Kill'Em All: Difference between revisions

''"The bad end unhappily, the good, unluckily."''

|'''The Player''', ''[[Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead]]''}}

The funny thing about this particular trope, however, is that knowing that ''everyone'' dies is somehow much less spoiler-ish than knowing that, say, only your favorite character does. The wonders of perception... as [[Josef Stalin|some guy]] once [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|allegedly]] said, "The death of one man is a tragedy; [[A Million Is a Statistic|the death of millions is a statistic]]."

* The ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' fanfic ''[[Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness]]'' has what can be described as a Kill'Em All ending, with some very nasty curses involved and some major [[Tear Jerker|TearJerkers]].

** The sequel, ''Sluagh'', is worse. Depending on how you look at it, ''none'' of Our Heroes are left standing after the Battle of Druim Cett, and if half of those creatures aren't out of the author's imagination, there's some funky stuff in water of those Irish springs.
