Jenn Lyons: This is why I cheered at Amos's "I am that man" speech in The Expanse, because it's basically exactly this.

this is one of my least favorite tropes and it is especially ridiculous when the heroes have just shot their way through an army of mooks to get to the villain oh, you can kill 475 henchmen but the guy who is actually responsible for ordering them around is a step too far? do you hear yourself?

the whole ‘actually, killing the villain makes us just as bad as him’ trope had done incomprehensible damage to society and i’m not kidding

I think about this every time I get to the “we’re not so different you and I” villain speech in a movie.

just once I want the answer to be "that's right, buddy, we're not" *blam*

This is why I cheered at Amos's "I am that man" speech in The Expanse, because it's basically exactly this.

I’m like a 0.2 on the Kinsey scale but Amos could fix me
