[QUOTE="Dungeonman, post: 6293520, member: 6775975"] Watch it, then come back to me. Your first "mistake" was not actually watching the show. Your second mistake is that the character in question is a civilian turned agent with only basic training over a few days, similar to the lucky sidekick, and her heroic team member is the one who expressed his fear that they could die because he was taking on multiple opponents IIRC. And others with far superior training and experiencing were being killed or captured around them beforehand. Three of the protagonists are practically mooks in battle compared to many of the villians they had faced. If you think they didn't have exaggerated rates of survival for reasons of plot protection -- oh great, I just burned my toast. Moving on... The character thought there was a high chance she was going to die. Even if using black humour, she was still scared of the strong probability of death. In reality, those characters would not be killed, not in that episode anyway. That's the only point of that one anectode, or at least why I brought it up. Genre blindness to plot protection. If we want to extrapolate beyond that, it's probably more helpful to watch the episode first, as not to get detoured. Batman has no justification whatsoever in my eyes. If his ultimate purpose is to protect the citizens of Gotham, he is a failure. I won't repeat the previous ideas of better ways that he could allocate his wealth to protect Gotham. I'm aware of the justifications you write of, and there are just as genre blind. EDIT: See below [/QUOTE]
