I can't help but be reminded of Better Than It Sounds whenever I go into this thread.

Far too many of these are just actual plot summaries. Come on guys. Leave out crucial details. Justify the villain. Think past the credits screen. Screw it up badly.

Her desperate bid at a second life is again quashed by animals, who murder her sisters and a totally innocent loving husband and wife along the way. They play hacky-sack with her severed head.

A magic-using monster nonetheless becomes a representative of the downtrodden and much-abused, and becomes a leader of the innumerable other disenfranchised species that populate the world. His attempts to guarantee equality for his subjects are met with failure as the bourgeoisie continue to abuse and ignore his subjects, enforcing racial segregation. Despite many public relations stunts such as competing in freindly sporting events with the ruling class, he still finds his attempts at legitimizing his rule met with failure at the hands of foreign mercenaries.
