Yeah that's true. That's mostly the case in movies and in stories of myself. I just kill characters if I don't need them anymore and their character arc is over and it would be an fitting end for them. If they live on without having a purpose anymore, why would you let them alive in the first place? So because of that many of my villains die. But I also have a few that don't die but without a purpose, so they are alive even if I don't need them anymore. But that's because I maybe want bring them back someday or it's a worse fate than death for them (ecspecially if they are Nihilists and want to die or don't care if they do), or they are some sort of main enemy, anti-hero or on & off villains. Or if it's fitting for the story, for example when the main protagonist is against killing and wants to be better, so he didn't kill his enemies.

But for a few villains I don't know what to do. The gangsterboss for example. I don't know what he could play for a role in part 3 and if he should die or not. The uncle of the wolf lady and the child slaver, have a final fate, where I know what to do with them. The uncle is going to prison because he needs a punishment and don't deserve just redemption for what he did and the child slaver dies because he's a piece of s**t. In another story there is the same problem, but just because I wanted to continue the story for one sequel, but that doesn't really seems necessary. The main villain in the first part is a very heinous and cruel gangsterboss, who got "destroyed" by the protagonist because he was full of anger and revenge because he killed his girlfriend. So he gruesomely destroyed his face with glass shards and hit him multiple times so hard that he got heavy brain damage. But he didn't killed him because he is against killing and want him to suffer his whole life in prison and always be remembered what he did. But in the sequel he got out of an asylum because of another villain with he now works for. He also stutters now. He wants revenge on the protagonist but got again heavily ingured and got killed by his boss. But I don't know if that made perfect sense for the end of his character arc and would throw away the message of "he deserved worse than death" so he must kept alive to suffer his life long, and he would be in the end, like the other Pure Evil villains of mine, just dying at the end. What do you think?
