I find that they too often exaggerate the wisdom of following the orders of the bad guy. Like, if they say “drop your weapon or I shoot the hostage” okay sure, maybe consider dropping your weapon, depending on circumstances. If it’s “give me the MacGuffin I need to release the neurotoxin and kill fifty million people or I shoot the hostage” maybe don’t do that.

Sure, okay, i will because i don’t get basic arithmetics…
I prefer a more deontological approach. Don’t do bad things, even if they threaten you.
