Superheroes that are like “if we kill them we’re just as bad as they are uwu” ? Micro dick energy
The only exception is Aang, whose whole “I’m not gonna kill him if i can find another way” thing is less false moral equivalency and more “I’m twelve and I have been through way too much bullshit this year to add ‘commit my first murder’ to the list.”
Aang really did do the smart thing, too. He was a foreigner, and someone who had been propagandized as a grand enemy of the Fire Nation for years. If he had killed Ozai, Azula and other Fire Nation generals could have used Ozai’s death to further galvanize the Fire Nation against the rest of the world. Aang moved in with plenty of backup, with the White Lotus freeing Ba-Sing-Se, Sokka sabotaging the Fire Nation air ships, and Zuko moving in to defeat Azula and maintain a peaceful transition of power. Like, people can cry hippy dippy ‘oh he thinks he’s as bad as Ozai if he kills him’ all they want, but for an enemy as big as Ozai, you need to move carefully and make sure you’re not just kicking off a whole new cycle of violence.
