Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Yes. A younger, more naive, or just plain stupid character says something would be cool to a more experienced character who may or may not have been through the experience. The more experienced character then goes to lengths to explain just how not cool that experience would actually be. He or she then asks the Naïve Newcomer if they still think it would be cool. Unless it's a subversion, the answer is generally a resounding "no". (And contexts in which the answer would be yes would be a Blunt "Yes" by their very nature.) Useful in many functions of drama. For one, it immediately shows the more experienced character to be the older and wiser of the two. It may be used in a Deconstruction to show just how awful a seemingly incredibly cool thing would be in real life. And of course, it can actually be quite funny to see the more experienced character completely terrify the younger one with a horrifically descriptive summary of the activity as the younger one desperately tries to backpedal on their stance. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A common version is for the New Meat imagining that War Is Glorious to be corrected by the Shell-Shocked Veteran that no, War Is Hell. Of course, frequently it's subverted as the younger character places a rebuttal on exactly why it is still cool. Or, when the "fun" is particularly nasty, having that character think it fun because of all the trouble it brings. Also see Wasn't That Fun?. Examples: |

Trilby from Chzo Mythos has an exchange like this with Siobhan in Trilby's Notes. She thinks going into the game's Dark World would be glamorous, but as he tries to tell her, it's not so much glamorous as it is utterly terrifying. | |

In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the entire relationship between Snake and Raiden boils down to this. Raiden wants to be a cool action hero like Snake, even playing through his most famous missions in VR training. Snake dedicates almost every second of every interaction they have to showing him that being the protagonist of a Metal Gear game is not fun. And even when the not fun things happen to Raiden, it still doesn't get through. The ending of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots seemed to imply he'd finally learned and was ready to settle down with his family, but... | |

In The Wolfhound the titular hero gets to listen to his young traveling companion boasting about how much fun it will be to finally slaughter the rival tribe after he's reunited with his highlander relatives. Sick of this, Wolfhound enquires if the kid has ever actually seen a settlement slaughtered to the last man. Unlike the kid, he has, and proceeds to share his memory thereof. This promptly makes the kid shut up and seriously re-evaluate his views. | |

In Harry Potter, Hermione says she wishes she was able to see thestrals (winged horses that are only visible to people who have "seen death"). Harry rather bitterly points out that what she's implying is that she wishes she'd lost a loved one. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: In keeping with the series' Deconstructor Fleet nature, this is the subtext of Shinji's early interactions with Toji and Keisuke, and is a Central Theme to the series overall. While the exact details are... complicated, no sane person would EVER willingly pilot an EVA Unit once they knew what it involved. | |

Kamen Rider Ryuki has a particularly pointed example. After seeing one of the Riders transform, a young boy thinks it would be cool to become a Rider himself. Ren responds by letting the boy watch him fight a monster... and allowing it to beat the crap out of him (Ren). | |

One of the conversations in Poker Night at the Inventory has Strong Bad ask the Heavy Weapons Guy for "the most awesome story [he has] with plenty of super cool senseless violence," with Max listening in glee. Heavy tells them a depressing story about a sparrow a young boy killed in his assassination camp, and how he heard its last breath before burying it in the snow. After hearing that, the two seemed to no longer see the Heavy's profession as cool, and Tycho, usually being a sociopath himself, was brought to tears. | |

In Chapter 2 of Deltarune, Susie, Noelle, and Berdly decide that their adventures in the Dark World are so fun and fulfilling that they're going to open another Dark Fountain so they can live there. Ralsei interrupts sharply and in a deadly serious tone explains exactly what is prophesied to happen if there are too many Dark Fountains. It will wake massive Titans who will devastate the land to start with. Then, darkness will blot out the sky, and it will turn the Darkners to stone. The Lightners will be left to fend for themselves in a desolate world of eternal night. He finishes this narration by saying "Is that your idea of paradise?" | |

In the second season of the After Hours series, Spiderman is a Hero-Worshipper to Batman. Bats eventually gets frustrated with it and demands to know why Parker has been "following me around like a lost puppy for the last few months" and Spidey gushes about how cool Batman is and how he wants to be friends with Bats. Batman launches into a speech about how he's a Broken Ace crossed with Knight in Sour Armor, emotionally stunted, and will probably Die Alone. At the end he asks if that sounds "cool" to Spidey. Spidey thinks it's the coolest thing that Batman has ever said to him. | |

Independence Day: The president delivers one to the head scientist of Area 51 when the latter comments that the last 24 hours have been really exciting. The president doesn't believe the destruction of every major American city and the deaths of millions of people world-wide is "exciting". Subverted in that the scientist wasn't referring to the destruction, he was referring to the alien space ship in their custody acting up. | |

Exterminatus Now: Lothar Hex, the Trope Namer, is shown giving a fairly horrific one to a panda kid. Subverted in that the kid is as enthusiastic about bionics as ever, leading to Lothar kicking yet another innocent creature into oncoming traffic. Kick The Panda, anyone? Happens earlier with Jamilla chewing the gang out for calling the Exterminatus "cool" rather than her definition of it, "horrifying". The comic seems fond of subverting this one. |

Riddick gives this sort of speech to Jack in Pitch Black when she asks him how she can get cool eyes like that. It ultimately gets subverted through a Retcon in The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) as Jack goes off to do exactly what Riddick says... and finds out that he had been pulling her leg. The Escape from Butcher Bay game shows exactly how he got the eyes. It had nothing to do with any surgeon. However, the following games also suggest that he remembers it the way he does in the film as a sort of repressed memory, to explain the differing memory explanation. | |
