For the purposes of this debate, "Hollywood Morality" refers to a common set of ethical beliefs in Hollywood films and television. Hollywood Morality's three tenets are that:

1. "good guys" (people the media is portraying as morally praiseworthy) do not strike first unless imminently and explicitly threatened (e.g., Han Solo refusing to shoot Greedo first despite Greedo covertly pointing a gun at him in the newest edit of Star Wars: A New Hope);

2. good guys do not exact revenge (e.g., Peter Parker refusing to kill Green Goblin for killing Uncle Ben in Spider-Man); and

3. good guys do not use innocent people as means (e.g., Steve Rogers refusing to sacrifice hostages, even when it would be strategically useful, in Captain America: The Winter Soldier).
