The antagonist ends the altrecations with a firm handshake and a nod of respect to the antagonist.
>>215648214>Antagonist tries to get the protagonist to join himIs there a single movie where this has worked and the main character says "yeah you know what, fuck it" and teams up with the villain?

>>215654173This happened to me in college onceOur whole dorm was having a nerf war and I enlisted the help of my buddy across the hall who was a fat, doughy computer science major who sat in front of his computer all day. But all of a sudden when you play nerf, he becomes weirdly agile and starts pulling Bulletproof Monk shit, flying through the air shooting people in the head and literally running up walls doing backflipsI'd been doing martial arts for like 3 years and there's no way I could have done any of the quasi-superhuman things I saw him do that day. I don't even think he knew he could do it.

>>215655272>>215653959For me it's>protag gets killed earlier in franchise of film>gets resurrected stronger than ever when heroes are about get obliterated and gets them back in the fightNot as common which makes it more kino
>annoying foid gets her shit kicked in and it's presented as a good thing
>young child who plays a minor part in the movie reminds the protagonist of why he should keep on fighting, and it spurs him to victory
>>215648214I'm still waiting for a movie with a veteran proctologist who's a week away from retirement and finally says I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT
