Line 145:
* [[Dirty Cop]]: {{spoiler|The entire UFE in part 3.}}
* [[Do with Him as You Will]]: {{spoiler|When Max is confronting Arthur Fischer, the surgeon who works for the organ thieves, the meeting is interrupted by a visibly disturbed and angry Serrano, who has been imprisoned along with the other unfortunate organ-theft victims. After a moment's consideration, Max lowers his gun, and allows his former enemy to kill the doctor with a scalpel}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]}}: {{spoiler|Victor Branco hangs himself when he gets incarcerated in the epilogue of the third game. Though it is implied it also could've been a faked suicide as retribution.}}
* [[Dull Surprise]]: The uninterested "Aaaaah" sound the [[Mooks]] make when you kill them. Many people also commented on Max's strangely constipated expression in the first game.
* {{spoiler|[[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Beating the 2nd game in the hardest difficulty setting nets you an ending wherein Mona survives. [[Road Cone|Given the 3rd sequel in the game,]] [[Doomed by Canon|this is probably not canon.]]}}
Line 196 ⟶ 195:
** Painfully averted in the first game, where enemies can peg you in the face with a pump-action shotgun blast from the other end of a football field, and in the third game, where some soldiers can drop smoke grenades that don't impede their aim at all.
* [[Important Haircut]]: Max shaves his head in the third game after failing to prevent a kidnapping {{spoiler|and murder}}.
* [[Indecisive Medium]]: The comic book cutscenes.▼
* [[Inexplicably Awesome]]: At no point is it ever revealed how the eponymous seemingly ordinary New York cop in an ostensibly realistic noiresque setting can have fighting abilities like some refugee from [[Heroic Bloodshed]] and can take ridiculous amounts of injury as long as he has painkillers at hand.
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Gruesomely averted in the first game. We see a bloody crib and what's left of Max's baby in the very first level.
* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: People might not initially be aware, but in ''Max Payne 3'', young Max looks an awful lot like his voice actor, James McCaffrey. It seems that this time around, Rockstar modeled the character after his original actor instead of either Sam Lake or Timothy Gibbs.
▲* [[Indecisive Medium]]: The comic book cutscenes.
* [[Inspector Javert]]: Bravura in the original game was out to capture Max Payne. Even ignoring the fact that he was framed for Alex Balder's death, Payne killed at least a dozen mooks before that scene, and hundreds after.
* [[Ironic Nursery Tune]]: heard in Max's first nightmare along with his dead baby's cryings.
