Shut UP, Hannibal: Difference between revisions

m
Line 68:
'''Kira:''' I'm ready for that. ''*lines up to shoot Durandal*'' I will fight! }}
** Domon Kasshu from ''[[G Gundam]]'' has a habit of doing this. Mostly because, as a [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Determinator]], he has no interest in talking to his enemies when he can fight. The final villain didn't get further than a single line into his rant before Domon just said "Shut it."
** In ''[[Gundam Wing]]'', Heero does this to both the [[Big Bad]] of the TV series ({{spoiler|Zechs Merquise}}) and [[The Dragon]] in ''[[The Movie|Endless Waltz]]'' ({{spoiler|Chang Wu Fei}}). In both cases, his opponent is arguing that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] and/or [[Dying Like Animals|Sheep]] who need to be guided down the right path, while Heero argues that all humans, including himself and his opponent, are just as weak, and that they need to have faith that people will be able to make a worthy future on their own. In particular, he gets a suitably epic line in ''EW'':
{{quote|''"Even if the world goes mad, I can fight on by believing in myself!"''}}
** [[After War Gundam X|Garrod Ran]] absolutely excels at this trope, in fact this is his most common response to a [[Motive Rant]].
Line 168:
{{quote|'''Ichigo''': Screw you. I'm tried of you idiots trying to shake my resolve like this.}}
* In ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'', Kurogane earns a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] by telling Fei Wang Reed to "shut your freaking trap." He and Fai then happily argue over who gets first dibs to fight him. Sadly subverted in that {{spoiler|It wasn't FWR after all, but Dr. Kyle, and it's R!Syaoran who kills him.}} Then reinvoked in Chapter 230 when it ''looks'' like {{spoiler|Fei Wang Reed died from both Fai's and Kurogane's repeated attacks. Then again, this being [[Mind Screw|TRC]], it might not be that easy after all..}}.
* In ''[[Digimon]]'' Season 3, {{spoiler|the D-Reaper }} has built itself up into an [[Eldritch Abomination]] hell-bent on wiping out humanity on the grounds that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]. It has been swatting down every attempt to stop or even harm it with minimal effort, [[Mind Rape|mind-raping]] {{spoiler|Juri}} for some time, and, in an incredible [[Tear Jerker]], has struck down {{spoiler|Beelzemon}} after he went all-out in an attempt to [[The Atoner|rescue her]]. Takato and Guilmon, fused into Gallantmon, are one of the last lines of defense keeping the thing contained and holding it off from annihilating humanity while the other heroes try a last-ditch plan to stop it. {{spoiler|The D-Reaper}} howls at them '''"YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO EXIST!"'''. Stuck in the void, Guilmon asks his partner whether they do or not, to which Takato replies that they do "AND IT'S ABOUT TIME WE PROVED IT!" after which Gallantmon responds to the [[Break Them by Talking]] by ''ramming his fist into an area roughly equivalent to {{spoiler|the D-reaper's}} throat'' and yelling back ''"WE DO DESERVE TO EXIST! YOU DON'T."''
* In the earlier parts of the first ''[[Captain Tsubasa]]'' series, then-[[Jerkass]] Hyuuga harshly bitches Tsubasa out and tells him that he's a [[Spoiled Brat]] who's got no business into soccer. What is Tsubasa's reply?
{{quote|'''Tsubasa''': You're wrong, Hyuuga-kun! Because [[This Is Sparta|soccer is MY DREAM!]]}}
Line 336:
** Also in the scene where when asked to "lay down your weapons" King Leonidas responds with "Come and get them!" which is allegedly what he laconically said in the historical battle.
** A more eloquent one is given during the Parley between Leonidas and Xerxes; Xerxes threatens to destroy Sparta entirely, and erase its history, saying "The world will never know you existed at all!". Leonidas calmly replies "The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, that even a God-King can bleed".
* The ending to ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' where {{spoiler|the people trapped on two ferries refuse to play along with Prisoner's Dilemma, deciding to ''not'' to blow the other ferry up, even with the threat of the Joker blowing them both up at midnight, their decision proving the Joker's [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] viewpoint wrong. Even cooler is that one of the ferries has convicted criminals on it, and it's a stereotypical [[Scary Black Man]] who just says no.}}
{{quote|'''The Joker:''' {{spoiler|We really should stop this fighting. Otherwise, we'll miss the fireworks!}}
'''Batman:''' {{spoiler|There won't be any fireworks!}}
Line 520:
* In "[[Felidae]]" by Akif Pirincci, Francis delivers this to Pascal/Claudandus shortly before their final battle.
{{quote|Francis: 'Everyone wants to rule the world', I said, filled with sorrow. 'Really, absolutely everyone. That's what it's all about, isn't it? That's what it's always about in the end. And every species believes that it's number one. Every individual is firmly convinced that he or she alone has the right to ascend to the throne and issue orders to get rid of others. And in reality everyone is fooling themselves, because up there on the throne it's lonely and cold. We don't have anyting more to say to one another, my friend. I understand the reasons why you unleashed this nightmare, and I don't want to conceal from you either that I harbour certain feelings of sympathy for your remorselessly cruel plans. But not at this price, no, not at this terrible price! I will fight you and do everything in my power to destroy your life's work. This I swear as sure as I am standing here. And I'm going to begin by deleting this unspeakable program. I'm sorry...'}}
* In ''[[War of the Dreaming]]'' by [[John C. Wright]], the heroes deliver a magnificent rebuttal against a [[Physical God]] insisting that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: {{spoiler|Azrael ''revokes'' his power, and tells him to sit down and shut up.}}
* In one of the most surprising examples of this trope, ''Aibileen'', of all people, interrupts Miss Hilly's attempts to threaten her at the end of [[The Help]] and then proceeds to ''blackmail'' her:
{{quote|'''Miss Hilly:''' {{spoiler|I won't tolerate liars.}}
Line 644:
* Done very bluntly in "Private Plane" from ''[[Blackadder|Blackadder Goes Forth]]'' - on being caught by Baron von Richthoven, Captain Flashheart appears to listen to the Baron's gloating speech for about a minute before suddenly shooting him dead mid-sentence with the observation "What a poof!"
** Possibly to the point of being a subversion, since the Baron's speech is more along the lines of "Wow, I finally get to meet the great Lord Flashheart! As men of honour, we'll surely have so much in common and will have a glorious and dignified duel with each other!" than a [[Break Them by Talking]], thus making the Lord look like a bit of a dishonourable prick.
* [[Supernatural (TV series)|Dean Winchester]] isn't about to fall for "that sympathy-for-the-devil crap," not even when the ''actual'' Devil tries it on him. But then, Dean is a simple man and figures that if someone {{spoiler|unleashes a supernatural plague that turns people into monsters and thereby causes the complete collapse of civilisation as we know it,}} then no matter how much he tries to argue that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] and that God was unfair to him, he's still what is commonly known as "the bad guy."
** Jessie, the {{spoiler|anti-anti-christ}} tells the Demon who is possessing his mom to sit down and shut up, who was in the process of telling him that everyone he ever knew lied to him. This is after Sam tried telling the truth. After Sam tells him the truth, Jessie banishes the demon from his mother. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for the little guy too.
* ''[[The Mentalist]]'': Watching Patrick Jane in action has made his colleagues less awed by others doing a [[Sherlock Scan]].
Line 763:
'''Kamille:''' Scirocco! We're not letting despicable people like you, who laugh at others from their comfy seats, get away scot-free!
''(the heroes proceed to pummel the living heck out of Scirocco and the Titans)'' }}
** And in ''Alpha 3'', during the re-enactment of ''[[Gundam Seed]]'''s last battle, [[Omnicidal Maniac|Rau Le Crueset]] proceeds to give the Alpha Numbers the same [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] that destabilized Kira in the canon series, telling them that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] and that all their efforts are doomed to failure. In response, the heroes basically tell him that he's full of crap.
** In ''Advance'', a similar exchange occurs between the Londo Bell and [[Evil Chancellor]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Haman Kahn]] during her attempted [[Colony Drop|Axis drop]]. At the heroes' protests, Haman says that she's only [[I Did What I Had to Do|doing what is best]] [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|for mankind's future]]. Banjou Haran, the protagonist of ''Daitarn 3'', retorts that ''she'', and only ''she'', decided it, and that nothing gives her the right to commit genocide for her supposed higher ideals.
** ''Alpha'' and ''OG'' timelines have probably the most memorable user of that trope:
Line 872:
* Nearing the end of ''[[Gears of War]] 3'' after {{spoiler|Marcus' father}} had committed a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] and died right in front of his son. Queen Myrrah, defeated, approached the gears and gloated to Marcus how all he had ever done is find ways to kill lots of people. Marcus simply stabbed her and said:
{{quote|'''Marcus''': ''This is for {{spoiler|Dom}} and all the others you have killed, [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|you bitch]].'' }}
** Done earlier in the boss fight if you keep it going long enough. As Myrrah {{spoiler|tries to stop Adam's Locust killing machine}}, she goes on a rant that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|humans are inherently violent and genocidal]], prompting her Locust to act the same way to defeat them. How does Marcus react to this insult to humanity? Does he deny it as not our nature?
{{quote|'''Marcus''': ''I can live with that.''}}
* On four separate occasions in [[Asura's Wrath]] ''you'' have the ability to do this by [[Talk to the Fist|punching out the guy doing the]] [[Hannibal Lecture]]. For three of these occasions, you get an achievement for doing so.
