I’m a superhero. You’re a supervillain and we’re engaged in battle. In the midst of this battle, you turn your attention to a nearby neighborhood, riddled with families watching our bout from a distance…and vaporize it.
Me: “You monster! How could you?! All of those innocent people! Why??”
Respond as the villain:

Kudos to Maurice on innocent.
Thanks, Jon Shallit. I like your dialogue. I got the subtext "I do what I want" and "who's gonna stop me?" from your line.

It's them or me - no one's innocent.

Good riddance. They mowed their lawns too often ... and they had bad breath!

I did them a favour. They won’t like what’s coming next.

Are they? Innoent, I mean. Who's to say you're not the bad guy? You allowed this to happen.

For you.

I have a better question.
Why didn't you stop me?

You call them innocent. I call them witnesses. And witnesses become believers. And believers… become followers. I didn’t kill a neighborhood. I erased a future that wasn’t meant to bow to you.

Challenge accepted. I’ll respond with the mindset of one of my sci-fi worlds.
“Innocent? You misunderstand, hero. They are offerings. The god I have awakened demands a worthy sacrifice for immortality — and I intend to live forever.”

I turn to you, offering a knowing smirk.
“I see you are not only self-righteous, but foolish and blind as well,” I state, pointing my finger at you in an authoritative manner. “Those ‘innocents’ you are so worked up over are an advance scouting party from an alternate dimension. They are — my mistake, were — here to provide a point of attack on our world. By neutralizing them, I did what you were never able to do.”
I fold my arms smugly, smirking at you. “I just saved the world. And if you stop me, you will be the villain.”
I offer you my hands, challenging you to put me into custody. “Go ahead, ‘hero’…do what’s right.”

I got a new one from another sci-fi world.
I didn’t respond — I just left with a monologue:
“I survived them. You’re the real villain.”
Thank you very much for asking — you’re actually guiding me toward new twists in my story.

You pass the buck, was your own pious vengeful justice, that turned a society into marked witnesses.
