Re: This is why I prefer the MCU movies to the comics.

[nyxelestia]

Maybe, but like I said, my issues isn't even with making the villains dead so much as the heroes making a choice that this villain is uncontainable and irredeemable, and making a choice with the intent of saving more lives in the long run by getting rid of the problem now.

I get that these franchises often need to keep villains around, but doing so isn't really contingent (or at least shouldn't be contingent) on heroic idiot balls.

Make the villain escape when the heroes are about to kill them. Have them come back from the dead. Have the heroes decide to kill them, only for someone else to step in with a good reason not to other than moral implications (i.e. maybe the villain knows something they need, trade the villain as a hostage, etc.). Just...we can keep villains around and we can have (super)heroes be sensible and pragmatic, they're not mutually exclusive and I wish the comics wouldn't pretend they were. I really appreciate that they teach a value of not giving up on someone and giving people a chance to change - but I also think there's a line to how far that can realistically be taken.

One of the things I absolutely can't stand is villains coming back from the dead. It just makes everything seem utterly pointless.
Even with heroes... if it's somebody I love so it makes me happy because I want to see more of them, but it basically cheapens death. It means that nothing is final and you can't ever end anything, there's no stakes.
