You Monster!: Difference between revisions

'''Alucard''': I get that a lot. }}

* Nanoha from ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' gets this a lot.

** Signum also comments "Good grief, you monster. I thought I was going to die back there." to Nanoha in the last chapter of the ''StrikerS'' manga after their mock battle concludes in a draw. Kind of hypocritical of her, as she probably came closer to killing Nanoha with her fiery explosions.

* Played with in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', where Yugi says that he won't call an enemy a monster, since that would be an [[Insult to Rocks|insult to the game's monster cards]].

* ''[[Darker than Black]]'': The line shows up several times, but it's usually as much due to [[Fantastic Racism]] as to actually evil behavior. Though [[Bad Powers, Bad People|given]] [[Good Powers, Bad People|the nature]] [[Lack of Empathy|of supers in this show]], there's some intersect there.

* ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'': In response to a demand for his name from one of the early bad guys, Kenshiro replies "I don't give my name to monsters." Said early bad guy had just [[Kick the Dog|forced a villager to try to shoot a can off the head of his little boy who was tied to a stake, William Tell style]].

* [[Trigun|Vash the Stampede]] gets this periodically, even for just his skills and reputation. When things about his...special body come out this trope gets cranked up, such as the shooting-a-hole-in-the-moon thing. The single saddest example is when he saves a town in the ''Maximum'' manga shortly after being [[Transformation Trauma|forcibly introduced to just how flexible he is]], and winds up reflexively catching a bullet with a 'feather' from his arm. The townspeople ''stone him''.

** On the other hand, if you try this on his [[Evil Twin]] [[Insult Backfire|he'll just smile]].

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'': In the 2003 revival, Anthony's own mother calls him a monster after all the years she had to suffer under her son's godlike powers.

{{quote|"What have you done, you monster?!}}

* [[The Office|YOU]] [[Hilarious Outtakes|BAS]][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN3RqBS8JVo&feature=related TARD]!!

{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Shiki:'''}} "That’s inhuman... You’re inhuman, {{spoiler|Neku}}. No better than those Reapers!"}}

* ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'': "You inhuman beast! How could you?"

** GLaDOS shows this trope again in co-op the first time you destroy a turret:

*** "What are you doing? YOU MONSTER! They're one of us!"

{{quote|'''Cloud:''' I've got some things...to settle with you.

'''Sephiroth:''' You ignorant traitor! }}

{{quote|'''Ragna''': Guh... this guy's a monster...! Damn, talk about [[Always Close|cutting it close]]...!}}

* ''[[Rosenkreuzstilette]] Grollschwert'': Grolla to Michael Sepperin because [[This Is Unforgivable!|she blames him]] for disrupting her grandfather and master's peaceful slumber.

{{quote|"Come now, was that really monstrous? This, now ''this'' is monstrous."}}

** He then proceeds to fire ''[[More Dakka|ten more nukes]]''.

{{quote|'''Caellach:''' Hmm... You waste your last breath on insults, and feeble ones at that. Die then, fool of Frelia.}}

* ''[[Vidoegame/Final Fantasy VI|Final Fantasy VI]]'': Kefka is referred to as such in the Advance remake. Well, sort of. The exact words are "You're Inhuman" when Shadow and Sabin reveal themselves to Kefka shortly after Kefka demands to get the poison ready so he could proceed to dump it into Doma's water supply, the message is still just as clear.

* Baiken's win quote against Order-Sol in ''[[Guilty Gear]]''.

* {{spoiler|The first diplomatic dialogue option when confronting Meredith before the [[Final Boss]] [[Final Battle|Battle]] in the mage campaign of The Last Straw in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' is "You're a monster".}}

* In ''[[The Reconstruction]]'', this is Dehl's response to learning that {{spoiler|Havan tortured Donz to death.}}

{{quote|'''Axem Red:''' You...you monster! How could you do such a thing?

'''Mecha Sonic:''' Monster? I'm not a monster. '''[[A God Am I|I'm a god!]]''' }}

 

== Webcomics ==

'''{{spoiler|Tarvalon}}''': [[Charm Person|Actually, we ''do'' love her]]. You monster. }}

** Sergeant Kowalski is another [[Phrase Catcher]]. He was referred as "an absolute monster of a special forces soldier" by {{spoiler|Gav-clone Danita}} who [[Brain Uploading|received his memories]], but retained free will in a botched [[Grand Theft Me|takeover attempt]]. So far, the list of people who flatly called him or his clone "monster" in the face on-screen includes Admiral [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Manyara Emm]] (who was his commander to begin with) and [[Wide-Eyed Idealist|Haley Sorlie]] (who got command of his brain-clone in an emergency and as such was given dossier) and Alexia Murtaugh. Kowalski makes sarcastic comments, but doesn't object, and even points out when teammates fail to think "monstrous enough". He does find it more satisfying if he gets to kill freely during a mission... That said, his clones remove inconvenient civilians peacefully if it's up to them and are trusted to not go rogue when sent on suicide missions (one did ally with the target, but that's after she discovered a greater and immediate threat, so this was approved on the next contact).

 

== Western Animation ==

'''Burns:''' I have decided to protect myself ever since I was attacked in my office by an [[Unknown Rival|unidentified assailant]].

'''Homer ''[from the crowd]'':''' D'oh! }}

* Blaineley, in ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]''. When Geoff calls her a monster, she dismissively replies, "Meh. Been called worse."

* ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'': Towards the end of the pilot, Gosalyn (not yet his daughter) is held hostage and essentially tossed off the top of Saint Canard's tallest building, rescued when Darkwing gives the [[Big Bad]] what he wants. In exchange, Taurus Bulba declares that Gosalyn has [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|outlived her usefulness]], has her raised even higher, and drops her. Darkwing's answer? 'You butcher!', a cheap shot, and Bulba being worried for the first time in his criminal career.
