This never even happens though. Why the fuck did this become such a commonly upheld cliche. I know Scream 2 really popularized it but it must have been a well known trope before then.
?
It happens in literally 99% of horror/slasher movies that have at least one darkie in them
>Character starts out with noble intentions, gets lost in their crusade for vengeance, does terrible things with no regret
>Character starts out with noble intentions, does terrible things, gets killed and expresses his regrets while dying
Name one where it happens. It doesn't happen in a single Friday the 13th or Halloween movie and those are the most popular slasher franchises. I've seen a retarded amount of slasher movies and can't think of a single one where a black character dies first off the top of my head.
>good guy kisses the girl
The shining.
True enough. But he dies like 2 hours into the movie and he's one of only 2 characters to die, the other being the 'villain.' Hardly seems like its the basis for the trope.
Shrek 3
Gremlins is another one.
dang I love that one too op. If I had to say something else, I'd say that I'm a sucker for training montages where the weak sucky character works his ass off to god status

Fucking EVERYONE dies like this in Dredd, but a few other movies do it too. Terminator 2 holds a special place in my heart for being a Slasher movie to pull this. Even if Skynet lives on, that particular T-1000 is gone for good.

It also had maybe the best ending I’ve ever seen.
It's not the start of the movie, but the film version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has Harry refusing to save Umbridge with the one liner of "Sorry Professor, I must not tell lies" which was satisfying as hell.
Your Mother’s sex tape, incel.

Even the Scream 2 claim is bullshit because the actual nigger that was involved in the story only got killed during the final act
Give any examples

Mentioning this trope is now a trope in itself
Name one movie where this happens
Fallen
This is actually one of the worst tropes, where the characters go into detail about what the plan is and then you know for sure it's going to fail. It spoils what's going to happen as you know it will go horribly wrong, and wastes time because the plot is not being furthered.
>Sequel is set decades after last and two characters still hold a grudge towards one another
Before you were born, so like 2004, this was a really common thing, until people started noticing and filmmakers stopped being racist.
It's still common that the darkies don't make it to the end, though. In TV shows they cycle blacks, see The Walking Dead.

Manos: The Hands of Fate
When I was a teenager I wrote a comedy movie about two black guys who realize they're in a horror movie and try desperately to avoid being the first one killed off as well as sabotage one another into being the first one killed. Meanwhile the white cast is getting butchered in the background. The twist ending was that the killer was a black guy.

I don't have it anymore lmao this was ~10 years ago before I started actually writing films.
Don't really care if the idea gets stolen, I'm a white dude just enough out of touch with black culture to not make a good movie out of this.
Tell y'all what if anybody here ITT steals this just throw "Clark Allen" (not my real name obv) in the credits somewhere and that'll be good enough.

Genuinely good idea and I'm laughing to myself at the image of the two main character's arguing in a car while in the background a white character is having a brutal battle to the death with the killer
Would Fury Road fit this?
I can't even remember any dialog after Joe's face is ripped apart, rather abruptly at that.

There’s the whole drive back with blood-transfusion, and then when they arrive at Citadel the peasants rip Joe’s corpse limb from limb. Joe’s surving son realises he’s lost and let’s Furiosa ascend and take over. There’s not a whole lot of dialogue, but there is a substantial conclusion that wraps up everything after Joe is killed.
Not like The Fly, where as soon as Jeff Goldblum dies the movie ends, despite there being a few loose ends regarding his gf’s story.

I just love the modesty that these type of characters have, to rule with no fame.
I don’t know if it’s in any other movies, but the part in Resoiur Dogs where Mr Orange is practicing bring undercover, and it seamlessly transitions from him rehearsing a fake story, to actually using the fake story when talking to Joe and gang, to finally showing the (false) events of the story. So you hear beginning of story as rehearsal, middle as telling it confidently and ending as if it were real.

Actually kino, well done user
I think the chinese really love this trope; it's rarely the king/emperor that's evil, but his grand vizier and councilors instead.
I honestly think this trope stems from black comedians from back in the day. Not very many 80s slasher movies even had black characters.

In his speech to Congress after 9/11, one of George W Bush's lines was "Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done."
And then, in May of 2011, during his announcement of Osama Bin Laden's death, Obama echoed that sentiment; "On nights like this one, we can say to those families who lost loved ones to al Qaeda's terror: justice has been done."
I absolutely love that callback. I feel like it's a subtle show of respect to W.
>protagonist loses his weapon
>villain that we thought was pure evil puts his weapon down so it's a fair fight
I like a variant where the hero suffers extreme wounds like maiming or impalement or dismemberment, where it seems impossible for him to fight on, but he does some crazy shit (pulling himself through a weapon, using his own body parts as a weapon, pulling a knife out of his own chest and throwing it into the eye of the villain) and actually wins
Alita did this recently
