Go, Ye Heroes, Go and Die: Difference between revisions

A hero -- orhero—or, well, anyone -- isanyone—is about to go risk their neck for something. A sidekick or other people begin "motivating" them, sometimes in song, by thanking them for the dangerous task they are about to undertake, which may cause their deaths, describing [[To the Pain]] what the hero might suffer and -- reallyand—really, it would be better if the hero hadn't heard this speech at all. Especially in comedy shows.

* In ''[[Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]]'', the dumb and callous Captain Hammer tries delivering a [[Rousing Speech]] in song form with "Everyone's A Hero", which ends up being filled with [[Stealth Insult|Stealth Insults]]s and comes off more as [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] directed at homeless people and muggles about how they'll never be as great as he is no matter what. Naturally, as a [[Villain with Good Publicity|revered]] [[Smug Super|superhero]], the audience chews it up save for Penny, though the fact that he openly boasts about sleeping with her in the song probably didn't do him any favors.
