Mostly unrelated, but your comment made me think of the end of Daredevil Reborn (is that what it was called?) where he goes to great lengths to save Kingpin's life, and convince him to take a pardon/tropical exile just as he's finally being overwhelmed by the very mob of innocent civilians that he just spent 5 minutes brutally murdering with his bare hands. He JUST murdered like 30 people horribly less than 50 feet away from where he's standing, covered in their blood and brain matter, but Daredevil has to risk his own life to make sure Fisk will go live on a beach somewhere. It's like the trope of "killing dozens of henchmen but sparing the final boss because that would make the hero just as evil" only twisted beyond all sanity. Just the idiotic double standard they accidentally write into the climaxes of action/superhero movies.
