History Main / YouHaveNoChanceToSurvive

"Your days are numbered!" (if it's absolutely true, see YourDaysAreNumbered.)
"I'm afraid we ''won't'' meet again."
"This is now the ultimate power in the (x). We will crush you under our feet like insects!"
"Soon you will all be dead, and I will be (lounging on a beach / on my throne / etc!)"
"Take time to collect your thoughts, for soon you will be dead!"
"Say your last goodbyes!"

Not to be confused with YourDaysAreNumbered, which is not a threat but a fact. (despite the fact some villains may very well use that exact phrase here; if the hero's death is a foregone conclusion to ''them'', it counts).

Not to be confused with YourDaysAreNumbered (despite the fact some villains may very well use that exact phrase to state this).

-->'''CATS:''' You are on the way to destruction.
-->'''Captain:''' What you say!
-->'''CATS:''' You have no chance to survive make your time.

A form of EvilGloating, this tends to be standard for a SmugSnake. The villain in question can and will combine this with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Expect this to almost always be invoked when there's a DeathTrap.

This would be a StockPhrase...although very few villains end up saying this the same way twice.

-->'''CATS:''' '''{{You are on the way to destruction}}'''. (...)
-->'''CATS:''' '''{{You have no chance to survive make your time}}'''.

'''''"You Have No Chance To Survive! Goodbye, Mr. (x)!"'''''

A form of EvilGloating, this tends to be standard for a SmugSnake. The villain in question can and will combine this with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Expect this to almost always be invoked when there's a DeathTrap. This would be a StockPhrase...although very few villains end up saying this the same way twice.

Not to be confused with YourDaysAreNumbered, which is not a threat but a fact. (Note that villains often use the exact phrase, "Your days are numbered!" to state this. Perhaps literally accompanied by "This is how much time you have to live!" If it's merely a threat, such examples belong here.) Expect the hero's response to be "NeverTellMeTheOdds".

The classic telegraphed villain threat has several variations. It may be uttered shortly after invading [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs All Of Your Base]], or while gazing at the hero [[PalantirPloy through a viewfinder]] while [[OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness contemplating his demise]], or shouted in anger instead of "WeWillMeetAgain!" Often used in place of {{Monologuing}} by a villain GenreSavvy enough to realize that [[TalkingIsAFreeAction talking is not a free action]]. May be accompanied by an EvilLaugh ("Ha ha ha ha''!!''" or just "Ha ha ha" for short). Variations include:

-->"Your days are numbered!" (when the villain is right, contrast YourDaysAreNumbered)
-->"I'm afraid we ''won't'' [[WeWillMeetAgain meet again]]."
-->"This is now the ultimate power in the (x). We will crush you under our feet like insects!"
-->"Soon you will all be dead, and ''I'' will be (lounging on a beach / [[OrcusOnHisThrone on my throne]] / etc!)"
-->"Take time to collect your thoughts, for soon you will be (x)!" ("[[ZeroWing Make Your Time]]!")
-->"Say your last goodbyes!"

Unless the villain is a {{literal genie}}, these sort of telegraphed threats are not merely {{tempting fate}}; once uttered, it is near-axiomatic proof that the heroes will survive by the rule of MillionToOneChance, if not because the villain [[BondVillainStupidity telegraphed his intentions]].

When the villain finally gets serious and utters a [[PreMortemOneLiner Pre-Mortem]] one liner, it's PrepareToDie.

Trope Namer is the ''ZeroWing'' threat "You Have No Chance To Survive Make Your Time."

Curiously, you may be allowed to TakeYourTime; compare WeWait. see also BondVillainStupidity.

The inverse of this trope: "[[ThanatosGambit Soon I will be dead]]... [[TakingYouWithMe and you with me]]!"

Not to be confused with YourDaysAreNumbered, which is not a threat but a fact. (Note that villains often use that exact phrase, perhaps literally accompanied by "This is how much time you have to live!" If it's merely a threat, such examples belong here.) Expect "NeverTellMeTheOdds" to be the hero's response.

-->"We will crush you under our feet like insects!"

Thnverse of this trope: "[[ThanatosGambit Soon I will be dead]]... [[TakingYouWithMe and you with me]]!"

-->'''Narrator:''' In A.D. 2101 {{War Was Beginning}}.
-->'''Operator:''' {{Someone Set Up Us The Bomb}}'''''!!''''' ...

-->'''CATS:''' '''{{You are on the way to destruction}}'''. ...

-->'''Captain:''' [[TakeOffEveryZig Take Off Every 'ZIG']]. ...
-->'''Captain:''' ForGreatJustice'''''!!'''''

-->"Take time to collect your thoughts, for soon you will be (x)!"

Inverse of this trope: "[[ThanatosGambit Soon I will be dead]]... [[TakingYouWithMe and you with me]]!"

* ''ZeroWing'' is but one particularly [[MemeticMutation well known]] example:
-->'''CATS:''' How are you gentlemen.

-->'''CATS:''' '''{{You are on the way to destruction}}'''.
-->'''Captain:''' What you say'''''!!'''''

* ''[[ThreeHundred 300]]'': [[OlderThenTheyThink Straight from]] {{Herodotus}}:

'''''"You Have No Chance To Survive! Goodbye, Mr. (x)!"'''''

Standard {{Villain}} CatchPhrase, typically uttered when StoryboardingTheApocalypse shortly after invading [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs All Of Your Base]], before releasing the captive heroes into a DeathTrap, or during an OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness meeting while gazing [[PalantirPloy through a viewfinder]], or shouted in anger instead of "WeWillMeetAgain". Often used in place of {{Monologuing}} by a villain GenreSavvy enough to realize that [[TalkingIsAFreeAction talking is not a free action]].

Often accompanied by an EvilLaugh ("Ha ha ha ha''!!''" or just "Ha ha ha" for short).

May literally be accompanied by "This is how much time you have to live!"

Villainous counterpart to NeverTellMeTheOdds, which is usually the hero's response.

Compare IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect, NoOneCouldSurviveThat.

Variations include proclaiming "this battle station is now the ultimate power in the X!" which is also a form of TemptingFate. The standard catchphrase and/or telegraphed threat version ("we will crush you under our feet like insects") is ''not'' tempting fate, however; once uttered, it is near-axiomatic proof that the heroes will survive by the rule of MillionToOneChance.

Alt title: MakeYourTime; YouAreOnTheWayToDestruction. You may be allowed to TakeYourTime.

Stock phrase, subtrope of EvilGloating.

Inverse of INeedYouStronger, IWantThemAlive.

Peculiarly, often used in combination with WeWait; see OrcusOnHisThrone.

Compare and contrast: YouWillBeSpared. Not to be confused with YourDaysAreNumbered.

Related to BondVillainStupidity. But don't confuse this with NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine.
