Trope Talk: Sins Of The Father

Check out Campfire Blaze here, and remember to use the promo code OSP21 for 20% off a lifetime purchase! https://www.campfiretechnology.com/blaze/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=OSPQ221 It's not QUITE revenge, but it's revenge-adjacent. Let's talk about a trope where nobody gets what they deserve! And thanks to patron James for requesting this video! Shoutout to The Last Of Us II for giving me an absolutely iconic Cycle Of Vengeance example. I love it when stories are creative, but I love it more when they give me a completely by-the-book trope execution to use as an example forever. (I know that example is one of the best modern illustrations of the trope, but that doesn't make this thumbnail any less patently absurd…) MUSIC: "Scheming Weasel" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Our content is intended for teenage audiences and up.

The Siiiiiiins never die! Can't wash this blood off our haaaands! Let the world fear us all. It's just means to an end!

You know what I've never seen? I've never seen the kid run up all "don't hurt my daddy!" and the baddie goes "You're daddy did bad things. Did he ever teach you about responsibility?" turning the target's collateral against them.

There’s also the variant of attacking character c while character a is still alive as an eye for an eye. A classic example (according to some interpretations) is Loki killing Balder to hurt Odin, “you banished and took away my children, so I’m taking your favorite son”! This version was also done on Angel if I recall correctly.

Angel also does a unique variation in the same situation, of character B goes after character A, but by this time character A has matured and begun working on being better. And when character B confronts them, character A basically says “you’re right, I’m sorry for what I did and know I can’t take it back, but I’m trying to make amends and be a better person”. Mass Effect also did this variation pretty well with Garrus and Sidonis.

Revenge is a dish best unserved.

Very well done Red. Loved how you went into the motivations and the emotions involved. As well as how to heal versus getting even.

This was great. People in Rwanda are no longer set on murdering their neighbors. But I still want the world leaders of the time to be held responsible. None of them would use the word "genocide," because that would obligate them, under international agreements, to stop it, actually getting their troops on the ground, in Rwanda. And how about the anti-war people whose reaction was feared? Fight too many wars, you get Vietnam. Fight too few wars, you get Rwanda, where only one side had weapons, and the estimate of deaths pushes a million. Not holding people responsible opens us all to the risk of the same things happening again ... and again, and again.
