Stupid Sacrifice: Difference between revisions

* ''[[KonoKonoSuba: SubaGod's Blessing on This Wonderful World!]]'' starts with a [[Parodied Trope|parody]] of [[Heroic Sacrifice]], which ends up falling into this trope more than any other defined trope. It's a bit [[Zig Zagged Trope|zigzagged]] though. The main character pushes someone out of the way of a vehicle that was going to stop before it hit her. {{spoiler|After he pushed her out of the way, the vehicle stopped before hitting him, but he was so sure he was going to die, he got a heart attack and died.}}

* In ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (film)|Harry Potter]] and the Philosopher’s/Sorcerer's Stone]]'', Ron sacrifices himself as a chess piece so that they can win the magical game of chess and reach the stone. [[Adaptation-Induced Plothole|Noted by Hermione and Harry in the book]], where he himself is the knight, so he has to stand still and let the queen 'take' him. In the film he's sitting atop a massive stone horse, and many people have asked themselves why he just sat on that horse and watched as the queen approached, rather than jumping off... Granted, he doesn't die, but he could have. It's likely that Ron jumping off of the horse could have screwed up the game (that is, he only counts as the knight as long as he remains on the horse).
