Say My Name: Difference between revisions

* [[Superman]] shouting Mongul's name after freeing himself of the Black Mercy in "[[For the Man Who Has Everything]]." The force of the shout knocks Robin clean off his feet, and lets Mongul know he's only got a fraction of a second before Superman plows into him.

{{quote| "He hears a [[Make Me Wanna Shout|voice like Armageddon shouting his name]], and he starts to turn - he knows he has perhaps [[Super Speed|less than half a second in which to defend himself]]... but the rock of the far wall seems to [[Dungeon Bypass|ripple outwards in a sudden cascade of powder]] and a [[Unstoppable Rage|four-hundred-mile-an-hour wind slams into him like a steam hammer as big as the world]] - [[Superman/Awesome|and he knows that he is far too late.]]"}}

** That was something of an [[Ironic Echo]]; a few pages earlier Doom had been fighting a Hulk robot that was screaming "DOOOOOM" as it pummeled him. As Doom turned the tables on the robot, he said "Once more...with feeling...'''say my name!'''"

* Invoked in [[Shazam|Captain Marvel]]'s origin story, when the ancient wizard commands Billy Batson to speak his name: '''[[By the Power of Grayskull|SHAZAM]]'''

* In the [[Batman]] storyline ''[[Knightfall]]'', Bane attempts to make Batman scream his name for mercy. Batman tells him "Go back to Hell" and Bane promptly breaks him. Years later, in the one-shot ''Batman: Bane'', Batman finally does shout Bane's name. It's not for mercy, though, it's in frustration - the villain escaped capture.

* [[Zero Hour|Hal. Ollie.]]

{{quote| '''Thugboy''': Which one, baby?!}}

* ''[[Bookhunter]]'': When a [[Phone Trace Race]] ends with his target eluding him, all Agent Bay can do is scream, "Damn you, [[In-Series Nickname|Kettle Stitch!]]"

* Two words: [[Young Frankenstein|Frau Blücher]].

** *whinny*

* ''[[Highlander II the Quickening]]'' gives us a glorious mid-quickening "RAAMMIRRREEEEEZ!!!" after Connor kills General Katana's two henchmen. Then we learn that the quickening has the never-seen-before-or-after power to bring people back to life by screaming their names. As you might be able guess by the fact that someone is named "General Katana", this movie is not very good.

* An effective twist appears in the film ''[[The Inkworld Trilogy|Inkheart]]''. The camera shows us Resa yelling Meggie's name as Meggie is being shoved away by guards, but since she is [[The Speechless|mute]] there is no sound.
