    Films — Animation 
  • BoBoiBoy: The Movie: In the beginning of the movie, Bora Ra yells "NOOO!" when Klamkabot escapes from him yet again.
  • Disney movies often tend to have these.
    • Basil lets out one in The Great Mouse Detective when he discovers that the bullets don't match, meaning Ratigan has evaded him yet again.
    • The Rescuers Down Under, when Cody jumps and clutches on the trap with Marahute inside, also when McLeach falls off the waterfall to his doom.
    • The Disney English dub of Castle in the Sky has one delivered by Mark Hamill: Muska, blinded by the Spell of Destruction, staggers through the now collapsing corridors of Laputa's underground labyrinth. This is the last thing he says.
    • The Lion King (1994) has several:
      • Simba has this as Mufasa falls to his death in a well-done and dramatic way.
      • That Big No was overlapped with a second Big No with Simba's flashback in the same movie, right before adult Simba jumps back onto Pride Rock.
      • And again in the sequel, in which he has a flashback/dream sequence — two "Big No"s in a span of 11 seconds!
    • The Little Mermaid III: Ariel's Beginning. King Triton lets out one at the beginning when Queen Athena sacrifices herself to save the music box.
    • Mulan. Shan-Yu yells "Nooooooooooooo!" when Mushu fires a big rocket at him.
      • Doesn't he also do it when he thought all his soldiers were killed in the avalanche?
    • The main page quote refers to a more parodical approach to this; in Disney's Aladdin.
      • Aladdin when Abu starts to grab the ruby from the monkey idol.
      • Jafar, after he betrays Aladdin and realizes he doesn't have the lamp. Also, when he's sucked into a lamp in the ending he yells out three in quick succession.
      • Then, in the sequel, Jafar does it again once he realizes that Aladdin is still alive (last time Jafar saw him, Aladdin was about to be executed).
    • In Disney's Tarzan, it's none other than the main character with his powerful vocal cords who does this (albeit more out of rage than anything else), after being captured by Clayton's thugs on the ship and struck with the revelation that he was used by Clayton himself so that he could find and capture the gorillas. This 'NO' was SO big, loud and irate that even allies Terk and Tantor could hear him from within the African jungle and went to his rescue!
    • In Disney's Hercules:
    • In Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, all four times in the climax:
      • Quasimodo does it when Frollo starts the fire to burn Esmerelda.
      • As Phoebus rally the people of Paris and the gypsies to fight back against Frollo's tyranny, when he ask the people if they will allow him to desecrate Notre Dame, they shout "No!" as they charged against Frollo's troops.
      • Frollo in complete horror as the gargoyle comes to life and roar at his face as it cracks and fall to his well-deserved death.

Then Ralph dose this again after King Candy grabs Ralph's face to force him to watch Vanellope get eaten by Cy-Bugs.
    King Candy: Let's watch her die together, shall we?
    Ralph: NOOOOOOO!!!
    • Rabbit lets out a truly epic one in Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo when he finds out that the Easter supplies were taken with his friends when they moved (this part was never seen or known), and he finds out that he is already too late (or possibly unaware that he's still in the future). mixed with Eat the Camera.
    • In Atlantis: Milo's Return, as Erik Hellstrom's mad dream and Napoleon Delusion crumble along with his destroyed flying castle, he lets out an unusually heartbreaking example.

      • Auto manages a couple as well, despite being "played" by a voice synthesizer. Seems Macintalk puts a lot of emotion into that one word for some reason.

  • The Simpsons Movie: The DVD contains a deleted scene where Homer takes a ride in a sausage truck. After he leaves, the driver checks his cargo. Anyone who knows Homer probably expected the driver's reaction.

When the girls realize that their friend Jojo (now the infamous Mojo Jojo) has been lying to them all along and they've inadvertently helped him take over Townsville, resulting in the townspeople hating them even more, they beg the Professor to believe that this isn't what they wanted. When even HE expresses doubt in them, they fly straight up through the sky and into outer space in despair, shouting their big no as they go.

      • Both Past Austin and Austin-From-Ten-Minutes-From-Now give one of these in slow motion after Dr. Evil takes out the vial containing their mojo and throws it into the air. The fear in both Austins is clear as the destruction of their mojo would theoretically leave them impotent forever.

  • Bunni: Paige lets one loose when Chris takes his son.
  • Plays for laughs in The 'Burbs, in what may be the film's most famous scene when Art and Ray find a femur bone that they believe belongs to their missing neighbor in fact, it belongs to one of their former neighbors.
  • Ator from Cave Dwellers is mocked on MST3K for shouting "No!" while helplessly tied to a stick.
  • Dame Vaako in The Chronicles of Riddick When Riddick, not her husband, kills the Lord Marshall. Overlaps heavily with Narm.
  • Said by Ralphie in A Christmas Story when the mall Santa tells Ralphie that he can't give him a Red Ryder BB Gun because "He'll shoot his eye out" and then kicks him down the slide.
  • Chuck E. Cheese in the Galaxy 5000:

  • In the Dungeons & Dragons (2000) movie, Riddley Freeborn's "NOOOOOOOOOO!" when Snails dies. The anguished slow-mo scream of the protagonist in the Dungeons & Dragons movie, upon seeing his Sidekick friend Snails stabbed to death (after heroically attacking a villain all by himself), drew involuntary laughter from a movie-going audience at a cinema in Germany. It didn't help that Snails the thief was clearly supposed to be the Plucky Comic Relief but failed miserably, except at becoming the proof that even in Fantasy, the Black Dude Dies First.

    • Parodied in The Musical. Ash receives several bits of bad news, and with each bit he runs to a different part of the stage, drops to his knees and screams. The less "bad" the news gets, the funnier the scene becomes.
  • Several characters in The Fall scream "NOOOOOOOOOO!" at one point — sometimes it's played for humor, sometimes it's played very, very straight.
  • Fatal Instinct. Ned Ravine after he thinks his skunk has been killed.
  • Freddy Krueger does a hilarious version of this in Freddy vs. Jason when he finds himself caught on a piece of construction equipment and being dragged straight toward a thoroughly pissed-off Jason.

  • Inverted in Identity: Paris goes for a quiet, dread-filled "No..." when Timmy, the little boy who turned out to be the killer of all the other personalities inside Malcolm's head, arrives with a rake and says his only line in the movie - "Whores don't deserve a second chance."
  • Parodied by William Shatner in Invasion Iowa, writing 13 O's on his cue card.

  • Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life. Rather than the usual drawn-out version, Terry Sheridan gives a short, sharp "NO!" when Lara tries to talk him out of taking Pandora's Box so he can sell it for profit.
  • Legend (1985). Darkness yells "Nooooooo!" when he's blasted out into space by the sunlight.
  • The infamous 1983 film The Lonely Lady seems to think this trope automatically equals brilliant writing. Roger Ebert probably said it best:
    The movie's whole plot hinges on Pia's ability to rewrite a scene better than her jealous writer-husband. When the star of her husband's movie weeps that she can't play a certain graveyard scene, Pia whips out the portable typewriter and writes brilliant new dialogue for the star. What, you may ask, does Pia write? Here's what: She has the grieving widow kneel by the side of the open grave and cry out (are you ready for this?) "Why? Why!!!" That's it. That's the brilliant dialogue. And it can be used for more than death scene, let me tell you. In fact, I walked out of this movie saying to myself, "Why? Why!!!"
  • The Lord of the Rings films have a whole bunch of them, most of them reasonably done:
    • The Fellowship of the Ring:
      • Gimli has a Big No when he discovers the tomb of Balin, which dissolves into mournful sobbing.
      • Frodo also has one that doubles as a Slow "NO!" when Gandalf is pulled into the darkness of Khazad-dum by the Balrog. He gets better.
    • The Two Towers
      • Treebeard yells one upon the realization that Saruman has burned the forest of Fangorn.
    • The Return of the King
      • Sam has one right at the climax, when Frodo succumbs to the lure of the One Ring while standing on the edge of the Crack of Doom. It's actually two smaller "no"s, then followed by what might be the biggest "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" ever heard as Frodo puts on the Ring, alerting the Big Bad to his presence.
      • Samwise also has one when Frodo gets spotted by Sauron's eye in Mordor.
      • Another is screamed twice by Éomer upon the discovery of his uncle King Théoden dead and his sister Éowyn almost dead on the battlefield. Here it is one of the rare effective moments of Big No.
      • Yet another is Legolas in the final battle when Aragorn's about to be killed by a troll. It's definitely in the extended cut and the trailers at least.
    • Continues in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, with Thorin Oakenshield letting one rip on seeing his grandfather decapitated by Azog. Since this happens during the film's prologue, there's little point in hiding the previous sentence behind a spoiler. (Compare with the entry immediately following.)
      • Heck even Balin gets one during the climax when Thorin is at Azog's mercy. So yeah, the pale orc was responsible for both incidents.
  • Lust in the Dust, after Abel Wood kills Bernardo's henchmen.
    Marguerita: Accident?
    Abel: They moved.
    Bernardo: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
    Marguerita: Shut up, Bernardo.
  • Man of Steel:
    • Near the end of the movie, when Clark is forced to kill Zod with his bare hands. The Great Hall of Union Station gives it a nice echo.
    • Zod lets one out when he sees that the ship containing Kal-El has been launched.
  • Marvel Cinematic Universe:
    • In Thor, Thor has one when Loki lets go of Odin's spear, Gungnir, and falls into the abyss below the broken Bifrost. Odin has a Little "No" to underscore this moment.
    • In The Avengers, Thor shouts this when Loki mortally wounds Agent Coulson aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
    • In Iron Man 3, Killian performs this when Tony uses the Mark 42 armor to trap him and blow him up. The armor's faceplate cuts off the Big No when it covers Killian's face. He performs it again just before an Extremis-enhanced Pepper detonates a missile in his face.
    • In Thor: The Dark World, Thor gets three Big Nos when Frigga is killed, when Kurse stabs Loki, and when Loki apparently dies in his arms. He really does this trope a lot, being Shakespeareesque and all.
    • In Avengers: Age of Ultron Scarlet Witch does this when Quicksilver is shot by Ultron.
    • Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2:
      • Star-Lord yells several grief-stricken "NO!"s when watching his father figure Yondu die in the vacuum of space after saving him from the planet Ego's destruction.
      • Just before that, Ego's humanoid body screams a despair-filled "NO!" to Peter as a bomb planted in his planetary body's core explodes, causing the former to disintegrate into ash.
    • Done again by Peter in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, tearfully screaming "NO!" twice in a row during Rocket's Disney Death.

    • Scarlet Witch does this again in Avengers: Infinity War as Thanos brings Vision back to life, only to kill him again by ripping the Mind Stone out of him. It's also the last thing she says before she dies along with half the universe. Thor also has three more, namely when Thanos kills first Heimdall and then Loki while Thor is Forced to Watch, and when Thanos snaps his fingers, killing half the universe.
    • A variation in Spider-Man: No Way Home: though the sound is drowned out by tense, ambient noise, Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man shouts this when Green Goblin stops the main universe's Spidey from saving MJ, who is currently falling to her death - a situation that universe's Peter is all too familiar with.
  • In The Matrix, Agent Smith gives a brief one after Neo dives into his body and before he explodes.
  • Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders features a truly glorious NOOOOOOOOO!", complete with slow-motion running towards the camera.

  • Kei does this at the end of Moon Child, when Sho is dying in his arms.
  • When Art Lean is killed by Goro in Mortal Kombat: The Movie, the Big No is screamed by Sonya immediately upon his death, and then issued by Johnny Cage when Shang Tsung proceeds to consume the guy's soul.
  • The Mummy (1999): As Evelyn reads from the Book of the Dead, the sleeping Dr. Chamberlain suddenly jolts awake and shouts, "NOOOO! YOU MUST NOT READ FROM THE BOOK!" Too late — she's already unwittingly awakened Imhotep.
  • The Mummy Returns:
    • Imhotep, the titular returning mummy, actually slides on his knees into the frame to deliver one (in ancient Egyptian) when the other Big Bad for the film is defeated. To compound it all, he was kinda late, sliding into frame about a second and a half after the stabbing. So blatant, it has to be some self-aware parody.
    • Rick O'Connell delivers a much more believable one earlier in the film when Evy gets stabbed.
    • so does Evelyn when it looks like Rick is going to fall into a bottomless pit after stabbing the Scorpion King.
  • During the scene in The Muppet Movie, When Kermit was in the construction area, Max warned Kermit to watch out for bulldozers that crushed his bicycle.
    Max: HEY, YOU ON THE BIKE! WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT FOR THAT...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
    * Sees the bicycle get crushed and Kermit jumps to the bulldozers!*
    Kermit the Frog: That's certainly dangerous building a road in the middle of the street!
  • In the beginning of Muppets from Space, Gonzo does this when he's excluded from Noah's Ark because he's the only one of his kind. Combines this with a Skyward Scream as the Great Flood begins.
    Gonzo: Nooo! Noooo! I don't want to be alone! Nooo!
  • In Need for Speed, Tobey Marshall does one in response to Pete's death.

  • Pruniprismia, Miraz's wife in the 2008 movie Prince Caspian, does this in the scuffle in her bedroom after shooting Caspian in the shoulder with a crossbow.
  • The Abbé Coulmier in Quills achieves a massive Big No, bordering perhaps on Huge status, upon the Marquis de Sade's suicide. The Abbé's No is so big that it in fact incites a chorus of Big Nos from the asylum's inmates, which echoes off the mildewed walls and bathes the watcher in the uncensored vocal epitaph of the Abbé's bitter moral defeat.
  • Raiders of the Lost Ark. While the Nazis are sliding the stone block to seal off the Well of Souls (with Indy and Marion inside), Marion yells "Noooo!" The sound is abruptly cut off when the block slides into place.
  • In the 2007 B-Movie Redline, Carlo does one of these when Jason is killed in the event of a race gone wrong.
  • The movie Ricochet has several Big No's from Earl Talbot Blake (Played by John Lithgow) when Nick Styles (Played by Denzel Washington) goes crazy.
  • Caesar gives a big one in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which also counts as a Wham Line. Why? It's his first word.
    • Also because he's a chimpanzee.
    • It also doubles as a Call-Back to the original franchise's Big "NO!" with another Caesar symbolically protesting human abuse of apes, deliberately put after a well-recognized but more comedic Mythology Gag for the added impact.
    • Koba, in the sequel, let's out one as he plunges to his death.
  • Mike Sullivan does so in Road to Perdition when he returns home and goes upstairs to find his wife and son murdered.
  • Bray in Robot Holocaust lets one out when Haim is killed by the mutants.
  • Rocky
    • A Big No occurs from Duke (Apollo's trainer) in Rocky III, in which, near the end of the rematch, Balboa is making Clubber Lang angry enough to KO him.
    • There's another Big No from Duke (in slow motion) in Rocky IV after Apollo Creed was KO'ed (killed) by Ivan Drago in an exhibition match.
  • Said by Dr. Frank N Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show as he flees from a laser-wielding Riff Raff.

  • Scanners: Cameron loudly rejects Revok's offer to build an empire together with a Big "No!" after Revok has murdered so many scanners, punctuated by hitting him in the face with a desk ornament.
  • Parodied in the endings of Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2. In the former, as the Final Girl screams, she is run over by a car. In the latter, the Final Girl meets the psycho again. She does the Big No, he does a Big Yes... and gets run over by a car.

  • Shaun of the Dead, when Shaun sees Ed getting mauled by zombies.
  • Shutter Island features one from the protagonist in a flashback near the end of the film, complete with overhead camera shot.
  • Done hilariously in Silent Movie. Mel Funn, making the first silent movie in forty years, has the brainstorm of inviting reknowned mime Marcel Marceau. Calling France, he asks Marcel if he would to star in the picture. Marcel's response is the only audible line in the entire film; "NON!" When Mel Brooks called Marcel Marceau to ask him to say the line, he originally pitched it as just "NO!" Marceau replied that he would only do it if it was "NON!" instead. Why? Because it would make more sense for him to say it in French. As it happened, it inspired a great follow-up gag where the caller admitted he didn't understand Marceau because he doesn't speak French, despite the fact that "No" and "Non" sound practically the same.
  • Horror movie Skinned Deep has an example, with the Final Girl screaming "NOOOOOOOO!" repeatedly throughout the entire end credits.
  • Potentially one of the more ridiculous examples occurs in the horrible Sleep Stalker, where the goatee-sporting lead character utters one with an ape-like inflection as he does it. It's worth seeing.
  • Soapdish. Montana Moorehead's reaction to her high school yearbook showing that she was once Milton Moorehead, of Syosset, NJ.
  • Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) has Tails let one out after Robotnik's giant Death Egg Robot seemingly steps on Sonic. Luckily for Tails, the Chaos Emeralds had managed to turn Sonic into Super Sonic just in time.

  • Spaceballs. Princess Vespa, when she's threatened with being given her old ugly nose back.
    • Turns into a Funny Moment when she adds "Where did you get that picture?"
  • One comes from Howard Payne when he finds out he was tricked by the relooping security camera set up by Jack Traven in the movie Speed.
  • Spider-Man Trilogy:
    • Yelled by Otto Octavius in Spider-Man 2 when he wakes up and finds that his tentacles — which have a mind of their own — killed all of the doctors who were about to operate on him while he was unconscious. Even better, the tentacles scream with him. He gives another one at the end, but it's a moving utterance of his determination not to die a monster.
    • And later, Peter's reaction when a wall is about to flatten Mary Jane. Although, the sound he makes is more like a big "NAAAA-AAAUUUGH!!!"
    • The third movie has it when Eddie Brock sees Spider-Man is throwing a bomb at the Venom symbiote.
  • In The Star Chamber, Dr. Lewin quietly says a few Little "No"'s when Hardin dismisses the charges against Monk and Cooms, then yells "Goddammit, NOOOOO! NOOOOO!" when he pulls out the gun and tries to shoot them.
  • Some of the Star Trek movies use the Big No at least once:
    • Star Trek: The Motion Picture: Decker gives a Big No as Captain Kirk gives the order to Chekov to fire phasers at the asteroid when the Enterprise is trapped in the wormhole. This one only sounds like a "Big No", but was really elongated by the time-warping effect of the wormhole.
    • Notably averted in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan at the very end of the scene where Spock dies. Shatner, well known for being a Large Ham (and having shouted another, now-iconic word at the top of his lungs earlier in the same film), reacts with nothing more than a meek and subdued "no" - perfectly jarring for that character moment.
    • Star Trek: First Contact: Captain Picard yells a Big No and smashes the glass cabinet with the models of the past Enterprises with a phaser rifle after Lily tells him to self-destruct the Enterprise after the ship is assimilated by the Borg. Lily makes it effective by a subdued reaction that contrasts his scream.
      Lily: (quietly) You broke your little ships. See you around, Ahab.
    • Star Trek: Insurrection: Ru'afo shrieks it when the Starfleet Admiral tells him to have a private discussion with Picard. Ru'afo wails it again when Picard threatens to ignite the fumes on the collector.
      • Doesn't he also do it when he realises he's trapped in a holodesk simulation?
    • Star Trek: Nemesis: Counsellor Troi has this when Shinzon invades her mind, the Reman Viceroy yells it when he falls to his death after being kicked by Will.
    • Star Trek Into Darkness gives us a Big No from villain Harrison when torpedoes explode in the lower decks of the starship he's controlling, horribly crippling his ship, and leading him to believe that his entire crew, whom he thought were in the torpedoes were dead.
  • Star Wars is particularly famous for this. All the movies use the Big No at least once:
    • A New Hope: Luke gives a Big No when Darth Vader kills Obi-Wan, although it's not drawn out. Parodied in Thumb Wars.
    • The Empire Strikes Back: Luke responds to Luke, I Am Your Father in a fairly predictable way.
    • Return of the Jedi: A robot screams as his feet are ripped by another machine.
      • Averted with Luke's "NEVER!!" right before attacking Vader, when he realizes that Leia is his sister, and could potentially be powerful in the dark side of the Force, or something else terrible would happen to her depending on what Vader would have said if Luke hadn't cut his sentence short then.
    • The Phantom Menace: Echoing Luke in A New Hope, Obi-Wan does a Big "NO!" when Darth Maul kills Qui-Gon.
    • Attack of the Clones: Obi-Wan again, when Anakin charges recklessly in to fight Dooku. Also, Yoda hears a Big "NO!" from Qui-Gon's ethereal voice as Anakin slaughters the Tusken Raiders.
    • Revenge of the Sith: Bail Organa belts one out when he notices a squadron of Clones fatally shoot Padawan Zett Jukassa at the Jedi Temple when Bail finds out that it is burning.
      • Later in the film, Anakin/Vader, upon discovering that Padmé is dead.
    • The Force Awakens: Continuing the tradition with style, the first film of the Sequel Trilogy features several:
      • Rey's force vision features her younger self wailing at whoever dumped her on Jakku. Indeed, it's a faint precursor of young Rey's big no that drew Rey into Maz's basement to begin with.
      • Finn's progressive "no!"s after witnessing Kylo Ren abducting a knocked-out Rey
      • Both Rey and the more primal, anguished roar of Chewbacca witnessing Han Solo murdered by Kylo Ren, his own son.
    • The Last Jedi: Kylo Ren lets out a pretty good one when Luke's Astral Projection disappears, and he's left alone with the realization that Luke was only stalling for the remaining Resistance members to escape.
      • Rose also has one after the Supremacy begins to destroy the escaping Resistance ships.
    • The Rise of Skywalker has several:
      • Finn lets one out after a transport that carried Chewbacca was destroyed by Force lightning shot by Rey. Thankfully Chewie was actually not on the transport.
      • Poe after Snap Wexley is killed in the final battle.
      • Rey on two occasions. The first is a rage to Kylo Ren for crushing the Sith Wayfinder Rey retrieved on the remains of the Death Star. The second is when she shoves Finn back during her duel on Kef Bir with Ren.
    • And parodied in Reign of Fire when the protagonists are acting out Star Wars as a play.
      The Black Knight stares through the holes in his mask, and says; "I [breathes heavily] am your father!"
      White Knight: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!
      Watching kids: YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!
  • In Superman, Superman lets out a few quiet little nos, followed by a big scream of anguish, when Lois Lane dies in the earthquake. Toy Fare magazine's Geek 100 rated this #6, as "the most agonized scream ever recorded on film."
  • In Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street there is a Big No issued by the title character after he is informed of his wife's rape. Rather effective due to it blending in with his wife's screams at the end of the musical number/flashback, "Poor Thing".
    • There's also Johanna's terrified "NO!" when Beadle Bamford grabs her to drag her off for transport to Fogg's Asylum on Judge Turpin's orders.
  • In Team America: World Police, Lisa lets out a Big No after her boyfriend and Team America teammate Carson is fatally shot by a terrorist at the end of the opening sequence… and just when he proposed to her, too.
  • Terminator 2: Judgment Day had the best Big No ever, when Sarah Connor sees the good Terminator walk out of the elevator. Not knowing he's good, Sarah falls down, but first has a look of disbelief on her face. Then as she runs the other way, her screams build up in volume until she finally lets out her Big No.
  • Tombstone: Kurt Russell's Big No is so Narmy it has to be seen to be believed. It comes with a cluster of Little Nos too.
    • According to witnesses, this actually happened, and this example is more out of defiance than anguish or despair. It's not "No, you killed my [insert relative/acquaintance]!" it's "No, you bastards ain't killing me!"
  • In The Transporter 3, Big Bad Johnson screams out "NO!" constantly after Frank attaches the bomb bracelet onto him and sends his car out of the train, leaving the trigger condition to be fulfilled and blows up Johnson as a result.
  • In Tropic Thunder Tugg Speedman lets out one of these after killing a panda in self defense, and it's hilarious.

  • Yelled by Brayker just before Roach shoots at his possessed boss and ends up destroying a barrier keeping the demons out in Demon Knight.

  • In The Wicker Man (1973), this, along with a Big "OMG!", is Sgt. Howie's first reaction to seeing the titular edifice. The camera-work, buildup, and above all, Edward Woodward's believable delivery of the line removed any potential narm.
  • Wild in the Streets: When the voting age is lowered to 14, an LSD-addled Fergus yells "NOOOOO!" over and over again.
  • Wonder Woman (2017): Diana and other Amazons scream "NO!" when Antiope dies.
