To Win Without Fighting: Difference between revisions

 

This trope is a powerful tool; it leaves the impression of a powerful, impressive hero or sympathetic antagonist who has defeated his or her enemy so completely he could crush him with a signal... yet he doesn't, because he knows that it is not necessary. Sometimes the greatest sign of power is not having to use it. It is particularly powerful when combined with [[Character Development]]; a hero who was previously merciless and hot-headed, yet impotent, who grows into this wise, merciful, and yet ''powerful'' figure by stories end is someone who will leave a lasting impression on any audience.
