[[The Hero]] fights the [[Big Bad]] and gets badly [[Curb Stomp Battle|curbstomped]]. He is already down for the count and all hope seems lost when time slows for him and the hero comes to some very important realization. sometimesSometimes it takes [[Journey to Thethe Center of Thethe Mind]] for them do so). He then stands up and easily defeats his opponent.
