I thought it was kind of off-putting than Jamie had a whole thing about not wanting to kill the soldiers (understandable), but then in the climax when his family was piloting that giant beetle plane, they were gleefully killing soldiers themselves. It's like the movie was contradicting itself.
You don't understand that Jaime is not the rest of his family?
All it does is show that Jaime has an upstanding sense of morality and is likely why the scarab adapted with him when it failed with so many others; though the scarab was certainly not anti-killing until Jaime forced it to be, I think it just sensed something different in him from most others.
His family was also there to save Jaime from getting murdered. Like yeah, the gleeful part may have been over-the-top, however the granny being a revolutionary means she's definitely killed soldiers before so that at least explains her.
