Taking your time to kill your enemy is not a sign of stupidity. Is it in any way strange that you try to enjoy a moment that you've been working for like, one to two hours? And there's nothing wrong with doing it in an imaginative way, since the chance that you get to kill your archenemy again is slight at best. A single gunshot? GAH!
As for the "fact" that it usually goes wrong that way, perhaps they just don't watch as many movies as you do. These people actually have jobs, remember.

The amount of prejudice and scorn in this thread is simply astonishing.
