to:
The point is, the trope is not \\\"this possible action would definitely have worked, and is easy to do\\\". The trope is \\\"why didn\\\'t anyone try to do this, or try it enough times to troubleshoot, or in combination with other things to help?\\\"[[note]]That is basically in the definition.[[/note]]. The headphones point is the most egregious because it actually WAS used at some point, which only makes you wonder why that was the first and only time. The very name is an example of this: would killing Gilligan actually solve more problems than it created? Who knows? That isn\\\'t the point. And if you want further examples of what I mean, actually look at the examples.
Just to throw out an imperfect example of how taking measures would have (by no means perfect) been an improved measure, let\\\'s take the example of Luke Cage. He literally attempts to one-shot Kilgrave while he wasn\\\'t looking but didn\\\'t expect Kilgrave\\\'s dad to warn him. He comes within a second of killing Kilgrave before being commnded to stop.
Luke was so close to Kilgrave that he could have easily turned his head or closed his eyes to finish his attack. Being unable to hear Kilgrave would have helped IMMENSELY in that situation, although, yes, there would still be risks as well as ways for it to fail.
But, that\\\'s just a shot in the dark, off the top of my head. I\\\'m not going to try to convince you, because as I said, that isn\\\'t how an honest debate works.

I just skimmed that Wall of Text. You\'re putting way too much impetus on ME proving something to YOU. That\'s not how you discuss something in good faith.
