Line 20:
* In ''[[V for Vendetta]]'', V sneaks into a TV station and replaces the usual broadcast (the evening news and bad sitcoms) with a recording of him giving the British public, and the human race in general, a severe dressing-down.
** Lewis Prothero enjoys giving these to atheists, Muslims, homosexuals and immigrants on his evening television show.
* Another heroic example: [[Spider-Man]] vs. Fusion, who held Spidey responsible for the death of his son. Spidey delivers his speech ''while lying on the floor with a broken neck''.
{{quote|'''Spidey''': Keep talking... maybe it'll drown out the sound of your own guilt.
[Later] You're just a poor man's [[Master of Illusion|Mysterio]], and I just got you figured out. }}
** In the [[Ultimate Marvel|"Death of Spider-Man"]] saga, May gives a very brutal speech to [[Captain America (comics)]] (after [[Mama Bear|''slapping'']] him):
{{quote|'''May Parker''': He '''worshipped''' you people. You know that, don't you? He thought of you as--as the knights of the round table. He put on that costume to be like '''you.''' He wanted to earn a place at your table. And you people come into his life--He--you promised to train him? And what did you do? '''Nothing!!''' He was '''fine''' before he met you. He was doing '''fine.'''}}
* The ''Guardian Devil'' storyline in ''[[Daredevil]]''. Mysterio, after learning he's dying, launches a [[Xanatos Gambit]] to ruin Daredevil's life and goad him into killing Mysterio. Daredevil beats him down, and then verbally tears the plan and Mysterio to pieces.
