murder is despictable anyway you look at it, who are we to judge who deserves to live, and who deserves to die, we were all placed on this rock for a reason, and because our own mortality is short, we have no right to claim the life of another, despite their crimes, there are other forms of punishment, but murder and killing is absolotly inexcusable, and it's part of being a hero that shows restraint, and keeping balance of the law. If you ever noticed the Authority thinks they are above the law, and though many laws are questionable, the ones set in stone, keep society in check. So no, they shoudl never kill, unless it's some short hairy conuck that has been experimented on. And the fact that you think they should, really says alot about you AJ
well, if taken care of properly, they would never espace. I don't see Charles Manson, or Mr. Chapman roaming the streets, they'll never get parole, and never will. A true serial killer is mental as it is, and once caught, doesn't escape. Son of Sam. behind bars. So no, we don't justify murder. It's placing yoursef above other men, like your superior, when in reality we are all equals, despite the horrendous crimes they may commit. We don't live in Babylon where it's an eye for an eye.
In comics? I don't think superheroes should kill, but if they have to (ie if Speedball had killed Nitro before he'd blown up Stamford), then I don't think it should be held against them really.
Well let's face it, with all the villains in the world, you'd think cities would have been annihilated, there's a check and balance system in comics, and the act that the timely villains just can't die. No one will ever want to see Doom die, nor would they want to see the original F4 die, a true hero knows not to kill however, otherwise, you'd just be another Tony Stark
I read every post Aj, and I don't see any reason for a hero to kill any kind of villain, otherwise you'd be the sentry ipping carnage in half. It's more times that not, irrelevent, since death is a revolving door, especially in marvel.
Meh. I don't think all comic villains deserve to die, but I think that there are some who certainly should. I think, if this was a real world, where people like Joker, Magneto and Doom run amok, killing who they please, I doubt that many people would feel remorse after their deaths. Not neccessarily putting them on the electric chair, but if a hero kills them, not something to cry about... if we had as many Hitler-level villains as exist in comics... people would feel less sorry for one of them being put down.
When Wonder Woman killed Max Lord, when Ult. Xavier seemed to finally deal with Ult. Mags, if Rorschach, Doc Manhattan or Nite Owl had taken down [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Ozymandias before he executed his plan, I didn't and wouldn't place any blame on them.
That being said, I don't think Spidey should execute Rhino in their next fight.
