WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT TO KILL THE CHILDREN? What about a headcanon where the villain considers themself so self-righteous that they'd never go after the families of their enemies, and only targets the people they see as guilty/deserving to die. (singular, gender-nonspecific "they" being used)
I can see why they do it though - what does a person care about more than their children? Death is instant, death ends it. But having to ensure the death of a loved one? That never, ever goes away.
