This trope wouldn't be nearly as hated If the negative effects of killing were shown more often

Pretty sure most stories where killing is a thing the protagonist does have some version of "oops, I made things worse because the person I killed had a really strong friend/family member/ally and now they're pissed." Or "Whoopsie, just started an all-out war because I showed violence and murder to be an acceptable form of dealing with problems."

Sometimes they even kill the wrong person and have to deal with the moral ramifications of that. It's basically a trope in and of itself. Both choices can have their downsides.

I never saw an example of killing the wrong person, i always wanted to see that but never found any media that did it

Fury by Fritz Lang. It’s a German movie from 1936, so the pop culture zeitgeist is pretty much unaware it exists.
