Why was Goliath surprised when David killed him with a stone from his sling?
Did he have time to be surprised, then, Bill?
Reminds me of those tragic/operatic deaths where the hero(ine) gets plenty of time to say exactly how s/he's feeling at just having died. It's also very important in those Hollywood action films that the baddy gets a chance to fully realise the error of his/her ways before undergoing a suitably gruesome demise.
But of course it's often a battle of ideals and wills rather than a physical duel alone. And as an erstwhile avid Marvel Comics fan I have to admit to loving all that.
