Question: Why is not every terrorist sent after John in DieHard? Or the pirates wipe out Samus\' ship in {{Metroid})? Why not have The Master send every vampire and demon after [[Xbox/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy?]] You\'re not immediately fighting a horde of Cyberdemons in {{Doom}}? Or every Deadite tries to kill Ash in EvilDead? Wouldn\'t the terrorists win if they immediately set off a bomb or kill the hostages in SplinterCell? The Syndicate would win outright if they just killed the Saints in SaintsRow, or Pelleum killed Rubi in {{Wet}}, so why don\'t they? RuleOfDrama, that\'s why. These are AcceptableBreaksFromReality in that while it might be effective to just kill every PlayerCharacter off in CallOfDuty it wouldn\'t make much of a game. BondVillainStupidity is a set of rules that...oh who are they, Bond villains have a habit of doing. If Goldfinger had just left Bond in his DeathTrap then that would count. Not making sure someone is dead? No, otherwise we would have to count every horror and monster movie, we would have to count ThePunisher, all manner of works. As it is used this is a SquarePedRoundTrope.
