If you're talking about the skrulls posing as heroes the Avengers killed in the Savage Land, they weren't really innocent. They were skrull soldiers attempting to invade the earth. This was all a part of their plan to distract the Avengers and prevent them from stopping the Invasion.
If you don't wanna be killed, don't become an enemy spy attempting to invade someone else's planet.
if your going to use psychological and emotional warfare as a tactic you don't get to complain when u piss off your enemy combatants
They state in the tie in that they didn't know anything that was going on either. They did believe they were heroes and they were killed before they had the chance.
And honestly, why is it good to kill soldiers and bad to kill murderous psychos like Bullseye?
And it's depressing.all comics are gory now a days.
So should we kill all Afghanistan people on sight just because a few broke those rules?even if the skrulls were covered under the Geneva convention, the skrulls would of violated it a hundred times before that point.
The fact that they believed they were heroes didn't change the fact that they're still invading skrulls actively trying to assist in taking over the earth (whether they know it or not). And prior to Reed showing up the skrulls were basically threatening the Avengers. It's not like they formally surrendered or even called for a cease fire... it was still a combat situation. Had they formally surrendered I might feel differently but they didn't.
And I'm not really saying it's necessarily good to kill soldiers, or Bullseye for that matter... but it's not like they really had any practical means of imprisoning them either. Spidey webbing them up to a palm tree or something wouldn't cut it. It was a war scenario and the invasion was going on right now. Really, the only logical thing to do was kill them and rush back to New York. It's messy... but really it was their only practical option.
Again, what else could they practically have done?
That's really the problem here. If there's no better more practical option and they're in the middle of an invasion, then I don't think it's cruel. Or at least no less cruel than deciding to invade someone else's planet in the first place. It's not like the Avengers asked for this... all they can do is stop them any way they can.
There may be worse monsters lurking around, but in many of those cases there are other options besides killing them. They can ususally just beat them up and toss them into Rikers Island. This is a different situation.
