A villain will say some variation of "resistance is futile." Often, it will turn out resistance was anything but, but villains do like to have their moments. Other common variations are "it is useless to resist us" and "resistance is useless." See also Nothing Can Stop Us Now!, and other forms of Tempting Fate. Compare You Can't Fight Fate, Failure Is the Only Option, But Thou Must!, Morton's Fork, and Xanatos Gambit when resistance really is futile. |

Master of Orion: If you meet a particularly hostile alien race in the original game, they will say "Resistance is futile. The fate of the <your race> is inevitable. Prepare to submit to the <our race> Empire." This is one of the messages from the Antarans in the second game, when they're specifically attacking one of your colonies. |

Mass Effect 2: Big Bad Harbinger tends to s— ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL. YOU CANNOT RESIST. Seems to be common among Reapers, since first episode Big Bad Sovereign drops it too on Virmire. The Reapers generally see any kind of resistance against them as utterly useless and only delaying the inevitable (not without some justification, admittedly). The one exception is Shepard: they're the one thing in history the Reapers consider an actual threat. |

In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, after mind-melding with V'Ger, Spock tells Kirk "Any show of resistance would be futile, Captain." What's even more interesting is that V'Ger is said to have come from "a planet populated by living machines with unbelievable technology", which many theorize to be the Borg homeworld. | |

Doctor Who: For the very first time in the series in "The Dalek Invasion of Earth", a Dalek (who had invaded Earth) to a captive Doctor and Ian: "RESISTANCE IS USELESS." A Cyberman, in "The Tomb of the Cybermen": "TO STRUGGLE IS FUTILE." "Resistance is Useless" was a favourite phrase of the Cybermen in their first two stories, "The Tenth Planet" and "The Moonbase". Which actually makes them an Ur-Example (1965), however the phrase is now more commonly associated with the Borg. The Borg themselves actually derive some of their characteristics from the Cybermen. The original episode featuring the Borg was "Q Who?" Noah, the human-turned-Wirrn in "The Ark in Space": "Your resistance is useless." The Master, in "The Deadly Assassin": "Resistance is futile". An Eternal in "Enlightenment": "Resistance is futile". He was very friendly about it, though. A Dalek, in "Revelation of the Daleks": "IT IS FUTILE TO RE-SIST". These happen to be its last words. A Dalek, in "The Stolen Earth": "RESISTANCE IS USELESS." Played with in "The God Complex": One of the mottos of Tivoli, the Most Conquered Planet in the Galaxy, is "Resistance is exhausting." Subverted with a Dalek, in "Into the Dalek": "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE." The Doctor makes it repeat itself, just to be sure, because it's not saying that resisting the Daleks is futile. It's saying that the Daleks resisting life is futile. |

Starting with the original radio series, all the various iterations of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy franchise feature this as a catchphrase for the Vogons. (Though they go with "useless" rather than "futile".) In particular there's the spaceship guard early in the story who is assigned airlock-stuffing duty in regards to hitchhikers Arthur and Ford. He really loves to shout it and considers it a major job perk. | |

The far too numerous doppelgangers in Baldur's Gate shout this incessantly as you hack them to bits "It is useless to resist!" Since they only have some two battle lines and the latter 3rd of the game consists almost entirely of fighting great wads of them at once you'll be hearing it. A lot. | |

Defied in Star Trek: Voyager episode "Scorpion" which begins with two Borg cubes giving their spiel as they approach an unseen target. Right in the middle of "Resistance is__" a beam of energy lances out and destroys both cubes. Enter Species 8472. Defied by the Federation itself: As much as the Borg may profess it, every attempt to assimilate Earth has failed spectacularly. Even when the Queen personally intervened the Borg simply can't defeat those pesky humans. |
