I too, tend to land more towards the "I like my heroes to be heroic" trope and generally have contempt for the edgelord BS of deconstructions, but at the same time, if the hero actually killed the villain and they really showed the consequences--show them being shaken and haunted by what they've done, maybe they start to pull their punches in a fight and hesitate because they fear doing it again, etc.--that would be really interesting.

And by consequences, I mean lasting beyond a scene or two. So the part where Superman cries out in anguish after killing Zod in Man of Steel does not count, given that he's more or less back to normal afterwards. This is especially galling because with Superman, the theme of power, how it should and shouldn't be used, what constitutes as acceptable or going too far, has long been an interesting plot thread with the character.
