It’s especially rich when the protagonist has offed dozens of enemy red shirts across the first 75 minutes of the movie but when it comes to the main bad guy, suddenly there’s a moral quandary over whether or not killing for the greater good is justified.

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 43 points 5 months ago

This is just another instance of class morality.

That’s always how I saw it, even as a kid.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

That's why in my book, the protagonists real argument isn't whether or not killing is justified, it's who they should be killing

The answer ends up being the entire US government

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 8 points 5 months ago

Does nothing of the US elite isn’t eliminated entirely. But it’s a good starting point.

That comes in the sequel

Where they begin to form their own country and crash against the forces of the rich attempting to claw back their influence

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 did that. I'm pretty sure one of the henchmen got ripped in half at one point.

That movie immediately came to mind for me as well.

UnrelatedI cried so hard when they tortured the raccoon. 😭

Can't imagine why. side-eye-2

I liked the first 2 but.... now I think I will skip the 3rd one

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The third was actually my favorite. It was dumb that they let the bad guy live at the end, but that was my only real complaint. Rocket's arc was poignant in a terrific way.

hapless dupes get the wall whilst scheming viziers get comfy jail

Or when the no kill rule doesn't apply to intelligent aliens. Bonus if they are not humanoid
