you know what trope pisses me off the most? when the protag is pointing a gun at somebody and they’re like “you won’t do it. you’re too good” and the person holding the gun is like oh shit i am and they slowly lower the gun while the other person laughs. WHAT THE FUCK. if i were there, and somebody told me “you won’t do it” i would immediately shoot them dead without hesitating. who are you to tell me what i wont do. musty bitch
everytime someone brings up this kinda trope, i always think of this scene
this is such a good example of “Oh man if you do this you’re totes as bad as me” like no bitch I’m protecting the damn universe by stabbing you you fuckwad
a personal favourite from my childhood
Someone gimme that Pratchett quote from Men At Arms, you guys know da one!
*snaps fingers frenetically*
‘If you have
to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you
entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over
people, and they want to see you in fear.
They want you to know you’re going to die. So they’ll talk. They’ll
gloat.
They’ll
watch you squirm. They’ll put off the moment of murder like another man will
put off a good cigar.
So hope
like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a
word.’
