In probably every adaption, when theres some fight and the good guys are chopping up the bad guys like they are about to make a stirfry, then all of a sudden they confront the bad guy and beats them then they always let them go, and regret it later... why why why ffs, seriously the neutral half good half evil characters in series are so much better cos they are actually shown to kill someone even though they beg and beg.
I'd like to see in wuxia series where the good guy puts his sword to the evil guys throat and even though the evil pisses his pants and begs the good guy still chops him like lamb chop with hot mustard. Cos usually in every series the only way some protagonist kills a bad guy is fast and furious, everytime they fight to a standstill, a few words is exchanged then the protagonist lets the homo go.
Then sometime later, in some strange place under some strange circumstance, under a strange moon in the protagonist cries, waahs and gets pissed off cos the guy he let go kills his girlfriend or something and therefore seeks revenge. Or the guy actually ends up dead... wtf.
Then of course they meet again and the bad guy gets stabbed and talks some more bullsh*t then dies - the end...
Are there actually good main characters that ruthlessly killed bad guys under a standstill?
Also why are tehre so much double standard crap in wulin... it sounds more like a place of over-the-top hypocrites. Good guys are so easly framed and get slapped around like a trout. e.g. Xiao Feng does all those good deeds etc for Han's and beggars clan, then comes along some silly accusation and suddenly hes public enemy number one wtf. Also its so unacceptable for adultery in ancient times etc, but if your a bad person no one gives a shit anyway, like Ms Ma or LXE... so its like if your evil you get much better rights and benefits. E.g. if XLN and YG wtf make such a big deal about it, when YD doesnt even give a flak about YG liking ZBT.
I bet if Lin Xian Er or suddenly says they want to repent etc everyone would so joyous and in celebrous mood oblivious to the fact that person has done like a hundred death-sentence worthy deeds? And some good guy doesnt thousands of very good deeds but because they get framed for some stupid thing, they are hated and hunted by everyone? lawlz
