Sometimes it's easier to run. Especially if there are people chasing you who want to capture or hurt or kill you. And especially if these people are stronger or greatly outnumber you and to face them is to give up your life or freedom. In these cases, it's a lot easier to run. But taking the easy way out is not always the best solution. Living a life on the run can be stressful and demeaning. There comes a time when a character grows tired of running. They decide to stand their ground and fight (or surrender in some circumstances) even though the odds of winning are slim. This can be portrayed as very brave, very stupid, or both. Still there is no denying that there is something admirable about a person choosing to face their fears. Notably, it works a lot of the time... but not always. Sometimes it may not be the enemy that the person is fleeing, but destiny itself. See also Do Not Go Gentle, Rousing Speech. |

As revealed over the course of Destiny and its sequel, the Fatal Flaw of the Traveler is cowardice — whenever the Darkness found whichever world the Traveler was staying on, it would flee, abandoning its current chosen race to the mercy of its foe. This is what happened with the Fallen, and is why they oppose the Last City — they want to reclaim the Traveler. Earth is where the Traveler finally decided to stop running and make its stand against the Darkness. This trope ends up being deconstructed as the story progresses, though: a major reason that the Traveler ran from the Darkness — or rather, the Witness — is that the Traveler's powers were not meant for fighting. While Guardians can use the Light offensively to manipulate fire, electricity, or gravity and dark energy, the Traveler primarily uses the Light for terraforming. When the Traveler finally faces the Witness again at the beginning of Lightfall, the Witness shrugs off everything the Traveler throws at it, though one of the Pyramids of the Black Fleet ends up disabled after the Traveler subjects it to HostileTerrraforming. All this shows that there is one reason why someone would want to continuously run from an opponent: namely, that said opponent cannot be stopped, hindered, or negotiated with. | |

In The 13th Warrior, Helfdane the Fat, one of the older warriors, has been wounded while fighting deep into a cave system with no apparent way out except for through the horde of neanderthal-like 'wendol' chasing them. He staggers at one point, then gets back up and says to the protagonist: "I've run about as far as I care to. Run along now, little brother. Today was a good day." He then holds the thin passageway for as long as he can before he dies. | |

Between the first two seasons of Fringe, Peter boasts that they're done tracking bad guys after they killed and will be on offensive from now on. They proceed in the second season to basically follow the trails of deaths again, culminating with Peter's kidnapping. Hey, they get him back, but that's still acting in defending with your self-designated king lost to you for a while... and losing your queen in the process. | |

Throughout The Matrix, Neo is repeatedly told that anyone who has fought an Agent has been killed, and that he should run away from them. He follows this trope (without actually saying anything) in the subway station when he decides to stop running from Smith, turning and fighting him instead. He actually manages to defeat Smith, but defeating an Agent is meaningless, as Smith simply body-hops to another person, so Neo ends up running away anyway. | |

In Saikyou Juzoku Tensei, The Protagonist leaves his village to explore the outside world and to escape his own marriage to his sister. Before the story climax, he's about to leave to another country along with his love interest when he runs into his sister, who proceeds to chase after them. While running away from the sister, the love interest suggests that they should confront her instead, so that she sees him let his sister down once and for all, even turning around to confront her herself, forcing him to join her at facing her off. Things take an ugly turn when said sister refuse to listen to reason, and decides on disposing of the love interest and taking her brother by force. | |

RWBY: After the events of Volume 3, when Adam cuts off Yang's arm and swears to personally destroy everything she loves, Blake goes on the run to protect them. In "Taking Control", Sun lectures her on how friends stay by each other's side and how shutting out a friend hurts them far more than it helps. Boosted by this, Blake announces that they're going to stop Adam from assassinating Sienna Khan, take back the White Fang from his militant faction, and save Haven Academy from falling. When Ilia later asks her why Blake isn't taking her advice to leave before it's too late, Blake retorts as follows: In Volume 8, Hazel buys everyone else time to escape from Salem, but Oscar decides to stand his ground because she’ll just resume the chase after his inevitable loss. Cue Oscar using Ozpin’s emergency weapon to temporarily disintegrate her, mostly destroy the Monstero, and kill almost every Grimm assaulting Atlas. |

Discussed, to some extent, in Clear and Present Danger. The situation: an American special forces squad is being pursued by a 200-man army of druglord enforcers, who are well-armed but of questionable fighting quality. At one point during the pursuit Chavez, the POV soldier, wonders to himself why they don't stage an ambush or two on the pursuing soldiers, when the pursuers were still operating in small groups. A few well-placed ambushes could've broken the mercenaries' morale, whereas continuing to run could only bring in more reinforcements on the mercenaries' side. Later on, they do stage counterattacks, but by that point it's too late to heavily affect the mercs. | |

Tornedron sucks the life out of anything on contact, and grows to ever larger and more terrible monster forms... unnecessarily, since it doesn't need to fight to kill anything in its path.

Risk It All: Between lingering PTSD from staring down the barrel of a gun twice and being a 16-year-old in over his head in superheroing, Ren freezes up when he's mugged in an alleyway by a guy with a gun despite having superpowers. He learns to get over it through his desire to change his circumstances and anger at himself for being so helpless, breaking the man's arm and taking his money back. From then on, he's able to jump into firefights with much less hesitation, though he's still careful to not get shot. | |

Fauna in DC Nation makes "no more running" part of her superheroing motive. She may be too much of a Granola Girl to ever be entirely comfortable with vigilante work, but the alternative of being afraid of her shapeshifting and looking over her shoulder all the time for Luthor is even less appealing. | |

Surge of New X-Men: Academy X: "No. This has to end. We have to end it. Forty-seven of us are dead. Jay is dead. Max is dead. Laurie is dead. Brian is dead. John went insane, and who knows where Kevin is. The X-Men can't save us. The O*N*E and their Sentinels are a sick joke. They'll probably be coming after us next. And the Avengers don't care. It's up to us. The X-Men are half a world away. We can't wait for them. Forge could still be alive, and if he's not, then Nimrod is coming for us next. This thing was involved with Stryker. It helped him kill our friends. So we'll save Forge. And we'll take this thing down." They then go out and beat Nimrod by forcing it into a temporal paradox by overloading the time device. | |

Resident Evil 6: This trope gets zigzagged. At the end of Jake's Campaign, upon facing the Ustanak for the fifth time, Jake decides he's tired of being stalked by it and gives a speech to the subject: Later, too, when he loses all his weapons and is forced to fight the Ustanak hand to hand: Problem is that Jake and Sherry had already faced it 4 times before during their campaign, and they weren't exactly escaping from it during a great portion of it. They even apparently killed it the fourth time when a tower falls upon it and blew up the plane in which he was standing (when they fought it with the help of Leon and Helena). Unfortunately, the Ustanak doesn't even die after this fight, (despite falling into the Lava and machinery falling upon him), it takes another series of quicktime events when they are escaping the underwater base to kill him for good. |

In American Dad!, Steven and his friends succeed in running away from almost the entire school trying to take them down because Steve had pulled nasty pranks of revenge against the popular girls in retaliation for fat jokes directed at Debby... which his friends had done in reality because they were sick of Steve spending so much time with Debby. However, they make the mistake of having closure before reaching Francine's SUV and are trapped in the bus by the angry students, so Steve rallies them to accept their gruesome ends and take some of the angry students down with them. They get their asses handed to them and utterly fail to take some down with them. | |

Star Trek: First Contact: After the Borg invade the Enterprise, Picard refuses to engage the self-destruct and evacuate the ship. It turns out to be a subversion: Instead of a rousing fight and the destruction of the Borg, Lily openly compares Picard to Captain Ahab, convincing him that he's obsessed with gaining revenge on the Borg for assimilating him earlier, and he decides to evacuate the Enterprise and blow it up after all. |

After Iroh explains how he got the nickname "The Dragon of the West", he manages to blow the wall and escape. Urging Zuko to jump also, Zuko replies, "No! It's time I faced Azula!" and challenges her to an Agni Kai (duel). She has the guards captured him without lifting a finger herself. It was probably a mistake to expect Azula to play fair. | |

In Mass Effect 2, Shepard visits the Migrant Fleet, the traveling home of the quarians. The quarians are a people who lost a Robot War to their own creations, and have spent the last three hundred years wandering, nomadic. Admiral Shala'Raan reveals that there's a growing movement among the fleet to return to the homeworld and fight — even though as things stand that would be suicide. Depending on the order you played in, this may come across as unnecessary after Legion explains that the geth would be happy to let the quarians return... if they'd stop attacking them. | |

Mass Effect 3: Repeatedly invoked by Shepard. Despite being forced to bug-out of Earth, Shepard spends the entire game determined to raise the greatest armada the Galaxy has ever seen, in order to give the Reapers hell. S/he explicitly says this when they are trying to escape from a Reaper Destroyer on Rannoch, also reasoning that leaving it alive would keep the geth under Reaper control. S/he then proceeds to face the 160m tall Reaper on foot. During the Sanctuary mission in the third game, Miranda reveals that everything she'd been doing in the past few months was a result of this feeling. Her words after killing her father? "It's finally over, for both of us. We can stop running." |

One Piece: Usopp, Nami, and Chopper all have moments like this in their solo battles (Usopp vs. Choo, Nami vs. Miss Doublefinger, Chopper vs. Gedatsu). Though the exact circumstances differ, the main point is that they're tired of being The Load in combat, and are going to kick ass, which they do. Lola had her shadow stolen by Gecko Moria and spent years hiding in Thriller Bark's forest as direct exposure to sunlight would kill her. During the climax of the battle with Moria, Lola declares she's done hiding in the shadows and will stay until the battle is over, even if that means dying to the rising sun. Throughout the series, there have been times when the Straw Hats have been forced to flee from powerful Marines, specifically, the ones with incredibly broken Devil Fruit powers. Near the end of the Dressrosa arc, with the Straw Hats and allies having to flee from an Admiral, Luffy decides to attack the Admiral, declaring that the reason he spent a Time Skip training was so he wouldn't have to run anymore. |

In Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, John advocates this strategy when dealing with Cromartie, saying he's tired of constantly running from him and wants to turn the tables on the Terminator. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Prehibernation Week", SpongeBob promises his friend Sandy that he'll play with her every day until she has to go into hibernation. Her ideas of "playing" turn out to be a series of painful activities such as a game of "Find the Hay in the Needlestack". He eventually decides to run away from her for the rest of the episode and go into hiding, but at the very end, he confronts her rather than running from her and lets her know that her idea of "playing" together just isn't his cup of tea. However, in the middle of his explanation, she falls asleep and starts hibernating. In "No Free Rides", Mrs. Puff becomes horrified at the consequences of her giving SpongeBob an undeserved driver's license, imagining him ruining the town and decides she'll have to change her identity and start fresh somewhere else... then she resolves "...no. Not again!" |

Towards the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Davy Jones is dead, and the Dutchman seems to have been destroyed, but the Armada's still waiting. When Gibbs argues that it's time to embrace "that oldest and noblest of pirate traditions", Jack of all people declares that he's "never one for tradition." It probably helps that he knew that the Dutchman had a different captain by now. | |

Alan spends most of Jumanji running from manhunter Van Pelt. Towards the end of the film, Alan is held at gunpoint by Van Pelt. When asked why he doesn't run when given the chance, Alan replies that his father always told him to face his fears. Aptly, Alan's father and Van Pelt are played by the same actor. | |

Watching her mistress be oppressed by a cruel God for several long years, as well as watching her be forced to send innocent people off to be smited, once she gets the chance to talk without any chance of Eneru hearing her, Conis's pet fox Su lets out everything she wants to say, declares Eneru a tyrant, and begs the Straw Hats to defeat him. |

While SpongeBob tries to run, Patrick, after enduring a ton of hardship and character development that would normally signal for them to get serious: | |

Star Trek Expanded Universe: In the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel The Devil's Heart, the Due or Die bar owner Camenae got tired of having her homes shot out from under her, first her homeworld of El-Auria and then Starbase 193. If it had not been for Commander Estrella Miyakawa not wanting to run from the Romulans and the two finding each other on the abandoned Starbase, both women would have died when the Romulans destroyed the base. | |

Brain Dead 13: In the final confrontation with Dr. Neurosis, Lance is faced by Fritz, who wants to unleash Trigger-Happy terror upon him by unloading every weapon he's got. Of course, Lance can have a choice of running away again by pressing right first or by pressing left twice, but that would only waste more time in endless chasing. The solution? Lance has to move left once, and then right, in order to show Fritz and Neurosis that our hero is tired of running away, then makes a Badass Arm-Fold and a "Take That!" Kiss to show that he is not afraid and is ready for one more challenge that awaits him. | |

The Warriors: Cowboy and Ajax are being chased through an NYC park by the Baseball Furies, who outnumber them. When Cowboy gasps out that he can't run anymore, Ajax snarls, "Well, good! I'm sick of running from these wimps!" They stop and stand their ground, proving that the Warriors are each worth more than a few Furies. | |

In an episode of Codename: Kids Next Door that parodies Star Trek (in a rather bizarre episode set in a giant bathtub, heavily implied to be All Just a Dream Tommy is having after being forced to take a bath), Tommy meets up with a pirate crew trying to avoid a giant rubber duck trying to dump them into the bath water they sail. Eventually, Tommy suggests they fight back, much to the crew's shock, until the captain agrees with the plan. For added fun, when Tommy tells the crew not to run, one replies "Well, walking won't help us either". The giant duck turns out to be a machine operated by the captain's mother who's been trying to force her son to take his bath for over 20 years. | |

Star Wars Legends: In The Cestus Deception, one of the guerrillas sums it up as "Resta sick to death of backin up. Resta not backin up no more." In Galaxy of Fear, Hoole and the Arrandas decide it is time to quit running at the end of "The Hunger". They'd been looking into joining the Rebels off and on for a while, but this is also the book where they really get a chance to do so. |

In Arms and the Man, Bluntschli has been on his feet for three days straight without sleep, low on food and morale, has been running for his life the past day or more, and finally makes it to "shelter" in Raina's bedroom, where he holds her at gunpoint, hoping he can hide here from the soldiers who pursue him. Halfway through the scene he caves, points out that his gun doesn't even have any ammo... and then they hear soldiers entering the house. Bluntschli tells Raina to hide her eyes, as it'll all be over in a minute — but of course she has a wild bout of heroism and finds a way to hide him. | |

Sazh and Vanille have spent the entire first half of Final Fantasy XIII running away from the Sanctum. Then they both attempt to run from life itself; Sazh attempts suicide when his son falls into (what he thinks is) an eternal crystal sleep, and Vanille offers her own life to Sazh out of guilt for inadvertently causing that tragedy and much more trying to avoid her own destructive mission. They both decide it's time to stop running; Sazh lives in the hope that his son will wake up eventually, and Vanille decides to face her own and her friends' fate. | |

At the climax of The Fugitive, Inspector Gerard (who is by now fully aware that Kimble is innocent), calls out to him, "Give it up! It's time to stop running!", implying that Kimble must be feeling like an example of this trope. The novelization also cites his increasing exhaustion as the story progresses, causing Gerard to tell him with sincere concern that he can't hang on much longer and will eventually get to this point. | |
