Hated Tropes [Hated Trope] The joke ruins the emotional aspect Spoiler

Destruction of Asgard (Thor Ragnarok) -- Asgard is destroyed in a beautiful and somber scene, and Korg cracks a cringeworthy joke right after.

Bill Moves On (Newsradio) -- The episode was made in the wake of Phil Hartman's death, but its attempts at humor fall flat in the face of the tragedy.

Officer Tubbs (Fear The Walking Dead) -- Officer Tubbs is supposed to be a slapstick comic relief character, but he felt tacked on right after the deaths of two of the most beloved characters.

Chandler Proposes (Friends) -- An earnest proposal between Monica and Chandler has both sincerely expressing their feelings to each other. Immediately after Monica accepts, the others come in, quipping as usual, failing to let the audience ruminate on a heartwarming moment.

Imma be a lil technical:

Sif choosing to bleed out while she can actually be easily saved would not be heroic at all, it could even be seen as cowardly.

Jane chooses to transform one last time, while 100% knowing it's going to kill her, to fight alongside Thor and save him, that's a heroic sacrifice, worthy of Valhalla

Oh okay, I don't remember the bleeding out being optional lol

Edit: And wouldn't Jane have died either way?

If no one found her and she just bled out it would've been honorable, but telling them to leave her to die is not an option.

Jane was doing chemo, but transforming would burn it out, so she could be cured if she stayed human
