Luke, I Am Your Father: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Aquarion Evol]]'': [[Nice Guy]] and [[The Hero]], Amata Sora, barely even knew his mother, believing her to have abandoned him at a young age due to his levitation powers. Then it turns out that {{spoiler|she never abandoned him and is with the [[Alien Invasion|Altairians]],}} but also that {{spoiler|his father is in fact the LEADER OF THE ALTAIRIANS!!!}} How's ''that'' for [[Beyond the Impossible]]?

* In ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jojo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' Part 2, it is revealed that {{spoiler|Ripple master Lisa Lisa is actually Joseph Joestar's mother.}}

* The third episode of ''[[Death Note]]'': {{spoiler|Light's father is the one leading the police effort to catch the mysterious murderer -- actually Light.}}

* In the Mazinger trilogy it was played straight, subverted and inverted:

 

== Films -- Animation ==

{{quote|'''Zurg:''' Surrender Buzz Lightyear! I have won!

'''Buzz:''' I'll never give in! [[You Killed My Father]]!

* The 2002 adaptation of ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo (film)|The Count of Monte Cristo]]'' has {{spoiler|Robert revealed as the son of Edmond, conceived right before Edmond is framed for treason and shipped off to prison 16 years earlier}}.

* ''[[The Man From Earth]]'': {{spoiler|In the end what confirms that John wasn't lying when he claims he doesn't age was Gruber (who appears much older than John) realizing John is his father. The shock ends up giving Gruber a heart attack and he dies shortly after.}}

* Near the end of ''[[Big Money Rustlas]]'', before dying of a gunshot wound inflicted onto him by Sugar Wolf, the film's villain, Big Baby Chips, reveals to Sugar Wolf that he is actually his father, Grizzly Wolf, prompting Sugar Wolf to rub off his face paint to see if he was telling the truth. {{spoiler|He was.}}

* [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] in ''[[Tron: Legacy]]'' when Sam Flynn finally finds his [[Disappeared Dad|lost father]] on [[Cyberspace|the Grid]], it turns out only to be a program written by Dad, though the dialog is almost verbatim.

*** In one scene, {{spoiler|Laharl claims to be Mao's father}}. It doesn't work, mostly because {{spoiler|Flonne and Etna can't decide who would be his mother}}.

*** And in Rasbperyl mode, [[Bishounen|Master Big Star]] and [[Those Wacky Nazis|Salvatore]] claim to be the [[Goldfish Poop Gang|Vato Brothers]]' parents, while two [[Butt Monkey|Prinnies]] claim to be the parents of [[The Big Guy|Gold Knuckle]]. All of this, needless to say, is both impossible and absolutely ridiculous.

* The ending of ''[[Stubbs the Zombie]]'' reveals that Stubbs and [[Big Bad]] Andrew Monday are {{spoiler|father and son respectively, with [[Hot Shonen Mom|Maggie Monday]] having slept with the then living Edward Stubbleton before he was gunned down by her father (this also explains why Stubbs instantaneously falls in love with her).}} Needless to say, Andrew is disgusted to learn this.

* At the end of ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' (the first), we learn that the man who killed Gorion is {{spoiler|Charname's brother}}.

** Even better; Fei's mother turns out to be {{spoiler|Miang, due to her being [[The Virus]]}}.

* Parodied in ''[[Ratchet and Clank]] Future: A Crack in Time''. After you beat the game, [[The Dragon|Lord Vorselon]] will show up and claim "Rachet, ''I'' was... your father's accountant!"

* In [[Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow|Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow]] we find out {{spoiler|Arikado is really Alucard, which means Alucard is protecting his fathers reincarnated soul.}}

* ''[[Double Switch]]'': {{spoiler|Lyle the Handyman is Eddie's father, and Elizabeth, the apartment manager, is Eddie's mother}}. All three of them know this, but the player and the other characters did not know about that.

::[[Serious Business|Dexter's dad was making a big deal over not being allowed to get Mom's]] [[Double Entendre|muffins.]] }}

* Parodied in ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'', quoted above.

* In ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' (and also in the comics) Nightcrawler is lured out to a construction site with a mysterious note that promises that "everything will be explained". A hooded figure comes out of the shadows (actually, since it is early evening, there aren't many shadows to speak of, so they obviously added this in for dramatic effect) and, after making Nightcrawler squirm in confusion and anticipation for about thirty seconds, throws her hood off to reveal Mystique, [[Big Bad|Magneto's]] [[Evil Chancellor]] of sorts and says, "Kurt, I'm your mother." For bonus points, she does it a second time with Rogue (who was adopted, but still), though since it was in the middle of Rogue having a mental breakdown from all her absorbed personalities fighting in her head, it wasn't nearly as dramatic.

** The original 90s cartoon also did this with Nightcrawler and Mystique, but with the added twist that [[Big Bad]] leader of the [[Path of Inspiration|Friends of Humanity]] Grayden Creed, Jr. (who was already exposed in an earlier episode as being Sabertooth's son) was Mystique's son and Nightcrawler's half-brother(Just like in the comics).

*** X-Men scribe [[Chris Claremont]] originally intended Mystique to be Nightcrawler's ''father''—she's apparently a ''really good'' shapeshifter—but [[Executive Meddling]] derailed those plans.

*** Thank ''God''.

'''Darth Vader-like:''' Don't worry, you get a new one. A really cool robot one!

...Well, it was said something to that effect, that's all I remember. }}

*** A brilliant continutynod to the quote starting the Fairy Odd Parents section here.
