Your Mind Makes It Real: Difference between revisions

* A subversion: In a ''[[Metroid]]''-based webcomic called ''Metroid: Third Derivative'', Samus is "uploaded" to the Space Pirates' main computer, and put into a training simulation by a mostly-friendly pirate. Samus asks the Pirate, "And I suppose if I die here I die in the real world too?" The Pirate answers, "What? No. That's stupid and completely defeats the point of virtual training." To which she replies, "Chalk up a rare victory for common sense then."

** Double Subverted when {{spoiler|Mother Brain hijacks the simulation. While she can't physically hurt Samus, she can subject her to horrible [[Mind Rape]]. When that didn't work, she tried to shut down the simulation with Samus still in it, which would have left her brain dead.}}

* Parodied on ''[[Xkcd]]'': "[http://xkcd.com/180/ If you die in Canada, you die in real life!]"

* ''[[Irregular Webcomic]]'' does it too. {{spoiler|It's the cause of death for one of the characters in the sci-fi theme}}.
