Anonymous asked: Bullshit Tom. Soldiers kill, and don't need any committee to investigate whether they were in the right when the bullets fly. They don't stop and think about "apprehending" the soldiers on the opposite side. It's kill or be killed. Cops will shoot when necessary and if it means killing in the line of protecting the innocent, then that's what it means. Spider-Man has the opportunity to do what is needed to protect society from Carnage (for example) and he doesn't. Bloods on his hands.

Bullshit, anonymous. Soldiers kill enemy combatants, but should they kill indiscriminately they are held accountable for their actions. And yes, Cops will shoot when necessary, as they should, but they too are following very specific rules of engagement, and every shoot is investigated to see that it was a proper discharge of a weapon. Shooting in either case is not the first option.
Well I’ll be darned.
Mr. Breevort said something awesome, accurate and intelligent that undermines the BS many people spout.
For all the crap I give him I gotta give it to him this time.
Yeah…Spider-Man isn’t in the wrong to not kill Carnage or anyone if he’s in a position to do so. THAT…is not his responsibility. Same for Batman and Superman for the record.

Also, the kill or be killed analogy is idiotic because Spider-Man has proved countless times that actually he can stop bad guys without killing them. Therefore the ‘kill or be killed’ logic is stupid because Spidey LITERALLY avoids being killed and STILL stops his adversaries. Some of whom reform and find redemption. Oh and it’s also not like whenever a bad guy has died it’s ever had any further negative consequences *coughHarryOsbornbecomingtheGreenGoblin*.

All this plus…villains come back to life like clockwork ANYWAY.
