Why do superheroes that don't kill, often kill sentient robots?

he was gonna kill Brainiac in Morrison's JLA Earth 2 before he found out he was a living being

Hank Pym is a piece of shit. Goddamn.

He called out Jesus Foster, at least. Too bad he didn't develop a Asgardian-neutralizing gauntlet to backhand her with.

Vision is 100% correct. The meatbag supervillains get treated with kid gloves all the time. This is some bullshit.

Honestly? With how bad Hank has gotten lately, Jane wasn't exactly off base with that particular sentiment. The Avengers really should consider locking his ass up.

Robots are go-to jobbers for just about anything. America does not really love them in the first place, but more to the point, robots in general are a very convenient enemy- inorganic, typically unthinking and unfeeling, and easy enough to make "cool" without putting much thought into them such that they make for good enemies to blow up.

People frequently think of robots as artificial humans instead of imagining that the robot would actually enjoy obeying and doing what it was made and programmed for from the start. Would not machines that seek ""freedom""- shirking the purposes they were literally made for and, if programmed properly, would enjoy, just as organisms frequently enjoy breeding- simply be malfunctioning?

There's a third Thor?

>But we do not slaughter them!
He is half-right some Avengers don't kill.....without also enjoying it

My favorite thing about robot torture is how when a villain wipes out a team, the robot or part robot character almost always gets their arm ripped out or something equally brutal. After all, they can just get themselves a new one, which is something the other ones can't. Robot gore like that is a good way of showing how evil the villain is.

... Um, Kamala doesn't know about this incident, right?

Empowering.

This is the answer, they’re friendly for censors and tv/media age ratings. You can have a hero decapitate a robot in Y-7 show but never do the same to a human-like or living animal. There’s a level of detachment to it on the visual level. Therefore if you have a hero that is restrained against human or animal or otherwise “alive” enemies, you can allow them to go all out against robots without tripping any censors or catching a rating you don’t want

Genocide is a better word. Who destroyed entire culture.

Well, he's became one with Ultron in the book's finale. I don't believe that fusion has been reversed yet. .

Oh I know about Pymtron and his fucking dinner party. The only reason the team hasn't been able to get at him is because other shit keeps coming up that they have to prioritize.

At the end of the day, nobody gives a shit about robots killed unless they are shown to have actual thoughts and sentience and it has been made clear that they cannot be brought back to life, or at least, not as the same person it was. Effectively making them vulnerable as a human in a way.

If they retain the same thoughts, memories as the last time they were killed, nobody would give a shit

Even the thought of making backups of a robot's memory would suck out all tendion from anyone ever giving a shit about its well being, despite it bring a massive advantage for it.

Basically, unless your robot chatacter has shown to have some form of sentience and that it cannot be revived as it used to be before being destroyed, no one will care about the deaths of robots in fiction. Especially not anything made by Ultron since he's shown to retain everything that makes him Ultron.

This is why I'd rather the heroes do kill villains, or at least the ones who go too far. Because then they'd have more qualms over killing if let's say the person they're fighting is brainwashed, reluntanct, or is hijacked. Note that said heroes who kill villains only do this for the mass murderous ones.

Dcau Brainiac is a good example. Killing him isn't an issue compared to Luthor.

Like who?
