#not to mention a lot of purity culture weirdos loooove when villains are just one-dimensional evil dicks who have to be destroyed

unpopular opinion but actually i love when heroes refuse to kill their enemies and no one is gonna make me not love it
#personal crap#i think it makes writers have to be more creative about how they solve problems#plus it allows you to play with the morality of killing and what ways to fight are ok#(doctor who and su do that a lot obviously and imho it slaps idc what anyone else says)#and have stone cold badass moments of like emotional superiority (vash from trigun does that a fair bit#and my favourite recent example is how in gotg 3 rocket refuses to kill the high evolutionary bc he knows he's already won#and doesn't want to do to him what he did to lylla teefs and floor)#when heroes do just kill their enemies in cold blood it feels kinda boneheaded to me by comparison#not to mention a lot of purity culture weirdos loooove when villains are just one-dimensional evil dicks who have to be destroyed#bc that plays really nicely into their morality#oh and i just thought of another one: in rotj luke refusing to kill palpatine to take his place is so cool#especially in contrast to how in tros rey just kills him like it's nothing even though they spent the whole trilogy#building up the idea her allegiance to the light side of the force isn't as strong as most jedi#only to go 'nah if you kill palpatine everything's good'
