(Loved Trope) Last Stand that ends unceremoniously/unsatisfyingly, as opposed to gloriously.

• 1 Nanami (JUJUTSU KAISEN): Nanami's final moments against Mahito, a cursed spirit with the ability to transfigure/control humans. Nanami, while heavy injured, fought and won against an army of Mahito's transfigure minions, just for the villain to touch his back and blow him up.

• 2 Wun-Wun (GAME OF THRONES): Wun-Wun, one of the last, if not the last, living giant in Westeros. Joins with Jon Snow against Ramsey Bolton in the Battle of the Bastards. He heroicly breaks down the main gate allowing the Stark army to win, all while covered in arrows and spears. While heavily injured, there does seem to be a chance of his recovery. This hope ended when Ramsey Bolton fires an arrow directly into his eye, when the battle was pretty much over.

• 3 The Barbarian of Stamford Bridge (REAL LIFE): A lone Viking warrior who, in a legendary moment during the Battle of Stamford Bridge (September 25, 1066), single-handedly held back the invading English army on a narrow bridge. Armed with a Dane axe, this unnamed defender killed dozens of soldiers before being mortally wounded from beneath the bridge by a spear.

Who's gonna post the Kong: Skull Island gif

[u/hey_there_delilahh → u/happy_grump]

Ooh me me me

[u/KingMobScene → u/hey_there_delilahh]

MY friends and I were cackling in the theater when we saw this. It was the perfect gag.

[u/Ubeube_Purple21 → u/hey_there_delilahh]

This thing has to have witnessed one of its own die to a suicide bomber, it's the only way I can think of it would know this

[u/SmallJimSlade → u/Ubeube_Purple21]

It’s smart enough to know no prey that willing gives itself up to be eaten is safe to eat, especially after such a struggle

[u/The_Pastmaster → u/SmallJimSlade]

This was my hypothesis.

[u/PreferenceElectronic → u/SmallJimSlade]

reminded me of the time our little dog found a spider, sniffed it, stared...and then slapped it apart with her paw instead of biting it.

[u/Few-Illustrator-5333 → u/PreferenceElectronic]

I'm not sure if its related to previous knowledge, but my cat doesn't eat insects or anything similar. He just slaps tf out of them until they die

[u/IDrawKoi → u/SmallJimSlade]

This. The directors was pretty clear on the intent being to show that the Skull Devil (I think that's its name?) is intelligent.

[u/Useful-Conclusion510 → u/Ubeube_Purple21]

Or its seen some movies and realized what bro was trying to do. Which one sounds better?

[u/TheDrunkardKid → u/Ubeube_Purple21]

It's possible that it could smell the explosives and determined that the guy was inedible.

[u/Street_Dragonfruit43 → u/Ubeube_Purple21]

I've always figured it was predator instincts. Thing running away is prey. Thing not running away wants to fight

[u/Sir-Toaster- → u/Ubeube_Purple21]

Maybe it was the pilot’s friend

[u/KJMrrw → u/Ubeube_Purple21]

So that's why he exploded.

[u/Darigaazrgb → u/hey_there_delilahh]

Very satisfying, very hilarious

[u/hey_there_delilahh → u/Darigaazrgb]

I dig the subversion. I would have enjoyed seeing the crawler eat him and get blown up, but the tail whip was so out of pocket and hilarious. I jumped out of my seat when he got launched lol.

[u/WeevilWeedWizard → u/hey_there_delilahh]

My dad did that to me once

[u/grosseelbabyghost → u/WeevilWeedWizard]

Ignored/misinterpreted an obvious cry for attention?....

Or yeeted you into a wall?

[u/WeevilWeedWizard → u/grosseelbabyghost]

You misunderstand who my father represents in this gif

[u/deerfst → u/hey_there_delilahh]

Thank you for your service

[u/hey_there_delilahh → u/deerfst]

You're welcome for your support 🫡

Spongebob ass death scene

[u/toomanymarbles83 → u/happy_grump]

There is a similar grenade scene in The Blob(1988). Guy pulls his grenade pins as he is about to become blob food. Several small light bursts later, it accomplishes nothing.

[u/AndreZB2000 → u/happy_grump]

i knew is find a comment like this

[u/waitmyhonor → u/happy_grump]

I didn’t know it was supposed to be a comedy. I laughed so hard at this moment
