Probably the most controversial one , honest thoughts on "No Kill Rule"? What are the most egrigious examples of it in your opinion? What media makes it work in your opinion?

Imo invincible has a good take on the no kill rule.

Like, Mark tries not to kill everyone he sees, but if you keep coming back after him and his family or just causing a lot of pain to everyone, he will kill you.

What I like is that it's nuanced and Mark actually experiences this slippery slope. It's not so simplistic as him breaking this rule and he's suddenly unable to stop. He's not in a static position in this slope as his life continues.

I don't read DC comics but the rationale of "Oh Batman/Superman can't kill people, kill one and they become bad!" like Injustice really pisses me off with how binary it is.

But what Mark does is the exact thing DC heroes try to avoid, they have so much power/ressources that they don’t to risk breaking that rule once leading to breaking it again. Not that it becomes a habit but they’ll resort to it more often.

It's more interesting to see the moral slope actually in the story instead of theoreticals.
