Just Toying with Them: Difference between revisions

** In the fight between Inigo Montoya and the Man in Black, the [[Trope Namer]] for [[I Am Not Left-Handed]], [[Master Swordsman|Inigo]] starts figting with his off-hand just because he can't find a decent challenge anywhere any more. It quickly turns out that this time he was wrong about having the superiority needed in the first place to apply this trope. {{spoiler|The Man in Black, however...}}

** The fight between the Man in Black and Fezzik starts out this way, with the Man in Black finding himself in a [[Punch-Punch-Punch Uh-Oh]] situation while Fezzik basically stands there impassively. This is quickly lampshaded:

'''Fezzik''': I just want you to feel you are doing well! It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise. }}

 

* ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'': In "Darkseid Descending", [[Darkseid]] agrees to Batman's challenge to a fistfight without using his "godlike powers" because he finds the idea interesting. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference in terms of power levels, because he's still got physical abilities on par with [[Superman]]. {{spoiler|Batman manages to keep him busy for a moment, in which time one of his allies pushes the "villain loses" button that sucks Darkseid and his army back away from Earth.}}

* From ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'': Azula to Sokka during the eclipse/invasion.

'''Azula:''' Oh, I know, I'm just wasting your time until the eclipse is over. And it looks like my Firebending is back! }}

* In [[Sequel Series]] ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' [[Big Bad]] Amon makes a show out of tying up [[Elemental Powers|bending]] members of a crime syndicate (and one of the heroes who got mixed up with them) and {{spoiler|permanently removing their powers}} in front of a huge crowd of [[Anti-Magical Faction|Equalist]] sympathizers. This trope comes into play when, as part of his show, Amon lets the crime boss loose and offers him the chance to fight to protect himself. It's all the more impressive when Amon wins. [[Curb Stomp Battle|Rather easily]], in fact.
