Headscratchers / Drive Angry

• Why did Jonah King die in such a spectacular way after being shot with the Godkiller? Earlier Piper shoots one of his mooks with the gun, and he is just knocked back and falls down dead. At first I thought that was because King really had managed to somehow make himself nigh unkillable as he claimed, and the over the top death was due to that effect unraveling. However, the main page says that according to Word of God King was just a madman who had nothing supernatural going for him.
  • Actually it knocks the mook back into a mobile home through the wall and causes the mobile home to explode, so it's possible we didn't get the full special effects of the shot because it was hidden by the mobile home explosion.
  • Wouldn't this move piss off the higher powers that be? Erasing Jonah from existence isn't the devil's call to make, and there are far worse people than him in Hell anyway. Unless of course, the purpose of the Godkiller was to be used against all sinners in Hell, which raises obvious implications.
  • The Godkiller was possibly Satans personal weapon, maybe he does use it when a sinner far too vile for the regular punishments to use or work on (being how remorseless Jonah was, would he even have any loved ones to watch suffer on Earth?)
• If Satan is rebelling against God in Hell, why on Earth would he or the Accountant(s) care if one or two souls escape it? Wouldn't they sit back and let God fix his own creation's mess?
  • This version is noted to not be the Big Bad religion makes him out to be, simply the warden for Hell, being that Satan sends out agents to collect escaped souls, it's possible this version is regretful of the rebellion and is doing his appointed job to make up for it.
• If the Accountant makes it clear every sinner needs to be accountable for their sins, then isn't the Godkiller is the ultimate Karma Houdini? Jonah maybe Deader than Dead yes, but unlike everyone else he escapes Hell, and there's nothing God, Satan, or Milton can do about it.
  • being that Jonah was a remorseless psychopath, being erased from existence is probably a worse fate than Hell, rather than having to watch the people you love suffer (which in his case was most likely no-one.)
