Been saying it since 🔔Limbaugh🔔. The idea that we need to pretend it isn't a good thing when evil people die is some Disney channel bullshit

Disney used to like killing their villains. These days, they make entire movies dedicated to the villain...

Yeah god dammit Moana that fucking monster.

At least they killed Thanos twice and smoked Snoke like he was nothing

I'm still upset we didn't get anything about snokes back story. Why did he even exist if he was going to do nothing and then die

Boba Fett felt pretty unnecessary in the originals (literally any random bounty hunter could have been used) but at least he had one thing going for him: A cool suit. Snoke didn't even have a cool suit. SMH.

He existed purely to develop Kylo. He got fridged.

Also, what he did do was create the First Order and challenge the whole galaxy, as well as coming up with the idea for Starkiller Base. He did the most out of anyone in the sequels but it was all offscreen. They told, not showed.

It shows how little they actually put effort in character building....

How can you declare that Snot or Snort or whatever his name is the master of an important character and then boom he's dead...

It was so pointless...

Obi wan kenobi death was purposeful as you see he became stronger in death...

Stork... Or wait was it snork? Anyway that character didn't even need to be in the movie...

Snooker. His name was Snooker.

Damnit, you just made him important 😜

I was thinking earlier... maybe all the lessons in the saturday morning cartoons were really intended to keep the masses from fighting back. I mean, no, the good guys don't always win in the end. And cheating sure as hell does payoff. They want the masses to take the high road. While they tunnel through anything in thier way.

Yep, I sometimes really feel that that kind of people (you know what I mean) never progressed their morality past Disney cartoons that have it all dumbed down so that toddlers can grasp the concept of right and wrong.

The evil ones die in tons of Disney movies. That's where mostly the US of A got their brains washed and consequently celebrate a public execution without due process.

I think they're talking about Cruella, a movie where the "heroine" would eventually go on to want to kill and skin puppies. There's also Maleficent, but I don't know enough about that one to comment.

I also think there's a lot of Hollywood heroes that are really villains and the movie is just reflecting the author's fucked up world view. The Kingsman is a good example. Can we stop writing environmentalists as villains?

In a lot of stories, due process isn't something that comes up because of time constants and scope of the villain's ambitions, but there's something wrong in the writer's room for The Flash TV series. Agents of Shield would eventually deal with super nazis and alien invaders, but Flash was dealing with bank robbers and locking them up in their secret prison.
