Reunion Revenge: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Karakurizoushi Ayatsuri Sakon]]'' had one of these involving a school's puppetry club.

* In ''[[Empowered]]'', most of the superheroes are outright jackasses who often pick on the D-listers. So it should come as no surprise that one of them finally snapped at a superhero get-together. There's also a [[Not So Different]] moment with the title character, who's one of the most pitiful, picked-on superheroes imaginable. {{spoiler|Who proceeds to save all of her jackass co-workers in a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].}}

 

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* The plot of The [[Diamond Brothers]] book ''I Know What You Did Last Wednesday'' is a group of old classmates being invited to a reunion on a remote island being murdered one by one. A parody in that {{spoiler|their only crime was coming first in school subjects where the killer came second}}.

 

* Lois had a class reunion on ''[[Lois and Clark]]'' in which a classmate who was picked on takes her revenge on the popular people.

* ''[[The Sean Cullen Show|The Sean Cullen Christmas Special]]'' had, throughout the evening, an old schoolmate trying to kill Sean for taking the last place in the orienteering club. But then it turned out that Sean had never joined the club, and the other guy had spent his whole life chasing the wrong man.

* Inverted in the ''[[Designing Women]]'' episode "They Shoot Fat Women, Don't They?", where Delta Burke's ex-beauty queen Suzanne Sugarbaker is mocked at her high school reunion for being fat. The episode is also a [[Very Special Episode]] touching on the topics of weight prejudice and world hunger.

 

 

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' [[Big Bad]] Vlad Masters throws a reunion to get back/murder his former best friend (who has no idea and still likes him, ironically) in order to win his best friend's wife. Thankfully, that oblivious man's son is... [[Danny Phantom]].

* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]''. Mike Sorayama, an old college classmate of Doc's, dies and has his designated pallbearers (Doc, Brock, Pete White and Baron Underbheit) kidnapped. They get locked in a dungeon and learn that Sorayama was [[Faking the Dead]] and wants revenge for petty slights, all related to his one-sided crush on an attractive roommate. Underbehit tricked him into smoking cloves, to which he was allergic, making him miss a study date; Pete, the campus DJ, played an embarrassing fake dedication; Brock beat the crap out of him (and everyone else) in a drunken rage after getting kicked off the football team. {{spoiler|In the end, it turns out that Sorayama really ''is'' dead, and the one carrying out the revenge was just another of his lifelike robots.}}

* ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'' has combined this with [[Something's Different About You Now]] (the other typical reunion plot): Johnny wants top take revenge on a girl who always made fun of him when they were kids but it turns out that she turned into a total babe. The rest of the episode is spent agonizing whether she likes him now or she's just playing a prank on him like she used to. {{spoiler|[[Failure Is the Only Option|It's a prank]].}}
