a sudden, inexplicable urge

[deird1]

I really want to see a movie villain who abhors killing people or putting them in physical pain.

Like – a villain, definitely. But restricted by his own moral code to outsmarting you, or misleading you, or tying you up in a dungeon and keeping you well fed, or framing you for a crime and getting you arrested...

Reminds me of The Flash when Captain Cold discovered his identity, and Flash says that since they're at an impasse, if he's so smart, figure out how to commit crimes without killing anyone. And it worked.

Also, sometimes death is much more merciful than keeping someone prisoner for a long time.

Interesting! I should track that down...

It's quite a fun show, at least for the first season or two. It just does the time travel changes everything thing far too often for me to bear any more.
