Line 67:
* In ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'' Shaun suffers from this after beating a zombie to a bloody pulp with his best friend Ed. Ed [[Crowning Moment of Funny|seems completely oblivious to this while eating a Cornetto]]
* Not sure if he counts as a hero, especially considering the events immediately following this scene, but Philip Seymour Hoffman's character has an epic one in ''Before the Devil Knows You're Dead'' after {{spoiler|his wife leaves him and reveals she's been sleeping with his brother.}} He calmly and systematically dismantles their apartment, pouring their decorative marbles over the coffee table and tearing up his entire bedroom. And then shit really hits the fan.
* In ''[[The Last Temptation of Christ]]'', Jesus has been rescued from the Cross by his guardian angel (in the form of a little girl). He has married Mary Magdalene, and is raising a family. He has his BSOD when his former disciples [[The Reveal|reveal]] his ever-present guardian angel as {{spoiler|Satan, having sabotaged his dying for the sins of the world.}} Fortunately, {{spoiler|[[Itit Waswas [[All Just a Dream]] or Satan's tempting fantasy.}}
* In ''[[The Passion of the Christ]]'' an enmotionally exhausted Mary embraces Jesus after he has been taken down from the cross ... and is too spent to do anything but give the thousand yard stare.
* In [[Lawrence of Arabia]], the title character has a few of these, most notably after he's captured and beaten (and, by implication, possibly raped) by Turkish soldiers.
Line 84:
* Sam from ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' suffers one in the second film when {{spoiler|Optimus dies}}. And again in the third film when {{spoiler|he sees the Autobots' ship destroyed by Starscream and believes the Autobots are dead.}} Also, various bystanders are shown to be standing speechless or sitting dejectedly after {{spoiler|Chicago's invasion by the Decepticons}} and even Epps and NEST soldiers {{spoiler|gave up and declared the fight over. They fortunately snap out of it when Optimus and the rest of the Autobots [[Big Damn Heroes|came back]].}}
