But wonderwoman doesn't hesitate to kill! I changed my mind about her actually. She's the right temprement to be a hero!

[quantumreality]

I think it's kind of a requirement of the hero genre that they kill bad guys without compunction. That said, I think there are some shows that purposely subvert this, for example - Avatar: The Last Airbender where Aang has to wrestle with his conscience regarding Fire Lord Ozai.

DC typically doesn't have their characters kill. In a story from about 10 years ago Wondy got in big trouble when she snapped Max Lord's neck to save Superman. Batman especially was less than pleased.

...have you ever read Marvel or DC comics before? In both companies, superheroes killing supervillains is treated as a Really Big Deal and most of them -- definitely the ones who are normal human citizens who have superpowers -- do everything they can to avoid it.

[dethtoll]

Exactly. And Wondy is an outlier in that in cases of last resort (or when she's dealing with dangerous monsters) she's willing to kill. That sword ain't for lookin' pretty.

[quantumreality]

That I have not, re: comics. :)

[philstar22]

As much as I love that show, I always thought that was a stupid plot point. Aang had already killed a lot of people. The fact that he somehow saw a distinction between his bending directly killing Ozai and it indirectly killing people by destroying their ships and so on was kind of ridiculous. That being said, I loved the taking away Ozai's bending thing. But in my mind it was better because then Ozai could be held responsible for the things he did, not because Aang killing him in battle was wrong.

The problem is that when you really get right down to it, once you give a character a certain amount of power, it becomes nearly impossible to put them in a moral dilemma and take it seriously on human terms. So you have to make these strictures. It's sort of the same category as the Why Not Kill Hitler problem of time travel.

[(Anonymous)]

Because Hitler was hiding in the closet.

[kurenai_tenka]

Well he's a kid, he may well of made that distinction (or assume they could've swam to safety or something), that and he may see a difference between killing someone in the heat of the moment as they're attacking versus meticulously planning to do so.
