Only one murderer in Avengers Arena

I've been thinking about this. It could all be virtual reality. The characters think everything happening is real, but it's not, meaning characters don't just die for the story, but get f***ed with.

the only reason i even bring it up is because Arcade, while certainly a sadist, seems to be more in it for the game. he rarely kills anyone with his murder worlds.

what makes you guys think that this isn't all virtual reality? isn't that the next logical step for Arcade's murder world? the heroes no longer respect his toys.

This is what i think too. In the end we are going to see them all still alive, in tubes, wires stuck all over them, and instead of dealing with death we are going to see these characters having to deal with that fact they were willing to turn into monsters in the name of self-preservation. If you think about it, it is a natural progression for characters like X-23 and the kids of the recent AA title, who straddled that line between good and evil...

right. it's their worst fears realized. plus, there's no way the kids could disappear like that and not find some way to contact the Avengers (or some other team). but if they were in some kind of VR set-up, then their escape options would be limited. Arcade's done something like this before (but using a telepath); against Wolverine and Gambit.

But, by the same token, are executions in the U.S. who "flip the switch" by injecting fatal poison into the arms of condemned men murderers too?

Did you actually just compare the wholesale slaughter of innocent masses to a lawful execution of a tried and convicted criminal? Seriously?

I dont' think this needed a new thread

but your title mislead me, asI thought the creators said only ONE character was gonna be killing people and that the teens had to figure out who was the culprit

No, you are still the murderer. Someone can demand, torture and threaten you as they wish, but the minute you pull that trigger it's on you.

Just ask the 'non-murderers' who flipped the switch on the nazi gass chambers.
