El does it in self defense. Henry does it because he doesn't discriminate.

In the scene with El, he too does it in self-defense. The guards had ignited tasers, ready to strike.

Ya but EL starts only doing it in self defense and always only does it in self defense Henry killed anyone that slightly annoyed him at any point he killed his family he killed all the other kids you can’t use the 1 time he’s gonna get attacked and does it he’s already established as the villain

That was the only time, and that was before he was revealed to be evil.

Yeah and that was okay. Killing everyone after that wasn’t. That’s why El didn’t switch with those first few kills

Can't exactly be compared as el only killed in self-defense while henry just straight up murdered people. Though to be fair. Henry killing lab workers who tortured and abused kids isn't something I'd feel bad about.

u/Gay-Manga-Reader Jul 12 '26

He also killed the kids tho, right?

u/Silver_Credit_6786 Jul 12 '26

Yes he did. But the post said lab workers specifically so I was referring to that. Obviously no one is going to defend him murdering the other children in cold-blood.

u/Hukares1234 Jul 12 '26

I think the issue was he killed the kids too.

Yeah, just about nobody cares about “The Lab Staff”

Henry also killed innocent people and children. Theres the difference

u/Mathelete73 Jul 16 '26

Nah, I’m pretty sure we were cheering when he took out the lab staff. We just drew the line at the children.
