None of these people would fight until their dying breaths.
This is easily one of my most hated tropes. As I'm sure you'll see as this book progresses, I hate the idea of nameless faceless guards that can be killed off indiscriminately. Coupled with that is the idea that every single individual fighter is always willing to go all in against the hero. Even after watching dozens of teammates dispatched effortlessly, every last henchman still seems to think they can take on the good guy. Suffice it to say, that drives me crazy. It happens in every action movie. A wonderful exception to this rule is in Iron Man 3 when Iron Man takes out a whole room of henchmen and the last one throws his hands in the air and says "Honestly, I hate working here, they are so weird." Hats off to that moment, we need more of that.
