Just a Face and a Caption: Trash The Set

Just a Bridge and a Caption: the image itself is just a bridge being destroyed, with no indication that it was a recurring location or that this is the end of the movie.

Needs a montage to work.

Also, the caption is very bad.

Pull. I swear I've brought this page up in the caption repair thread before, too. I guess it got missed.

[up][up] No. This trope is for when a live action production trashes a set as part of a finale, which they can do since they're done using it anyway.

Dunno how well this will work:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The bottom is used on that page but it's 1/3 pics on that page so w/e. The "it all ends here" text is quite helpful.

[up] Are those the same set? It doesn't look like it from this angle. (I also wouldn't have thought they'd rely on practical effects for such a wide exterior shot.)

ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NO

[up] It's an example per the page, but I agree with the criticisms of [up][up].

The examples don't seem to be restricted to literal set destruction. Maybe it's usage drift, but at least it doesn't go so far as to use a cartoon.
