I can only imagine that in the film universe the same would be true. I'll give them a pass too because honestly if true to form it would be a five second movie and it's over because the side she's on won.

Oh, Wanda is extremely powerful...but unintentionally so. Strange's revelation at the end of Disassembled was consistent with Marvel's narrative for her through the years. She's untrained and taps reality bending energies. At one point, she was slated to be the host/avatar for Chthon, one the "Elder Gods." Being over-the-top powerful makes sense, from that context. Unfortunately, that Darkhold stuff is all but forgotten and now she's tough "just because"...

I wish they'd make up their minds and elevate her, corrupt her (I think she'd make a great villain to hero to villain again with "evil" as her permanent final status), or neuter her. This nebulous shit is bad form. If they're going to flesh her out, they need to commit to some consistency somewhere. Marvel desperately needs strong editorial leadership...
