Pyrrhic Villainy: Difference between revisions

Line 80:

* In ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', one of the ways to talk down [[The Dragon|Legate]] [[Authority Equals Asskicking|Lanius]] in the [[Final Battle]] is to convince him that even if he were to beat the NCR and conquer Hoover Dam, the Legion would inevitably fall via attrition (due to [[Rape, Pillage and Burn]] being a poor long-term way to sustain an army) or overextending themselves (much like the NCR themselves have done).

* At the end of ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]'', when it looks like Batman might not [[Save the Villain|save]] [[The Joker]] from his TITAN poisoning {{spoiler|the clown [[Back Stab|backstabs]] him to try and get the cure, causing it to drop and smash on the ground. Joker dies about a minute later.}} Extra irony-points because {{spoiler|Batman really would have saved him.}}

* ''[[Shantae|Shantae: Risky's Revenge]]'' ends with Risky victorious, having tricked Shantae into destroying Nega-Shantae, an entity that embodied her genie-half, leaving the heroine powerless. However, as the ''next'' game shows, the remains of Shantae's genie half have now brainwashed Risky's crew, causing them to overpower and oust her. And yes, [[Word of God]] claims this was the intended plot all along.
