Don't warp my posts to subvert my arguments, trying to make wanda look as bad as possible while letting off people who were in situations like she was, worse even. Had she had murdered Magneto in cold blood like Emma and Scott did with their victims would you feel so lenient? I don't think so. Wanda caused enormous suffering, nobody is denying that but so did the Phoenix Five yet only one of us thinks both are crimes which should be punished and that the severity of their punishment should be impacted by the circumstances which made them out of character. She did go to Doom, but that didn't make what she did intentional or that she wasn't remorseful of her actions. The fact she may not be completely evil is tossed aside, when we both know the circumstances which lead her down this road didn't put her in her right mind. She didn't intentionally kill people, Scott and Emma did. What they went though does show that they were punished for their actions yet you don't seem to care that they didn't fulfilling their sentences and are living it up on Krakoa better than Wanda ever has. They have money, power and influence. They got everything back and then some, the events of the Phoenix Five are long over Wanda's never stopped. Sympathy can be extended to more than one person, and want does deserve some compassion for what happened. She's not Mr Sinister. Why is it so hard to believe that the Phoenix Force and the Life Force both corrupt the personalities of those who wield them? And how Doom was a big part in how Wanda got to where she was, there are no threads about putting Doom on trial for M-Day. It was bad that they escaped from prison considering what they did, all Wanda did was depower people they took over the world and did things like put Avengers in hell and put X-men on faraway worlds with no way home for objecting to that (that's what Magik did, which is continuously ignored). Had Wanda done something like that she would never have ben forgiven by the X-fandom.
Directly, as in they both personally murdered people with their powers.
Your reaction to Wanda implies she did this sort of act with every person who died from her actions, when they were unintentional. Her anger was at Magneto and all he got was de powered.
It's not Wanda didn't have reprisals for what she did, and I agree she should have been put on trial for her crimes. It's not like her life hasn't been put through the ringer at times over that. The incidents where she "started" things were unintentional and she's been remorseful ever since. Starting things is not how we judge whether something is wrong, the entire context is required for that. You allow this for the Phoenix Five but not for Wanda. Doom is afterthought.
Don't be disingenuous by omitting how I have been open about Wanda paying for her crimes, I just don't think she should be under the prison. There's far more options than Capital E Evil and Innocent of all charges, which I've covered in my posts. Where is this condemnation when the "Wanda haters" attack her like she's the worst thing ever to happen to the X-men and is worse then all the X-villains put together? There is no nuance, unless you're an X-man.There's no logical sense behind this line of thought, it looks like you're just making excuses for Wanda now.
She has been victimised and tormented by the X-men. Rogue murdered her! Cyclops tried to lynch her on the spot. Every time she's in an X-man's presence there is no compassion, from people who should be able to sympathise with what she went through. But unless you're an X-man they simply don't care, then they have the nerve to ally themselves with people who have tortured and tried to kill them (and numerous other people) and act like they have the moral high ground. Wanda realised allying with Doom was a bad decision, they made a nation with theirs.Wanda did not a single day in prison, she was free in East Europe living her best life and when she came back she tried to look like a victim.
But they did once they got to Krakoa, that's full recovering their trust. IvX was a disaster, but you're being too comfortable with the X-man as though they haven't been jerks over the years. No, they weren't treated badly by the whole hero community, they just happened to exist in a comic book universe where Marvel wanted to have more extreme storylines in their corner and the other heroes lived in their own designated corners. It's not like the X-men have been helping the Avengers when Kang takes over the Earth. In Avengers Forever they were nowhere to be found when humanity was being wiped out through space and time.Scott and Emma never recovered their teammates trust up until Krakoa when you add IvX to the equation, and they were treated badly by the whole hero community. Goddess, the X-Men hated them so much that Beast broke time-space for teaching Scott a lesson lol.
Beast bought teenage versions of the 05 to the present to teach Scott a lesson. The horror!
And still no word on the rest of the Phoenix Five, they weren't the the Phoenix Two.
