Defiant Stone Throw	comment	So the villain is going on an evil speech about how now everyone must despair and obey or die... Only to get a rock to the head from a Muggle or Innocent Bystander. Rather than be paralyzed with fear, the meekest make a very brave, but mostly harmlessnote despite the fact that in Real Life, getting hit by a good-sized rock can be legitimately dangerous gesture of defiance against a dangerous foe whom they have every reason not to piss off. For extra trope points, it'll be a child, old person, or someone who is completely unintimidating. For double bonus points, it will be someone previously shown to dislike the hero or badmouth them. The symbolism here is pretty direct: even when in the face of overwhelming opposition and defeat, people are still capable of bravery and dignity. Despite the trope name stones aren't always used, sometimes it's trash or even Produce Pelting. If even that is hard to come by, the (at this point) Heroic Bystander may just use a well-timed Shut Up, Hannibal!, saying that they reject their rule, believe in the hero, and that even The Hero's defeat will only embolden them to fight for themselves. This may lead to the rock thrower getting killed, a pro-hero riot starting, the villain getting distracted (and the hero taking advantage) or the release of the hero to finish the battle. In some cases, the civilian has no rock and instead uses trash, or does something equally impressive like standing during a Kneel Before Zod exchange. See also Spirit Bomb, Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?, Least Is First (the lowest-status character steps forward first, shaming the higher-status ones into supporting a course of action). Boulder Bludgeon is when the character actively uses rocks as a weapon.

Even though they've got enough food for the winter, Hopper insists on his gang of grasshoppers going back to intimidate the ant colony as usual, because a single ant (the protagonist Flik) stood up to him. To demonstrate why, he throws a seed at one of the dissenting minions and asks if that hurt. The minion laughs it off. He throws a second seed, which is also laughed off. Then Hopper knocks the lid off the seed container and buries them under a huge pile of seeds.

Worth noting is that when Lord Rust orders Vimes' men to fire arrows over the top of the barricade in response to a fairly minor hail of missiles, Vimes lays him out flat with one punch and tells his men to simply move out of stone-throwing range. Thud!: When Vimes and company investigate a murder claim in a dwarven compound, a group of unruly dwarves show up to protest. One of them throws a half brick and knocks out the dwarf officer Vimes brought with him and in a subversion of the "harmless" aspect of the trope, ultimately kills him.

When the Germans are withdrawing from the town earlier in the film, Dirk is taking photographs of the withdrawing soldiers when one storms over and angrily smashes his camera. Hot-blooded and defiant, young Dirk throws a rock through the windshield of a German truck, striking the driver in the face and causing the vehicle to veer off the road into some of the marching infantry. This results in three deaths. Dirk escapes the vengeful Germans but they return to the town, vowing to execute hostages if Dirk does not step forward. This results in the capture and execution of Dirk and several other Resistance members, and few people in town are impressed by the act.

But since David has a sense of self-preservation, he cries out for help. When the crowd starts wondering if he's a real child or not, the circus master gives an impassioned speech about how the machines are starting to replace the children, and therefore, should be destroyed. He ends the speech with a calm "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." A man stands up and throws a stone... at the circus master. The rest of the crowd quickly follows suit.

The event becomes significant later, as it puts her in touch with The Heroine Yoko and a group of mercenary resistance fighters. This is made even more significant in Shoukei's Character Development as Shoukei's father, the former tyrant of a nearby kingdom, had an old woman's son executed for doing the exact same thing, and when said old woman told Shoukei this, she defended her father - it probably didn't help that she was in denial and being beaten by said grieving mother. Via being the only one who protested against said execution, Shoukei was showing how she was outgrowing her selfish behavior and was willing to do something against such injustice.

This gets to Jordan as his will begins to fade and thus also his ring's power until it almost goes out. However, one of the humans he is defending blindsides the Manhunter with a thrown snowball noting that she will defy him. From that outburst, Green Lantern's faith in his cause is restored and the ring's power shifts from fading out to blazing fury, curb stomping the Manhunter.

Mary then proceeds to put a serious hurt on Alex and completely ignoring the fact that Louise is even still in the room. This turns out to be a big, big mistake on Typhoid Mary's part.

Defiant Stone Throw / int_ac1a6292	comment	In the Prisoner of War film Stalag 17, the Commandant of the camp is standing on some boards to keep his boots nice and clean during the morning speech after two prisoners were killed trying to escape. While the Commandant was speaking ill of them and saying in a condescending tone how he will show how nice he is after this "incident" by letting the men have warm baths for lice, a Christmas Tree, and there might even be snow, one prisoner throws not a stone but an ocarina from another prisoner into the mud puddle to dirty the Commandant's boots he worked to keep nice and clean by walking on planks of wood on the muddy ground set out just for him.

Defiant Stone Throw / int_bfef9cdb	comment	Welcome to Night Vale: In episode 49, Leann Hart throws Sara Sultan, president of the Night Vale Community College, at some of the attacking Strex workers, to great effect. It falls under this trope because Sara Sultan happens to be a smooth, fist-sized river rock. This trope is also played straight with twelve-year-old Tamika Flynn in Episode 36. The rock actually does something there too, in this case taking down a yellow Strex Corp helicopter.
