Why are American capeshit characters not allowed to kill villains?
Because capefags hate when anything changes the status quo and cape writers are uncreative fan fiction tier hacks.
>>80848607
They can kill all the villains they want, as long as no one will miss them.
>>80848607
You haven't read a lot of American comics, have you?
Villians are a non renowable resource
>>80848607
>>80848607
Mixture of comics code imposed censorship (which varies), keeping fan favorite villains alive for future stories, difference in Western and Eastern values regarding death, and outrightingrained tradtiiton by this poin.t Nobody cares if Kamen Rider blows up Spiderman, there'll be another one for him to kill next year. Plenty of characters in cape comics die, sometimes in outright cruel and callous ways, but unless you're the Punisher or some similarly edgy character an actual superhero protagonist in Marvel or DC only kills by inaction, incompetence or accident.
>>80848607
The same reason Japanese capeshit characters aren't allowed to kill villains.They are, and they do all the time.
>>80848607
Because of morals
But nerds got butthurt about that so either they kill important characters and resurrect them, kill off characters that haven't matter for years, or go full edge mode and create characters who only kill characters that have literally never mattered like in punisher's comics
Kenshiro is the hero Gotham needs
Kind of related but has it ever been explained why Batman stopped killing?
>>80849377
Maybe the edgy crap you read.
>>80849477
Not to my knowledge, in-universe even remakes of those earlier stories just avoid mentioning the whole gun thing. When he stopped killing outright in comics? Probably around the same time Robin was introduced and they thought he needed to lighten up.
>>80849569
>kills artificial lifeforms because LOL no pulse
>has killed on multiple occasions when there was no other way
Try again.
>>80849594
Believe it or not Batman was still killing around that time. Even Robin killed a few guys. Golden age comics didn't fuck around.
>>80849637
There's always another way. He says so right there.
>>80849287
but newer Kamen Riders don't kill people like Double and Fourze. Even Gaim show regrets when Kouta found out thatInvess are humans
>>80849658
Jesus, Dick's a cold little motherfucker. Post Comics Code then. They had ridiculous stuff back then like editing Plastic Man comics where the villain made of water was defeated when Woozi drank him to prevent children from becoming cannibals. Though from what I recall DC was under more pressure to prove Batman and and Robin were straight rather than stopping them from engaging in first degree murder.
>See, they both have Bat Girlfriends now! NOT GAY
>>80849688
Except when there isn't.

Masquerade Dopants die when you beat them up, Double's killed plenty of them. Drive killed tons of artificial lifeforms because they were a threat to the public. In Japan monsters kill people so to stop them you have to kill them. Holdover from old Samurai values, life is cheap and death is a common punishment.
>>80849903
but is it murder when they are already dead? They die like NEVER people. I always assumed they were NEVER (I might be wrong though).
>>80848607
Because they need them to show up later to write another story with them
And bringing them back from the dead is always considered lazy writing
>>80849697
Double killed the fuck out of some people, like the utopia dopant and eternal.
>>80850229
see >>80849960
They were both NEVER.
>>80848607
Kamen Rider's a bad example because all the villains they kill are technically monsters. You'd havea point if they regular kill their human villains, but outside of a few seinen oriented anime, the kills are mainly non humans, which isn't that different from American heroes.
>>80848607
Green Arrow kills people all the time.
Spider-man, too. Killed his girlfriend and his unborn baby. Made a deal with the devil, even.
Invincible kills tons of people (except his female rapists).
>>80849477
The shadow knows.
>>80849110
Punisher isn't really a cape.

>Spider-man, too. Killed his girlfriend and his unborn baby. Made a deal with the devil, even.
Linkara, get lost!

Batman stopped using guns and killing before the Code, it has more to do with developing him as a unique character rather than a Shadow knockoff.
>>80850385
Trench coat counts as a cape /a/fag
>>80849477
Out of comic, really just to differentiate him from the others. All the other mystery men of the day killed people left and right.
Look at this cover, for instance.
Then some nut said comics were a bad influence, and persuaded a bunch of others to believe him, so they softened Batman up and he managed to survive the comics code.
What's more, all the writing about it to explain his reasons have actually built him as a unique character, especially in this day and age.
>>80850307
In some series the monsters were humans to begin with, in double they are people using basically a superweapon that can be reversed, still double killed a good deal.
Also dark riders, those get fucking killed with no mercy;
>>80850354
>spider hater

>>80850594
True. Kamen Rider's whole theme is revolved around a hero who started off created to be a monster. And the monsters are humans who sold their souls for power.

Ryuube sonozaki, then

Just pointing out things he's done.

Because it sets a scary precedent. Capes, even governmentally sanctioned ones, still operate partially outside the law.
As far as I see it, part of the deal between capes and governments is that capes try not to break the major active laws (murder, robbery, etc) and in return the governments look away from their other necessary law breaking (mainly collateral damage).
