Never Speak Ill of the Dead	comment	Regardless of how disliked or embarrassing a person was in life, no matter how odd they were considered, or what crimes they had committed, the moment they leave this mortal coil, a Nostalgia Filter falls into place causing the deceased to be remembered as being better than they were, for the most part. For some people, the reasoning is that the dead person isn't here to defend themselves anymore, or at the very least cannot continue to do the unpleasant things they were reviled for anymore. An Asshole Victim can be "spared" this provided they were enough of an asshole. Alternatively, can be a justification for Alas, Poor Scrappy. Villains, particularly ones at the lighter end of the Sliding Scale of Antagonist Vileness, will sometimes extend the same courtesy to fallen heroes (particularly ones they regarded as a Worthy Opponent). Definitely Truth in Television, as the idea has been around since at least the 4th century. Whether or not it should be is rather contentious. Plenty of people seem to deride it for those they hate but invoke it for public figures they like. An alternative formulation, suggested by Christopher Hitchens (who loved speaking ill of the dead) is: "Never say anything nasty about the dead that you weren't brave enough to say while they were alive. Everything else is fair game." Genealogists are especially picky about this on both sides of the issue with some wanting to record everything about a person down to various brushes with the law that are recorded in old papers "Bob was cited for DUI in 1959, 1963, and 1964" versus paragraphs glorifying the person so much that there's little of actual historical value about the person "He was a great guy, and everyone loved him!" Even The Other Wiki has to point out that it is not a memorial site. See also Treachery Cover-Up, Dead Artists Are Better. If people choose to lie to preserve the departed's reputation, they're using The Power of Legacy. When this forces an ill-conceived compliment out of a character who otherwise has nothing nice to say about the deceased, it leads to Half-Baked Niceness. Contrast with Speak Ill of the Dead for the serious version and The "Fun" in "Funeral" for less serious ones. Compare Dude, Not Funny!, the idea that recent tragic events are off-limits for comedy. This is a Death Trope, so expect UNMARKED SPOILERS!

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_135f4195	comment	In the Dune novel, after Paul kills Jamis in a duel, the Fremen refuse to speak ill of Jamis, even though he had a history of violence and unethical behavior. Harah's nonchalant reaction to his death, as well as her sons' jubilant response to having Paul as their new father, suggests that they did not like Jamis. Contrast Harah and her sons' behavior with that of Chani, who openly grieves when her father dies.note Another interpretation of Harah's reaction is that the Fremen do not mourn the dead for long and see it as a natural consequence, even if it's death by single combat rather than the environment. (This may be Herbert showing his work: the Middle Eastern cultures from which the Fremen descend tend to have relatively short mourning periods—in Islam, the funeral is supposed to take place either immediately or the day after the person dies, and the actual mourning period is three days—although widows tend to get a few months of mourning—in part to make sure that the widow isn't pregnant with the deceased husband's child, but also because, you know, losing your husband is usually hard—making this somewhat different.)

This serves as Alec Trevelyan (the seemingly dead 006)'s motivation for getting revenge on England.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_17fa5f0a	comment	Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows subverts this trope with Albus Dumbledore, who was the previous book's Anyone Can Die victim. After his death, Rita Skeeter jumps on the chance to write about the revelations surrounding the deceased's past, such as his deceased sister and his implied romantic fling with Gellert Grindelwald, and the deceased's involvement in the creation of Grindelwald's Nazi ideals. Amazingly, Voldemort uses both angles to his advantage: one to discredit Dumbledore, the other to officially label Harry a possible suspect for the deceased's murder, legitimizing the Ministry's pursuit of the Boy-Who-Lived.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_18acb3a5	comment	The death of Judge Carl Robertson in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air subverted this. Despite humiliating Phil in an election, he agrees to do his eulogy, as Robertson had mentored Phil when he was starting out (which is a big reason why his savage campaign hurt Phil so much). Phil and Will try to do this trope, but just about everyone at his funeral has bones to pick with him and all express how they're glad he's dead. Will eventually chastises everyone for speaking ill of the dead. One of them asks who he is and Will responds that he's the one who killed him (Robertson died from a heart attack immediately after Will told him to "drop dead"). Everybody claps. Will eventually gives up, saying "tough room".

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_1937dd14	comment	The Sentry: After the death of the Sentry, he got an entire one-shot dedicated to people talking about what a fantastic, wonderful person he was, even though he had spent the last year as a pawn of Norman Osborn antagonizing most of the heroes right and left, and directly prior to his death gave up completely to his Superpowered Evil Side, destroyed Asgard, killed Ares (who had just pulled a Heelâ€“Face Turn) and almost murdered them all. Yet the closest we get to anybody saying anything bad about him is Ben Grimm admitting he hated Bob...because Bob was a better man than him. Made worse when Rogue reveals she lost her virginity to Sentry. If you keep an eye on continuity (Sentry was said to have gotten married around the time Reed Richard and Sue Storm did, Rogue showed up much later) it means he cheated on his wife with her. After that Mr. Fantastic saying he was the greatest of them all seems jarring.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Thunderbird died tragically in his second mission with the team, and it was pretty hard on them because they had never really suffered a loss before. For some reason it made them all forget how he badmouthed the rest of the team, was surly all the time, participated with an extreme form of Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, and probably would have ultimately been a negative influence on the group had he not died. Not to mention that his death was a result of his own hot-headedness. That said, in the Chaos Wars event, when some of the dead X-Men were temporarily resurrected he did call himself out on being a smug jerk and barely contributing anything to the team. Played straight with Professor X. After dying against Cyclops, everyone put aside that he could be a hypocrite when it came to abusing his powers and at times resorted to a number of morally questionable actions. Instead, all the heroes at his funeral and after were praising what a great guy he was and even Captain America told Cyclops to his face that he killed "one of the most decent men I have ever met". After the Phoenix 5 event, a lot of X-Men (besides Wolverine) and even quite a few Avengers wanted to get a shot at Cyclops for killing Xavier with Hawkeye threatening to shoot Cyclops in the head if he didn't stand down. They also seem to not acknowledge that Cyclops killed him in what was, more-or-less, self-defence, and that a number of the things they start scrutinising Scott for (namely, operating outside the law, performing vigilante actions against governments engaging in inhumane treatment of mutants, and recruiting college-aged mutants) were things he learnt to do from Xavier, and that Xavier turning Scott into a Child Soldier at 14 plays a big role in why he grew up the way he did. Averted when Cyclops himself dies. After more-or-less fixing his reputation off-screen during a time skip and becoming leader of mutant kind again, Scott dies a tragic and undignified death, succumbing to M-Pox almost immediately after exposure to Terrigen, but Emma Frost projects his image and makes it seem like he dies trying to fix the Terrigen mist so it doesn't harm mutants, an action that gets him "killed" by Black Bolt. For this, Scott is talked about and explicitly compared to being worse than Hitler, with even his teenaged self being disgusted in him.

He witnesses Clifton being caught and shot to death by the police. Deciding that his fallen friend deserves to be remembered in more than a police report, he mobilizes Harlem to give Clifton a public funeral. The Brotherhood, however, is incensed that "a traitorous merchant of vile instruments of anti-Negro, anti-minority racist bigotry has received the funeral of a hero".

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_2cee21d9	comment	Untold Tales of Spider-Man: Exaggerated Trope. Sally Avril was an awful person to Peter Parker in her life. She mocked and bullied him, didn't care about his uncle's death, and when she saw Liz talking to him (she was offering him her condolences) she coaxed Liz away rather than offer her own sympathy to Peter. When Jason Ionello attempted to prank Peter by stealing all the clothes in his gym bag while he's showering, she was the only one who approved of the prank when all of her friends thought Jason crossed the line from funny to overly cruel. She even tried to blackmail Peter when she became the superhero Bluebird to take her pictures. But when she died in a car accident trying to take pictures of a Spider-Man fight, Peter acted like he lost a good friend and wonderful person in his life. He talked about how she was vital and alive and fun to be around. While it's understandable why her friends miss her because they were also unpleasant people, Peter had no reason to mourn her. However, Peter blames himself for her death and it was implied that his guilt was causing him to project Sally as a better person than she was. It was only while talking with Johnny Storm, who pointed out that her death was not his fault and given her behavior she was likely to get herself killed sooner or later no matter what Spider-Man did or didn't do, did he let go of his guilt.

Trevor will even give his condolences to Jimmy and Amanda, both of who lost a father and a husband, despite hating Amanda almost as much as Michael. Notably, Michael's near-death at the hands of the Triads was completely Trevor's fault and wouldn't have happened if he hadn't messed with them earlier in the game.

With them facing negligence charges, Kilbride reveals to the man the mercs were extracting the woman as she was really a Chinese spy. He's keeping it quiet from the rest of the team as he doesn't want the woman's daughter to know her mother was a traitor and the rest of the team being fooled. The viewer then discovers that Kilbride is also keeping quiet that, in their final confrontation, the woman revealed she wasn't a traitor but had always been a spy using him. Kilbride clearly wants the team to avoid the pain of knowing they were conned by her just like Kilbride was and the only one who knows the woman everyone remembers as a victim was a spy.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_382ee557	comment	Played straight with Professor X. After dying against Cyclops, everyone put aside that he could be a hypocrite when it came to abusing his powers and at times resorted to a number of morally questionable actions. Instead, all the heroes at his funeral and after were praising what a great guy he was and even Captain America told Cyclops to his face that he killed "one of the most decent men I have ever met". After the Phoenix 5 event, a lot of X-Men (besides Wolverine) and even quite a few Avengers wanted to get a shot at Cyclops for killing Xavier with Hawkeye threatening to shoot Cyclops in the head if he didn't stand down. They also seem to not acknowledge that Cyclops killed him in what was, more-or-less, self-defence, and that a number of the things they start scrutinising Scott for (namely, operating outside the law, performing vigilante actions against governments engaging in inhumane treatment of mutants, and recruiting college-aged mutants) were things he learnt to do from Xavier, and that Xavier turning Scott into a Child Soldier at 14 plays a big role in why he grew up the way he did.

Prime specifically thinks about Ironhide inspiring others to not be as old and Southern as him, encouraging people to go into battle to avoid him threatening them with liquid nitrogen, and most wonderful times involving him being the product of Ironhide being drunk out of his mind.

This leads to Sam having an idealized but distant relationship with the mother who died when he was an infant. But when Sam witnesses a scene from Dean's memory in which four-year-old Dean consoles his mother after his father walked out for a time, Dean admits their parents marriage was not perfect. And when Mary is resurrected from the dead, she is revealed to be a good, but certainly flawed, person.

Before her death she arranged to have Raymond Holt — who was her biggest rival and hates her — lead her memorial as both she and he realises he can't bring himself to lie but that if he says what he truly thinks about her in front of other cops at her funeral he'll get himself fired. At the service he meets another rival of hers, Adam, and initially he's jealous but then they warm up to each other... until it's revealed that this is a ruse Adam was Wuntch's nephew and he recorded Ray's practice speech and showed it to the congregation. Then it turns out Holt had figured the ruse out and had actually enlisted a bunch of local improv groups to pretend to be mourners at a fake service. At the real service Ray finds a way to both be honest and respectful when he realises he misses the battle of wits between himself and Wuntch.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_49ad83ee	comment	Subverted in World of Warcraft when Sylvanas mocks a dead ally immediately after rescuing the player party from the same fate. She likewise mocks her own fallen champions for being killed by one of Arthas's lieutenants earlier in the instance. In The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm, this happens between Garrosh Hellscream and Baine Bloodhoof. The two constantly disagree while Cairne is alive, but after Garrosh kills Cairne in a duel to the death, partly the result of his weapon being poisoned, he laments not being able to defeat him fairly and remembers him as honorable. In the same book, we have the recently petrified Magni Bronzebeard, who was by and large a nice guy but whose sexist Heir Club for Men attitude left his daughter Moira with a huge chip on her shoulder that threatens to destroy Ironforge. King Varian insists upon this trope, but his son Anduin believes otherwise.

Despite her disappearance being largely her own fault, Donald and the triplets ignore her actions and put most of the blame on Scrooge for building the rocket. Even when Scrooge defends himself, he chooses to point out everything he did to try to save her rather than Della's poor choices. However, when Della gets back to Earth and reunites with the family, everybody starts to rightfully criticize her for her impulsive idiocy â€” especially Mrs. Beakley. Scrooge tries to give her the benefit of the doubt, up until "Raiders of the Doomsday Vault" when she exhibits the same traits that got her stranded on the moon, and he explodes over her immaturity.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_627b3897	comment	Played with in an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond in which Raymond is enlisted (reluctantly) to write a potential eulogy for his father. Ray tries at first to play the trope straight, only to give himself writer's block; he even interviews Frank's lodge buddies, who prove equally at a loss to say something positive about the man. Then, when Ray finally thinks of something nice to say (recalling an incident in which Frank was seen coddling and nurturing the boys' pet rabbit), Frank flies off the handle, saying it tarnishes his reputation to be portrayed with a sensitive side. It's at this point the trope is subverted (or would be subverted, if you will, since Frank is of course not dead), as everyone finally tells Frank off: the reason no one can think of nothing nice to say about him is that he is a complete Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk, and his eventual eulogy will likely say the same.

The best he can manage is that they used to be friends and his death is "inconvenient" (because Dalinar's a prime suspect). When someone comes out and says "Good riddance," the rest of the room at least have the tact to realize that's not exactly an appropriate response, even if they do agree. Gavilar Kholin maintains a reputation as The Good King largely because nobody is willing to speak ill of him after his assassination. Navani, his widow, feels too much guilt over wishing for his death to reveal his abusive behaviour to others and when she hints at it to Dalinar he shuts her down because he doesn't want to hear his brother's memory being smeared.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_79a1465e	comment	In Speaker for the Dead, the eponymous occupation is all about averting it. Orson Scott Card was irritated at the prevalent use of this trope in Real Life funerals and wanted someone to tell the truth about a dead person for once: that the deceased had bad moments as well as good ones. note Card points out that the reason he hated this trope is that people, essentially, reinvent the deceased, which is partly a revenge move to erase who they really were. He specifically mentions a Portuguese woman at a funeral he attended wailing (as per custom) over her terrible (and cheating) husband's body, claiming he was a good husband. Essentially, she was punishing him by erasing him. The trope is played more-or-less straight when Ender finally tells the full truth about a Love Martyr who became a bitter, angry man over the lie he had to live. He doesn't hide the fact that Marcos is a wife-beater and a drunk. While he doesn't say that Marcos was a good man, he points out that he did have admirable qualities, even though they were overshadowed by his being a complete asshole to everyone around him.

Mrs. Davis' sister Angela is psychologically ill, and feels a need for sympathy. Angela is told by her doctor that she'll live to be a hundred. Angela is annoyed at being told-off for her hypochrondia, and ends up telling Miss Brooks that she's dying. Miss Brooks resolves to throw Angela a Christmas in July (well, early spring actually). Mr. Conklin is at first adverse, calling Angela a "scatter-brained busybody". When Conklin learns of Angela's "condition", he sobs over the dear sweet soul and agrees to come dressed as Santa Claus. In truth, Angela is characterized as both as scatter-brained busy body and a Kind Hearted Cat Lover.

The Rock ran down various Real Life wrestler interview segments, with the mention of Mike Awesome's note Who had committed suicide on February 17, 2007, and was memorialized at the start of the show WCW segment "The Lava Lamp Lounge" being deleted. Later that same night, there was a tag match that was originally scheduled as The Royal Assassins ("The Legend-Killer" Randy Orton and "The Animal" Dave Batista, w/manager Jerry "The King" Lawler) vs. Balls Mahoney and Mike Awesome. Before the match, Orton started cutting a promo about "killing legends"note Lawler's Power Stable The Royals were in a feud with The Hardcore Alliance, which included Mahoney and Awesome, and Batista had defeated Awesome at JWL The Great American Bash I, and Orton's mic went out and a "We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties" message came up on the screen. When the show came back, Mahoney said that what Orton had said "was a load of crap." He then brought out his replacement partner, Masato Tanaka. Cue Curb-Stomp Battle.

Although it's justified in that most people simply didn't know he was a Jerk Jock, and unlike Daria the other ones who did at least had the decency to have some decorum towards the gravity of the situation. With that said, Daria doesn't go out of her way to decry how the public perceives Tommy Sherman and still openly acknowledges he didn't deserve to die for real. The only ones whom she openly discusses his awful personality with are Jane and Brittany, the ones who understood what a jerk he was, while still trying to respect that they're upset about him dying at all.

At his funeral, many former members of her boarding house give May their condolences and tell her they'll miss Nathan. One of them however silently thinks of the others as hypocrites, remembering how many of them repeatedly couldn't stand Nathan because of how much of a grump he often was. Untold Tales of Spider-Man: Exaggerated Trope. Sally Avril was an awful person to Peter Parker in her life. She mocked and bullied him, didn't care about his uncle's death, and when she saw Liz talking to him (she was offering him her condolences) she coaxed Liz away rather than offer her own sympathy to Peter. When Jason Ionello attempted to prank Peter by stealing all the clothes in his gym bag while he's showering, she was the only one who approved of the prank when all of her friends thought Jason crossed the line from funny to overly cruel. She even tried to blackmail Peter when she became the superhero Bluebird to take her pictures. But when she died in a car accident trying to take pictures of a Spider-Man fight, Peter acted like he lost a good friend and wonderful person in his life. He talked about how she was vital and alive and fun to be around. While it's understandable why her friends miss her because they were also unpleasant people, Peter had no reason to mourn her. However, Peter blames himself for her death and it was implied that his guilt was causing him to project Sally as a better person than she was. It was only while talking with Johnny Storm, who pointed out that her death was not his fault and given her behavior she was likely to get herself killed sooner or later no matter what Spider-Man did or didn't do, did he let go of his guilt. The Amazing Spider-Man (J. Michael Straczynski): During the infamous Sins Past arc, Peter states that a sure way to piss him off is to insult Gwen Stacy. Ironically, said story is reviled precisely because it tried to change this, retconning that Gwen cheated on Peter and slept with her future killer.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_b769aa28	comment	Grace and Frankie: When Robert's shrewish, bigoted mother dies, the family tries gamely to find anything nice to say about her, but the best her granddaughters can manage is "She was... related to us." Zig-zagged when one person learns the sad news and asks who finally murdered her. It adds some Bathos to Robert's guilt that he'd tried and failed to repair their relationship in her last days.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_bb58cad8	comment	Superman gets this big time in Justice League (2017). In the year since his Heroic Sacrifice, he's gone from being a polarising figure in life to being idealised in death. Possibly justifying this change in attitude was the revelation that Lex Luthor's attempts to defame Superman had become public knowledge, leaving only his heroic deeds to be remembered.

Firmly averted in the case of Zachary's mother, Shirley.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: "Horror of Fang Rock": Skinsdale is killed by the Monster of the Week while scrabbling for diamonds that the Doctor has thrown away (having got the one perfect diamond he needs to construct his Ray Gun). When Leela asks what happened to him, the Doctor says that Skinsdale died with honour. "Father's Day": Rose's mum gave her a somewhat idealized impression of her late father. It's not like Jackie could have expected Rose would eventually find a time machine and meet him personally. The Doctor applies this trope to their entire species. During the classic series, the Doctor was frequently critical of the other Time Lords' complacent, bureaucratic society. Then the Time War happened in the gap before the revival, rendering the Doctor the last of their kind. After four series of guilt and nostalgia, the Tenth Doctor was faced with the prospect of the Time Lords actually coming back â€” and immediately grabbed a gun, admitting he'd been choosing to remember the best of them. Turns out the War made them even worse. Interestingly, there is a subtle inversion after "The Day of the Doctor" revealed that the Time Lords might not be dead after all â€” soon after, we get an episode where the Doctor says that Earth is "his world" as much as it is Clara's. Now that he no longer feels guilt over its apparent destruction, he is again free to admit that Gallifrey wasn't exactly his favorite place in the universe.

The best part was watching people who completely missed the satire and blasted the Chaser team for mocking the dead celebrities, especially those who called them cowards because "they wouldn't have said those things had they been alive."

There is the occasional hint that this view is not entirely accurate; she had a brief affair, it is sometimes implied that her method of raising the boys was ultimately damaging to them, and (if her appearance on Cheers is anything to go by) she could be outright hostile to Frasier's love interests. However, it's also made clear that, regardless of her faults, she was a loving mother and wife to her family, which explains why they choose to remember her fondly. Martin would even work to preserve this trope even to his own detriment. In regards to the afore-mentioned affair, at first he allowed Frasier and Niles to think it was he who cheated so as not to besmirch his dead wife's image. Frasier also struggles with this when he has to give the eulogy for his Aunt Louise. Everyone in the family agrees she was mean-spirited and overcritical, but he doesn't want to badmouth her at the funeral or outright lie. He ends up engaging in some Exact Words, and then segues into a song his Dad wrote to Frank Sinatra.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_f6eed39	comment	The Sopranos: Tony once notes that despite the hostility his mother held for his father when he was alive, she's viewed him as a saint ever since his death. Livia, however, is mostly directly invoking the idea for manipulative persons (usually comparing Tony to his father to himself or somebody else, or calling herself a victim for being deprived of him and stuck with the living). Subverted when Livia dies in "Provai Livushka". At first, everyone is mourning her death and consoling her family. However, Carmela eventually calls her a sick and twisted woman when they try to think of good things about Livia, and everyone remembers that she was a senile old woman who was generally unpleasant to everyone. When Vito is outed as being gay, his former colleagues express their intense disgust and intent to kill him for such a terrible betrayal. However, when they hear Vito has been tortured and killed by Phil, they're nonetheless sombre and not at all happy about it (primarily because an "outsider" killed a made man). When one of the underlings who killed Vito comes into their establishment for a payment and makes jokes about Vito's murder, none of them think it's funny at all and eventually kill him when the "jokes" keep coming. After Johnny Sack makes a plea bargain in his trial that forces him to admit the existence of the Mafia and his participation in it to ensure that his family will not be left penniless and on the street by all his assets being seized, the other mobsters unanimously express their disgust at him for this deep betrayal, even Tony, who had the most respect for him prior to this. However, after Johnny dies of cancer in prison, they're genuinely saddened by his passing.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_febf1ff3	comment	One Pepper Ann episode had the main character wondering why nobody speaks ill of the dead after a rather nasty old woman in the neighborhood died (made funnier because they'd insult her and then Pepper would say the woman was dead and then they'd recall "how sweet" she was). Pointed out explicitly where Pepper Ann's mother is seen calling her a poor, sweet old lady and Pepper Ann points out that in the previous, her mother had called her an awful person. The mother then invokes the trope by name. Then Pepper Ann had a dream where she lied at the woman's funeral (being asked to speak was why she was asking everyone about her in the first place) and called her "kind" and "gentle" and all of the things that people were saying after she was dead. The woman rose from the grave and berated her for it, leading to Pepper Ann taking a third option and finding the real positive aspects of the deceased woman to talk about.

Never Speak Ill of the Dead / int_ff9ab17f	comment	In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Schizoid Man", the Insufferable Genius scientist named Ira Graves dies. During his funeral, Data (of all people) starts eulogizing him with such grand statements such as "those who knew him loved him". Not only is it weird that Data is being emotional, but also because the man was only, possibly, loved by one person and behaved like an asshole to everyone else. Since Data is an emotionless android, it's unnatural for him to lie so openly. Of course, it turns out it was really Graves himself, who has managed to upload his consciousness into Data's positronic brain.
