I've Come Too Far | comment |
In a moment of crisis, a hero or a villain might look back and declare: "I've come too far..." to stop now. This is a desperate kind of determination. A common variant on the phrase is, "We haven't come this far just to give up now!" A frequent reason for why a villain may not do a Heel–Face Turn and have an Ignored Epiphany instead. They may cross the Moral Event Horizon as a result. It may also be a case where the villain realizes that he's evil but feels he's gone too far to deserve redemption or even a shred of sympathy from a third party. Alternatively, they may realize they already have crossed the Moral Event Horizon, so why bother turning around now? This is occasionally a case of the Sunk Cost Fallacy, in which you reason that everything you sacrificed was for nothing unless you sacrifice even more to reach your goal. If you've come so far that reaching your goal requires only a tiny push, it's "more economical", so to speak, to go through with it. Compare Tiger by the Tail, where they can't turn back without terrible consequences. Also compare Beyond Redemption, where it's a hero deciding that a villain's gone too far to be helped. Contrast Be All My Sins Remembered, where they maintain a similar mindset but are still capable of redeeming themselves. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Geoffrey St. John has been working as Ixis Naugus' apprentice for years, trying to make him king of the Kingdom of Acorn under the belief he could strengthen the kingdom and prevent the deaths of many people. He ultimately succeeds, but finds out the hard way he made a terrible mistake and Naugus is just a power-hungry tyrant when he discovers Naugus intends Mass Hypnosis to subject the Council to his will, an equivalent of roboticization; sadly, he's prevented from turning on him when Naugus points out Geoffrey has burnt all his bridges and none of the Freedom Fighters would believe him if he tried to tell them. Realizing he's come too far and has no other options, Geoffrey solemnly agrees, even telling Silver as such when he tries to recruit him for help. | |

Angel: The main villain of Season 3, Daniel Holtz, is a vampire hunter whose life was utterly destroyed by Angelus; his entire motive throughout the season is getting revenge on Angel for doing so, soul or not, and making him suffer by any means possible, up to kidnapping Angel's newborn son Connor, taking him to a hell dimension, and raising him as a Tyke-Bomb to make him hate Angel and eventually kill him. In the penultimate episode, Holtz and Connor return to Earth, and he convinces his Dragon Justine to help kill him in a manner that frames Angel for the deed as part of his final revenge. Holtz's final words make it clear he realizes how far he's fallen and that he's most likely going to Hell for what he's done, but he sees no reason to stop anymore. | |

If one early conversation with her does not go the right way (ordering her to spare the life of a traitor) later pleas for reason invoke this trope. | |

Attack on Titan: This is at least part of what drives Reiner and Bertolt to continue their mission regardless of personal feelings or growing doubts. After everything they've already done, the only thing they believe is left for them to do is complete their mission or die trying. After the four-year Time Skip, this is the stance that Eren Yaeger has taken. They know their actions are just as atrocious as what the above-mentioned have done, they are going against their own ethics, and are willing to throw themselves past the Moral Event Horizon, if it means that their extreme actions result in peace for the people they wish to protect. |

In Future Diary, Yukiteru begins wholesale slaughtering of bystanders and eventually killing his closest friends in his quest to become Deus' successor. His justification for Jumping Off the Slippery Slope is that once he becomes God, he can resurrect all the people he killed. Unfortunately, death isn't cheap, and while he may be able to restore their bodies, he cannot bring back their souls, and at best he would only have lifeless shells - a fact Yuno knows only too well, since she won the game in an Alternate Universe and traveled to the current one after failing to resurrect Yuki. | |

Supernatural: Invoked by Lilith on Sam, daring him to use his demon-fueled powers to kill her since it would be a waste for him to turn himself into a monster for the purpose of killing her and then get cold feet at the last second. This successfully goads Sam into killing her, therefore releasing Lucifer. All according to plan. Lilith herself seems to begin having second thoughts about freeing Lucifer as she gets closer to breaking the required amount of seals, though this is mostly because she herself must die in order for him to be free rather than due to any remorse. Unfortunately, she soon resigns herself to her fate once everything's in order. |

In Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker tries to convince his father, Darth Vader, to make a Heel–Face Turn. Vader says "It is... too late for me, son." He's already realized that what he's doing is wrong, but believes he's so far beyond the possibility of redemption that it would be pointless to try. Later in the movie, he changes his mind when Luke is about to be murdered by the Emperor. Redemption Equals Death ensues. Later works would turn this into Vader's defining character trait. By the time of the original trilogy, there is nothing left of Anakin Skywalker but hatred - of himself, most of all - but he feels that he is too far beyond redemption. |

Spider-Man (PS4): Martin Li/Mister Negative has a vendetta against Norman Osborn, but it's hinted at several times throughout the game that he isn't as fully committed to it as he'd like to be. When snooping around his office, Peter finds a journal entry written on the day of Fisk's arrest, as well as an audio recording, where he openly questions if he can actually go through with his plan, knowing full well that if he succeeds, all the good he has done with the F.E.A.S.T. Foundation will be ruined. He even contemplates turning back and acknowledges his actions are he's becoming a monster, but ultimately concludes it's too late. | |

In The Order of the Stick, Redcloak forces himself to believe that every goblin (including his brother) that died in service to The Plan has been necessary, unlike his brother, who felt that years after they brought Xykon in they should have eliminated him and tried something else. The advantage of this is that he can go on denying any responsibility for the horrific things he has done in the name of the plan, and both Xykon and Right-Eye have pointed this out to him. When he's offered a chance to get everything he ever wanted, he refuses because it would mean it was All for Nothing... or, to put it another way, that he was wrong. | |

The player gets what is essentially a moment of this during Undertale's True Final Boss: If your health reaches 0, the normal animation of your SOUL breaking in half begins to play... only instead of it shattering into pieces, it reforms with the message "But it refused." and you return to full health, indicating that your sheer determination is preventing you from giving up when the whole Underground's fate is on the line. | |

Resident Evil 2 (Remake): In the Ghost Survivors DLC, you play as a Red Shirt USS operative code-named "Ghost" sent on a mission to retrieve Golgotha Virus from Dr. Birkin. The whole mission goes south after Birkin injects himself with the same virus and kills Ghost's entire squad one by one. As a Sole Survivor, instead of escaping the facility that's about to self-destruct empty-handed, he fights through hordes of zombies to get the virus and finish his mission. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, Zeheart Galette has seen many comrades die, often at his command, for the sake of Lord Ezelcant's Project Eden. When he later finds out that Project Eden is not a cause he agrees with, he pushes on trying to fulfill it regardless, because if he didn't, then all the lives he sacrificed would be for nothing. He repeatedly tells himself that he's come too far to stop now as he orders more and more people to their deaths, which of course only compounds the problem. | |

A phrase often said by Litchi Faye-Ling in BlazBlue, she's done too much in trying to save Arakune, including corrupting herself to the same corruption that turned him to the creature he is, and later on, joining the NOL main branch that she personally is uneasy with. If she would stop like how everyone told her to, then all the things she has done to herself would be in vain and she would be doomed with the fate of dying earlier than everyone else or at worst, becoming the next Arakune. That being said, unlike most examples, she's capable of feeling remorse of what she must do (and does show it), but treated it like it was the only path available for her. Interestingly, both the second and third games show that she hasn't gone too far. While the example in the second game can be chalked up to it being non-canon, the third game Retcons it in the middle of the game because the main characters were Trapped by Mountain Lions in what was otherwise the climax, sending her back to the villain's side and having her not attempt her previous (and effective) plan that she did hours before for no reason. | |

Broken, mutilated, having lost all status, he ultimately decides to sacrifice the Band of the Hawk so he can become Femto, a member of the immortal Godhand. Even when shown with a semi-idyllic future where he lives peacefully with Casca, he finds he cannot abandon his dream when the Godhand show him a vision in which he steps over the corpses of those who have already died following him. | |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Fire Lord Sozin is implied to have felt at the end of his life that his life was a waste. Even though he regretted beginning the Hundred Year War, causing genocides, and betraying his best friend to his death, he had simply grown too old to change anything or try to make amends for what he had done. He ultimately died humbled and regretful, unable to take any joy in his accomplishments and only able to think back to a time "everything was so much brighter". In the sequel comics, it's implied Azula has a subconcious version of this going on; when confronted with spirit visions that urge her to seek redemption, she is visibly freaked out but doubles down on her worldview that redemption and apologies are for the weak. Since the visions were only using her own thoughts as a basis, this can be interpreted as Azula deep down knowing full well that she's in the wrong but feeling she has done too much. |

In Final Fantasy XIII-2, Serah is sent to a Lotus-Eater Machine by Caius Ballad. Once there, she is offered a choice by an illusion of her sister, Lightning, to stay with her there in that world. If the player accepts the choice, it results in a Paradox Ending, followed by being dumped back to the same scenario. Once the player finally has her refuse Lightning's offer, she narrates that she couldn't do it, that everyone else had given her hope and there was no way she could desert them. | |

In Gundam Build Divers, this is Ayame's reasoning for trying to stick with the Break Decal mastermind's plans as she's ruined so many people's fun in GBN for the mastermind's drive to destroy GBN just so she can try to get back a beloved Gunpla that she feels she can't accept a Heel–Face Turn. Thankfully for Ayame, Riku and Sarah are stubborn and kind-hearted enough to help her through and make the turn. |

In Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, just as Judge Turpin enters his establishment, allowing him to bring his revenge scheme to fruition, Sweeney is pestered again by the Beggar Woman. Declaring "I have no time!", he slits her throat and goes to meet with the judge. It's not that this was really more evil than his usual actions (he had been killing his customers for some time), but it still shows him being willing to sacrifice others to achieve his goals and it comes back to bite him, as the Beggar Woman turns out to be Sweeney's wife- the entire reason for his revenge plan. | |

In Code Geass, Lelouch justifies his uncertainty about the Zero Requiem plan by claiming that too many people have been sacrificed for them to stop. This would ordinarily not fit the trope, except that he was responsible for many of those sacrifices. For that, he makes sure his own sacrifice is the very last. | |

Game of Thrones: After Theon Greyjoy spends a whole season kicking dogs to better fit in with his brutal family, and the payoff is finally inevitable: In season 3, Theon acknowledges that the Starks were his real family, not the Greyjoys, but by that point, he's done so much to hurt them that he knows they will never accept him again. In Season 6, Jaime Lannister seems aware that his continuing support for his sister Cersei is this. His exhausted, sad tone suggests that some part of him knows Cersei is insane and her obsessive pursuit of power is dragging him and all of Westeros to hell with her, but he feels their relationship has gone on too long for him to turn on her now. |

Whispered Tribulation: Aizawa and his co-conspirators refuse to accept the notion that he might have leapt to all the wrong conclusions about Izuku, as they already kidnapped and attempted to torture a False Confession out of him. Admitting they were wrong would mean facing that their horrific treatment of one of U.A.'s students was All for Nothing, so they double down. | |

The Avengers (2012): Loki says this almost word for word to Fury when Fury tries to convince him not to declare war on Earth. Later in the movie, Thor tries to convince his brother to change sides and help to stop the destruction caused by the army that was lent to him, but Loki answers that it's not possible to stop the army anymore. Thor assures him that they can do it together but Loki hesitates for a moment before stabbing Thor with a small dagger and fleeing since he still believes that he has gone too far for redemption. |

The events of this story's premise have so soured him to the concept of duty to his country that he figures he'll just have to do as much as he can before his time runs out. | |

By the time she's confronted with the horrible things she's done, she's already wasted her lifetime being selfish and abusive that the damage is just too grave for her to make amends. She even tells Catra it's simply too late for her to change her ways while Catra has her entire life ahead of her to make up for her own mistakes. | |

In the infamous ER episode "Love's Labor Lost", as Mark struggles with a complicated delivery, Susan urges him to wait for OB. Mark name-drops this trope, adding on "...and I'm going to see it through!" Unfortunately, what's meant to be a rallying cry for him ends up being completely averted — the woman dies and the baby barely survives. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In Season 4, the villainous Maggie Walsh says "I've come too far to let some little blonde stop me." She then activates her supersoldier prototype Adam, which promptly kills her. After releasing a magic plague over London, causing people to painfully mutate into monsters, Angel forces Whistler to look at what he's done to innocents in an attempt to get through to him. While he is briefly swayed and appears unsure, Whistler brushes it off, telling Angel that no matter what, he's come too far in his plans to stop now. |

Thankfully for Ayame, Riku and Sarah are stubborn and kind-hearted enough to help her through and make the turn. | |

Because of her love for Ben she desperately wants to join him as a Jedi, but after pulling a Pushed at the Monster on another Jedi to save his life, she convinces herself that there's no room for her in the Light and over the course of the series goes from Sith apprentice to full-fledged Sith Lord while still longing to rejoin Ben. Due to the fact that he had descendants it can be assumed she was eventually successful, but due to the Continuity Reboot after Star Wars: Crucible we may never know for sure. | |

In Poker, this is the basic idea behind being "pot committed." Basically, it's when a player has already bet so much of their available stack (of money, chips, or what have you) versus how much is already in the pot that folding is no longer a sound strategy no matter how low the odds of success are. The challenge is knowing when that point arrives; many players have busted out of tournaments for behaving as if they're pot committed (i.e. rather aggressive) when they should have played more conservatively. | |

The Beast That I Am: One of Keitaro's biggest issues is his reluctance to do anything that might change the status quo, such as punishing or evicting the abusive tenants or applying to another school. To his mind, that would invalidate all the years of effort he's already invested. Problem is, not only is the status quo incredibly toxic (for instance, the story opens with Naru assaulting Keitaro for daring to get changed in his own room), Shinobu gaining She-Hulk's powers means that things will change regardless of what he wants. | |

In the penultimate episode of Amphibia, Sprig reads King Andrias a letter from his ancestor and Andrias' best friend, Leif, encouraging him to open his heart and not let himself grow cold. The realization that Leif still remembered and loved him until the end of her life causes Andrias to collapse to his knees, crying that the things he has done has made him Beyond Redemption. Unusually for this trope, he does survive and become The Atoner, although it's clear that he does not expect forgiveness. | |

By the latter part of the third disc of Final Fantasy VIII, it's clear to everyone including Seifer himself that there's no longer anything he could possibly stand to gain from continuing to oppose Squall and company. When confronted for the third and final boss fight against him, however, he refuses to back down, declaring that he's come too far to turn back now, even though his victory condition would now mean the end of the world. By the end of the game, while he is not at all reconciled with Squall, he has in fact turned back, and both of them have apparently decided to live and let live. | |

Elsa Schneider from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade comes too far in her quest to possess the Holy Grail to leave it behind. Despite Indiana's warnings not to take it, Elsa says, "But it's all our Indy, yours and mine" as she triggers a Cataclysm Climax. During the subsequent Literal Cliffhanger, Elsa reaches for the grail, but her hand comes up inches short. Meanwhile, Indiana tells her to stop because her glove is slipping off. But Elsa, seeing how close her hand is, desperately repeats, "I can reach it." Unwilling to give up the grail after coming so far, Elsa ultimately loses her life when the glove slips off and she falls. In the PC adventure game, Elsa replies to Indiana's continued warnings about the seal with "No! I don't believe it! I won't lose it now!" | |

In Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, Dr. Schroeder spends most of the game collecting flight data from each sortie that Mihaly takes in order to improve Erusea's drone army. However, at Anchorhead Bay, he witnesses first hand the chaos and destruction that the drone army has caused, and he also sees that the AIs controlling the drones are smarter than he had originally realized. Despite this, he uploads the data into the drone factory underneath the Lighthouse, because the project was nearing completion. He only relents when Ionela destroys the chip containing the data and calls him out on his motivations to avenge his homeland of Belka, though he admits that he cannot stop the upload he already started prior to their confrontation. | |
