Watching Troy Burn is what the heroes do as they see a home or place they care about being attacked and possibly even having already been destroyed. And the thing that makes it so heart-wrenching to them is that for some reason, there's nothing that they can do about it. This trope is often paired with a camera technique to personalize this and drive it home to the viewers, who (let's face it) have likely been desensitized to this sort of thing. The camera will show the heroes approach a cliff/window and get a Reaction Shot of each, then turn and take a good, long look at the burning/ruined panorama, zooming from behind the heroes to a bird's eye view. They'll likely stand agape, The Heart will likely cling to The Hero and turn away from the carnage, and at least one hero will fall to their knees and/or scream to the heavens. It doesn't have to be their actual hometown, or even a town, though it can be and this makes it hurt all the more when a war unleashes chaos and destruction on the homefront when the war was supposed to be far away. A bad guy thrashing the hero's secret base, a Base on Wheels, or a friendly king's castle can have the same effect. Basically, any landmark/large object/population center the heroes have a large emotional attachment to can be the "Troy." That said, burning a place that is physically gorgeous like the Shining City can have double the emotional impact. Villains into Evil Gloating will likely enjoy forcing a captured hero watch the destruction. The placement of Watching Troy Burn in a story changes its intended effect. When used at the beginning it's a Doomed Hometown, meant to make it personal for the heroes. In the middle of a story, it ups the emotional stakes, Anyone Can Die and this Big Bad is not a Harmless Villain whose defeat will ensure no harm happens. In the end, and it's likely a cause for a Downer Ending or at best Bittersweet Ending. May lead to The Ruins I Caused, although often enough the hero is not given the chance to look back. This trope is often caused by Trouble Follows You Home This trope is named for the city of Troy, which after years of being besieged was penetrated by the Trojan Horse and razed to the ground. All over Helen. Often preceded by All Your Base Are Belong to Us. See also A Million Is a Statistic. Contrast Rape, Pillage, and Burn, which is what those within "Troy" experience. Contrast also While Rome Burns, for cases where the characters show a nonchalant attitude about the destruction. As you can guess, this is a Spoiler trope, so read the examples at your own risk. |

One of Akus' preferred methods for dealing with strong opponents in Samurai Jack, as was shown with both Jacks' Father and later talked of by a Viking Chieftain: watching as their cities were destroyed by the master of Darkness while they were bound in place. While Jack's father was able to break out of his imprisonment to seal away Aku and save his wife and newborn son, the Viking wasn't as fortunate due to Aku learning from his previous mistake and instead of anchoring him to a tree and left alone like he did to Jacks' father, the Viking was sealed in crystal and later buried beneath the earth after seeing his home and entire family destroyed. | |

Happens thrice in Suikoden V. The first occurs after the coup, a major Player Punch accompanied by a real sense of loss even if it's sort of a Foregone Conclusion. The second is Lelcar being set ablaze, driving home just how far the enemy is willing to go since it's one of their own cities they're torching. The third is the attack on Beaver Lodge, which pushes the enemy from any argument of Well-Intentioned Extremist to monsters openly planning genocide to "purify Falena". In all cases, the target is the hometown of several of the 108 Stars of Destiny, and attention is always given to their reaction. | |

Once could say that Halo: Reach is really just about this. Reach is doomed and mostly depopulated, but you stay in the burning ruins to the very end. Played especially straight at the opening cutscene of the "Exodus" level, when Noble Six crests a hill, only to see the "crown jewel" city of New Alexandria being razed and glassed by the Covenant. Includes a drawn-out camera reveal over the hill and a brief pause as Six surveys the damage, poignantly holding Jorge's dogtags. |

Power Rangers: Power Rangers Turbo ends with Divatox's force invading, destroying and completely leveling the Command Center with the rangers still inside. They manage to survive but just barely. That was the second and far more dramatic time that happened. At the end of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, they were forced to watch the Command Center (which was about to be called the Power Chamber) get destroyed... only for it to get rebuilt by Zordon's power or the Zeo crystal or something. It's never really explained how it came back together the first time. |

At the beginning of Haven (2020), the islet where Yu and Kay have stationed the Nest is fractured in two by an earthquake, causing the Nest to roll downhill and lose several vital parts as the couple helplessly watch. In the bad ending, a squad of Hornets descend on the Nest and capture Yu and Kay for recalibration into their arranged marriages, reducing their former love nest to a smoking ruin in the process. | |

The Dark Knight Trilogy can be summed up as Bruce's struggle to prevent this from happening to Gotham and his numerous failings along the way. Ra's Al Ghul burns down Wayne Manor in Batman Begins while trying to destroy the city. Gotham's citizens being driven into a frenzy in The Dark Knight feels this way emotionally to the characters as well. Summed up by Alfred in reference to the Joker: "Some men just want to watch the world burn." Gotham City getting overrun by Bane in The Dark Knight Rises merges the two. An Invoked Trope by Bane who believes Bruce's punishment for interferring must be much more severe so he sets up a TV in his prison cell so he can watch it happening in real time. Not to mention all 'the fire rises' motifs he uses throughout the movie. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Subverted in Avatar: The Last Airbender: At the end of the second season, our heroes take one last look at Ba Sing Se (now under enemy control). But the fallen capital doesn't look any different, because the takeover was entirely political. In the Sequel, The Legend of Korra, it goes the other way with Amon and the Equalists decimating the Pro-bending stadium and blowing up the ring. Unlike Ba Sing Se, everything is a wreck. Near the end of season 3 Ba Sing Se falls into this trope. The Queen is assassinated and the city fall into chaos as rioters and looters overwhelm the place. The last we see the whole city is in flames. |

In the final scene of Sodom and Gomorrah, Ildith cannot resist taking one final look at the fire and brimstone consuming her former hometown, despite her husband Lot's warnings that Jehovah will smite anyone who looks back for doing so out of regret for the city's wicked ways. Sure enough, she is promptly turned into a pillar of salt. | |

Done in both FreeSpace and the Silent Threat expansion. In the original, you have to try to fend of high-speed fighters in a bomber before an invincible superdestroyer finishes of the GTD Galatea, your homebase for the first half of the campaign. In the expansion, you can't keep the GTI insurgency from destroying the GTD Krios, your homebase for the first part of the campaign. The emotional impact is helped by the fact that the main menu is the interior of the ship you are based on, so when they are destroyed and you have to relocate to another destroyer, the graphic changes. | |

Final Fantasy IX has several of these where summons are used as weapons of mass destruction. You are generally treated to the complete destruction, or in the very least decimation, of every single town or settlement, and in one case an entire planet, that you visit. Dagger's first hometown, the Village of the Summoners gets Death from Above from Garland before the game starts. Freya's hometown of Burmecia is a charred ruin by the time you arrive, Cleyra and its population get hit with Odin, whose attack sequence plays out like an atom bomb. Lindblum is treated to a dual attack by Brahne's black mages and the summoned Atmos. In a serious Player Punch, Alexandria is ravaged by Bahamut, becomes a battleground between it and Alexander, before being carpet-bombed by Garland- leaving poor Dagger mute. Finally, Terra is treated to multiple Ultimas via Kuja. | |

Superman: The Fall of Metropolis has Perry White watch helplessly as Metropolis is destroyed by missiles meant to destroy the city in case of an alien invasion. They were launched because of a lackey of Lex Luthor's refused to believe his boss would willingly surrender to Superman. In the Pre-Crisis era, three-year-old Kal-El watched helplessly as his parents shoved him in a rocket and launched him into space as their home crumbled around them and the planet exploded. In her different origin stories -The Supergirl From Krypton (1959), The Supergirl from Krypton (2004), Last Daughter of Krypton...-, as well as different alternate universes, Supergirl is the one who watches helplessly as her hometown Argo City gets destroyed and/or Krypton blows up while she gets blasted into space. At the climax of New Krypton, Superman is fighting Zod's soldiers and Supergirl is locked up in a radiation pod when the planet goes up in flames around them. And they can't do anything to save it. |

Lots of examples in World War Z. One particularly memorable one is the evacuation of Kyiv, where the city burns as the Ukrainian Army tries to sort out the infected refugees from the uninfected. Eventually, the city and all the bridges leading out of it are bombed with nerve gas to kill them all, since the leadership thinks it's impossible to sort out the zombies otherwise. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy II's PlayStation remake opens with the four protagonists, Firion, Maria, Guy, and Leon, fleeing from their burning hometown after the Emperor's forces have set torch to it. The cinema ends with them watching the conflagration from a nearby hilltop. Final Fantasy VII: Poor Cloud and Tifa go through this particular trauma several times throughout the course of the game. They see their hometown of Nibelheim burn to the ground once in person and then several times more thanks to Sephiroth's Mind Rapes and uncanny tendency to replay the scene whenever taunting Cloud. Final Fantasy IX has several of these where summons are used as weapons of mass destruction. You are generally treated to the complete destruction, or in the very least decimation, of every single town or settlement, and in one case an entire planet, that you visit. Dagger's first hometown, the Village of the Summoners gets Death from Above from Garland before the game starts. Freya's hometown of Burmecia is a charred ruin by the time you arrive, Cleyra and its population get hit with Odin, whose attack sequence plays out like an atom bomb. Lindblum is treated to a dual attack by Brahne's black mages and the summoned Atmos. In a serious Player Punch, Alexandria is ravaged by Bahamut, becomes a battleground between it and Alexander, before being carpet-bombed by Garland- leaving poor Dagger mute. Finally, Terra is treated to multiple Ultimas via Kuja. Inverted in Final Fantasy X, where the game starts off with Tidus beholding the ruins of his hometown, Zanarkand, before the 30-40 hour long flashback that is the game up to that point. Played straight with Rikku and the Al Bhed watching the destruction of Home. Final Fantasy XV: Noctis, Gladio, Ignis and Prompto watch from a cliff as their home, Insomnia, is razed by Niflheim and their daemons. Final Fantasy Tactics: Fort Zeakden isn't Ramza's hometown, but what happens there is still enough to change not only his outlook on life but the fate of Ivalice as a whole, and the first chapter ends on a freeze frame of it going up in flames. |

In Warrior Cats: The New Prophecy, all the Clans go through this when the humans destroy their forest and they have to watch, knowing there's nothing they can do about it. One of the more impressive of these scenes comes at the end of Midnight when Firestar watches as a bulldozer uproots Fourtrees, the ancient oak trees that the Clans thought would stand forever. | |

Doctor Who: "The Fires of Pompeii" has a scene where the Doctor and Donna watch the eruption of Vesuvius with the family they saved from Pompeii. Another curious example: Although not a strict example of this trope, as it is not observed by any of the characters, anyone who is familiar with the brief views of Gallifrey in the classic series, the short flashback in "The Sound of Drums", or at the very least comprehends the awe of the place from the descriptions given by the Doctor in the TV Movie and the New Series, will feel this trope when they see the brief view of Gallifrey during the Time War in "The End of Time", with the smashed Citadel, wreckages of Dalek ships and fires. "The Day of the Doctor" features a painting of Gallifrey's second city, Arcadia, in flames on the last day of the Time War. Being a Time Lord painting, it's in full 3D, of course. The title has some ambiguity, indicated as "No More"/"Gallifrey Falls", nobody is sure whether it's named in reference to the War Doctor's decision to end the war with a Mutual Kill or this trope respectively. The end of the episode reveals the Doctors' efforts in the episode succeeded, and the title is actually "Gallifrey Falls No More". |

This was an essential aspect of both the original and the remake of Battlestar Galactica. In the original, the Galactica left the Colonial Fleet during the Cylon ambush to race home because they feared the Cylon attack on the Fleet would be followed by an attack on the now-defenseless Colonies. They were too late; all they could do was watch in horror as the crowd that was gathered on Caprica to celebrate the peace treaty with the Cylons was instead massacred by strafing Cylon Raiders. In the remake, a lot of the miniseries and the mirror version The Plan showed the devastation of the Cylon attack, and the emotional devastation it wrought. The iconic photo of the soldier, fallen to his knees, in front of the burning skyline of the capitol city on Aerilon jumps to mind as a perfect example. |

One of the more impressive of these scenes comes at the end of Midnight when Firestar watches as a bulldozer uproots Fourtrees, the ancient oak trees that the Clans thought would stand forever. The SkyClan saga prequel novella Cloudstar's Journey shows this happening to SkyClan while their home is developed to make way for a suburb. Cloudstar is helpless as trees around him are torn down, and it's pretty heartbreaking. Happens in the Warrior's Refuge and Warrior's Return comic book spinoffs when Graystripe triumphantly returns to the forest, only to find it completely destroyed. He wanders around the destruction for a little while before Millie convinces him that his Clanmates are still out their somewhere. |

In the Sequel, The Legend of Korra, it goes the other way with Amon and the Equalists decimating the Pro-bending stadium and blowing up the ring. Unlike Ba Sing Se, everything is a wreck. Near the end of season 3 Ba Sing Se falls into this trope. The Queen is assassinated and the city fall into chaos as rioters and looters overwhelm the place. The last we see the whole city is in flames. |
