Doesn't this technically count as a death trope? So are the spoiler tags necessary? Just curious.

It's a Killing Trope more than a Death Trope, less likely to be a spoiler.

Question: How come the infamous quote from 300 isn't on the list? I mean, the one on the receiving end did die at the bottom of that pit...
Sed regresso retributio. Carpe Diem. Deus lo Vult...

I wonder if puns help one cross the moral line of ending someone else's life in real life?
Hopefully none of the tropers can answer that from personal experience...

The Red vs. Blue page quote doesn't really fit, does it? since it's not a PRE-mortem quote and is therefore a Bond (post-mortem) one liner.
Another Film Example of this would be in CUTTHROAT ISLAND, when (SPOILERS) Gena Davis's Captain Morgan Adams is all but beaten to death, crawls backward on a burning wreckage of her uncle's pirate ship, as he slowly pursues her doing a Villain Monologue. She holds up a burning stick and he asks, "You going to kill me with that, little niece?", and she tells him, "No Uncle, with this.", pulling a cloth back to reveal a loaded canon pointed right at him. She lights the very short fuse, smirks and him, and says, "BAD DOG!" just as the ball explodes forward, smashing into the bad guy's chest, catapulting him through the layers of his ship, into the open sea.
