies in her pocket, she is the internet’s “mother”. But why?

Her fun personality and humble nature all come into play, and over the years, her numerous interviews and on-screen appearance showcasing those traits really cemented her status as the fan favorite. Her entry in the MCU saga, further surged her popularity, especially among Gen Z, earning her the esteemed title of “mother”

Although it’s true that her spin-off  MCU show, WandaVision, portrayed her to be a fierce mother, but that’s not precisely why fans refer to her as such.

The recent years also have seen the influx of TikTok edits featuring snippets from her interviews and funny behind-the-scenes clips, and rightfully so, showcasing the immense love and respect her loyal legion of fans has for her.
