Talking the Monster to Death	comment	The hero has cornered the vicious monster. It's taken out everyone who has confronted it thus far, and the hero seems like no exception. That's when the hero, rather than drawing a sword, pulls out his cue cards. He begins a speech about the good things in life, the wonders of good, how Humans Are Special and the monster should respect that, and that the monster should know better than just give into his evil nature, etc. And it works. This hideous monster surrenders, lets itself die, chooses to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, disappears in a Puff of Logic, or what-have-you. Basically, an organic version of the Logic Bomb. More cynically, it moves the monster just long enough for the hero's friends to open fire, shuttering out that one chance of redemption... Or it doesn't work at all and just gives the monster some open spot to attack the hero. Done well, this can be a very moving finale. Done badly, it comes across as a giant cop-out (See: Swiper, No Swiping!). Sometimes spoofed by having the monster giving up just to make the hero shut up. A favorite tool of the Guile Hero. Often an illustration of The Power of Language. See also To Win Without Fighting. Also related to "The Reason You Suck" Speech. Compare Swiper, No Swiping!. Contrast Shut Up, Kirk!.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_1305c32	comment	Kamen Rider Fourze does kick Chairman Gamou in the face a number of times in their final battle, but spends just as much time talking him down and has no intent of killing him. He eventually succeeds at convincing Gamou to do a Heelâ€“Face Turn and become friends. Although Gamou's age and abuse of cosmic energy mean he doesn't live long afterward, it earns Fourze a much happier ending than if he hadn't gone to the trouble.

In episode 9 after Sayaka became a witch, Oktavia, due to her corrupted Soul Gem, Kyoko desperately looked for ways to revert Sayaka back to being a human. Kubey told her that to his knowledge no one has ever been able to turn back once they became a witch. He gave Kyoko a Hope Spot by saying that there is no precedent to such thing, and there might be a way which he does not know of. Kyoko then proceeded to befriend and team up with Sayaka's best friend Madoka in an attempt to talk Sayaka back into humanity. It did not end well.

As a result of this conversation, the Ghidorah-attached San turns against Ichi and Ni, helping Viv and San, Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and the other Earth Titans to subdue Ghidorah at the cost of his own life.

Well, Harry tries to talk Voldemort into not throwing the curse and repenting his crimes. Instead, Voldemort refuses to listen and casts the Killing Curse at Harry refusing to accept that Harry had become the master of the Elder Wand, which caused said curse to backfire and kill Voldemort instead.

He linked his soul to multiple children, becoming stronger when said children feel despair. However, the protagonists lifted the spirits of these children by delivering a Rousing Speech. After that, each of the children then mentioned their hopes and dreams which actually destroys MaloMyotismon. In Digimon Ghost Game, the Kid Heroes draw no distinction between organic and digital life, and in the first third of the series they do this to each Monster of the Week as many of them were Obliviously Evil, in contrast to the kill-or-be-killed battles of previous entries. However, once Cerebus Syndrome kicks in, this eventually stops being a guaranteed success.

Ouma Yamisaka kidnaps Index and attempts to drain knowledge from her mind so he can lift a curse from a girl, claiming he's only doing it to prove his skill. Touma orders him to stop lying: it's obvious that he's in love with the girl. Touma also explains that he can easily lift the curse and offers to do so. Upon hearing this, Ouma breaks down in tears and surrenders. Touma asks Fiamma of the Right why he had to go through all the theatrics of his overly complicated plan when he is already powerful enough to destroy the world. Touma then says it's because, despite Fiamma's power, he was afraid he would fail. Touma also points out that despite everything that has happened, Touma's friends and even complete strangers have proven that not all Humans Are Bastards like Fiamma had claimed. Touma then punches him out. When Marian Slingeneyer threatens to draw the cursed sword DÃ¡insleif and trigger Ragnarok, Touma mocks her and says that if she had the guts to do that, she would have done it immediately. Marian is enraged, but then realizes she is too afraid to actually draw it. Touma then punches her out.

Mikoto freezes in fear. The others prepare to fight. Ami calmly points out to the boss that Mikoto has graduated from Tokiwadai and is a UA student. As such Mikoto doesn't have a curfew, and even if she did, the Dorm Supervisor no longer has the authority to enforce it. When the Dorm Supervisor argues that they are in Tokiwadai uniforms, Ami explains that it is an illusion (Izuku having already confirmed that their tracksuits were unchanged on his Inventory screen), and she might want to check if one of the Tokiwadai students is trying to distract her. This ends the illusion, at which point the boss congratulates Mikoto and leaves.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_2b0ada22	comment	In WandaVision, two Visions are fighting with each other. One is a construct made using Wanda's powers that retains the original Vision's personality, but none of his memories (though he recently learned about them from second-hand source), the other is a white-colored replica created by S.W.O.R.D. from the original's remains and programmed to be their own sentient weapon. The two of them are evenly matched, so Hex-Vision asks White Vision why they're fighting, to which White Vision responds that his directive is to kill the Vision. Hex-Vision argues that he's only a "conditional" Vision, which intrigues White Vision enough that he asks for elaboration. The two Visions discuss the Theseus' Ship Paradox, which insinuates that potentially both could be considered the "true" Vision. Their discussion convinces White Vision to let Hex-Vision restore the memories that S.W.O.R.D. locked away, after which he leaves peacefully.

Somehow. Second was against the main villain King!Loki, who at that point just wanted to be left alone already, which was about how in failing actually succeeded (comes from fighting against yourself) and now could let go, which they do and Story!Loki turns their essence into the shiny thingy on their brand new scepter.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_30a5ebfd	comment	This happens very often in Naruto. So much so that the fans consider Talk no jutsu to be Naruto's most powerful technique. Happens at the resolution of the Pain arc. After beating the villain in a fight, rather than killing him, Naruto uses a book written by their shared mentor to get Pain to Heelâ€“Face Turn. Played straight with Naruto's own dark side. It was during a Journey to the Center of the Mind and Fearful Symmetry had proven to be pointless. It's also one of the few ways of killing Edo Tensei zombies. If the soul obtains emotional closure, they lose their connection to the physical world and move on, breaking the jutsu. Naruto does it again with Obito Uchiha. After having torn through his facade as the Ten Tails with fused Kurama and Susano'o, Naruto looked into his mind, saw him daydreaming about a world where he was Hokage, and tore apart all his villainous motivations.

When Envy makes a desperate last attempt to turn Ed, Roy, Riza, and Scar against each other, Ed tells him he's realized the reason he hates human beings so much is his very envy of their humanity. His response is to kill himself. Not a straight example since he was half-dead already anyway and was completely powerless to defend himself, and it was very clear that he wasn't leaving that room alive anyway. He just took what he saw as a less humiliating exit.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_334120fc	comment	In 8-Bit Theater, Black Mage killed Astos by making a really bad joke. Astos? Mo' like yo' ass is toast! As Puff of Logic illustrates, Red Mage once defeated a T-Rex by telling him he couldn't exist. He TRIED to do the same earlier in the comic with a giant, citing the various environmental and physical reasons that make giants impossible to exist. The giant proved his existence via club to the face. And now it looks like "Warbleck" is off to vaporize itself thanks to a five-man Logic Bomb. "So, this is what it's like to be bored to death." (Spoiler-y) This was also their final plan for fighting Chaos. They intend to have Fighter talk to him. As Fighter seems to just make people stupid by talking to them, the plan is to make Chaos Too Dumb to Live. In fact, White Mage does this with Chaos by convincing it that the nothingness that would ensue from destroying all life would be a form of order itself.

One Monster of the Week resisted any single try to have him interrogated by the Five-Man Band... until The Smart Guy tries his luck on it. Said Smart Guy is a major Cloud Cuckoo Lander and a telepath who channels everyone's thoughts. In a few minutes, the monster is begging to have the guy off him otherwise he'll end up braindead. Not as sinister as it sounds. His rambling drove the bad guy up the wall to the point that he cracked, whereas both threats for if he didn't talk and promises of leniency if he did had failed before. This turns out to be the final battle for Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, and thus the final battle of the show's thirty-year run. Instead of physically destroying Lord Zedd, the Rangers get the Emperor of Evil to see reason about his forthcoming Meaningless Villain Victory. Yes, there will be no goodness or heroism left in the universe, but Zedd won't be around to see it, much less rule over it. Some Meaningful Echoes from the Blue Ranger (who Lord Zedd sought to groom in the ways of villainy for most of the season) convince Zedd to choose self-preservation over ultimate power, and he chooses to surrender to the Rangers.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_60996c02	comment	Spider-Man: The Animated Series: In the series finale, Spider-Man faces off against an alternate version of him from a different reality, possessed by Carnage. Spider-Carnage is about to destroy the multiverse. Peter, having failed to overpower him in their previous confrontation, is reminded by Madame Webb that she brought him to this reality not because of his strength, but because of his heart and intelligence. Peter realizes that the Peter of the Universe they are currently in is kind of an entitled jerk. This leads Peter to realize that if his counterpart is like this, it means the man must've never experienced the most humbling moment of Peter's life: Uncle Ben's death. Peter realizes he can't stop Spider-Carnage, but Uncle Ben can. He's the only person in the multiverse Spider-Carnage would listen to. And indeed the shock of seeing Uncle Ben, who still shows compassion and support for Peter is so great to Carnage!Peter that the latter tries to free himself from the symbiote, and when he realizes he can't, commits suicide via portal to nowhere rather than let himself destroy the multiverse.

The finale of The Brothers Karamazov has two speeches, one by the prosecutor and the other by the defense attorney, which combined last only 54 pages. The author even hangs a lampshade on the length of the prosecutor's speech (31 of the 54 pages) by saying he was feeling particularly energetic that day.

After Kuruku tells Unico that he severely damaged him, Unico instantly apologizes to him. Not only for hurting him, but because he genuinely felt sorry for him after learning about his past. He then tells Kuruku that he doesn't have to hate humanity for how he was treated, Unico even tells Kuruku that he would love to become his first friend and not be lonely anymore. Unfortunately for Unico, this only makes Kuruku even weaker and slowly killing him.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_671d5c19	comment	The Powerpuff Girls episode "Three Girls and a Monster" had Blossom and Buttercup arguing over whether to use tactics or brute force against a monster. Bubbles solves the problem by simply asking the monster to leave town, pretty please with sugar on top. On the other hand, Blossom and Buttercup keep trying to prove that their way works, even when it's obvious that they don't. This actually might explain why the monster finally left when Bubbles asked - when the argument leads to Blossom and Buttercup making one final attempt to prove that their way is the right one, the monster is annoyed◊ that the girls are still trying to beat him, and was probably glad for the excuse to go.

She also points out that a lot of what has caused the tragedies of the cycle with demons and humans has been a lack of understanding, and how bridging that gap would free everyone - including Peter - from the fates they are trapped in. Faced with the realization of her words, Peter responds by cutting his own throat.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe absolutely loves this trope. A running theme of the series seems to be that you should always at least try to do this, either before, after, or even during conflict. Steven himself will always attempt to talk enemies out of fighting whenever possible (and sometimes when it shouldn't be). In fact, one of his powers he eventually discovers, establishing a remote empathic link with people and Gems, seems perfectly geared toward this tactic. Across the series, he tries it with: Lapis Lazuli. After she steals the world's oceans and almost kills him no less. However, this has the basis of them already being friends and the entire situation being her lashing out from fear and anger. When she calms down a bit, they successfully talk things out; Steven heals her cracked gem, and she calmly leaves for Homeworld after returning the oceans to normal. Peridot, although there's no specific moments. She just ends up spending so much time around Steven over the course of a few months that Steven is able to patiently talk her down from hostile enemy, to unwilling ally, to close friend and a member of the Crystal Gems. In turn, Peridot later attempts this with Yellow Diamond. It doesn't work at all, but it does show how far she's come. The Cluster, of all things, gets dealt with like this. After an unsuccessful attempt to break it up, Steven manages to reason with it and convince it to bubble itself, sparing the Earth from total annihilation. Incidentally, this is where Steven discovers his empathic telepathy power and this is what saves the day. Otherwise the Cluster would've been unable to listen. By doing this, Steven manages to bring Blue and Yellow Diamond to his side, using his telepathy to reach them during a battle. Granted, it was probably less what he said and moreso who he was, something he could only reveal through his powers. "I Am My Monster": Everyone saves Steven from his corrupted form with a combination of heartfelt speeches, a Cooldown Hug, and True Love's Kiss.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_797793b1	comment	Shaman King arguably ends on this note in the Manga. Much of the series has been about one desperate measure after another to catch up with Hao so that he cannot attain the power of God and eradicate humanity. Unfortunately, unlike in most manga, Hao's thousand-year head start on the forces training specifically to fight him proves to be an utterly insurmountable barrier: Hao has been training so long and so hard that he is completely unbeatable, even with all the strongest shaman beneath him working together, and even somehow managing to kill him wouldn't stop him from coming back in 500 years even stronger. Yoh's solution to this is to realize defeating Hao with force isn't an option and never was and proposes an alternative plan: confronting Hao in the Shaman King's realm and convincing him he's wrong. Appealing to Hao's humanity (particularly when Opacho and Hao's mother, two of the few things he truly cares about, join in the appeal) eventually convinces Hao to relent and bring everyone back to life, letting Yoh and the others live their lives without his interference. It's implied this is the only tactic that wasn't simply delaying the inevitable as far as Hao was concerned. The minor exception might be Lady Sati who would have had enough power to defeat Hao just by working with the rest of her team, Team Nyorai, not to mention her Gandhara followers, all of whom were more or less evenly matched with the likes of Jeanne, she just didn't have any intention whatsoever to win the Shaman Fight, and instead wanted to teach Hao how to become a proper Shaman King.

VGER merges with Decker and crosses over into another universe and disappears. Kirk's actually pretty good at doing this to evil computers: it happened four times. In one instance, though, it almost comes back to bite him: deciding it should die, the computer that's taken over the Enterprise shuts down the ship's defenses to allow the fleet to kill it. Fortunately, the commander of the fleet decided to investigate its apparent surrender instead of coming in phasers blazing. To the point where an adventure for the Doctor Who Role-Playing Game referred to this as the James Kirk School of Computer Repair. (With explanations that, in this case, it won't work.)

Talking the Monster to Death / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Kirk and Picard are both good at talking monsters to death (a.k.a. fast-talking their way out of a jam). Since both characters routinely run into Sufficiently Advanced Aliens who cannot be defeated with firepower, it's an important skill. Kirk tends to be generally less smug when he does it than Picard, though. Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "Skin of Evil", the Monster of the Week, a Card-Carrying Villain, has Troi trapped behind an impenetrable force field. Picard gives a speech about how the monster is more pathetic than evil. This upsets the monster enough that its concentration on maintaining its force field weakens to the point where the Enterprise's teleporter can rescue Troi. Subverted and played straight by the Borg before Villain Decay set in, as in their first appearance, Q makes it explicitly plain that they cannot be reasoned with. Played straight in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part 2" when Data hacks them through Locutus and electronically tells them to "sleep" (at Picard's suggestion, of course). Averted in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Dreadnought". While working for the Maquis, B'Elanna Torres captured and reprogrammed an AI-controlled missile which was then pulled with their own ship into the Delta Quadrant. Every attempt by B'Elanna to convince the missile that it's heading for the wrong target fails when there are more plausible explanations in its programming. However, in "Warhead" (essentially a Recycled Script), things work out better because the weapon is from the Delta Quadrant and they're able to prove to the missile's AI that it was launched in error.

Kamen Rider Double ends with Wakana Sonozaki having become virtually omnipotent, with everyone who could possibly stand a chance against her either dead or depowered. A conversation with Shroud ultimately leads Wakana to give up on her ambitions and instead sacrifice herself to give the protagonists a happy ending. This is also a case of Shroud talking herself to death, as she was only alive out of sheer hate for the Sonozaki family, and making peace with the last of their line is enough for her to finally pass on. Kamen Rider Fourze does kick Chairman Gamou in the face a number of times in their final battle, but spends just as much time talking him down and has no intent of killing him. He eventually succeeds at convincing Gamou to do a Heelâ€“Face Turn and become friends. Although Gamou's age and abuse of cosmic energy mean he doesn't live long afterward, it earns Fourze a much happier ending than if he hadn't gone to the trouble. Kamen Rider Drive talks down the last few surviving Roidmudes near the end of the show, leading them to ally with him to stop their creator. Kamen Rider Zi-O is an entire show-long instance of this, because Zi-O is the monster, and the events of the series are the rest of the cast gradually talking him out of becoming the Evil Overlord he was destined to become. Kamen Rider Zero-One ends with two monsters talking each other to death, with the Fallen Hero lead and his archnemesis finally bringing the cycle of revenge to an end by coming to understand each other's grief and sparing one another's lives.

If you (as Spider-Man) try to actually fight Ock, he goes down in less than a paragraph, only for his psychiatrist to chew you out over saving millions of lives. The proper solution is to simply tell one of web-head's greatest enemies that he's hurting people; he immediately stops his evil schemes and breaks down crying.

The entire game is set on a 3-minute timer, and if you confront him he launches into an excessively long, Motor Mouthed filibuster attempting to run down the clock. However, you can punch him to death at any time you want, and it's possible to literally destroy the time limit itself, which if you do before confronting him, he'll rant for the full three minutes before freaking out when he realizes what happened and dying of a heart attack.

The monsters return and cause havoc, and the Ghostbusters are powerless to stop them. Until a little girl offers to help them, revealing that she isn't afraid of the monsters. The Ghostbusters have her walk up to the lead kaiju, request candy, tell him he's funny, and demand a Halloween story. This reveals that the actual point of Halloween (teaching children not to be afraid) is still alive and well, and forces the monsters back into the netherworld.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_980c3316	comment	This is often Shazam's go-to approach if the situation doesn't call for immediate violence, and he's often successful at it. During a team-up with Superman, Shazam was forced to possess Superman's body in order to speak with an ancient frog goddess who was threatening to wipe out a large portion of humanity. Cap is able to simply talk her down using eloquence and sincere, heartfelt compassion. The goddess leaves without further incident, and Superman admits that Cap succeeded with words where he would have failed with violence. A semi-example, but during the Crisis Times 5 JLA/JSA team-up, Shazam is able to end the battle between two 5th Dimensional Imps by combining their names into one word, and getting the good Imp present to say it, causing them to combine into a balanced entity. During a different team-up, this time with Green Lantern, they fought a professor who had absorbed the spirit of an ancient Egyptian wizard in order to show people the glories of ancient Egypt. Green Lantern tried and failed repeatedly to just beat the guy into submission. Cap then spoke to the man, pointed out the destruction he was committing not only was destroying some of the artifacts of Egypt (they were fighting in a museum at the time), but he was also going to harm the people he was hoping to show the wonders of Egypt to. The man actually expelled the wizard from his body out of a combination of guilt and shame because of Cap's words. In a reversal of the above, Cap actually got the invading spirit to vacate a possessed body, rather than talk the host into giving up its power. During Final Crisis, Shazam came across a woman who had become possessed by a demon. Shazam basically glared at the demon and said, "Get out of her. NOW." The demon promptly left without another word.

Dahlia's ensuing rage forces her out of the body she's been possessing with a scream of frustration. Let's just say the Judge was not the only person freaked out and awed. Of course all the "battles" in the game are won by doing this. It's never enough to prove your client is innocent, you have to meticulously unravel the lies of the true murderer through the careful application of contradicting evidence and basically force them into a confession. Somewhat justified, as, in the real-world Japanese legal system, many defendants would have already confessed, courtesy of intense interrogation techniques.

The first time happens, ironically, completely accidentally when she's talking with her 'new friend' Halflight Dawn (who is actually Twilight Tragedy in disguise) and manages to undermine Discord's brainwashing to the point it ultimately enables Twilight to break free and pull a Heelâ€“Face Turn. Later, she manages to wipe out a zombie army simply by pointing out the paradoxical fact that they're apparently dead and alive at the same time. She also manages to convince one of Discord's Mooks to take up knitting in the middle of a battle and blow up a robotic minion via Logic Bomb.

On Magrathea (in the books) he kills two policemen by talking in this way to the ship controlling their life support system. Later, he defeats a sentient armoured tank by asking it to guess what weapon he has been given with which to defend Zaphod against it. When he reveals that the answer is "Nothing", the tank gets so angry that it blasts out the floor, causing it to plummet to its destruction. God gets unmade by virtue of the existence of the babel fish. However, this causes the Man in question to start following Insane Troll Logic.

It helps that he really didn't want to fight, and spends much of the final issue pleading with the X-Men to just listen to him.

The God of Light even broke the rules he was supposedly enforcing by gifting humanity the Relics and Silver Eyes; it was a cheat so that if humanity did redeem themselves, the God of Light would get all the credit for that, too. The God of Darkness turns on his brother, defeats him, and humanity promises to worship him forever for saving the world.

Mirajane does a variation on this: First she pummels the shit out of her opponent until they reach a lull in the fighting, then gently picks apart their reasoning which deprives them of any lingering will to keep going (usually resulting in them breaking down in tears) as they surrender. She pulls this off against Freed in the Battle of Fairy Tail arc and Racer in the Key to the Starry Skies Filler arc.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_bc848d30	comment	SpongeBob SquarePants: In the episode "Born Again Krabs", this trope is spoofed when Mr. Krabs greedily trades SpongeBob for 62 cents, thus sending SpongeBob to Davy Jones' locker (the equivalent of Hell) for eternity with the Flying Dutchman. A few seconds later, the Flying Dutchman returns SpongeBob, stating that SpongeBob talked too much and that it was driving him crazy. This cuts to a scene of SpongeBob babbling about his life rapidly and non-stop while the Flying Dutchman looks exasperated. In the episode "F.U.N.", Plankton disguises himself in front of a magic shop when SpongeBob shows up. He doesn't recognize him at first, but when he sees the magic shop, he starts gushing about a magician he once saw. Plankton finally has enough of his glurge-filled rambling and gives himself up.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor would, in a perfect world, talk all his enemies down to a negotiation table and hammer out a ceasefire and trade agreement over tea and biscuits. But if that fails, he has this. In "The Faceless Ones", the Doctor explains to the alien that their plan to kidnap teenagers and steal their faces isn't a very nice thing to do and he'd be happy to help them solve their problem in return for returning all the kidnapped people and leaving Earth alone. They decide this is reasonable and do so. "The Invasion": The Second Doctor's companion Zoe reeled out a list of coding and orders to a robot receptionist, causing it to break down and catch fire. Even Vaughn had to admit he was "Quite amused" The Actual Pacifist Seventh Doctor especially made use of this, notably talking down a Black Dalek this way in "Remembrance of the Daleks"; bear in mind that he has already taken out Skaro and the whole Dalek fleet â€” he went after the survivor for completeness' sake. "The Happiness Patrol" had Seven coolly stare at a mook sniper who had a gun to his chest and dare him to fire, knowing that said mook didn't actually have the guts to stare at the person he was shooting and carry it out. In a far more impressive manner, he talks the god-like "Light" into committing suicide in "Ghost Light". It doesn't need to be a literal "death", either - he's talked an all too eager sniper into dropping his gun (and out of his eagerness), and kept an Arthurian villain from initiating a nuclear weapon with nothing but words. "Dalek": The Doctor attempts this on the Dalek, trying to talk it into killing itself since everything it ever stood for is gone. It doesn't work. However, the Dalek does kill itself later, because it was contaminated by Rose's DNA and it can't bear being impure. The Tenth Doctor manages to shut down the entire clockwork army in "The Girl in the Fireplace" just by drawing their attention to the fact that he's just broken their only escape route. "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead": The Tenth Doctor makes the unstoppable microscopic swarm-species Vashta Nerada back off using this technique â€” "I'm the Doctor, and you're in the biggest library in the universe. Look me up." The rooftop climax of "The Eleventh Hour" ("I'm the Doctor. Basically...run."). "The Pandorica Opens" has a massive subversion. Facing an army of everything that's ever hated him, the Doctor talks them all into not attacking. However, it turns out that they don't need to attack, since not only are the Roman soldiers with the Doctor really Auton spies, but the thing he's trying to keep them away from is a prison designed for the Doctor himself. Inverted in "The Big Bang": Amy talks the Eleventh Doctor back into existence. Technically she's remembering him, but she just happens to be verbalizing her memories. The Doctor comments on the implications at the end of the Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Dreamstone Moon.

Nobody complained, except the guys that made the giant talking cockroach puppet that never got used. That being said, there is still an element of this in the final movie. When Edgar the Bug is taking Laurel (Linda Fiorentino 's character) to his spaceship with the intent of eating her, she begins telling him all sorts of things to make him desist, like claiming she's a goddess and her death could result in a war. Unimpressed, Edgar keeps climbing and tells her a war would result in lots of food for his family. After a while, however, Laurel annoys Edgar too much and he throws her to the branches of a tree, deciding she's not worth it.

This is presented as unusual for Strange, who's more likely to pull a brutal Breaking Speech instead, especially with someone who's provoked him as much as she has, but justified in that he understands her pain and where she's coming from, since their past traumas have many of the same roots as do their present fears - though that being said, he's also holding a significant grudge against her, so he's also willing to cut to vicious violence. Merlin, who's gentler, actually achieves a Hope Spot by getting through to her briefly. In the end, though, she doubles down.

Basara's singing finally gets through to another Protodevlin, Sevil, and she begins singing. As a result, she starts to produce spiritua within herself, proof that Protodevlin don't need to steal spiritua from others. Geppelnich hadn't believed the process of consuming the galaxy's spiritua to be reversible, but when he starts singing, it and his transformation reverse. Having no longer need to steal spiritua, they then leave the galaxy.

In an early episode, he and Hotch are locked in with a serial killer who plans to kill them to get a stay on his execution; Hotch prepares for a bare-knuckle brawl to work out some aggression, but Reid talks... and talks... and talks... breaking down the killer's personal history and brain chemistry to explain why he became a killer. Later, Reid stares down a spree killer with an automatic rifle and convinces him to turn himself in rather than get shot by the police. Even when the team exploits this ability, by arranging a sting wherein he dines with a hitwoman, he manages to go above and beyond. Said hitwoman has planned for this contingency and has a bomb planted under the restaurant, guaranteeing her safe escape. Reid convinces her to stay in place and continue chatting while his team sniffs out her accomplice, and after she's lost her leverage again convinces her to peacefully turn herself in.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_ed0795d4	comment	In The Silver Chair, Puddleglum manages to break the Green Witch's spell by a combination of burnt-marshwiggle odor and this trope. Ironically, he does so by conceding to everything she's said in her own Breaking Speech, then declaring that even so, he'd rather go on living as if her accusations are baseless than embrace her overly-bleak perspective.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_ef076a36	comment	Averted in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Dreadnought". While working for the Maquis, B'Elanna Torres captured and reprogrammed an AI-controlled missile which was then pulled with their own ship into the Delta Quadrant. Every attempt by B'Elanna to convince the missile that it's heading for the wrong target fails when there are more plausible explanations in its programming. However, in "Warhead" (essentially a Recycled Script), things work out better because the weapon is from the Delta Quadrant and they're able to prove to the missile's AI that it was launched in error.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: In the first season episode "Infection", Sinclair talks one Monster of the Week into committing suicide (more or less). The Shadows and the Vorlons are convinced to leave the galaxy after being told off by Sheridan, Delenn, and Lorien in "Into the Fire". It is a little more complicated than that, but not by much. During the civil war between Sheridan's forces and Earth Force ships loyal to President Clark, Sheridan convinces one of the enemy ship captains that Clark's orders are illegal and that he should therefore disobey them. That decision is briefly reversed when the other ship's first officer takes over and then re-reversed when the ship's crew takes the first officer into custody. The phrase "be somewhere else" (backed by considerable firepower) convinces a Clark-loyal Earthforce fleet to flee the field of battle. It's a pretty good speech.Earthforce Captain: "Do not force us to engage your ship!" Delenn: "Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."

Talking the Monster to Death / int_fd0b756	comment	In The Hobbit, Gandalf achieves a variant of this by keeping the trolls who had taken Thorin and his companions prisoner talking until the sun came up (turning the trolls to stone). Bilbo attempts this to defuse the tension between the elves and men and the dwarves. It doesn't turn out so well. Also, in a milder example, Bilbo learns Smaug's weakness and avoids being caught and eaten by flattering and speaking cleverly with the dragon.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_fdc66d32	comment	Kamen Rider Double ends with Wakana Sonozaki having become virtually omnipotent, with everyone who could possibly stand a chance against her either dead or depowered. A conversation with Shroud ultimately leads Wakana to give up on her ambitions and instead sacrifice herself to give the protagonists a happy ending. This is also a case of Shroud talking herself to death, as she was only alive out of sheer hate for the Sonozaki family, and making peace with the last of their line is enough for her to finally pass on.

Talking the Monster to Death / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "Skin of Evil", the Monster of the Week, a Card-Carrying Villain, has Troi trapped behind an impenetrable force field. Picard gives a speech about how the monster is more pathetic than evil. This upsets the monster enough that its concentration on maintaining its force field weakens to the point where the Enterprise's teleporter can rescue Troi. Subverted and played straight by the Borg before Villain Decay set in, as in their first appearance, Q makes it explicitly plain that they cannot be reasoned with. Played straight in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part 2" when Data hacks them through Locutus and electronically tells them to "sleep" (at Picard's suggestion, of course).
