  I see it as similar to what Superman said to Joker<br><br>‘I don’t have a code. I just generally don’t kill people’

  At some point, I like to think Ben started seeing Vilgax and his other villains as a nuisance, while seeing what happened to Kevin as a personal responsibility to address, due to having been indirectly responsible for him going off the rails as a kid.

  I see Ben’s stance on killing similar to Wonder Woman’s. He is willing to spare and find other solutions to stopping his villains, but he will cross that line when it’s necessary or if there aren’t any other options.<br><br>EDIT: THANKS FOR ALL THE LIKES GUYS🎉😂❤

  The only thing Ben kills without hesitation is a heaping helping of chili fries.

  The crashout on Kevin makes so much more sense in the context of the history Ben had with Kevin. He was the first person Ben took a chance on and had it backfire, went on a crime spree to frame Ben, teamed up with Vilgax, spent years in the Null Void, as a teenager we meet back up with him as a black market arms dealer with shady connections and acquaintances and debts, and now Kevin is crazy again with more power than last time and beating the daylights out of anyone who has ever so much as looked at him funny. Mind you, this is right after we JUST dealt with another Osmosian pulling a Kevin and almost having his way with reality.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZpBe-t7XHo&amp;t=595">9:55</a> Ben tweaks with the Omnitrix a few seconds before he punches Malware in this scene. When Malware screams the watch&apos;s overloading him, Ben forces his arm in EVEN FURTHER until the watch is out of sight. He 100% wanted Malware to die here.

  Tbf I felt with the Kevin stuff it was more so him not wanting to make the same mistake he did with not finishing off Aggregor considering it almost cost them the entire universe and he felt Kevin was too far gone to be saved and that’s what made it tragic

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZpBe-t7XHo&amp;t=166">2:46</a> That cut to the UA Kevin scene is so funny. Also yeah Ben learning he can cure the DNAliens yet still fights them full-force each episode is the most wild thing about that arc.

  I always interpreted it as Ben does kill but only as the final resort, like if the threat is beyond high he will do what has 2 be done. But he won’t go into a fight trying to kill right away.

  Ben’s stance on killing is pretty cop like (which makes sense given he&apos;s a plumber) he’ll do his best to disable and quell a threat but if he really thinks he has to, he&apos;s willing to stand TEN times down.
