A Stock Phrase generally used for one of two reasons, dependent on whether good or evil is currently acting. A. Good — Sadistic Choice The Captain is forced to make a decision where there is no third option and the cavalry most certainly won't save the day. Thousands, or perhaps millions will die. The only other choice is to let the enemy overrun the area, potentially killing everyone or capturing vital resources. This form generally creates Heroic Self-Deprecation, and in especially severe cases, a Heroic BSoD. He'll also often suffer from Flashback Nightmares. B. Evil — Horrific Realization The Big Bad has capabilities that no one has ever imagined. He has the ability to slaughter everyone, take over the world, or what have you, and the only thing required for success is simply a bit of time. It would take a miracle from The Hero to even come close to curbing the assault, let alone win. In some cases, the situation really is hopeless, and everyone has to simply sit back and watch in abject horror as events take place. Either case will usually result in massive loss of life, and in some cases, destruction on a global scale. Many times the action taken is the respective side's last resort. And given that it's a last resort there is little chance that anyone will ask Was It Really Worth It? due to the stakes being that absurdly high. |

Subverted in The Simpsons when Ned's childhood psychologist hears about Ned's breakdown he says "May God have mercy on us all" as if it would likely result in a huge body count (which given his breakdown earlier, seemed quite possible). But shortly after, he finds out he left his shoes in the den and replies "May God have mercy on us all". | |

Vikings. Seeing only a small advance force, King Aelle is quite confident that he can beat the Vikings until the rest of the Great Heathen Army marches over the hill. (When you read the following quote, keep in mind that King Aelle is an extremely devout man.) | |

In Crimson Tide, The Captain, Ramsey, believes they should launch their nuclear missiles immediately to obliterate the terrorist faction in Russia. The XO, Hunter, argues that they should get confirmation before starting a nuclear holocaust as they were in the middle of receiving a message that was interrupted due to Hot Sub-on-Sub Action. Ramsey and Hunter had just led different factions of the SSBN Alabama in mutinies and counter-mutinies in order to stop what each side believes to be the worst possible move by the other side. Eventually, Ramsey finally agrees to go back and get the transmission. It is an order to abort the launch. | |

Independence Day used a variation of type A when President Whitmore was forced to try the Nuclear Option on an alien ship above Houston, Texas: "May our children forgive us." It's even more painful in the novelization which quite bluntly states that Houston wasn't fully evacuated before the nuke detonated. Before that point, a news anchorman reporting the destruction of the helicopter sent to communicate with the aliens said straight out, "God help us all." |

World in Conflict: One mission has the player defending Fort Teller from a massive Soviet assault. The Soviets believe the Fort had the American's anti-nuke program but the Americans know it's a bust. They have to stop the Soviets from taking the Fort and realizing this thus leading to millions of deaths from Nuclear strikes on major cities. The player is ultimately overwhelmed with an overwhelming force of Soviet tanks on the way. Colonel Sawyer is given authorization to nuke the area to stop the Soviets but Mark Bannon points out that if everyone retreats the Russians will know something is up. Bannon stays behind to hold the Soviets off and the player orders the strike. After doing so Sawyer utters this phrase knowing full well the necessity of it. It's also used in multiplayer when you call in a nuclear strike. | |

Law & Order: UK. The detectives enter a building that has been torched. As they climb the stairs, Devlin covers his mouth with his scarf to block out the stench of smoke. But as they reach the main room, the camera zooms in on his face as he drops the scarf and gasps, "God have mercy". Cut to a long shot of several dozen bodies draped in white sheets, laid out on the floor. | |
