Shut Up, Kirk: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* In ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', [[Big Bad]] {{spoiler|Miyo Takano}} shoots Keiichi point blank during his [[Kirk Summation]] to shut him up. It's a bit [[Groundhog Day Loop|complicated]] how only the identity of the villain is a spoiler.

* When, Johnathan, Zeppeli, and Speedwagon confront the vampire Dio in [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1]], Zeppeli notices Dio has healed his wounds from his previous fight with Johnathan and asks him how many lives he's "sucked away" to heal his wounds. Dio coolly asks Zeppeli if he's remembered every piece of bread he's ever eaten.

** Kimblee has his moment of this too, listening to Al's declaration that he will [[Take a Third Option]] that will allow them to save everyone and regain their bodies. Kimblee then reasons there must exist a fourth option where both brothers fail completely.

 

* Happened in ''[[Transformers: All Hail Megatron]]''. When Prime returned to put the kibosh on Megatron, he began with his [[Catch Phrase]] about freedom being the right of all-- '''OH, SHUT UP!!'''

* In the one-shot ''[[Spider-Man| Spider-Man: Dead Man's Hand]]'', Spidey goes to see the High Evolutionary, after a plague unleashed by Miles Warren starts to wreck havoc in New York:

:* However, the High Evolutionary would change his mind by the climax because he realized Spidey had a point there.

 

* Done gloriously in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]''.

{{quote|'''Reverend Shooter:''' Stop! Please stop this ''mindless'' violence! Nicholas, I know that you're not a man of God, but ''surely'' you're a man of ''peace''.

'''Azetbur:''' ''Inalien''... If only you could hear yourselves? ''Human'' rights. Why the very name is racist. [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|The Federation is no more than a 'homo sapiens' only club.]] }}

 

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'': A good example can be found, appropriately enough, in the page quote for [[Kirk Summation]], with [[The Master (trope)|The Master]]'s reply to the Doctor's:

{{quote|'''The Doctor:''' You want dominion over the living, but all you do is kill.

'''Jaime:''' (*In a "duh" voice) I hoped the fall would kill him. }}

 

* [[Older Than Print]]: In the 11th century ''[[The Song of Roland|Chanson de Roland]]'', Charlemagne calls on the Pagan leader Baligant to repent and be baptized, and then the Emperor his "first friend will be." Baligant tells him, "Your sermon's but ill preached." Of course, the medieval belief that being non-Christian necessarily makes Baligant the villian of the piece hits modern [[Values Dissonance]].

* Done in ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'' by O'Brien to Winston: when torturing Winston at the end, O'Brien asks why the Party goes to the lengths it does to keep power. Winston says that it's for the good of the people. O'Brien rebukes him and tells him flat out, the Party seeks and keeps power for power's sake.

* As ''[[The Hobbit]]'' goes on, Bilbo gets progressively more fed up with the dwarves' selfishness and complaining and delivers a number of these speeches to them. And they are all awesome.

 

* ''[[Peanuts]]'':

** Lampshaded in one strip, when Charlie Brown is being attacked by Violet, and he begins to explain to her how violence is never the answer to anything. Violet just slugs him and says "I had to hit him quick-- he was starting to make sense!"

** In [http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/2016/11/17 this strip], Lucy is ''not'' in the mood to hear Linus psychoanalyze why she is bored on a rainy day. Linus wisely shuts up.

 

* ''[[Grim Fandango]]''. In a moment that subverts [[Just Between You and Me]], [[Bond Villain Stupidity]] and [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]:

{{quote|'''Manny:''' Is this where you tell me all about your secret plan, Hector? How you stole Double N tickets from innocent souls, pretended to sell them but secretly hoarded them all to yourself in a desperate attempt to get out of the Land of the Dead?

{{quote|'''The Devourlord:''' [[For the Evulz|Screw you, this is fun]].}}

 

* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]''

** The newly lichified Xykon in the [[Prequel]] ''[[Start of Darkness]]'' delivers a most glorious Shut Up, Kirk! to the elven druid Lirian at the climax of their battle:

* ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]'' After Bob has deconstructed all Fructose Riboflavin's reasons for his crimes, Riboflavin responds, [http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20100914.html "YOU GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"]

 

* While the person being shut up is not exactly a hero, it may count in an episode of ''[[I'm a Marvel And I'm a DC|Happy Hour]]'' where the Joker electrocuted the Green Goblin when the latter is lecturing him on why his plan on turning every superhero [[Darker and Edgier]] is not a good thing.

 

* This happens in the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "Question Authority". Question goes to kill Lex Luthor to prevent him from becoming President and creating a [[Stable Time Loop]] which causes Superman and the Justice League to become totalitarians. Long story short, Luthor laughs at him, beats him up, and tells him he has no intention of being president, because his real goal is {{spoiler|to get superpowers by putting himself in another Amazo body that he designed after seeing the blueprints for the original}}.

* A rare good-guy-on-good-guy version occurs in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', when Master Pakku is refusing to teach Katara Waterbending because she's a girl:
