Ok, so in a lot of comic books and agents of shield etc. The worst thing us nit jyst sacrificing life , but especially children. Agent Mei has to kill an inhuman child to save everyone else and she is a hero, but it kind of destroys her.
So what am I gettubg at?
Well I was watching proud smiking wanderer and there is a scene where the sun moon cult (manachaeists) are killing this giys entire family. The guy is a hero trying to retire from Jianghu the martial world, gangsta life, whatever....
The point is, they are going to let one kid live if he will denounce his family. So the kid does. The hero the father then curses that child as being an animal, not having human qualities like honor etc.
And this is not the only example. Many times on British shows like Sharpe's rifles you will see children die and the characters value an idea or a flag over life.
But in modern American comics this is usually not the case.
Even though in practice we constantly sacrifice life for ideals, ammendments, rights, business money and other interests. Just thought it was interesting.
