More Expendable Than You: Difference between revisions

m
Line 132:
* Practically spoofed in ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', when somebody has to wear the [[Powered Armor|Exo-suit]] to defeat the [[Big Bad]], but doing so might drain the wearer to death. Danny plans to knock everyone out to use it for himself, but that proves to be unnecessary as ''everybody'' else knocks each other out, each claiming that he'd do it.
* In ''[[X-Men: The Animated Series]]'', Wolverine and Cyclops argue over who should sacrifice himself to resurrect Jean after her [[Heroic Sacrifice]]. The Phoenix nips the argument in the bud by explaining that the lifeforce needed to save Jean can be taken from multiple donors without anyone immediately dying though all of their lives would be shortened.
* The 1964 ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short "Dumb Patrol", which takes place during [[World War I]] , begins with a group of Allied pilots drawing drawsstraws to decide who flies out to take on the dreaded Baron Sam Von Schpamm (ie, Yosemite Sam); the "winner" is "Smedley" (ie, Porky Pig). However, the next morning, Bugs appears and knocks Smedley out in order to take his place, [[Breaking the Fourth Wall| turning to the viewer]] and saying he had to do so, as Smedley's "got a wife and six piglets at home."
