Make sure they're dead

"Things wrong with pop fiction" part III.

Can we please get a warrior type hero who will friggin' MAKE SURE THE SUPER-VIOLENT ENEMY IS ACTUALLY DEAD BEFORE TURNING AWAY?
I mean, come on, how basic does it get.

Yeah, like the Jedi knights won't kill an unarmed man.

And why does the evil villain tie the girl up on the train tracks? Is it so the good guy can't foil his plans, or does he really want to give her a chance.

Why do villains put self destruct buttons on their doomsday machines?

Plot Device!

Family Guy's Blue Harvest addresses this - there's a very funny part about that one weakness of the Death Star.
