I agree with Killua believing in destiny got Pyrrha killed so saying fuck you to Fate may actually save the others. What would be bad writing is introducing a team of characters based off figures who die for reason other than old age at the end of their stories, kill one in a way that is a clear nod to how that figure died and then just not do that to the others for no apparent reason. Them rejecting destiny doesn't cut it as an excuse to avoid that. As I said, in order to truly subvert this Pyrrha's death must be subverted in some way. Even if she stays dead and doesn't otherwise influence them actively, something about her death has to prevent them from suffering the same fate.
