Welp. One point goes to Sentry while the other goes to The Void (will talk about it later). Meanwhile, rumors have begun to circulate that The Sentry will allegedly be nerfed in the upcoming MCU filmThunderbolts*!
Hundreds of comic book characters follow the “no-kill rule”. It’s a convoluted concept that is quite difficult to understand but roughly translates to “Don’t kill anyone”. Well, rumors state that The Sentry will follow the no-kill rule inThunderbolts*, and fans are confused.
The Sentry Will Follow The Rule That Zack Snyder Hates
There’s a certain happiness found when merging and comparing Marvel and the DCEU/DCU. In the DC Comics, Batman and Superman have a no-kill rule that they follow with their whole heart.
However, whenZack Snyderstepped up to the director’s chair, the rules of the game changed. In Henry Cavill’sMan of Steel,Snyder proved that he wasn’t one to shy away from breaking the rules when he had Superman snap General Zod’s neck during the finale of the movie.

In 2016, Snyder’sBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicealso received much criticism for showcasing multiple scenes where Batman is shown killing criminals. Quite contrary to Snyder, a report by notable insider@DanielRPKstated that the character of Sentry will follow the no-kill rule inThunderbolts*.

Some fans trolled the decision while others supported it. Having a no-kill rule certainly makes the character upright and honorable (looking at you, Homelander) but it also feels frustrating to watch a criminal go scot-free.

That’s why, there’s a twist in the tale. Inspired by Marvel Comics, there’s aFight Clublevel twist in the character of The Sentry and the no-kill rule might not apply to everyone.
There’s aFight ClubLevel Twist In The Tale!
For those of you who have seenFight Club,you know what we are talking about. For those of you who haven’t seen it yet: go watch it. Tyler Durden and The Narrator are the same person and that story is very relatable for The Sentry.
When Robert Reynolds injects a special serum, he gets the power of a thousand exploding suns. However, he also gets a split personality disorder with the other part called The Void. The Sentry is the good guy who wants to genuinely help people (like Superman).
The Void, on the other hand, is merciless, ruthless, and has a hatred for all sentient life (like Homelander). The tweet specifically mentions that The Sentry will follow the no-kill rule, but what about The Void?
The way people already acting like the sentry has been neutered when it’s obviously a distinction between him and the void… cmon. 😭https://t.co/7PziaYmLbg
Yes Bob obviously doesn’t want to kill anyone, but when the void takes over…
Easy: The Void
Because that is The Void’s job lmao
2 words… THE VOID
So even though The Sentry might not kill anyone, the same cannot be said about The Void. It’s as if Superman and Homelander were two personalities of the same person. It would be a plain nightmare.
