Even when it's a clear act of euthanasia, or when the villain is so beyond evil that it is absolutely clear that sparing him will result in some kind of genocide or mass killing spree.
Bioshock 2 spoilers. The worst part about this trope is that usually this moral dilemma is presented after the hero has already killed like 200 canon fodder henchmen. As above, how many goddamn splicers did you mow down on the way? --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!

Killing is fun! That's how I know it's bad because fun isn't allowed.

Good guys not murdering people in cold blood isn't a problem IMO. I think it's bullshit to deliberately work your way through the villain's territoriy mowing down hundreds of low tier thugs only to suddenly decide right at the last second that you can't go through with putting the actual baddie in the dirt. If all it takes to change your mind is that it's gonna be an act of defense, why put yourself in that position? And to be honest because of that nonsense it's exactly how a lot of these encounters end. Good guy only kills him when bad guy is about to do something violent again.

Comic writers are also low-tier. Bad writing is bad writing and I could find you examples across the board. Hell I bet if I was motivated enough I could find an example from Neil Gaiman or someone. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!

It is really lame like these stories are written by pacifist types who were overprotected in life.
And Batman media's problem is the logic of the state not wanting to give the death penalty to the Joker and others. Plus, how has a cop not "feared for his/her life", which would be totally justified, and just shot and killed one of the villains at some point? Or some citizen who finally got tired of all the BS and went vigilante? I can buy Batman being mentally ill and still being scarred by his parents' deaths and hates any kind of murder, but what about everyone else? --- https://imgur.com/hslUvRN When I sin I sin real good. ...

Batman against a C-grade villain, punching and jumping around a warehouse and shit, and one of Gotham's finest shows up and the villain turns on the cop, who then shoots him dead and Batman's got a whoooole new element of his modus and character that needs exploring. And while the cop might not have necessarily been "morally" right in shooting the villain, the threat was justifiable. That's got to have happened at some point, right? I couldn't believe that's never happened. And I don't mean in a "turns out the cop was dirty" scenario either. It can't just be "Gotham police let Batman do his thing" on one side and "dirty cops who Batman would go for anyway" on the other. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard!
