I bet there'd be different dialogue if the matches could feel pain.

I actually like this depiction because while it does anthrophromize inanimate objects, it also doesn't at the same time. They're matches, even if they were conscious, there's no reason they would have the same philosophy and disposition as humans. From a human view this seems fucked up, but they're not humans, not even animals, and therefore likely have no need for a survival instinct or aversion to dying, and similarly would also have no need to feel physical pain since that's tied into the not dying thing, so they wouldn't mind at all. They would most likely see this as completely normal and even honourable, and might even consider us cowardly and pathetic for being so averse to dying by bursting into flames. Their worst fear might actually be the prospect that they'll be destroyed in some other, boring way, or worse, be forced to lay dormant forever, and therefore never get the chance to experience the glory of catching on fire. That might be what actually causes them pain and suffering which they are spared from by burning to death. In the same way that Klingons are depicted to hold dying in battle in higher regard than all other fates.
Basically matches are Klingons is what I'm saying.

Depictions of death as happy like this bother me because that's generally how I feel about suicide (I'm safe, don't worry, yada yada yada) and this still feels wrong somehow and those conflicting emotions fuck me up

Humans feel pain, but we don't feel the oxidation happening in us constantly. I'd say it's more about what you're built for rather than strictly a concept of pain.

Benjamin shouldn't have been so weak and naive. A pawn to the game.

"What is my purpose?"
"You help people get cancer by lighting their cigarettes, cigars, and pipes and occasionally arsonists burning down orphanages."
"Oh my God."
Do people still light their cigarettes with matches though? I can't remember the last time I've seen anyone even own matches outside of a survival kit lol
According to George Bluth matches are superior for lighting cigars (and probably pipes).
My grandpa used to keep cheap disposable matchbooks with him to light his pipe, the matches inside were basically paper, and I could never figure out how he lit them because every time I tried they would break or bend.
use a wooden match
I know a lot of people who use them to light their fireplaces, since you just kinda prop it in there and leave it, which is unwise to do with a lighter.
I used to use em for a bong because it seemed real cool at the time.
Some liquor stores will give you matches if you ask, for free. It's not terribly common, but it's helpful if you're a smoker and your lighter runs out.
I use them for lighting up lamps
Barbeque pitmasters in shambles
On the bright side he can get some relief in knowing he's taking them down with him.
