Current Events > I dislike when in movies an assassin blows up security just to shoot at a target

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like you clearly have no problems with explosives, why not just blow up the target too?

These assissins are super good at killing like 20 security people but then 1 target they struggle with.

Whatever you did with the other 20, do that for that guy! Silly assassins, just get out of your own head and kill the target the same way you would a security guy.

Yeah movies are so unrealistic

Gotta have a corpse for proof of death sometimes, as opposed to a pile of wagyu beef.

The autopsy would confirm by dental records, plus i think it would be easier to prove somebody is in a car and blow it up then, shoot them. Just place a bomb on the car, and have a scoped rifle that has like video recording then you can show them getting blowed up or something.

Is this a common trope?

I'm talking in terms of like "Bring me his head!"

Admittedly I'm just seriously reaching for the sake of argument.

Fair enough.

Yeah if I was reaching for the sake of argument I'd come up with 2 things:
1. The assassin means to blow up everybody but it's super bad luck the only kinda blows up the main character/target in the main vehicle
2. Since the target is so important they are in an even MORE super strong car that looks exactly the same but has twice the explosion resistance but nobody ever brings it up.
