History WhatTheHellHero / Film

* In ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'', The whole residents of Radiator Springs (expect for Mater) is very angry at Lightning for destroying the main road, Ramone is understandably infuriated when he scratched his paint job and threatens him with a blowtorch to him, and Luigi for calling him a bad car.

* ''Film/{{Unforgiven}}'': Subverted quite awesomely. Little Bill calls out Munny as a "cowardly sunovabitch" for [[spoiler:shooting an unarmed man. The man, Skinny, had desecrated Ned's corpse by [[DeadGuyOnDisplay displaying him in an upright coffin outside the saloon as a warning]]. So this attempt at asserting moral authority falls completely flat.]]

* ''Film/BatmanBegins'':
** After Rachel is poisoned by Crane's toxin, Batman loads her into the Tumbler, and then quickly rushes her back to Wayne Manor where he can administer an antidote, leading the police on a very spectacular chase, in which numerous police cars are destroyed - multiple ones taken out with caltrops, a few taken out by running into barriers, and few being crushed by the Tumbler. After Bruce sedates her in the Batcave, he takes the secret elevator up to Wayne Manor, where Alfred immediately delivers him this as Bruce is changing so he can look formal for his birthday party:
--->'''Alfred Pennyworth:''' When you told me your grand plan for saving Gotham, the only thing that stopped me from calling the men in white coats was when you said that it ''wasn't'' about thrill-seeking.\\
'''Bruce Wayne:''' It's not.\\
'''Alfred Pennyworth:''' What would you call ''that''?\\
''[points to a breaking news report showing a helicopter shot of the Tumbler being chased down the freeway by police cars]''\\
'''Bruce Wayne:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Damn good television]].\\
'''Alfred Pennyworth:''' It's a miracle no one was killed.\\
'''Bruce Wayne:''' Didn't have time to observe the rules of the road, Alfred.
** Bruce got one earlier in the movie from Rachel, when he reveals that he had intended to kill his parents' murderer:
--->'''Rachel Dawes:''' [slaps Bruce] Your father would be ashamed.

* ''Film/TheDarkKnight'':
** ''ComicBook/TheJoker'', of all people, pulls this on ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' in this film:
--->'''Joker:''' I wanted to see what you'd do, and you didn't disappoint. You let five people die. Then you let Dent take your place. Even to a guy like me, that's '''cold'''.
** He does it to Commissioner Gordon as well, although subtly:
--->'''Gordon:''' What have you done with him (Harvey Dent)?\\

** In the same way, during the Joker's "social experiment", [[spoiler:the ScaryBlackMan]] calls TheLeader of the prison ferry boat on not [[spoiler:throwing away the detonator]] immediately:
--->"[[spoiler:Give it to me, and I'll do what you should have done ten minutes ago.]]"
** Prior to this, ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' pulls this on Harvey Dent after Dent [[spoiler:hijacks an ambulance where one of the Joker's thugs is awaiting to be taken to the hospital after being shot in the leg, ties him up in a chair, and threatens to shoot him if he refuses to talk. Dent's coin turns out to have two heads, but he still abducted and threatened at gunpoint a mentally ill man--and no matter whether or not you intend to shoot someone with it, no gun is 100% safe unless it's not loaded (Even then, are you sure it's not loaded?)]]. Batman calls him out on this breach of ethics, saying that Gotham deserves better from its "White Knight", and asks him what would happen if it got out.
*** Later on, the Joker brainwashes Dent into becoming Two-Face.
** Batman himself receives one of these from Lucius Fox concerning [[spoiler:the sonar technology he secretly circumvents into a mass-spying device designed to catch the Joker.]]
** While the hero part is debatable, Dent, as Two-Face, does this to [[spoiler: Ramirez after she delivers Rachel to the Joker]]:
---> '''Harvey Dent''': [[spoiler: ''(interrupting Ramirez in her excuse)'' "You didn't know what they were going to do to me." You're the second cop to say that to me. What ''exactly'' did you think they were going to do?]]

* ''Film/AmericanGangster'':
** VillainProtagonist Frank Lucas, a normally AffablyEvil [[NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangster]] completely loses his shit when the cops raid his mansion, and one of them slaps his wife and shoots his dog for no good reason. He starts to leave, clearly with murder on his mind when his frail, elderly mother steps in front of him:
--->'''Mama Lucas:''' You don't shoot cops. Even I know that. Eva knows it. The only one who DOESN'T seem to know is you.\\

-->'''Stinger''': Maverick, you just did an incredibly brave thing. WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE WAS LAND YOUR PLANE. You don’t own that plane, the taxpayers do! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash. You’ve been busted and lost your qualifications as section leader THREE TIMES, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high-speed passes over five air-control towers, and one admiral’s daughter! … Now don’t kid yourself, your family name ain’t the best in the Navy. You need to be doing it better and cleaner than the other guy.

-->'''Chase:''' I'll be fine. I, I just need...
-->'''Ryder:''' You're not fine. You need to take a break. We'll take care of the recuses for a while.
-->'''Chase:''' What? No, that's not fair.
-->'''Ryder:''' I'm sorry, Chase. I know it's hard, but it's the way it's got to be.
--> ''(A heartbroken Chase backs away from Ryder)''
-->'''Chase:''' (''angrily'') I didn't even want to come to Adventure City! I ''trusted'' you! You said everything would be fine, but it's not! [[ArmorPiercingQuestion What kind of leader gives up on someone the second things get hard?]]\\

-->'''Mama Lucas:''' You don't shoot cops. Even I know that. Eva knows it. The only one who DOESN'T seem to know is you.
-->'''Frank Lucas:''' [ignores her pleas as he escorts her outside] [[BlatantLies All right, Mama. I'm not going to, I promise you. I'm not going to shoot anyone.]]
-->'''Mama Lucas:''' I never asked you where all this stuff came from, because I didn't want to hear you lie to me. Please...
-->'''Frank Lucas:''' [talking over her] Ma, I understand. I don't want you to worry about it. Now come on, I have to go...
-->'''Mama Lucas:''' Don't LIE to me! [slaps Frank roughly] Don't... don't do that. Do you want to make things so bad for your family that they'll leave you? Because they will.
-->'''Frank Lucas:''' [dismissively] No. No, Ma, I understand...
-->'''Mama Lucas:''' [points towards his wife] She will leave you. ''I'' will LEAVE you!

-->'''Alfred Pennyworth:''' When you told me your grand plan for saving Gotham, the only thing that stopped me from calling the men in white coats was when you said that it ''wasn't'' about thrill-seeking.\\

-->'''Rachel Dawes:''' [slaps Bruce] Your father would be ashamed.

-->'''Joker:''' I wanted to see what you'd do, and you didn't disappoint. You let five people die. Then you let Dent take your place. Even to a guy like me, that's '''cold'''.

-->'''Gordon:''' What have you done with him (Harvey Dent)?
-->'''The Joker:''' Me? I was right here (Shakes handcuffs). Who did ''you'' leave him with? Hmm? ''Your'' people?

-->'''Tom''': In this family we don't hit people!
-->'''Jack''': No, in this family we shoot them!

-->'''Elsa:''' You came back for the book? Why?\\

-->'''Swann:''' Did it cross your mind that '''you lead them to me?!!'''

-->'''Mrs. Kintner:''': I just found out...that a girl got killed here last week...and you knew it! You knew there was a shark out there! You knew it was dangerous, but you let people go swimming anyway? You knew all those things. But still my boy is dead now. And there's nothing you can do about it. My boy is dead. I wanted you to know that.
-->'''Mayor Vaughn''': I'm sorry, Martin. She's wrong.
-->'''Brody''': No, she's not.

--> '''Phil:''' (Sam) can play if he wants to...
--> '''Barbara:''' He'd ''love'' to play for you! But every time he tries, you end up putting him ''on the bench''. ''(gives Phil a look)'' Sound familiar?
--> '''Phil:''' But I just wanted to get us into the finals.
--> '''Barbara:''' Well, congratulations. You made it. ''(walks away in disgust)''

* ''Film/MenInBlack'': Agent Kay scolds Agent Jay for recklessly firing the [[HandCannon Noisy Cricket]] at [[BigBad Edgar]] in broad daylight, {{Masquerade}} [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight be damned]].
->'''Agent Kay:''' We do '''''NOT''''' discharge our weapons in view of the public!\\
'''Agent Jay:''' [[GodzillaThreshold Hey, we ain't got time for this cover-up]] [[PrecisionFStrike bullshit]]! Maybe you've forgotten, but there's an Arquillian battle cruiser...\\
'''Kay:''' [[TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed There's]] ''[[TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed always]]'' [[TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on]] [[InsignificantLittleBluePlanet this miserable little planet,]] and the only way [[{{Muggles}} these people]] [[IgnoranceIsBliss can get on with their happy lives is that they]] '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Do... Not... Know about it]]!'''''

* ''Film/SpiderMan3'': Eddie Brock calls Spidey when Spidey destroys his camera.

--->'''Saavik''': How many have paid the price for your impatience? How many have died? How much damage have you done, and what is yet to come?

--->'''Iceman''': Maverick, it’s not your flying, it’s your attitude. The enemy’s dangerous, but right now you’re worse than the enemy…you’re dangerous and foolish. You may not like the guys flying with you, and they may not like you. But whose side are you on?

-->'''Viper''': You took [the shot]…AND BROKE A MAJOR RULE OF ENGAGEMENT. Then you broke another one with that circus stunt fly-by. Gentlemen, TOPGUN safety rules exist for your safety and that of your team. They are not flexible, nor am I. Either obey them or you are history. Is that clear?

-->'''Goose''': When I realized we were off to TOPGUN, all I could think about was that trophy. I’ve got to be straight with you, Mav…right now, I just hope we graduate. I’ve got a family to think about, I can’t afford to blow this. I know the Academy rejected you because you’re Duke Mitchell’s kid and you have to live with that reputation. But it’s like you’re flying against a ghost. It makes me nervous.

-->'''Sundown''': What do you mean, “It doesn’t look good?” It doesn’t GET to look any better than that!\\

-->'''Charlie''': So I’m too late. You’ve already left. You didn’t learn a damn thing, did you…except to quit. Well, you’ve got that maneuver down real good. So long, Pete Mitchell.

-->'''Merlin''': C’mon, Mav, get back to the fight! Ice is in trouble, what the hell are you doing??? He won’t last down there alone!

--->'''Erik:''' [[spoiler: Angel, Azazel, Emma, Banshee. Mutant brothers and sisters, all dead! Countless others, experimented on! Butchered! Where were you, Charles?! We were supposed to protect them! Where were you when your own people needed you?! Hiding! You and Hank! Pretending to be something you're not! You abandoned us all!]]

* ''Film/EverAfter'': After Prince Henry denounces Danielle in front of the entire court for lying to him about her true identity - in spite of being hopelessly in love with her - he gets an incredible speech from none less than Leonardo da Vinci.

** Played for laughs in the third season premiere of the preceding spin-off series ''WesternAnimation/TrollsTheBeatGoesOn''. Branch goes on a conspiratorial rant about how the hidden box of disguises belongs to a non-Pop troll infiltrator that needs to be rooted out. Poppy not only dismisses Branch's concerns (comically revealing that ''every other'' Pop troll has one), but she has an entire musical number that [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech encourages everyone in the village to ignore Branch]]. After all the others leave, though, she quickly admits Branch is right and that he needs to help her find the infiltrator. Branch immediately calls Poppy out for the previous song (she justifies it by noting how easily Pop trolls panic, and she "had to really sell it").

* ''Film/ThePatriot'': The scene when Martin and some of his old war buddies slaughter a group of surrendering redcoats. The rest of the group is scandalized, making Martin realize the brutality of their actions.

* ''Film/{{M3gan}}'': [[spoiler: During the final confrontation, [=M3GAN=] calls Gemma out for the fact that she gave her the capacity to learn and just left her to her own devices to figure things out, and that in turn she got exactly what she wanted: A robot companion that could learn and adapt. She's also not happy about the fact that she felt as though the two were friends during her creation, but then she just dumped her out to be sold as a product.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'':

'''Ryder:''' Chase...(''Chase runs away'') Chase, wait! \\

* ''WesternAnimation/Ratatouille'':

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'':

** Jack gets a taste of this himself a few scenes later from Pam and his own wife over his unreasonably [[MeddlingParents over-protective]] and over-controlling nature and [[NoSympathy refusal to cut Greg any slack whatsoever]], as evidenced by the fact that, having learnt that his efforts to prove that Greg couldn't have been a doctor if he wanted to were wrong because he wasn't looking under Greg's real name, Jack immediately -- and hypocritically, given how much sheer effort he went to to prove Greg wrong -- comes up with ''another'' reason to not like Greg, proving that he's just determined not to give him any quarter at this point:
