You know, I like the final episodes of avatar the last airbender, but one of the main reasons I kind of felt bulshitted was because of the dues ex machina when fighting Ozai, in real life you won't get moments like that, it's either kill or be killed or at the very least lobotomize them, break an arm, cripple them or do something so they won't be able to hurt anyone ever again, and sadly that's the reality of it all, showing mercy on a criminal or a sociopath will not help you or society, sometimes you gotta be pragmatic and give up your morals. I mean I felt trigun did it way better because it's obvious there's no other way vash could've stopped him, if he didn't shoot him his friends would've died. And personally I have major problems with heroes who are willing to forgive someone for murdering a family member or raping you, ok not only is that not noble or smart, that is just straight up naivity, it's clear that the commuter doesn't care and he'll gladly do it over and over and over again. Even if he gets sent to jail, who's to say he won't break out? Yeah sometimes killing or lobotimizing them is the only answer.
