There were those times when the hero used to kill off a dozen henchmen and then, at the end, just as he is about to kill the main villain, someone stops him saying 'Why go to jail?' :) As though it is a culpable offense only when you kill a main character :)C Sureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447144019185253116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740777121261184425.post-42495689652980538212016-04-02T23:10:09.590+05:302016-04-02T23:10:09.590+05:30I think the thought is that Guns are only for siss...I think the thought is that Guns are only for sissies :) or the act of committing a murder should ideally put the Hero behind bars for 14 years and then what will become of the poor heroineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740777121261184425.post-44053217901735590352016-04-02T18:32:09.487+05:302016-04-02T18:32:09.487+05:30ThanksThanksC Sureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447144019185253116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740777121261184425.post-32037285239624485572016-04-02T14:25:41.882+05:302016-04-02T14:25:41.882+05:30good postgood postAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00054567676984187000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740777121261184425.post-88967712701624317872016-03-31T20:41:05.855+05:302016-03-31T20:41:05.855+05:30Haha!

And the other thing where the villain is cornered and the hero opts to go one-on-one with him to show how macho he is, at the end of which the villain grabs a gun and causes someone to sacrifice his life to save the hero? :) C Sureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447144019185253116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740777121261184425.post-52592461261345183042016-03-31T18:12:38.902+05:302016-03-31T18:12:38.902+05:30I have lost count of times, I have gritted my teet...I have lost count of times, I have gritted my teeth in frustration when the hero apparently turns away either in resigned victory or in overconfidence, when the damned villain gets up again.

Typically the ones who survive these kind of foolhardy exercises will be the ones to live on to pass on the genes - so the physical strength to survive these macho encounters get passed on and honed along generations.
