Kind of related, the stories where the protagonist slaughters dozens of people just to get to the antagonist and then let them live because they had a change of heart.

Like bro, you just killed 50 people to get to this guy and now you're just gonna change your mind at the last minute?!? The proles can't even catch a break in hero stories.
