The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'', {{spoiler|Gaeta's}} Mutiny and ''especially'' the New Caprican Resistance.

* Udara in the ''[[Alien Nation (TV series)|Alien Nation]]'' telemovie of the same name, a group of Tenctonese terrorists who resorted to brainwashing their own children into assassins and suicide bombers to fight the Overseers on the Slave Ship. Even after the slave's emancipation, Tenctonese sentiment was divided on whether the Udara were freedom fighters or extremists who did more harm than good.

* In ''[[V|V: The Miniseries]]'' the Resistance used biological warfare against the enemy. Given that most Visitors lived in sealed starships and thus had the option of simply leaving unharmed, it's not quite as nasty as it sounds.

* The Bajoran Resistance in ''[[Star Trek]]: [[Deep Space Nine]]''. They were anti-heroes at the very best, had a running mantra of [[I Did What I Had to Do]] and were sometimes even explicitly referred to as "terrorists", and not just by Cardassians (though usually). Ditto the Maquis.

* The mage revolt in ''[[Dragon Age 2]]'' is very brutal, and when [[Only Sane Man|Thrask]] goes down the hotheads take control and run away with it.

* A large part of ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'''s plot involves the beastpeople of Morgal's recent, successful, and terribly bloody revolution against the kingdom of Sana. Among other things, [[Would Hurt a Child|a little girl is captured and condemned]] to [[Cruel and Unusual Death]] in Belinsk, just for being Sanan nobility. {{spoiler|The Grave Eclipse is caused by the king of Morgal [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|forcing you to activate]] what he believes is a [[Superweapon Surprise|superweapon]], which he intends to use on Sana and on Morgal's other neighboring country, Bilibin.}}
