Death by Materialism	comment	A good indicator a character is on the low end of the Sorting Algorithm of Mortality is that the character acts greedy or materialistic at any point. This is not the same as being a Rich Bitch. You can be poor and greedy, and that will still get you whacked. The usual form of this is failing to get away from the monster or escape a major disaster because you have to pick up valuables off the floor. Or something that has intrinsic (or even personal) value to the person. This is of course a highly Anvilicious Aesop showing that Greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, along with how often Corrupt Corporate Executives bite it in disaster films, several Kaiju flicks, and Jaws ripoffs. Can sometimes be a Karmic Death, but more often comes across as Too Dumb to Live. Often set in a Treasure Room. Compare Death by Mocking, Greed Makes You Dumb, Gold Fever, Suit with Vested Interests, and Villain by Default. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Death by Materialism / int_124925ac	comment	Onodera from Gamera vs. Barugon. He manages to steal a giant diamond from the middle of a military operation. The operation was to use the diamond to lure Barugon into a lake where he could be killed. Onodera knew this because a radio announcement for this told him where the diamond was. He's too greed-crazed to realize that "carrying monster bait" = "YOU are monster bait." Dinner Ensues. Also serves as Karmic Death, as Onodera had racked up a bit of a Gold Fever-fueled body count earlier in the movie.

Death by Materialism / int_1670bd19	comment	Particularly greedy players can bring this fate upon themselves in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. If the player has over 50,000 RU and reaches the Wish Granter, the PC will say "I want... to be rich". He then sees hundreds of gold coins falling around him... which is actually a hallucination. The "coins" are actually bolts falling from the roof of the building which then collapses on him. The game also likes to put valuable artifacts near dangerous anomalies. Some are positioned in such a way as to be all but unreachable, with the anomalies almost certainly crushing anyone greedy enough to take the risk.

Death by Materialism / int_1869a077	comment	Non-lethal example, probably, in the Samurai Jack episode "The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful". Outlaw Couple Zeke and Josephine Clench actually succeed in catching Jack; however, Josephine gets a little too greedy and, hoping to gain the huge bounty all for herself, shoves Zeke off the train - not knowing that Jack saw this coming. A carefully placed kick and roll lets him entangle his bindings around Zeke's ankle in a way that snags her ankle as he falls, letting Jack break free and drag her down with him all in one swoop. (When last seen, the two were bound and dangling upside-down from a tree with Zeke reminding her of the 150-foot restraining order he has against her; quite likely, this sort of thing happened before.)

However, they likewise found the remains of Avery and his former second in command, Thomas Tew, who had killed each other trying to claim the treasure. By this point, Nate has had enough of the treasure hunt and wants to leave the island with his brother while they still have their lives. But Sam's too stubborn to give up the quest and ends up pinned by debris thanks to a bobby trap on the ship. When both the brothers and their main antagonist, Rafe, are locked in the hold by Rafe's dragon, Nadine, who likewise has had enough and bails. Nate is willing to forfeit the treasure to Rafe long as they save Sam. But Rafe, utterly obsessed with claiming the find as his own, refuses and forces Nate into a sword fight. Just as he has Nate at his mercy, Nate cuts a rope that has a net of treasure handing over Rafe, dropping it on him, and crushing him. Even Nate's final words reflect this.

Death by Materialism / int_19505f68	comment	In Startopia, the mind-blowingly rich and lazy Gem Slugs have their own private, personalized bar and bathhouse; the contents of the latter smell positively vile to non-Slugs. Every once in a while, a Gem Slug will become so relaxed in one of these baths that they'll forget to take care of their health, eventually dying/drowning. The developers caught it early... but didn't really feel like fixing it because Gem Slugs dying by their own opulence was just plain funny.

In the end, having rented a helicopter, Kinnosuke bails out and Nabiki, Ranma, and Akane (there as Nabiki's chaperones) find out the helicopter controls run on five-yen coins, and bail out themselves. When Kinnosuke discovers his parachute is a fake (planted there by Nabiki in advance) she offers to sell him a real parachute for one yen. He smacks into the solid asphalt hard enough to leave a Kinnosuke-shaped impression. (But still survives.)

Death by Materialism / int_1f2edb72	comment	In Toontown Online, one set of Lure gags (which are Exactly What It Says on the Tin) contains money on fishing poles. You throw out a $1, $5, or $10 bill on a line toward one of the Cogs, and if it works, they come toward you. While they are lured, they cannot attack. Higher denominations keep them lured longer. Also, if a Trap gag is set before the Cog before it's lured, they walk right into the trap, resulting in anything from the famous Banana Peel to actually being blown up. Unfortunately, this kind of Lure gag only works on one Cog at a time, and are single-use. And low chance of working. But combined with traps, this is the best example of Death By Materialism in the whole game. Except possibly the Cashbot CFO, where you have to fling safes at him to damage him. And then he gets run over by a train.

Nathan Drake is searching for El Dorado (in the game El Dorado is not a city, but a giant idol), for the riches it will bring him; he learns of its real power to create zombies out of normal people and decides to leave it as it is, although the Big Bad of the game takes it for its monetary worth — death soon follows. It's suggested that the entire purpose of the idol is to punish people for excessive materialism. Happens twice in the fourth game. In the climax, all parties manage to reach Henry Avery's ship and the hold where the treasure laid. However, they likewise found the remains of Avery and his former second in command, Thomas Tew, who had killed each other trying to claim the treasure.

Warden Gad Hassan, who attempts to take some of the jeweled scarabs from a wall mural, only to discover that they're real flesh-eating scarabs after one burrows into his boot... up his leg... over his chest... and into his brain... Subverted with Evie and Rick's determination to gain the Book of the Dead. Granted, neither of them dies from it, but that's not for a lack of trying on the antagonist's part. The alternate search party who does find the book, on the other hand... What happens to Beni at the end is a Double Subversion. He safely brings a bag of treasure to his camel. Then he goes back to load up another bag and doesn't make it. Doubly ironic because it's setting down the sack of treasures that accidentally sets off the traps. Inverted with Rick, Evie, and Jonathan, who inadvertently carry off Beni's treasure at the end and wind up filthy rich in the sequels as a result (Jonathan squandered most of it in the interim), though Evie's inheritance from her late parents probably helped as well. Although one could argue that it was accidental and more of a case of serendipity/good karma.

Death by Materialism / int_2b4a52fe	comment	Living Dead Series: Dawn of the Dead (1978) had this trope as its main theme. The survivors holed up in a mall that happened to attract zombies even when there were no living people around there at first, apparently the zombies were drawn there because it was "an important place in their lives" and this is to say nothing of Roger dying to help secure the mall instead of leave it and Stephen dying after shooting at bikers for trying to loot their mall...to say nothing of the bikers themselves, who invade the mall to steal the money and various other objects, which results in several of them getting killed by both Peter and the various zombies that they let in. Land of the Dead: The zombies hit the rich folks harder than the poor because the rich simply lacked the Mole People-like hiding skills that the underclasses had developed. A more straight example of the trope is Kaufman, who wastes precious time trying to escape with his huge sacks of money, even though it's after the apocalypse and cash presumably only has value outside of the Last Human City as toilet paper.

In various levels, you can pick up big suitcases filled with dollar-bills, and throw them at the Mooks — who will immediately abort their attempts to kill you to instead go jumping around, trying to pick the floating currency out of the air. Leaving them all nicely gathered in a single spot with their defenses down. Cue the chainsaw. Other levels use alternate objects with a similar effect, though only some of them fall under this. Throwing a big-ass bloody steak at a bunch of zombies, or a plateful of hot pork buns at some Kung-Fu Mooks probably still counts... throwing a pirate-hat at a group of Ninjas so they'll ignore you to cut the hat to pieces instead, maybe not too much.

Basically, the Count catches Danglars as he's trying to escape from the Earth with 50 million francs in his private shuttle, forces him to confess his crimes, and leaves him in his shuttle with nothing but pure gold — no food or drink. It is strongly implied that the Count's henchmen have hacked into the shuttle's program so that it can't land anywhere. In the last scene Danglars is heard of, he's rolling around naked in his gold and probably close to dying.

It's also suggested that any bandit attacking a Dwarf mail coach, Dwarfs being faithful about sending money home, and demanding their money or their lives should bring a book, folding chair, and lunch. In Soul Music, one of the main characters is a dwarf, and at one point finds himself hanging over the edge of a cliff, holding on with one hand and holding a sack of five thousand dollars in the other. His friends yell at him to let go of the money, or he will fall and die. His response is "Letting go of five thousand dollars is death!" The Luggage often suckers bandits or other riffraff into biting range by sitting perfectly still with its lid open, exposing a fortune in gold coins within.

Death by Materialism / int_4afc2089	comment	Daffy Duck in many Looney Tunes cartoons. Particularly in "Ali Baba Bunny", where after he finds a genie in a lamp in a treasure trove, this is his reaction: At the end, we find Daffy was shrunk to only a few inches high when he runs out of a tiny hole in the ground and tries to steal a pearl Bugs Bunny found in an oyster. Bugs casually closes the oyster, trapping Daffy inside. He gets in trouble for this again by assuming there's treasure in Elmer Fudd's castle in "Beanstalk Bunny". When he and Bugs are fleeing from giant Elmer at the end, Daffy insists on going back, certain there's gold in the castle. Bugs is smarter, and keeps running, finding a rabbit paradise in the form of gigantic carrots. In the final scene, it's shown that Elmer has turned Daffy into a watch. Subverted in "Ducking the Devil" where, as Daffy is counting his reward money for recapturing the Tasmanian Devil, one of the dollar bills falls into its cage. He rushes in, the audience hears the sounds of someone being beaten up... then Daffy emerges from the cage, largely unscathed, with a badly injured Devil behind him, and Daffy proclaims "Like I said, I'm a coward, but I'm a greedy little coward!"

This is driven home more in the second book, in which the villainess actually asks one of the protagonists to help her carry the "treasure" she gathered out (she had hit her head and thought that a lot of worthless rock and pottery was gold). On the other hand, it's subverted with the protagonists, who also loot the same places but manage to come out alive (in fact, that's pretty much their life's work). Mainly it's because they're Crazy-Prepared.

Death by Materialism / int_59da62aa	comment	At the end of Fallout: New Vegas DLC "Dead Money": The treasure of the Sierra Madre includes several gold bars that each value at a little over 10,000 caps and weigh 35 pounds. However, at the end of the module, the player's Explosive Leash will activate, giving them limited time to make it out, with the intent that the player can at best grab a few of the bars before becoming over-encumbered. It's all part of the DLC's theme of "letting go", though it's possible for a very crafty player to make it out with all the treasure. The Sierra Madre vault itself was also intended to be an example of this: Dean Domino and Vera Keyes had been planning to betray Frederick Sinclair and escape with his gold, so he arranged to trap them both in the vault with the treasure. Neither of them makes it down there, though, but you can lock Father Elijah (the one who's currently trying to crack the vault) inside anyway.

Despite their plans being dependent on only taking so much money, all of the characters just can't help but try and grab more.

Warden Gad Hassan, who attempts to take some of the jeweled scarabs from a wall mural, only to discover that they're real flesh-eating scarabs after one burrows into his boot... up his leg... over his chest... and into his brain... Subverted with Evie and Rick's determination to gain the Book of the Dead. Granted, neither of them dies from it, but that's not for a lack of trying on the antagonist's part. The alternate search party who does find the book, on the other hand... What happens to Beni at the end is a Double Subversion. He safely brings a bag of treasure to his camel. Then he goes back to load up another bag and doesn't make it. Doubly ironic because it's setting down the sack of treasures that accidentally sets off the traps. Inverted with Rick, Evie, and Jonathan, who inadvertently carry off Beni's treasure at the end and wind up filthy rich in the sequels as a result (Jonathan squandered most of it in the interim), though Evie's inheritance from her late parents probably helped as well. Although one could argue that it was accidental and more of a case of serendipity/good karma. The Mummy Returns: Subverted when the heroes are escaping the collapsing pyramid in an airship. Evie's brother Jonathan is dangling by his ankle off the side of the ship and screams to be pulled up... until he notices the diamond pyramid topper. And surprisingly enough, he manages to take it! Their ride: Izzy wants his share of it for all the things O'Connell forced him through, and Jonathan owes him for defrauding him out of an investment in leather manufacturing.

Those who clung to their treasure eventually fell into the crevices below that opened as part of the booby trap. Those that dropped them and ran for their lives probably survived and can be seen tied up in the brig near the end of the film. Long John Silver escapes, though he does renounce the treasure at the last minute in favor of rescuing Jim. In a similar twist to the Atlantis example above, Silver gives up the few bits of treasure he managed to save to Jim for his mom to rebuild the inn that he and his pirates destroyed earlier in the movie, allowing them to rebuild it bigger and better than before.

In #25, bandit Ivar Reiss is struck by Gold Fever, and first triggers a trap that starts the tomb collapsing.

The Minnow group finds a hidden cache of gold on the island and start seeing dollar signs, but realize that it will be too heavy to transport back on the raft they're building to escape. Greed gets the better of almost everyone, though, and each person secretly sneaks a single gold bar in their belongings as they climb on the raft...which promptly sinks, leaving them trapped again. Notably, Gilligan gets to hold the Smart Ball in this episode, as he is the only person who doesn't succumb to temptation and try to take the gold with him; as such, this was one of the only instances where he didn't ruin the castaways' chance at escaping, which he promptly lampshades.

Once she's finally exposed as the killer, she explains that the only reason she's spent her life gambling for vast sums is to afford to live out her dream of owning a European castle and be surrounded with male servants dressed as vampires. She wants it so badly that she's literally bet her own life. When she saw Monokuma offer so much money and realized that all she had to do was take a few lives, it was a no-brainer for her. Before she's led off to her execution, she decides to go down as a Graceful Loser with no regrets for doing whatever she had to to get what she wanted.

Death by Materialism / int_73b74949	comment	In the third DLC of Borderlands, the last mission takes place in an armory teeming with weapons chests; however, the armory is set to explode in exactly two minutes. In short, the player has a limited amount of time to search the massive armory. Although the player is given the option to escape, the other alternative is to continue searching for weapons knowing full well that time is running out. Interestingly, Athena watches in the distance as the base explodes; this implies she planned to kill the mercenary with the one thing they could not defeat: their own greed. This is, of course, assuming the player fails to escape in time. Sadly, Gameplay and Story Segregation rears its ugly head here; the New-U respawn stations are actually a non-canon gameplay-only mechanic meant for the players, but they can be used in full-effect here to loot as many chests as possible, ignore the self-destruct countdown entirely, and respawn at the base with all their loot after dying with a tiny monetary loss in a game where money is second to rare loot. And all four vault hunters canonically survived to the next game.

In one building, where all the signs have faded, there's a huge pile of money in the middle of the floor, waiting for someone to take it. The middle of the floor is as far as the last looters got before a police robot arrived to arrest the "bank robbers." This isn't directly Shoplift and Die since the robot is armed with a stun gun. Rather, it's shoplift and slowly starve to death as the robot forces you to wait for the long-deceased real police to arrive and haul you off to jail. One protagonist who stayed outside helps the rest by committing another crime: impersonating an officer.

Oddly, the treasure is actually blown clear, and you have to give it to him to advance the story, making him a very happy man and simultaneously shooting the Aesop in the foot. Even though Kolorado was interested in the treasure for its historical value rather than the money, he was still about to die for it.

Early on in Raiders of the Lost Ark Satipo leaves Dr. Jones to die so he can escape the temple with the solid gold idol. Of course, he runs right into the spear trap they both avoided earlier. In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Mola Ram dies when he tries to catch the stone and his hand is burned, then eaten by crocodiles. (And he had just pointed out to Indiana that if he dropped the stones, they could simply be found again — why did he bother trying to grab them as they fall when he was now in actual danger himself?) At the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, although it isn't choosing the wrong grail (that's just paying attention to Biblical history or simply looking for the cup that is the most different from all the rest), it's that Elsa keeps reaching for the grail, instead of taking Indy's hand. It nearly gets Indy, too, but his dad manages to snap him out of it right at the last moment. Happens to Mac in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when he tries to load himself up on treasure as the temple they're in is collapsing around him. Maybe.

The compound is promptly overrun, not by zombies, but by desperate still-living humans, following the transmissions and looking for a safe place to hide. Cue the rich, arrogant bastards dying and the mercenary/bodyguard narrator fleeing the scene, along with Hilton's dog. Played straight with the man who sold the fake zombie vaccine Phalanx, who made loads of money on "the appearance of the appearance of safety!" He then used his money to pay rent in a Russian facility in Antarctica. He appears to be a Karma Houdini, until in the closing chapter a government official says that he's in talks with Russia to stop renewing his lease.

When he loads the body into the retort, the rocket is lit and sends the door flying straight through the poor blighter's neck. Another segment focused on a man who was grave robbing his brother after he left everything in his will to his dog. He steals valuable accessories from his brother's corpse but makes the mistake of digging too close to the tombstone and it falls on top of him, crushing him. Another segment was about a woman who spent her days frolicking in the cash she embezzled from her rich husband. One day an earthquake strikes and multiple bags of money fall on top of her, suffocating her. Another segment was about an ex-con who was tasked with community service wound up working for a moving company, he steals a diamond flower ornament and puts it in his shirt pocket, but when the van moves he falls out and a cabinet falls on top of him, and the ornament pierces his lungs. Another segment was about two women who posed as relief workers for Hurricane Katrina but were merely there to steal valuable items. After robbing a church, they go into its flooded basement, turned on the faulty improperly grounded lights, stepped in, and were promptly electrocuted. Another segment focused on two thieves in New York in the 1920s. They hijack the pneumatic tube system banks used at the time to transport money, but pressure builds up in the blocked pipe and it explodes, bombarding them in shrapnel.

Milagro Man is a transferable stand that causes its user to constantly earn money whenever they try to spend it; vendors will refuse service and instead refund payment, gambling results in winning the highest payout, and so on. The money cannot be given away, stored, or destroyed because more will appear. This never stops until the unlucky victim is buried alive under the piles of cash. The only way to escape the curse is to transfer it by having someone else steal or destroy the money, which will transfer Milagro Man to the thief.

Drogo does so by pouring molten gold on his head, giving him his crown. It's implied that the Good Masters of Astapor were too blinded by the prospect of owning a dragon to see the many holes in the deal. Averted when Bronn drops a bagful of gold when a Dothraki rider is bearing down on him. As a sellsword, he's Only in It for the Money but knows full well you can't take it with you. So he runs for his life instead of grabbing it.

Go with your jungle boy! I got what I came for! I don't need you." Kaa the snake then emerges from the treasure and startles him, and he falls into the water, weighed down by the treasure he has in his pockets and bag. His terrified screams go unheard as he views the drowned corpses of all the greedy treasure hunters who came here before him. Anticipated and lampshaded by Mowgli, who dissuades the love interest from taking the treasure with a comment along the lines of, "To take this gold is to take death." It's also implied that he's seen the snake. Partially based on an original Kipling story but there, a bunch of people kill each other for an item of treasure.

If he did so, he could use his second hand to prop himself up. As it was, the Emperor ends up throwing his salamander to form a bridge for Vulkan to stand on. Ironically, Vulkan was later revealed/retconned to be a Perpetual who can come back from being dissected to the atomic level. Warboss Grisgutz's Waaagh! left the Warp at the same place it had entered it, but shortly before it had entered it (the Warp is weird like that).

Subverted when it turns out the Siren is not malicious, and the people she "disintegrates" are still alive. Captain still learns his lesson, though.

One good example of this is in the episode "Sea What I Found". After Lifty gets pinned under an iron pillar, Shifty chooses to save the jewelry Lifty is carrying rather than Lifty himself. The weight of all the gold he's carrying slows him down enough for the underwater volcano they're over to start melting it, causing it to cover him and burn him to death. Lifty manages to escape with only minor injuries, only to notice his now golden brother and, overcome with greed himself, try to grab him. The statue is too heavy for him, his hand gets stuck, and he gets pulled to the bottom and drowns.

Interior decorator Ian Douglas, who discovers the fire, retrieves his favorite figurine from his desk as he flees up the stairs (despite having been advised not to take anything by the security guard he phoned it in to). Embezzling accountant Lex Hughes doesn't immediately flee due to gathering up the money, and then hides from the firefighters out of the fear that they'd be suspicious of his briefcase of money (which he can't just put back because he'd closed the money drawer after emptying it and doesn't have the key), then tries to sneak out on his own. The third case is a man named Bigelow attempting to take a heavy trophy he won for a business presentation with him while he tries to cross through a burning room to safety on the other side, while abandoning an unconscious woman. Douglas ultimately survives, Bigelow and Hughes don't.

One age consists of seven large puzzles/locks protecting a massive vault filled with gold, art, carpets, gems, valuables... and a single skeleton reaching out for a linking book out of the age. Bit of backstory, the D'ni suffered a great tragedy that killed them off, the few survivors retreating to other ages. This survivor retreated to his vault and locked himself inside to be with his valuables... lacking any food or water. He didn't USE the linking book due to the terror of dying away from his riches. This is then inverted when Yeesha, the only person who can legitimately travel through time, goes back to save his life. In the 'alternate' vault, there's no treasure, no wonders, and just outside the vault, the whole Age has fallen apart.

Death by Materialism / int_eb3f769d	comment	This is exactly what happens to Duhamel in the Aubrey-Maturin books. He converts his entire fortune to gold, straps it to his waist, then drowns. Of course, he was only getting on the ship so he could defect to the Americas and retire from working as a spy, so this one's also Retirony. This might be a case of Truth in Television, as it was customary at the time that officers of seized ships be stripped and searched for valuables, which led to a lot of officers having to carry gold bullion or coins sewed into their jackets. This is how many officers of the "Prince de Conty" drowned when the ship sank off the Bretton coast of France in 1746.

Evie's brother Jonathan is dangling by his ankle off the side of the ship and screams to be pulled up... until he notices the diamond pyramid topper. And surprisingly enough, he manages to take it! Their ride: Izzy wants his share of it for all the things O'Connell forced him through, and Jonathan owes him for defrauding him out of an investment in leather manufacturing.

Unfortunately, all they find in the tomb is a hibernating vampire, which angrily kills the soldiers for disturbing its slumber and starts marauding the countryside.

Death by Materialism / int_ef215943	comment	The PAYDAY: The Heist games frequently invoke this trope in the mechanics of how the game plays, as most heists involve balancing between lingering to get more loot, in the face of increasing danger from police opposition as more numerous and powerful enforcers arrive, vs a quick and expedient escape after the easy loot has been acquired. Many times a heist can fail because players couldn't resist staying to crack those last few safe deposit boxes despite the bulk of the loot already being loaded into the escape vehicle.

Nathan Drake is searching for El Dorado (in the game El Dorado is not a city, but a giant idol), for the riches it will bring him; he learns of its real power to create zombies out of normal people and decides to leave it as it is, although the Big Bad of the game takes it for its monetary worth — death soon follows. It's suggested that the entire purpose of the idol is to punish people for excessive materialism.

Death by Materialism / int_f6fb4731	comment	The film Ghost Ship has this as the framing device. The main characters are a salvage team boarding the titular ship, which is rumored to have a huge sum of money on board. The rumors are true, but it turns out to be a repeated con by a demon in order to drag souls to Hell as the various crews end up trying to sneak off the ship with the money. The reason the ship became a Ghost Ship to begin with is also because of this; an entire cruise ship full of people was massacred by greedy crew and thieves who kill the entire crew, all of the passengers, and then one another attempting to get the money. The last one is killed themselves by the demon, who was also responsible for this incident.

Stev Kimmer, leader of the survivors, smuggles a fortune in valuable metals onto the shuttle, but the added weight - almost half a ton - nearly dooms the shuttle and all aboard.

One sheep in the nightmares, the Merchant Sheep, will trade useful items for the Enigma Coins that can be found throughout the levels (their primary purpose is as a scoring mechanic). He admits that this is because he's obsessed with money and thinks he can buy his way out of the nightmares if he has enough. Eventually, he won't show up at the landings. In his place, there is another sheep who recounts how the Merchant Sheep fell off the tower when his bag of coins got too heavy for him.
