You Killed My Father Your Ass Is Mine launched as You Killed My Father: From YKTTW
Working Title: You Killed My Father Your Ass Is Mine: From YKTTW
Man Without Abody: What is the caption under the picture of Inigo? I don't get it.
- See the Princess Bride bit in [1]
Rogue 7: Would Gladiator count? Largely because I find this quote to be completely awesome- "My name is Maximus [draws a blank] Meridius. Soldier of Rome, General of the Felix Legions. Commander of the Armies of the North. Servant to the true Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Husband to a murdered wife, father to a murdered son. And I will have my vengeance. In this world, or the next."
Geese: Three words: hell fucking yes. =D On both counts. Decimus, by the way.
fleb: It's so long, my eyes glaze over and refuse to read the Wall of Text:
Inigo Montoya: He was a great swordmaker, my father. When the six-fingered man appeared and requested a special sword, my father took the job. He slaved a year before it was done.
[Shows the Man in Black the sword]
Inigo Montoya: The six-fingered man returned and demanded it, but at one tenth his promised price. My father refused. Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart. I loved my father. So naturally, I challenged his murderer to a duel. I failed. The six-fingered man left me alive, but he gave me these.
[strokes the scars on his cheeks]
Man in Black: How old were you?
Inigo Montoya: I was eleven years old. And when I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, "Hello.
My Name Is Inigo Montoya.
You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Vampire Buddha: Cut
natter and crap for great justice.
What I cut
- Except not really, because in recent issues by Grant Morrison, it was revealed that following their initial meeting, Chill became a wealthy businessman obsessed with the divide between classes in Gotham. After the establishment of his presence in Gotham, the Batman begins to visit Chill every night for a month, until the final night, wherein he delivers the gun that Chill used to kill the Wayne parents with. Chill realises, upon Batman leaving, that he is responsible for the creation of Batman; it is implied that, fearing that he will be discovered, he shot himself with the gun. However, Chill may still live, as the narrative merely showed us a grim-faced Batman listening to the single gunshot.
- In the 1989 Tim Burton film, it was upgraded to none other than The Joker, several years before he became Joker. Batman actually says to the Joker, "I'm going to kill you," and then moments later, "You killed my parents." Can't get more blatant than that. Needless to say, Joker does not survive the movie.
- Batman Begins starts by painting Joe Chill as a sympathetic, pathetic figure who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne parents near by accident. Bruce tries to take revenge anyway, but to his horror, is beaten to the punch by a mob hitman. This realization of how far he has fallen in the pursuit of vengeance instead of justice is instrumental in forging him into the man he turns out to be.
- Probably pretty typical of the scattered continuity of comic books, but in various incarnations, Joe Chill has been gunned down by his henchmen when they find he's the reason Batman is after them, gunned down by a more vicious vigilante after having been working with Batman on orders of the Mafia, and proven in Zero Hour to not have been the person who killed them after all. Suffice to say that Batman's managed to work out his frustrations over Joe Chill on many levels.
- Indeed he seems to have quite a bit of professional respect for the Jedi. Justified, as it's part of his culture. ("Whoa, you can kill us. Awesome!")
- Well, Boba does seek revenge, and comes close to getting it at one point...but it was specifically towards Mace, who got a rather different death.
- Subverted by Oedipus Rex, who killed his father himself, though he did not recognize him until it was too late. And then he went on to marry the queen, who turns out to be his mom. Talk about Freudian...
- Speaking of Freudian, Oedipus Rex is where Freud got the term "Oedipus Complex"
- It's then subverted when Fox lets Andross go into the Black Hole. Though he's always had the reputation for always having to have the last shot, he knows that the pod will not go far in the Black Hole, and that's exactly where his father will find him, and as Fox puts it, "he deserves the last shot after all these years."
- In a less straightforward example, Fox's father and Peppy were betrayed by their third teammate, Pigma Dengar, who goes on to become a member of Star Wolf. Peppy and Fox both, understandably, have an ax to grind with him.
- The best part about that? It's Raul Julia. He was a Large Ham who was so inexplicably Bad Ass that only cancer could take him out.
- Amusingly enough, the one who kills him in Street Fighter II happens to be the one who wouldn't even CARE about Bison even the slightest — Akuma. Though Bison does actually make a comeback in Street Fighter IV, that's a prequel to III, which he DIDN'T appear in, so we can assume he's automatically screwed, regardless of if Akuma comes back to finish the job or not.
- Of course, there's also Dan who wants revenge on Sagat for the same reason in his first game appearance. Sagat, however, throws the fight so Dan won't follow his path of rage and vengeance.
- In the College Humor parody Street Fighter: The Later Years, Bison tries (badly) to justify his actions by claiming that "It's just what I do. I killed half your fathers. I just put your eye out on the way here," indicating Dhalsim, who is sporting a new eyepatch.
- However, the trope is subverted when during Ken and Shinjiro's confrontation, Takaya from Strega shows up; Shinjiro ends up Taking the Bullet for Ken instead, dying after the rest of the team has showed up and chased Takaya off.
- Subverted by Tales Of Symphonia where, after we learn that the Quirky Miniboss Squad member Kvar was directly responsible for the death of Lloyd's mother by forcing his father to kill her, he is instead stabbed to death by Kratos. Double subverted once we learn that Kratos is Lloyd's father, and thus had a higher rating on the hierarchy of 'giving this villain his Karmic Death'.
LE Xicon 712: How about we do a
"You Killed My X" game, where a character says the Inigo Monotoya quote, but his way:
Examples:
- Hello. My name is Ichigo Kurosaki. You killed my mother. Prepare to die. *BAN-KAI!*
