SPN's Amy Pond Is Not a Serial Killer
Dec. 30th, 2016 07:53 amI saw a post on tumblr once comparing Supernatural's Amy Pond to a serial killer, complaining about fans who thought she should not have been killed for got that, because she was cute. The post accused the show of being manipulative.
In fact, it's the user of the term "serial killer" that is manipulative and dishonest. Per Wikipedia: "A serial killer is a person who murders three or more people, usually in service of abnormal psychological gratification, with the murders taking place over more than a month and including a significant break (a "cooling off period") between them." Amy didn't have a cooling off period, and she did not kill for psychological gratification. She killed for survival.
( If you have to kill to stay alive, don't kill because I'll kill you )
