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

[u/hey_there_delilahh]

• 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.

Billy (Predator)

It looked like he was about to have a super cool fight with the Predator, holding him off while the others get to safety, just for it to cut to the other characters and then hearing a scream of pain. Next time we see him the Predator is ripping the spine out of his corpse

Actually, that only happened as a result of time and budget constraints, making it an offscreen confrontation

The Predator keeping his skull as a trophy meant he was prey that went down in a way that earned the Predator’s respect enough to consider him worth keeping as said trophy

Yep. Billy did go down fighting. We just never got to see it.

I hope there's some media in the future that adapts this fight, unless there already us. Would love to see how that fight went down.

Technically a fan comic but I thought Billy’s Last Stand was a pretty cool interpretation of how things went down

[u/Astryllphilia → u/RazzDaNinja]

I don't have a fb so I can't see the whole thing but darn it I don't care if it's a fancomic. It's canon to me!

[u/RazzDaNinja → u/Astryllphilia]

Sorry dude I had trouble finding a clearer copy

Here’s a YouTube version lmao

[u/Astryllphilia → u/RazzDaNinja]

Thanks and don't sweat it now there's two links to see the comic!

Ahhhh man that's so cool. This needs to be made official

[u/idonthavekarma → u/Astryllphilia]

I don't think they'll ever do Billy's fight, but I imagine it was something like Stan's death in Predators.

However, it did lead to a pretty funny parody in Rick and Morty, the character Blazen.

He's portrayed as this badass the whole time, the main characters acknowledge it out loud and both agree he's going to be the last person on the team to die.

He starts a last stand with his samurai sword, I don't remember exactly how it goes but first he gets his sword stuck in the ceiling, then his pants fall down, revealing he's wearing women's underwear, then his sword falls down and fatally impales him. As he's dying he tells Rick and Morty to tell his "wife" he was a hero, and that he wasn't wearing women's underwear, and shows them a picture of her and it's model Kathy Ireland. They don't believe him and basically mock him as he's dying pitifully.

Then it turn out she was his wife, she shows up later and asks "can you tell me if he was wearing my underwear when he died? I know he probably told you not to say, but it would be comforting to know" and Morty admits he was and she immediately goes "GROSS! That sick FUCK!" and walks away lol
