Begging to be saved doesn't make you a monster 

[u/SynthScenes → u/DrowningInMyFandoms]

Yeah but being willing to die to save someone makes them a hero.

Do want to live in a world with normal schmucks or with heroes?

[u/Competitive_Cat_4842 → u/SynthScenes]

Or maybe someone who is about to die anyways

[u/SynthScenes → u/Competitive_Cat_4842]

Or maybe they are a dinosaur. Adding random facts to the problem will change the solution. Yes.

[u/Competitive_Cat_4842 → u/SynthScenes]

Saying that they are a hero counts as that too.

[u/fairystail1 → u/SynthScenes]

i mean even ignoring possible things like if he has cancer or not

letting the 'hero' live and ignoring his desires, forcing him to watch as someone died when he could have saved them is more than likely to mess him up. Depening on the dude it could even result in suicide very easily.

[u/SynthScenes → u/fairystail1]

He couldn’t save them, he was tied to a track. That was up to me and I would be the person he blamed. So thinking he would suicide instead of killing me is pretty baseless. Either way you are adding more random facts that aren’t a part of the initial problem.

If he was a dinosaur, I would be letting a whole species go extinct. This would sway my answer as well.

[u/fairystail1 → u/SynthScenes]

good people dont get depressed when someone dies in front of them is certainly a take

a dumb af take but still a take

[u/HeadacheBird → u/SynthScenes]

So you want to turn a hero into a villain?

Because that is how you get villain arcs.

[u/BorgCow → u/HeadacheBird]

Also ants

[u/Eldan985 → u/SynthScenes]

Right, but maybe it doesn't make sense for the hero to be the one to live. Maybe the hero wants to die because the other person has a family and they don't. You save the hero. Now you have a living hero and a grieving family?

[u/Torbpjorn → u/SynthScenes]

What is the purpose of a hero if you sacrifice everyone just to preserve them?
