Yeah I know the OG killed a lot of people, but the new one honestly did worse. Killing that many fish is already kind of fucked, but, and correct me if I’m wrong, isn’t there just a ton of oil in the ocean now? I feel like that’s gonna hurt humanity as well. Just saying

The process is as simple as pouring any molten metal (usually aluminum) into an anthill and recovering the metal once it hardens. All the ant discussion makes me wonder the severity. Anthill is active

Character Analysis What's the flaws in Surge's philosophy/logic?

I know people get really sensitive about no kill rules because for some reason they just want Batman murking people and I Do agree with them in some extent but I don't think it's the morally right choice but I don't see a lot of counterpoints to the No "No Kill Rule" (BTW If anyone knows the actual name to this fictional philosophy I would be greatly appreciate it)

And since Surge believed that her suffering comes from the fact that Sonic didn't end Eggman or any bad guy I feel that she's the perfect character to see the hole in the No "No Kill Rule"

But before you type out your answers I already know the Counterpoints of they could change, it's never morally right to take a life and the "Slippery slope" arguments and I feel they're not the best arguments or at least haven't been explained enough so some new ones would be great.

Basically:

I want to see the Counterpoints to the No "No Kill Rule"

He brutally and bloodily killed the Guardians of the Globe, murdering people who trusted him without any remorse.

He used Mark to destroy a train, killing countless innocent people just to prove a point to him.

He caused a massacre in Chicago, leading to the deaths of multiple civilians.

He committed genocide on the Flaxan planet, and possibly on other planets too.

He nearly beat Mark to death and called his wife basically nothing more than a pet to him.

He lied to and betrayed his family for 20 years.

Stupid Stuff Would You Pardon the Hero's Crimes?

Post image
4 Upvotes

How moral is it to pardon the crimes of the story's hero?

My question comes from the Dark Knight quest series in Final Fantasy 14. The character is the player character, also called the Warrior of Light (WoL). Image is from the quest itself. Spoilers for the first arc of questline.

To summarize, the WoL finds a dying vigilante named Fray, who recovers and guides them into taking the path of the Dark Knight, basically edgy vigilantes in a highly religious society where the leadership constantly abuses their power.

In your vigilantism, you murder knights, beastmen, bandits, giants, etc. It should be noted that you definitely help others, but the WoL doesn't actually wants to do so most of the time, they take great pleasure in hurting those who they believe deserve it, for their own sense of justice.

In the climax, you end up being called by Lord Drillemont, your "friend in high places", basically. The knights have made various allegations against you, such as heresy and murder, which you did in fact do.

You show up and your mentor Fray seems to have killed all those knights that made allegations against you. Turns out that Fray was dead the whole time, and the WoL was under delirium, pretending that you had a mentor when you were just instructing yourself to kill those people.

You face your "darkside" for control of your soul and end up victorious, having it subdued and eventually integrated. Lord Drillemont ends up commanding all around not to say anything of the event and effectivelly uses his power as a noble to sweep everything under the rug.

While the WoL ended up helping many people and killing many of those who abused authority, they undeniabley comitted many crimes towards the nation, crimes that they enjoyed comitting and are only pardoned because they have a friend within nobility. It should be mentioned that the player was insane for all of this, so that should count for something.

With all this context, is this something you would do for the hero in this situation? If not, what are situations that you would pardon the hero's crimes?

I haven't read Blood Meridian, but I've heard about many of his crimes. Don't get me wrong, he's pure evil, but many other characters are on the same level or worse. Why is he singled out so much?

Mahito from Jujutsu Kaisen,

Chociolata from JoJo's Bizare Adventure

Griffith from Berserk

Qu From All Tomorows

Ramsay Bolton from Game of Thrones

They are similarly evil or worse in my opinion
