Killing off the character people already dislike and have less emotional investment in is the very definition of a "pointless death", like it becomes obvious in hindsight it's a way to have your cake and eat it too -- it's dramatic because someone died but no one feels bad

This was literally the formula for how he dealt with the nerd trio Warren, the actually evil one, had to be killed in order to stop him Jonathan, the actually redeemable one, had to be killed in order to seal in his redemption

Andrew, the meh one that nobody actually liked, was the one who got the surprise long-term redemption arc and became a long-term character Because that's actually surprising and interesting, and a chance to gain information we didn't have before -- to discover new hidden depths

Of course you have to actually stick the landing on that and genuinely make Andrew an interesting character if you're going to sacrifice Jonathan for his sake YMMV on whether it worked We'll see if the new Hawkeye TV show is any good

You pay the right to use the Gauntlet by sacrificing someone to the Soul Stone, using the Gauntlet to negate that cost makes the whole thing moot

Yeah, I mean, I GUESS. But it's the kind of thing where they set up so many powers and such vague rules, there's a kind of constant need to search for loopholes.

Replying to @mssilverstein @arthur_affect and
Time travel and wish-granting powers are probably both narrative poison, and should be avoided if at all possible.
