A skit still has to be based on events in the series not something they make up so they can do the criticizing themselves.Uncharted 2: Among ThievesUncharted 2: Among Thieves is an action-adventure third-person shooter platform video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. Reviewers can call out the Moral Dissonance in their reviews, but they themselves are not engaging in What the Hell, Hero? as they are not part of the series being criticized. Good-intended mistakes fall under Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!. If the Designated Hero is a Jerkass (or worse), but no one calls him on it in the series, then take your example to Moral Dissonance or Designated Hero. Important note: This article is exclusively about scenes where the hero is called on his morally ambiguous or directly evil actions by characters in the story. Sometimes, those making a What The Hell Hero statement can get one in return- an Anti-Hero may call The Hero out on being too inflexible to do what is necessary, while the hero may respond that his critic's methods are little better than those of the villains. There may be times when those making the criticism may not be aware of extenuating factors for the heroes. Of course, the critics aren't necessarily infallible themselves. The hero may lash out at the reproof if he Can't Take Criticism. A character verbally chastising the hero may realize s/he Was Too Hard on Him if s/he feels uncomfortable in chewing out the hero. Can overlap with "The Reason You Suck" Speech if a character points out a hero's flaws in very long detail in the most brutal way possible. If it's a child calling out a parent, it's Calling the Old Man Out.
Et Tu, Brute? may also counts as this when a hero does not make a full FaceHeel Turn, but gets called out for nearly betraying his allies. Results may vary against the Sociopathic Hero or The Unfettered beware you don't get a Shut Up, Kirk! or Hannibal Lecture in response. Of course, those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, and one should beware of his own Moral Myopia leading to The Complainer Is Always Wrong. The hero may attempt to invoke I Did What I Had to Do as his justification, though this does not always succeed. Can come right off the heels of a Sadistic Choice foisted on the player in a video game. If your character is the one being called out, it's What the Hell, Player? My God, What Have I Done? may be a self-inflicted version. Some video games offer dialogue trees or something similar that might allow your character to call someone out for their horrible behavior, which can be immensely satisfying. Those pesky Trickster Mentors may also find themselves on the receiving end of Rage Against the Mentor. (This trope doesn't really apply to villains who are just doing it For the Evulz.) A villain may also be in the receiving end from another villain that remembers that Even Evil Has Standards. Likewise, villains tend to be immune to this thanks to their It's All About Me attitude (or, at best, Moral Myopia), though a Heel Realisation might clue them in, perhaps leading to a Villainous BSoD. If the player is given no choice in their decision due to Railroading or multiple choices they can make all end with terrible consequences, and the player is then called out for their actions, they are Blamed for Being Railroaded.Īlmost never applies to those Powers That Be who have an Omniscient Morality License, although characters who Rage Against the Heavens might attempt it. (A variation is when the villain will praise the hero, which the hero will find profoundly humiliating.) See also What Is Evil? and "Not So Different" Remark for when a villain is the one pointing this out, or acting as though there's something to point out to mess with the hero. The opposite of Protagonist-Centered Morality contrast also Designated Hero and Hero Insurance.
