This Can't Be Happening (Green Ideas)

Product Information

Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom; After you've defeated Deimos he proclaims "No! No! No! This is impossible! I am destined to conquer, to rule! How can I have possibly been beaten by whelps like you?" A notable version in Willow, since it really was impossible. Willow faked the whole thing and if the Big Bad hadn't made a mistake in response she'd have won as soon as she thought to search the area.

Giroro from Sgt. Frog winds up catching this phrase from an enemy who thought he'd killed him. In this case, however, " Sonna bakana!" might be better translated as "This is madness!", since Giroro's response is to scream " THIS IS SPARTA!!" in Gratuitous English and Megaton Punch the bad guy straight through about a dozen walls. Also works as Actor Allusion; Giroro's seiyuu dubbed Gerard Butler in the Japanese edition of 300. The Adventures of the X-Men: The Dweller in Darkness' reaction to his multiversal annihilation plot ending in a humiliating Pyrrhic Victory is "No... this cannot be..." In the last book of the Deptford Mice trilogy, Jupiter screams "It cannot be!" as he realises that Audrey is defeating him.

These exact words are used in Damnatus when the daemon that the radical cultists were trying to imprison escapes, thanks to the heroes gatecrashing the binding ritual. Perhaps a subversion in that it is uttered not by the villain himself but by one of his mooks. Parodied in Neither a Bird nor a Plane, it's Deku!. Tenya spouts "Inconceivable!" when things start going wrong while channeling Eobard Thawne for the Heroes vs. Villains exercise. He does it so many times that it loses all of its impact, prompting Ochaco to think that the word doesn't mean what he think it means. In Final Fantasy V, this is Faris' go-to reaction whenever something very upsetting happens, such as a character's death or being confronted with the fact that she and Lenna are sisters.

Subverted by The Big Bad in Fable II when the hero ends his rant midword. Complete with laconic sarcasm. Though the player can beat said sociopath to the punch if he likes. In Final Fantasy X, Wakka declares "This can't be happening," after the party views Jyscal's Sphere and learns that Seymour murdered him. He says it again after Auron states "We will protect Yuna from anyone, even a maester" and yet again if the player has Wakka use the Talk command to talk to Seymour during the battle. Later, Lulu declares "This...this cannot be!" when Yunalesca tells the party that there is no way to truly defeat Sin. The Flash (2014): In "Flashpoint", the Rival says "That's impossible!" when Barry Allen manages to neutralize the two tornadoes Rival created.

As the first installment of the series, this novel introduces the main and recurring characters that appear in most of the rest of the books in the series, notably Bruno Walton, Melvin “Boots” O'Neal, Elmer Drimsdale, Perry Elbert, Cathy Burton, Diane Grant, and George Wexford-Smyth III. In the second novel, Go Jump in the Pool, most of the rest of the recurring characters are introduced, along with all of their stereotypes. The reaction to the horrible, horrible truth on God Mode: Master Chief is actually Duke Nukem in disguise. Negi: No... it's impossible... he took the Titan-Killing Sword directly... this man defies reason... The Joker screams exactly this trope name in Batman: The Devil's Advocate after he learns in court that he's just been found guilty of multiple counts of first-degree murder, and now will almost certainly get sent to the electric chair. (He'd assumed that he'd always be thought too insane to ever be convicted by a jury, let alone receive the death penalty.) A heroic version of Joseph Joestar witnessing The World's power murdering Kakyoin. Dio stops time, but to Joseph's eyes, he's in a huge disbelief as Kakyoin is suddenly punched across the buildings despite all the traps they set on Dio.

Also Commader Sazabi's reaction to being defeated and destroyed by Captain; "This..can't...be happening! I've lost! No! NOOOOOOOOOO!!"Mantle’s former slugging teammate Roger Maris finished his career that season with the St. Louis Cardinals. The Yankees gave out bobbleheads of Maris on Sunday, commemorating his 61-homer season in 1961. They’ll have a similar promotion next month for Judge, who broke Maris’s A.L. record with 62 last season. In Tales of VS., during Stahn's story mode, Khang screams this when Phillia decides to fight along side with Stahn against him. If this book took place in a different place it probably wouldn’t have been as good. If it wouldn’t had been in a boarding school they wouldn’t have been able to play pranks on over night on their schoolmates. But since it is, they can do a whole bunch more than they could in a regular school.
