Determined Expression: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

This is a basic way to show a character's determination. In a dangerous situation, rather than head for safety or rush madly into the fray, some will approach the problem with a measure of deliberation. Their expression, if not [[Dissonant Serenity]], will be this: brow furrowed, eyes often narrowed, lips tight, body tense. The effect may be enhanced by a [[Kubrick Stare]]. The result is similar to a [[Death Glare]], but less extreme, and usually not directed at a specific individual.

* In ''[[Afro Samurai]]'', the young protagonist takes this expression very shortly after seeing his parents killed. This is the moment he is truly destined to become a badass.
