What trope is this? The bad guy says to the good guy "What is it I want or did that is so bad? Really?!" Megatron and Optimus Prime had a great scene like that.

But it,has been done a few times, so there must be a name for it. It isn't a Hannibal Lecture. It must be something else.

I believe it falls under Not So Different.

The self delusion that all fascists partake in?

"Enough bullets to stop me"? What, like one? That's usually enough to stop people not high on adrenaline and bloody-mindedness.

[janegray]

To be fair, I wouldn't count on "usually" to stop Negan.

Thanks genetic lottery. You've given this meathead the power to make good on his childish delusions...

And I still don't believe that's his name. He's the only source on it, he could be lying through his teeth! Reagan's risen from the grave, I tell you!

Yeah the guy got his throat cut and he was still able to break one of Rick's legs before he lost consciousness.

He's got Dialogue Armor instead of Plot Armor. Kirkman is having so much fun writing his dialogue that he doesn't want to kill him off.

Whew.....

They didn't go the cliche route....

I am content. =)

[lordultimus]

Out of genuine curiosity, which cliche route?

[cyberghostface]

Probably him escaping and causing trouble.

[leoboiko]

Coincidence?! I think not!
