Just something I was musing about today. We’re all familiar with the scene where the villain captures the hero, then proceeds to spend a good half-hour or so gloating about his success so that by the time he gets around to actually killing his captive, the hero has gnawed through whatever’s tying her down and effected a quick escape.
I was wondering, do prospective murderers nowadays watch such shows and think that’s the proper way to act, so hold off killing hostages for a decent gloat session first? Something to think about.
