Line #37 PlayingWith/ShutUpKirk


1	'''Basic Trope''': Villain brushes aside the hero's speech about evil.
2	* '''Straight''':
3	-->'''[[TheHero Bob]]''': [[LukeYouAreMyFather Dear father]], why are you making life miserable for the people? You plunge the whole world into war just to ensure there is a strong ruler that will end war once and for all. Is violence the only answer to the world's problems?\
4	'''[[BigBad Emperor Evulz]]''': So why are you pointing that impudent sword at me, son?
5	* '''Exaggerated''':
6	-->'''[[NatureHero Alice]]''': Spreading TheVirus across the planet to kill nine-tenths of humanity won't help save the planet from ecological disaster! Humans are part of nature, too! And if we all work together, we can still stop the pollution, and...\
7	'''[[CorruptCorporateExecutive President Evulz]]''': What are you talking about? I was just going to spread the virus so that my Evil Incorporated would be able to sell the vaccine — and name our own price! [[StrawHypocrite That whole "save the planet" line was just something I fed those silly]] [[AnimalWrongsGroup eco-terrorists]] so they'd work for me for free! Those idiots!\
8	'''Alice''': [[YouMONSTER Why... you... you... ABOMINATION]]!
9	* '''Downplayed''':
10	** A naughty child dismisses his parents' chiding.
11	--->'''[[StandardFiftiesFather Johnny]]''': So you ate half the cake in one sitting, not considering either your own short- or long-term health or the fact that it was your sister's birthday cake. You have made people unhappy. How does that knowledge make you feel?\
12	'''[[SpoiledBrat Danny]]''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I like white cake.]]
13	** The villain doesn't point out hypocrisy, merely his own lack of sympathy for his victims.
14	--->'''[[TheHero Bob]]''': Why are you making life miserable for the people? Do you enjoy seeing others suffer, trembling, cowering, and silently cursing you wherever you go?\
15	'''[[BigBad Emperor Evulz]]''': [[BluntYes Yes]].
16	* '''Justified''':
17	** Emperor Evulz is that megalomaniacal, he doesn't even believe that young and inexperienced people like Bob or Alice can have valid reasoning.
18	** Emperor Evulz is just that evil and/or selfish that he disregards Bob's or Alice's words for his own agenda.
19	** Emperor Evulz is a KnightTemplar or sees himself as a NecessaryEvil.
20	** Emperor Evulz has BlueAndOrangeMorality to humans. So he found Bob and Alice's reason to be irrelevant to his 'evil' act.
21	** Bob may be in the right, but this particular speech really doesn't make a lot of sense.
22	** Emperor Evulz maybe a villain, but Bob himself has done reprehensible things, so his heroism is tinged with hypocrisy.
23	** The setting runs on GrayAndGrayMorality. Bob is an AntiHero and Evulz is an AntiVillain, so BothSidesHaveAPoint.
24	** Evulz sees through the [[CondescendingCompassion insincerity]] of Bob's attempts to talk him down and calls him out on it.
25	** Emperor Evulz tells Bob to get the usual 'destiny and honor' speech out of his system. Bob just [[TalkToTheFist punches him]].
26	* '''Inverted''': ShutUpHannibal
27	* '''Subverted''':
28	-->'''[[TheHero Bob]]''': [[LukeIAmYourFather Dear father]], why are you making life miserable for the people? You plunge the whole world into war just to ensure there is a strong ruler that will end war once and for all. Is violence the only answer to the world's problems?\
29	'''[[BigBad Emperor Evulz]]''': So why are you pointing that impudent sword at me, son? ...But enough of this nonsense. I see you've gathered friends from across the world. You've done something that I will never be able to do; you've gained ThePowerOfFriendship. [[RousseauWasRight You are right, people are fundamentally moral]]. My time in this world is over." drinks cyanide
30	** Evilz blows off the argument at first, but after the battle is over and he spends some time thinking it over, he seriously reconsiders.
31	* '''Double Subverted''':
32	-->'''[[TheHero Bob]]''': [[LukeIAmYourFather Dear father]], why are you making life miserable for the people? You plunge the whole world into war just to ensure there is a strong ruler that will end war once and for all. Is violence the only answer to the world's problems?\
33	'''[[BigBad Emperor Evulz]]''': So why are you pointing that impudent sword at me, son? ...But enough of this nonsense. I see you've gathered friends from across the world. Do you think it will do you any good in the long run? [[AndThenWhat What will you and your so-called "friends" do]] [[EnemyMine when your common enemy is gone]]? Turn on each other like starving rats, plunging the world into chaos once again? Or will you [[NotSoDifferentRemark follow my example]], and force them to your heel?
34	** Evilz blows off the argument at first, but after the battle is over and he spends some time thinking it over, he reconsiders... And decides that Bob's argument was stupid after all.
35	* '''Parodied''':
36	** Bob's KirkSummation is something along the line of ArsonMurderAndJaywalking. And then Emperor Evulz denies his logic on the basis of ''[[GrammarCorrectionGag improper grammar]]''.
37	** Evulz doesn't even consider Bob's speech.
38	--->'''[[TheHero Bob]]''': [[LukeIAmYourFather Dear father]], why are you making life miserable for the people? You plunge the whole world into war just to ensure there is a strong ruler that will end war once and for all. Is violence the only answer to the world's problems?\
39	'''[[BigBad Emperor Evulz]]''': Wait, I wasn't listening, could you start again?
40	* '''Zig Zagged''': Emperor Evulz and Bob have a discussion on their respective justifications for their actions back and forth with each arguing against the last point made by the other and essentially being a ShutUpKirk[=/=]ShutUpHannibal cycle.
41	* '''Averted''': The final battle isn't preceded by any kind of witty banter.
42	* '''Enforced''':
43	** The author want to show the audience how off from most people's sense of morality Evulz is.
44	** They were running out of film, and so kept the banter between the two short.
45	* '''Lampshaded''':
46	-->'''Alice''': It's a waste of time talking to him, Bob.
47	* '''Invoked''': Emperor Evulz purposefully sets up situations to force Bob to act like Emperor Evulz just to rub it in his face at the thematically appropriate moment.
48	* '''Exploited''': Knowing that Emperor Evulz will take the opportunity to point out their hypocrisies and lack of understanding, Bob and Co. take advantage of his distraction to attack him from behind.
49	* '''Defied''':
50	** [[TalkToTheFist Emperor Evulz shoots Bob before he can deliver his]] KirkSummation.
51	** As Bob makes his speech, he pauses and decides "Oh, [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] this." Cue NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
52	** Bob swears to his friends he will deliver his speech in a fashion that his father will never be able to contest. [[ExactWords He delivers it]] as an extended BondOneLiner.
53	* '''Discussed''': Emperor Robert and Bob discuss how Emperor Evulz would otherwise love to jump on any hypocrisies in Bob's argument or his misunderstanding of the evil plan, but note that the hypocrisy or misunderstanding is rather reasonable, given the circumstances.
54	-->'''Emperor Robert''': If I were the hand wringing sort of man, I'd point out how much you've misunderstood the plan. Of course, that was the whole point, really.
55	* '''Conversed''': I don't know why they even bother giving the lecture in-show: it's not like he's going to stop just because of one little speech.
56	* '''Deconstructed''':
57	** Emperor Evulz's attempt to dismiss Bob's arguments have some validity, but it quickly becomes apparent that he is stark raving mad and has no true basis for his own arguments other than self-serving denial.
58	** Emperor Evulz's quick dismissal of Bob's KirkSummation causes him to overlook a seriously good point that Bob made which ultimately causes Evulz's downfall.
59	* '''Reconstructed''': While Emperor Evulz's attacks are primarily self-serving and inspire some FridgeLogic, he gets in some good points against Bob which demonstrate his failure to consider the implications of his own actions properly.
60	* '''Implied''': Bob discusses his argument with his friends before he confronts Evilz, and says "I'm sure I can make him see reason.". SmashCut to Evilz rolling his eyes and pulling out his weapon.
