It doesn’t even have to be that the message is bad or completely objective and propaganda fuelled, it could just be its often incredibly recited, copied and pasted or just a blatantly obvious good lesson that you are completely aware of.

    Is it better when the hero decides at the last minute to spare the life of the villain so they “don’t become like them” or is it worse?

      If the hero also spares the life of the 100+ randoms, it’s better.

      But killing them and sparing the life of the super evil villain, is much much worse.

      At least in my opinion.

        I wouldn’t mind seeing a take on it, where the 100+ are at least arguably spared and the villain is actually killed at the end, completing the revenge. At least once.
