StarCraft/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|Tassadar}}'s [[Heroic Sacrifice]] at the end of ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'' combines this with [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

*** This is made even worse via a cinematic in ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]] II'', where we see {{spoiler|Kerrigan, the last person left at New Gettysburg, calling for backup. She's implied to have watched ''her entire force'' be devoured by the Zerg, and she's darting from place to place, fighting off zerglings and hydralisks erupting from every shadow, as her cloaking device runs out of energy and her ammunition runs out. Down to just her sidearm, she sees a mass of zerglings coming towards her, and knows from the lack of radio contact and the mutalisks wheeling overhead that her rescue is not coming. [[Averted Trope|Instead]] [[The Last Dance|of fighting to the last]], [[Despair Event Horizon|she drops her gun, completely broken, and just]] ''[[Despair Event Horizon|stands there]]'' [[Despair Event Horizon|as the Zerg wave rushes her]].}} If this wasn't Arcturus's [[Moral Event Horizon]] moment before, it certainly is now.
