Generally, when a TV character doesn't kill the bad guy because "I don't want to be just as bad as him." No, I think the guy murdering and cannibalizing homeless people is still worse than you.

I've been hearing that a lot, but I don't get it. The good guy usually only says that if the bad guy's already been rendered powerless, and the only reason for killing him would be revenge/satisfaction. And you're supposed to infer that doing it would be the first step on the path to becoming like the bad guy. I can't think of any characters who have said they won't kill a bad guy "so I won't be like you" when the alternative is letting the bad guy go to run off and do more bad stuff.

The last time I saw it was iZombie. Immediately after the MC refused to shoot the villain, the villain shot and killed the love interest.

In said villain's defense, it WAS ... self-defense. The love interest had JUST tried to kill him, so... understandable. *shrugs*

He DID deserve to die though and she should have done it. He was still killing homeless kids to sell their brains for food.

(I'm kinda glad she didn't now though because I'm enjoying his storyline :P )

That's really not the case. Occasionally it's when the bad guy's been rendered powerless and the hero's stepping back from murdering them for pure vengeance, sure. But the argument that killing the bad guy will make the good guys just like him frequently comes up when the bad guy's still at large, and the good guys are trying to figure out how to stop them.

Which yeah, okay, killing is bad, but you know what else is also bad? Letting the bad guy continue on his killing spree while you spend the next six episodes trying to figure out how to nonlethally contain him, because apparently 16 murders are better than 1 murder somehow.
