    if you kill him you will be just like him!

    Five year old me knew that was bullshit and I will never ever write a hero who won’t kill the bad guy

      It’s especially rich when the protagonist has offed dozens of enemy red shirts across the first 75 minutes of the movie but when it comes to the main bad guy, suddenly there’s a moral quandary over whether or not killing for the greater good is justified.

        This is just another instance of class morality.

          That’s always how I saw it, even as a kid.

        That’s why in my book, the protagonists real argument isn’t whether or not killing is justified, it’s who they should be killing

        The answer ends up being the entire US government

          Does nothing of the US elite isn’t eliminated entirely. But it’s a good starting point.

            That comes in the sequel

            Where they begin to form their own country and crash against the forces of the rich attempting to claw back their influence

            Elon Musk gets hacked to bits with a machete when he tries to flee the planet

        Guardians of the Galaxy 3 did that. I’m pretty sure one of the henchmen got ripped in half at one point.

          That movie immediately came to mind for me as well.

          Unrelated

          I cried so hard when they tortured the raccoon. 😭

          Can’t imagine why. side-eye-2

              The third was actually my favorite. It was dumb that they let the bad guy live at the end, but that was my only real complaint. Rocket’s arc was poignant in a terrific way.

      Lol only reason that shit flies is because authors gotta recycle their villains or hope they end up like the prince of all saiyans as a badass ally vegeta-stare Especially when the person you’re taking out will cause mass deaths. Kakarot let frieza live on namek. What would have happened to earth if he didn’t land on yadrat and learn instant transmission? Hell he let golden frieza off the hook and he dusted the earth sadness-abysmal

      Hell we as gogeta let frieza go and he came back and fuck us up i-cant

        I’m very good at coming up with villains

        Like Explodo, the Exploding Man

        Or Duane, Explodo’s evil mail man

        to be fair goku has motivation to leave most alive (he loves fighting strong opponents) and he also actually pays for it many times over as far as i know
