Fetal Position Rebirth: Difference between revisions

* The end of ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'', when Dave Bowman becomes the Star Child ([[Memetic Mutation|SPACE FETUS!]])... obviously.

* Alice in the first three ''[[Resident Evil (film)|Resident Evil]]'' movies. In the first one, it's where she's knocked out whem fumes come into the shower. In [[Resident Evil: Apocalypse|the second film]] she's being resurrected (or cloned, hard to tell) at the end. In [[Resident Evil: Extinction|the third one]], there's hundreds of clones of her, all in the fetal position in water bubble suspension things. Naturally, she's bare-ass naked in all of these, and while her hands do hide her bits, she always moves them by the time the scene is over.

* In ''The New Daughter'', Louisa, on the eve of her transformation into a [[Creepy Child]], is shown in this position in the bathtub, covered in mud from having spent the day digging around in the [[Indian Burial Ground|Indian Burial Mound]].

 

* The pilot of ''[[John Doe]]'', when the eponymous unnamed protagonist wakes up on Horseshoe Island.

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' has, at the end of "Daleks in Manhattan", the armor of Dalek Sec opens up to reveal the [[Half-Human Hybrid]] Sec, dressed in a pinstripe suit, in a fetal position. He then unfolds and gets shakily to his feet.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''

** Angel's own return from Hell in season 3.

* At the start of ''[[Princess Maker]] 2'', you get a heavenly child who is being sent to the world of mortals by her guardian deity. She is shown from a front fetal position as she is floating down in the light and to you, seemingly forgetting everything that happened in her ten years of life in Heaven. Since it's '''''not''' really'' [[H-game|that kind of game]], it's artistically done and you don't actually see anything.

* In the good ending of ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]'', {{spoiler|Tidus}} is shown waking up this way underwater.

* In ''[[Tales of Destiny]] 2'' ending, Reala is reborn like that.

* Happens in ''[[Silent Hill 4]]'' when {{spoiler|Henry enters the "deepest part" of Walter. Rather than symbolizing rebirth, though, it symbolizes regression to a fetal stage (which is what Walter wants)}}.
