When someone dies (or apparently dies or becomes indefinitely unconscious or is otherwise taken out of the picture), their friends and loved ones have to deal with the aftermath. With emotions likely to be running high, the survivors will be faced with a variety of options and temptations, depending on the situation. If they are at all thoughtful and respectful, they will sooner or later face the question: "What would the deceased have wanted?" In many cases, someone who is too caught up in grief and/or anger to think clearly will need to be reminded of this point by a cooler-headed friend. A few common possibilities of actions that they may consider — and then reconsider after realizing that the deceased would not have wanted them to do that: Roaring Rampage of Revenge: If someone is directly responsible for the death, friends of the deceased will be tempted to hunt down and kill the perpetrator. They may be dissuaded if the person they want to avenge did not approve of killing or was too nice to hold a grudge. The Mourning After: The deceased's spouse or lover may shut out any possibility of finding a new partner. They may eventually realize that their lost loved one would want them to move on with life. Taking Up the Mantle: The deceased might have left unfinished business for a friend to take up on his behalf. If this entails sacrificing his own happiness, he may come to understand that the deceased would want him to follow his own path rather than someone else's. Alternatively, he may come to realize that instead of upholding the departed's legacy, he actually threatens to undermine it or sully it with fanaticism or ruthlessness. The grieving character's response when this issue is raised generally comes down to one of two options: He decides (either through someone else's argument or his own realization) that what he intended to do is wrong, and refocuses his grief into something more constructive and consistent with the deceased's values. He replies with a Shut Up, Kirk!, usually something along the lines of "Too bad he's not here to stop me, then." or "The dead don't care what we do", though it can also be along the lines of "not doing this got them killed". The "avenge the dead (whether they would have wanted it or not)" option is particularly popular with anti-heroes, and in extreme cases may become a point of no return. Related to Morality Chain, with the memory of the deceased taking that role in place of a living companion. Also related to What You Are in the Dark: realizing what the deceased would think of your actions (or perhaps believing that the deceased is watching from the afterlife) provides extra pressure to pass the test (or extra angst after failing). Compare What Would X Do? (where X usually isn't a deceased friend, and the problem is usually practical rather than emotional or moral), Due to the Dead (giving the deceased a respectful funeral and proper mourning), Last Request (where the deceased specifically states a final wish), and Spirit Advisor (where the deceased personally advise the living). Contrast with The Dark Side Will Make You Forget. |

In Twig, Jamie had functioned as The Conscience for Sylvester prior to his Death of Personality, since Sylvester is morally a Blank Slate who adopts the characteristics of those around him. After Jamie is lost, Sy becomes increasingly more ruthless to fit the less moral tone of his other companions. However, when holding a hostage at gunpoint, Sy realizes that, in fact, he doesn't want to do this, and forces himself to hallucinate a spectre of Jamie to tell him not to, convincing him to spare the hostage. | |

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows reveals that Lily Evans Potter was this for Severus Snape throughout the series. Snape was a loyal Death Eater and follower of Voldemort, and he was a natural fit for the Dark Arts—that is, until Voldemort murdered Lily, the love of Severus' life, even after Lily rejected him and married James Potter. Snape winds up as Dumbledore's most valued agent, risking his life for years and eventually being killed, all for love of Lily. | |

In the first season of Arrow, Oliver tries to talk to Thea about her drug problems saying it isn't what their father would want for her, only for her to blow him off with "the dead don't want anything". In the Season 5 Premier, Oliver has started killing people again in wake of Laurel's death. Thea gives him a What the Hell, Hero? over it saying "This is not what she would want", only for him to repeat her above saying; and justify it by pointing out if he had used lethal force when he had the chance, Laurel would still be alive. |

In Kaze no Stigma, when Kazuma encounters the group that killed his beloved Cui Ling several years ago, he promptly goes from 'Anti-Hero' to 'Villain Protagonist', restarting the Roaring Rampage of Revenge that originally earned him the nickname 'Reaper of the Winds'. After finding out the backstory, Ayano confronts him and tells him that she wouldn't have wanted him to act like that. His response is to basically shrug and say "I know that, but she's dead, so she doesn't feel a thing. Meanwhile, I'M enjoying it." | |

The Simpsons: Parodied when Homer accidentally kills his pet lobster Pinchy by putting him in a hot bath. He is then seen crying his eyes out while eating the lobster's remains, to which he says "Pinchy would have wanted it this way." Also parodied when Mr. Burns is shot. Smithers says that "As Montgomery Burns' closest friend, I am certain there's nothing he would want more than swift, brutal revenge against Homer Simpson." |

Wonder Woman is ready to put a fist through his head when Flash runs up to stop her: In "A Better World", Justice Lord Batman wins an argument against Justice League Batman by claiming that under the iron-fisted Knight Templar rule of the Justice Lords, they've created a world where no young boy will ever have to see his parents gunned down in front of him, which League Batman has no comeback for.

In "True Colors," Blake, after having tried every other argument to convince Ilia that what she's doing is not the way, finally asks her if her parents would have wanted this or would approve of what she's doing; Ilia instantly breaks down in tears, admitting she doesn't know what else to do.

Tony simply gags Jack's mouth shut and continues on with his plan. At the end of Day 8, Jack's about to end his revenge spree by assassinating the President of Russia for being the mastermind behind the terrorist attacks on New York as well as in retaliation for the murder of Renee Walker, but Chloe reminds him of the consequences that would follow and asks him if that's would Renee would want. This ultimately convinces Jack to call off killing him and follow her plan instead. |

In the Heavensward scenario in Final Fantasy XIV, Hraesvelgr, a dragon, is kept in check by his deceased love, Shiva, an Elezen woman. Before Shiva died, she asked Hraesvelgr to eat her so their souls can be intertwined. Due to bad blood between dragons and man over the past 1000 years, Hraesvelgr has very low opinions of mankind and if it wasn't for Shiva's influence on him, he would have joined his brethren in slaughtering man. | |

In All Mixed Up!, Oscar invokes this trope in order to snap Otto out of a Heroic BSoD, which he goes into after finding out that Olive has been attacked and anagrammed by Mariana Mag. The Scientist tells him that they should bring Olive back to Precinct 13579's Headquarters before going to Mariana Mag's aquarium to warn Oprah and the other agents, stating that it's what Olive would have wanted them to do. It takes great effort, but Otto manages to regain himself and follows Oscar's lead. | |

In one episode of Xena: Warrior Princess, Autolycus is hellbent on killing the villain of the week who is the same man who murdered Autolycus' beloved older brother who practically raised him. Autolycus' thieving career began when he robbed the villain blind in revenge. Xena is worried that Autolycus actually killing the man might start him on a career as an assassin (noting that with his skills in disguise and infiltration, he'd be one of the best). She convinces Autolycus to stop by asking him what his brother would have wanted, reminding him that while the villain may have made him the thief, it was his brother who gave the thief his heart. Xena asks him if it was the heart of a murderer. | |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: The Bounty Hunter storyline has Braden, your mentor and de facto father to Mako being murdered by rival bounty hunter Tarro Blood. At the end of the Chapter 1 arc, when you finally see Tarro locked up aboard a Republic cruiser that you've been assigned to blow up (after you kill a Jedi on board), he will try to goad you into letting him out so you can fight mano y mano. He'll tell you it's what Braden would want. But Mako says Braden would want to see him just as he is, trapped and humiliated and without the option of a big showdown. The decision is up to the player, let him fight you or leave him to die on the ship. | |

In The Adventure Zone: Balance, Julia is this for Magnus. Magnus admits that even though he wants nothing more than to use the Temporal Chalice to prevent Julia's death, doing so would not be what Julia wanted, and so he refuses. When they reunite in the afterlife, he says that he was always trying to be a person she'd be proud of. | |

Ultimatum: Magneto uses his powers to alter the Earth's axis, causing widespread devastation and natural disasters across the world. On top of that, he also confronts Professor Xavier and snaps his neck. When confronted and forced to restore the planet's axis, Magneto pleads for forgiveness from the X-Men, stating Charles would have done so. In response, Cyclops spitefully reminds him that he killed Professor X, and with him gone, no one will ever forgive Magneto before blasting his head off with his Eye Beams. | |

Superman: In The Death of Superman, Batman catches a terrorist trying to assassinate one of the visiting dignitaries at Superman's funeral. Out of respect for the deceased, he forgoes his usual harsh approach. Depending on the continuity, Ma and Pa Kent are this to Superman. Anytime where the current canon has one or both of them deceased, their memory and the fact that they were very good parents keep Clark on the straight and narrow, which is a good thing considering how powerful he is, and there have been more than a few non-canon stories about what would happen if he let go of his fetters. In The Hunt for Reactron, Supergirl feels greatly tempted to stand aside and let Flamebird kill her father's murderer; but she talks Flamebird down because her father Zor-El would want justice, not revenge. |

In Shadowrun Returns Dragonfall, you can point this out to the Big Bad regarding his dead brother, who was killed by The Dragon without the Big Bad's knowledge. In the Director's Cut, this appeal will actually work if you have also done your research on his plan, convincing him that his brother wouldn't have let him gamble the entirety of humanity on such uncertain premises. | |

Naruto: Itachi took great measures to act like this for his younger brother Sasuke. First, he grants him the power of Amaterasu, setting it to go off upon encountering Tobi (who knows the Awful Truth about why Itachi murdered their entire clan). He also implanted a crow inside Naruto that had Shisui's eye, which was meant to give the hypnotic command "Protect Konoha" to Sasuke, assuming that he'd taken Itachi's eyes to avoid going blind from overusing the Mangekyou. Sadly, it's averted; despite knowing full well that his brother wanted their homeland to be protected, Sasuke instead swore to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and wipe out Konoha and everyone living there. True, he ultimately gets better, but it's not because of anything Itachi said or did; even when his resurrected brother gets one last chance to talk with him, Sasuke completely dismisses his wishes. Even after the four previous Hokage talk him down, Sasuke simply switches goals towards uniting the world through fear of his wrath. Everything Itachi did to try and put him on a better path would've been All for Nothing if Naruto wasn't so stubborn about saving Sasuke by being his friend instead. | |

Two unusual examples in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, one for each of the titular heroes. For Superman, who is faced with the possibility that he was never a "real" hero because of all the death and destruction that follows wherever he goes, a conversation with his dead father reminds him that there will always be unintended consequences and that he shouldn't allow that to stand in the way of the "dream of some farmer from Kansas". In Batman's case, he's sacrificed his moral code for what he believes to be the greater good of preventing a possible future where Superman destroys and/or takes over the world. During his fight with the Man of Steel, though, he's reminded that the reason he became a hero in the first place was to save lives, not to take them, by way of Superman accidentally invoking the memory of Batman's dead mother. |

In Chrono Trigger the protagonist, Chrono, is seemingly lost to Lavos in a battle. Soon after the party meets Magus, who is indirectly responsible for Chrono's fate, and Magus agrees to fight the party with his now greatly reduced powers, virtually ensuring his death if he does so. Should the player choose to spare Magus, and if Marle is at the head of the party, she will comment that Chrono wouldn't want them to engage in such a useless and pointless battle. If Frog is the leader, he'll comment that killing Magus won't bring Crono or Cyrus from the dead before turning his back on him. | |

The perp tossed the leather pants down to his brother and they hit him in the head, killing him. When the cops arrest the surviving brother selling the shirts and pants out of the trunk of his car the next day, they question the morality of doing so.

In Not a Villain, Kleya's drive to stop being a villain and become a hero seems to be largely driven by memories of her mother and a desire to become what her mother would want her to be. Her insistence on always wearing pink and yellow, and on playing Erbana despite its low publicity, are due to trying to emulate her mother. (Of course, a simpler desire to simply stop having society at large view her as a villain is another strong factor in her actions.) | |

A non-violent example from Otoboku - Maidens Are Falling For Me — the Genki Girl Yukari is attending the school because her idolized late 'onee-san' went there and joined the track team for the same reason. She's actually quite athletic, but her build and temperament lend itself best to short-distance sprints. Out of admiration for her dead sister, however, she insists on running the same long-distance races as she did, pushing herself to reach the same times despite being built differently. Naturally, it's Mizuho who has to gently remind her that her sister would have wanted her to do what she likes, instead of just blindly following in her footsteps... | |

My Little Pony (2022): Fluttershy is shown to have this effect on Discord in the first comic arc. Many centuries after Fluttershy had passed on, Discord — witnessing the collapse of Equestria thanks to Opaline stowing division among ponies because of their different types of magic — begins to see magic as the source of Equestria's problems and should be destroyed to preserve harmony, which he believes Fluttershy would have wanted. This belief is challenged in issue 10 when he's shown Fluttershy's message she recorded for him, reminding him that ponies' different kinds of magic should be embraced because they let every pony be their most authentic selves and make the world a better place. Heartbroken, Discord gives up on his quest to destroy magic, and the new generation of ponies promise they'll help him bring back the harmony he and Fluttershy want for Equestria. | |
