Fate Worse Than Death: Difference between revisions

 

 

* One of the few good lines from the ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' sequel is the Genie Jafar's response to being reminded of his inability to kill: "You'd be surprised what you can live through."

** The times it's used optimistically (following a [[Not Quite Dead|revival]], for example) just makes Jafar's use of it as a threat that much creepier.

** Even worse is to be tossed into the garbage, and, as [[Kelsey Grammer|Stinky Pete]] says, "spending eternity rotting in some landfill." Conscious the entire time, until finally all your plastic parts degrade into a puddle of goo...

** In ''[[Toy Story 3]]'', {{spoiler|the murderous Lotso, after leaving Andy's toys to die in the incinerator (they survive) winds up tied to the front of a garbage truck by a truck driver who had a Lotso-Hugging-Bear as a kid, with other, decayed toys strapped to the truck to show Lotso what's ultimately in store for him.}} Previous [[Big Bad]]s, Sid and Stinky Pete, received [[Humiliation Conga|crushing defeats]] but ultimately wound up better off - but this guy was so [[Complete Monster|extra evil]] that he was given this fate instead.

* Anakin Skywalker of ''[[Star Wars]]'' is, according to [[Word of God]], a man who made a [[Deal with the Devil]]... and lost. After the events of ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'', where he becomes Darth Vader, he is condemned to a life of constant emotional and physical pain, until the very end of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.

* Budd from ''[[Kill Bill]]'' decided that only a Fate Worse Than Death was a fitting punishment for the Bride after she broke his brother Bill's heart. So he shoots her with rock salt, ties her up, puts her in a coffin, and [[Buried Alive|buries her alive]]. {{spoiler|She still escapes}}.
