Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A character refuses to recant a decision that is clearly a mistake, claiming he's sunk too much into it or is on the cusp of achieving some goal.
* '''Straight''': Despite [[TookALevelInJerkass several]] [[TookALevelInCynic warming]] [[BloodKnight signs]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist Gina]] refuses to back away from her one-woman crusade for [[ForGreatJustice justice]], no matter what she hears from anyone.
* '''Exaggerated''': Gina has become a full-on TotalitarianUtilitarian, enslaved millions around the world and imprisoned her friends for speaking out against her, but still refuses to admit she's [[{{Understatement}} made some missteps]].
* '''Downplayed''': The plans Gina puts into motion [[GuileHero are unorthodox but very well-measured]], always balancing risk versus reward and [[TheFettered never crossing the line]]. At least, [[SlowlySlippingIntoEvil that's how she started out...]]
* '''Justified''': Gina [[PragmaticHero believes the ends justifies the means]], [[GoodIsNotNice doesn't care much for other peoples' opinions]], and considers the goodness she could reap from fighting dirty [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans worth any cost]].
* '''Inverted''': [[TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget No longer caring who she has to hurt to accomplish her goals]], Gina [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope goes all-in on efforts to rid the world of evil]], relying on [[TautologicalTemplar her own sense of self-righteousness]] to reassure her that she's doing the right thing.
* '''Subverted''': When she realizes just how much her work has costed her, as well as just how much she has left to lose, Gina recants at the last second before [[MoralEventHorizon she does something irredeemable]].
* '''Parodied''': Unintended consequences and the SunkCostFallacy do not register in [[LawfulStupid Gina's]] worldview.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Gina knows she's gone too far, but can't back off her choices without a lot of pain and suffering coming down on lot of people. [[TrappedInVillainy The only thing to do is keep going and hope she can eventually find an off-ramp]].
* '''Averted''': Gina never says she's come too far, [[ObliviouslyEvil because she still has a long way to go]].
* '''Enforced''': [[OmniscientMoralityLicense Access to godlike powers]] has altered Gina's outlook to the point where [[BlueAndOrangeMorality it's a little wonky by mortal standards]], making her less likely to renege on a course of action.
* '''Lampshaded''': After laying out for her critics [[LongList the many questionable acts she's done for the greater good]], Gina asks why she would stop now [[AllForNothing and let them go to waste]].
* '''Invoked''': Gina thinks her problem is that she [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} doesn't go too far enough]] with her plans, resulting in a reluctant compromise between [[SmallStepsHero minor league heroics]] that [[GoodIsImpotent prove ineffective]] and more direct action. Her failures spur her to [[StartOfDarkness dream a lot bigger]] and ignore those who claim her plans are dangerous.
* '''Defied''': Gina knows her limits and has a support system in place (her [[TrueCompanions far more practical friends]]) to keep her from diving off the deep end.
* '''Exploited''': Despite having no inner conflicts about her goals, [[WoundedGazelleGambit projecting doubts about her efforts to her enemies]] is something [[UnscrupulousHero Gina]] is way into.
* '''Discussed''': Gina is constantly questioning herself and whether or not she's doing the right thing, and [[IgnoredEpiphany ultimately comes down on the side of moving forward]].
* '''Conversed''': "ThisIsThePartWhere you tell me you can't turn back now because you're so close to victory, and that I should just GetOut if I can't handle your way of doing things. [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Am I right, Gina]]?"
* '''Implied''': Even if Gina [[IDidWhatIHadToDo claims to have no qualms about her actions]], her expression tells anyone paying attention that [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she thinks it's too late to turn back anyway]].
* '''Deconstructed''': Gina doesn't recant her extreme efforts [[TheExtremistWasRight because in the end they see her through]]. The world becomes a better place because she refuses to compromise and does what has to be done, prompting a lot of other people to [[MoralPragmatist revise their moral codes downward to match her successes]].
** Alternatively, Gina doesn't turn back, and her machinations [[TooCleverByHalf prove too much for her to handle]], [[HoistByHisOwnPetard destroying her by her own hand]].
* '''Reconstructed''': Gina has come to terms with her status as [[SociopathicHero a monstrously evil person fighting for good]], and is secure in the knowledge that [[NoPlaceForMeThere she will never inherit the promised land she endeavors to create]].
