Big Damn Heroes/Fan Works: Difference between revisions

* [[Downfall (Fanficfanfic)|Ichigo sure thinks he's one when he arrives moments before Orihime's kidnapping is completed]] . Then {{spoiler|Nell}} shuts him down, hard. Makes sense, she ''is'' the Primera, after all.

* [[Thousand Shinji (Fanfic)|"I]] ''[[Thousand Shinji (Fanfic)|hate]]'' [[Thousand Shinji (Fanfic)|playing the Big Damn Hero."]] (Emphasis and Capitalisation Academia Nut's)

* ''[[Forward (Fanfic)|Forward]]'' uses this extensively, but being a ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' fanfic, that's no surprise, and its lampshaded and subverted as often as it is played straight.

* ''[[Tiberium Wars (Fanfic)|Tiberium Wars]]'' has an ''epic'' moment when the [[Semper Fi|GDI Marines]] appear at the Langley AFB battle.

* ''[[Renegade (Fanficfanfic)|Renegade]]'': Kaidan Alenko {{spoiler|takes down Zaeed Massani in a mini mecha singlehandedly after the latter attempts to double cross Shepherd.}}

* [[Two Weeks Notice (Fanficfanfic)|Raccoon City Mosh Pit]] invokes this trope for a [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. {{spoiler|Matt, who has not been seen for the whole story up until now}} appears out of nowhere to {{spoiler|save Kate from Nemesis}} at the Clock Tower. The best part? They even say the dialogue, with {{spoiler|Matt}} as Mal and Kate as Zoe. Plus [[Lampshade Hanging|the chapter is titled 'Written by Joss Whedon'.]]

* In ''[[The Sun Soul (Fanfic)|The Sun Soul]]'', there are more than a few moments when the heroes swoop in to save the day at the last possible second. Although the author seems to like making [[Hero Withwith Bad Publicity|them]] [[Was It Really Worth It?|pay]] for their [[Chronic Hero Syndrome|constant heroics.]]

* The beginning of the "Big Damn Heroes" moment in chapter 20 of Warhammer40000 fanfic [[Toy Hammer (Fanfic)|Toy HammerToyHammer]] starts off with the main character running over a Daemonhost (an [[Eldritch Abomination]] that has been summoned from a [[Negative Space Wedgie]] to [[Demonic Possession|possess]] an already unlikeable [[Complete Monster]]) with a battered pickup truck. Then offloading the elite of the Warhammer40000 universe's armies (who have been miniaturized).

* With a name like ''[[Kyon Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'' you'd expect [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Kyon]] pulls this trope often. You'd be right: saving Tsuruya from a some [[Yakuza]] ''twice'', Kanae from an upperclassman a few days later or to Sasaki when she was being kidnapped he can certainly do the titular trope.

* ''[[Respawn of the Dead (Fanfic)|Respawn of the Dead]]'' gives us {{spoiler|Scout}} rushing in whacking the {{spoiler|traitorous RED Spy over the head with his bat}}, when the latter had the Engineer and Sniper at both gun and knifepoint, and had just before been suggesting that {{spoiler|he and the Engineer gang-rape Sniper}}.

* [[The Man Withwith No Name (Fanficfanfic)|The Man with No Name]] crosses over ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' and [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]. It would be weird if [[Big Damn Heroes]] ''didn't'' apply.

* In [[Dragon Age: theThe Crown of Thorns]], Sten gets one and {{spoiler|it overlaps with a [[Journey to Thethe Center of Thethe Mind]] and even [[Battle in Thethe Center of Thethe Mind]], since he is helped inside the mind of the resident [[Guile Hero]] / [[Magnificent Bastard]] dwarven prince Warden Commander, by a spell of the elven mage. Once inside, he helps him fight off a psychic attack on the Archdemon's part that would have lobotomized the Warden otherwise, if not killed him.}}

* In the ''[[Pony POV Series (Fanfic)|Pony POV Series]]'', {{spoiler|The [[Final Battle]] with Fluttershy's [[Super -Powered Evil Side]], Princess Gaia/Nightmare Whisper, is going badly. The group are battered, beaten, and bloody, Rarity's pretty much completely out of it with broken legs and no energy left to use magic, and the only way to stop Nightmare Whisper seems to be Rainbow Dash performing a [[Mercy Kill]]. Thankfully, Fluttercruel [[Like a Badass Out of Hell|fights her way out of]] the [[Jury of the Damned]] she was being tried by and manifests in the physical world. Not only does she give the others the motivation to summon the Elements, she fills in for Fluttershy as the Element Of Kindness, allowing them to defeat Nightmare Whisper with them.}}

* In ''[[Turnabout Storm (Fanfic)|Turnabout Storm]]'', ''[[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Ace Attorney]]''/''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' crossover, this gets pulled out by '' {{spoiler|Fluttershy}}, of all people'', who manages to save Phoenix just in time from {{spoiler|being attacked by timberwolves while he's lost in the forest}}.

* In ''[[Point of Succession (Fanfic)|Point of Succession]]'' when Beyond Birthday has the rookie Matt cornered in the basement of a creepy abandoned building and is about to start cutting him up-cue Light Yagami [[Just in Time|making his]] [[Gun Fu|guns-blazing]] [[Dynamic Entry]].

* Happens several times in ''[[Inner Demons (Fanfic)|Inner Demons]]'':
