I mentioned that I was familiar with the Darkhold and its role from Agents of SHIELD, but I don't believe that a sufficient explanation for her complete psychopathy. It simply betrays her character development.

It was already in Wandavision that she would be corrupted by the Scarlett witch and the dark hold. Agatha’s monologue essentially foretold this movie and the stinger already had the dark hold showing her children in pain without her. She also had vision and her children to help her make the right decision but once their gone she’s back alone with the dark hold.
I understand the complaints about development if you didn’t watch Wandavision but I thought it was pretty clear from the end of Wandavision that Wanda was going to be the Villian in the next movie. I didn’t think Disney would letter go full evil.
I think the more reasonable complaint is the crazy mom trope juxtaposed against hero dads. This Strange was willing to sacrifice entire universes to protect his surrogate child from Wanda and is a hero because of it and is motivated to become more rational as a result whereas Wanda’s love for her children makes her crazy.
In retrospect I think you are right that Xavier was trying to pull out 818 Wanda but when I was watching I had originally interpreted it as the part of Wanda that wasn’t corrupted by the dark hold as well.
