[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8685809, member: 5889"] One thing my friend pointed out, saying Wanda "sacrificed her happiness" is a bit like saying a bank robber "sacrificed their happiness" by giving up all the money they stole after they got caught. Now in Wanda's case its a much more emotional scenario, but again it doesn't forgive the crime. As for Loki, the reason no one is questioning it is....Loki did get punished. he was convicted and thrown in jail, and if he were to wind up on earth and earth officials had their way, he would get thrown right back in jail. Loki is only free because he escaped (aka he is an escaped convict). So we have seen society at least attempt to punish Loki for his crimes, but Wanda was not. Now I think a much more fair comparison is Tony Stark. Realistically, Tony should have been MUCH more culpable for his creation of ultron, and realistically some form of prison time was likely in the cards. The fact that Tony not only escaped all real culpability, but ultimately was seen as a hero across the world.... could be seen as a slap in the face compared to how Wanda's being treated. To me though, that is just more how rich and famous people can get away with things the rest of us can't.... the fact that a rich and famous person was probably able to buy justice and then use PR to make themselves look good again in the eyes of the public....well that's all too realistic. Also, when people die saving the world....a lot gets forgiven. I mean if Wanda had died saving the world instead of cleaning up her own mess, she might have gotten to go out as a hero as well.
