If Captain American isn't a real person making real moral judgements, than neither is Wanda or Peitro.

...so? IDK about thread OP but I don't want her to have consequences because it would be OBJECTIVELY JUSTICE THAT MATTERS FOR REAL, I want her to have consequences because the STORY is partly ABOUT justice, and it should still act like it when she's on screen

the point is that when a character's moral choices are 1) repugnant and 2) incoherent, and the narrative never addresses it, this makes them unappealing as characters, and weakens any attempt at moral weight for the entire story around them

CACW is a worse movie because of the ways it hinges on Wanda and the fact that her "arc" in Ultron has no substance and no follow-up

(this is not the only problem with either of those movies, but it's definitely part of it.)

having her face actual consequences would be both emotionally satisfying and make for a more compelling narrative

If saying that Captain America forgiving/understanding Wanda 'doesn't count' because he's 'an imaginary character', than the same holds true for Wanda, who is *also* imaginary.
