[jessica jones] [spoilers] [problematic fictional situations discussion]

Jean: Welp. Jessica snapped Kilgrave's neck.
Me: ... HAH
MARVEL DON'T HAVE NO NO-KILL POLICIES
Jean: Yeah, and the whole Marvel universe won't turn its back on her for that.
Me: yeaah

Jean: /side-eyes Wonder Woman killing Max Lord's aftermath
me: ... SIGH

As a whole, most heroes would back not killing...but they also understand that sometimes, it has to happen.

I think the one that gets side-eyed mostly is Phoenix...but the Phoenix Force DID commit genocide a few times.

Yeah. I mean, for most heroes killing is a last resort? But sometimes...

(we're not talking Wildstorm here. Because we're not.)

There's also no hero with a no gun policy, I don't think.

the thing is, in marvel comics at least, people don't stay dead

Even Cap will use a gun if necessary.

If there's anybody who needs to stay dead, though, it's Kilgrave.

Shard : Yeah. From what I've read in interviews, the only reason Jean got to come back after the Dark Phoenix was because someone found a way to make her not morally culpable for genocide.

which that in of itself got sorta retconned too? the Phoenix confuses me.

Yeah. I'm listening to Rachel and Miles X-Plain the X-Men, and it is insightful. (Basically it's like a book club for the history of the franchise, with two people willing to research all the retcons for you)

... I'll lie about Wildstorm current state because I don't follow MANY comics, too disappoint with most of the things that get done.
