History Main / YouHaveNoChanceToSurvive

** The page quote, in response to an unusual turnabout given by Luke.

** Interestingly, that page quote is actually Palpatine talking about the Rebels, not about Luke himself. It's only after Luke refuses to join the Dark Side that Palpatine repeats the trope on Luke specifically. And he would have been right if it hadn't been for [[YouMeddlingKids Vader's]] HeelFaceTurn.
--->''"So be it, Jedi. If you will not be turned, you will be ... [[AgonyBeam destroyed]]!"\\
"And now, young Skywalker ... you will die."''

** In ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'', [[TheChessmaster the Architect]] pulls the "We won't" (meet again) line on Neo after he chooses Door #2 (the door that "[[ScrewDestiny leads inexorably]] to the extinction of every last human being on the Planet").

This would be a StockPhrase... although very few villains end up saying this the same way twice. The classic villain threat has several variations, some of which are:

->"YourDaysAreNumbered!" (when used as an expression)
->"I'm afraid {{we|WillMeetAgain}} '''''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 / on my throne / etc)!"
->"Take time to collect your thoughts, for soon you will be dead!"
->"Treasure what little time remains of your lives!" [[note]]A more accurate translation of ''VideoGame/ZeroWing''[='=]s [[BlindIdiotTranslation Engrish-y]] trope naming quote[[/note]]
->"Say your last goodbyes!"
->"Make peace with your gods, for you will soon meet them!"

--> Your flesh is a relic, a mere vessel. Hand over your flesh, and a new world awaits you--We demand it.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin'', before throwing a boulder attempting to crush Hubie, Drake shouts "SAY YOUR PRAYERS!" [[spoiler:Hubie and company live, but Drake is HoistByHisOwnPetard when the crash [[CollapsingLair brings the cave down around him]]]].

--->'''Tony Stark''': You're missing the point, ''there's no throne''. There is ''no'' version of this where you come out on top. Look, ''maybe'' you open the portal, and ''maybe'' your army is too much for us, but it doesn't matter, because it's ''all'' on you. Because if we can't save the Earth, [[TakingYouWithMe you can be damn sure we'll avenge it]].

* ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'':
-->'''Film/JamesBond:''' Do you expect me to talk?\\
'''Goldfinger:''' No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to '''die!'''
* ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]. The Wicked Witch hands Dorothy a [[DeathsHourglass large hourglass]] and tells her this is how much time she has left to live. Exactly what it will do is unclear, but apparently simply killing Dorothy will hurt the power of the ruby slippers and the hourglass will do it more delicately.
** Parodied/referenced in ''Film/{{Flash Gordon|1980}}'': [-"You have until the sands... '''run up."'''-]
* ''[[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Star Wars]]'':

---> "So be it, Jedi. If you will not be turned, you will be ... [[AgonyBeam destroyed]]!"\\
"And now, young Skywalker ... you will die."
* ''Film/BladeRunner'': Tyrell's immortal "revel in your time" line may be this trope.
* ''Franchise/TheMatrix'': Agent Smith does this repeatedly, sometimes as a form of TrashTalk.
-->'''Smith:''' Do you hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability.
-->'''Smith:''' Evolution, Morpheus. Like the dinosaur.
-->'''Smith:''' You can't win, it's pointless to keep fighting! Why, Mr. Anderson, why, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood why do you persist]]?!
* ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'': [[TheChessmaster The Architect]] pulls the "We won't" (meet again) line on Neo after he chooses Door #2.\\
[-(The door that "[[ScrewDestiny Leads Inexorably]] To The Extinction Of Every Last Human Being on the Planet".)-]
* ''Film/ThreeHundred'': [[OlderThanTheyThink Straight from]] Creator/{{Herodotus}}:
-->'''Herald:''' By noon this day, you will be '''dead men.''' The thousand nations of the Persian Empire descend upon you! Our arrows... will ''blot out the sun!''\\
'''Stelios:''' [[BadassBoast Then we will fight in the shade]].
* In ''Film/{{Alien}}'', Ash's last words before being incinerated are "I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies." At this point, he’s shifted from villainous to almost coldly sympathetic.
* In ''Film/MidnightRun'', Jimmy Serrano to The Duke:
--> "Did you actually think you could steal my money and get away with it? I stopped by here to tell you two things. Number one is that you're gonna die tonight. Number two: I'm gonna go home, have a nice hot meal, I'm gonna find your wife, and I'm gonna kill her too." (Slaps The Duke across the face)

-->'''Red Queen''': You're ''all'' going to die down here.
* ''Film/TheRunningMan''
--> '''Ben Richards''': [[CatchPhrase I'll be back]], Killian.\\
'''Damon Killian''': Only in a rerun.
* ''Film/{{Greyhound}}''. The U-boat called ''Grey Wolf'' keeps radioing ''Greyhound'' and the other ships to gloat about how he and the Wolfpack are going to sink them all, even making wolf howls. Captain Krause orders a frequency change each time to get him off the air.

[[folder: Literature ]]

* Literature/ArtemisFowl has this when [[spoiler: Opal captures Holly and Root, then ties an explosive to Root, giving him at most a minute to live]].
** [[spoiler: This time the evil plan actually works. Root blows up.]]
* In the Literature/LeftBehind book ''Desecration'', when Buck Williams and Chaim Rosenzweig (as Chaim the prophet) are about to leave the Knesset after Nicolae Carpathia negotiates with them for a lifting of the plague of sores from the First Bowl Judgment, Carpathia threatens them with "Your days are numbered". In the Dramatic Audio version, Buck's retort to Nicolae, "As are yours, 'my friend'," is a warning that [[PropheciesAreAlwaysRight what God's Word says about him will come to pass]].
* Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/NightShift'': In "Children of the Corn," a red-haired Child holding a knife on Burt says, "Remand your soul to God, for you will stand before His throne momentarily."
* In ''Snakehead'', the seventh ''Literature/AlexRider'' book, when Alex arrives at the Snakehead's [[spoiler:center for organ harvesting]], Dr. Tanner gives a lengthy speech in this vein: they have enough defenses in place to prevent escape, and even if he got out, the jungle is a death trap and they have no boats for the river. [[SayingTooMuch It gives Alex all the information he needs to break out two days later]].

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* During an episode of ''Series/StargateSG1'', O'Neill is told that one of the Goa'uld system lords has declared that SG-1's days are numbered. O'Neill responds that's perfectly fine. [[DeadpanSnarker So long as it's a large number]].
** Anubis also invoked this in a speech when he was using a weapon to try to destroy the Earth's Stargate.
* The Gunslinger in ''Series/DoctorWho'' gives his waiting victims time to "Pray to [their] Gods".
* The standard greeting of the Borg in ''Franchise/StarTrek'' serves as one of these, except from the perspective of the Borg, it's not so much a taunt as ''a statement of fact.''

[[folder: Music ]]
* Mother Maiden of ''TheUnforgiving'' delivers an awesome one of these during the Music/WithinTemptation song, "Iron."

[[folder: Theatre ]]
* ''Theatre/LesMiserables'': During the climatic number, a solider tries to talk the rebels out of trying to fight. It doesn’t work, and the rebels are massacred by the milita.
-->''You at the barricade listen to this! No one is coming to help you fight, you're on your own, you have no friends, Give up your guns OR DIE! You at the barricade listen to this! The people of Paris sleep in their beds! You have NO CHANCE, NO CHANCE AT ALL! [[WhatASenselessWasteOfHumanLife Why throw your lives away?]]''
** Given the context, the delivery and direction can change the implications of this speech -- in the 2012 movie adaptation of the musical, where the speaker appears on-camera, he seems to genuinely be pleading with them and wishing to let them live.

[[folder: Theme Parks ]]

* ''VideoGame/ZeroWing'' is but one particularly [[FountainOfMemes well known]] example:
-->'''CATS:''' How are you gentlemen'''''!!'''''\\
'''CATS:''' AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs.\\
'''CATS:''' [[TropeNamers You are on the way to destruction.]]\\
'''Captain:''' [[BigWhat What you say]]'''''!!'''''\\
'''CATS:''' [[TropeNamers You have no chance to survive make your time.]]\\
'''CATS:''' [[EvilLaugh Ha ha ha ha]]'''''....'''''
* The ''Zero Wing'' line was said word-for-word in the tie-in video game for ''Film/SpiderMan2'' by Mysterio as a direct ShoutOut.
* One of voicesets for ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' can have the ''PC'' shout out, "You will ''not'' survive!"
* Many, many bosses in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. C'thun is most notable, as he spends the entire time you are inside his lair (Temple of Ahn'Qiraj) taunting you with this, before you even get to him.
--> '''C'thun:''' YouAreAlreadyDead.
* The Reapers from ''Franchise/MassEffect'' love doing that:
--> '''Sovereign:''' [[AC:We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it. ]]
--> '''Harbinger:''' [[AC:Human, you've changed nothing. Your species has attracted the attention of those infinitely your greater; that which you know as "Reapers" are your salvation through destruction.]]
--> '''Reaper:''' [[AC: Every organic civilization must be harvested in order to bring order to the chaos. It is inevitable.]]
** Turns out that [[spoiler: the Catalyst who created the Reapers is fond of this. He claims that if Shepard chooses Destroy, which will wipe out all synthetic life in the Galaxy, because their body relies on cybernetic implants to survive, Shepard will die alongside the Reapers. Shepard can respond by blasting the crap out of the Power Conduit ''anyway'', with a look on their face that clearly says they are intent on TakingYouWithMe. With a high enough EMS score, Shepard is seen taking a breath in the rubble, implying that they ''did'' manage to survive after all]].
* Kefka in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''. "Such magnificent power! You are [[PitifulWorms like insects]] to me!"
* Sylvia in the first ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' does this by phone (Wiimote speaker, it's ''awesome'') before every boss battle. She's supposed to be your ''ally''.
--> "Give it your best shot! I am 100% certain you're returning from this battle, Travis. ...In a body bag."
-->"I'm sorry to say this, but I'm 1800% positive that you will die here. [[OncePerEpisode But trust your Force... And head for the Garden of Madness.]]"
-->"I am 3,602,600,218% certain you will die. [[RunningGag But trust your Force... And head for the Garden of Madness.]]"

-->"My calculations say the chances of you winning are...0%."
* ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'': [[spoiler:Wheatley:]] Take one last look at [[spoiler:your precious human moon]], [[TemptingFate 'cause it cannot help you now]]!
* In ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'', Trypticon's last words to the Autobots are: "You haven't defeated me Autobots!" Optimus promptly uses his axe to knock him into a pool of energon. As the next game would show, Trypticon's body would not recover and would be permanently converted into the [[CoolSpaceship Nemesis]].

-->'''[[TheFatalist Sabata:]]''' Our opponent is Dark, the Will of the Galaxy Universe, the origin of all life. Of course... Right from the start, I knew we didn't stand a chance. All the starts, all life... Everything is enveloped with eternal death. People die... But me... I don't care about all that. It's all about how I live. Resisting and fighting to the end. That's what it means to me... to live!

--> '''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil Wesker]]''': "You will not survive!"
* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'': The plot is kicked off by Scarecrow hijacking Gotham's PA system and threatening to release his newest fear toxin, causing nearly the entire city to evacuate. Scarecrow then spends the entire game regularly announcing how horribly Batman and everyone he cares about is going to suffer.
* The description for the [[HarderThanHard Veteran difficulty]] setting in the ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' games from ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDuty4ModernWarfare 4: Modern Warfare]]'' and onward is "You will not survive."

[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'': At least once, Dr. Drakken says "Farewell, Kim Possible! We won't meet again!" as he [[BondVillainStupidity leaves her]] in a DeathTrap.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' Trigon tells Raven there's nothing she can do to stop him from killing everyone in the world. YouCantFightFate is kinda Trigon's schtick.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'': "Hey! Wait! You cannot escape! [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Never run away from the]] TimePolice, ''you will not survive!''"
* In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE25TheClockKing "The Clock King"]]:

-->'''Shendu''': Centuries of history altered, your very memory erased, and ''still'' somehow you defy me! I shall find you, Chan. And I promise you, I shall erase ''more'' than your memory!

* In ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'', Trypticon's last words to the Autobots are: "You haven't defeated me Autobots!" Optimus promptly uses his {{a|nAxeToGrind}}xe to knock him into a pool of energon. As the next game would show, Trypticon's body would not recover and would be permanently converted into the [[CoolSpaceship Nemesis]].

* ''Film/ResidentEvil'': Just before the protagonists shut down the Red Queen (which disables the Hive's lockdown and lets the zombified staff loose), the A.I. bluntly tells them this:

* When you confront Bruno Tattaglia in the basement of Tito Morelli's mortuary in ''VideoGame/TheGodfatherTheGame'', he will boast, "You got no chance. You're a dead man, my friend." If the source material's anything to go by, you prove him wrong by throwing him into one of the two ovens in the basement.

* In ''Snakehead'', the seventh ''Literature/Alex Rider'' book, when Alex arrives at the Snakehead's [[spoiler:center for organ harvesting]], Dr. Tanner gives a lengthy speech in this vein: they have enough defenses in place to prevent escape, and even if he got out, the jungle is a death trap and they have no boats for the river. [[SayingTooMuch It gives Alex all the information he needs to break out two days later]].
