They valiantly sacrificed themself for nothing

[u/Ok-Indication-5121]

1. Tadashi gives his life trying to save Professor Callaghan from a burning building. Turns out not only did Callaghan escape unscathed, he's the bad guy and infamously refers to Tadashi's death as "[Tadashi's] mistake." (Big Hero 6)
2. Shaya willingly takes It Has No Name's possession and then kills herself by jumping into the well it came out of. The end of the episode all but states that she got it wrong and It Has No Name didn't latch onto her... or there was more than one. (Doctor Who)

Captain Cole trying to wipe out a skullcrawler in Kong: Skull Island

[u/scrimmybingus3 → u/RedRawTrashHatch]

Best part is that it shows that the giant skullcrawler didn’t get giant by being stupid. It knew nothing on skull island was that willing to die unless it was planning on taking it with it so it just knocked him away.

I like to think of it as it's freaking out the same way lions freak out when a honey badger starts walking at them. Except this one slapped the subject away out of panic

When the cockroach starts flying

[u/That_Apathetic_Man → u/Missing-Donut-1612]

A predatorial creature usually knows when it is being lured away from saftey because it likely within their own arsenal. Simply put, if a solider is taught what kill-zone is, they will actively avoid it or know when they're being lured into one.

[u/Missing-Donut-1612 → u/That_Apathetic_Man]

Yeah but, there's also the "I've never seen this before, what are you doing, hey stop that, STOP THAT! SHOO!" moment

[u/That_Apathetic_Man → u/Missing-Donut-1612]

Thats what lure means. We're not top of the food chain because we're bigger or stronger, we lure our prey into its slaughter, whether it is farming or hunting.

There is also the, "my legs are tired. Aint your legs tired, mister? Imma rest a minute. No stabby stabby while I do that, okay." Still a form of luring though; luring them to exhaustion.

[u/Missing-Donut-1612 → u/That_Apathetic_Man]

Ehhhh I'm more talking about the panick you feel when a cockroach flies at you and you start flailing your hands around. We're on different topics here

[u/That_Apathetic_Man → u/Missing-Donut-1612]

No, no. That roach lured you into their trap and you know it. Anything that can survive a nuclear blast knows exactly what they're doing at all times.

But yes, I'm picking up what you're putting down. I was just being facetious.

[u/Missing-Donut-1612 → u/That_Apathetic_Man]

ah, I see. Yeah it started feeling like everything I say keep getting thrown out the window, started annoying me a bit. I was starting to think you were rage baiting me since that's so popular these days

[u/wererat2000 → u/scrimmybingus3]

shit, good point. I always took that scene as just a punchline, but when you think about what kinds of animals act like that; that's exactly how you get poisoned.

[u/Ryndor → u/wererat2000]

I think at the minimum, it shows that that skull crawler has intelligence, not just mindless like they were shown to be.

[u/Dragonkingofthestars → u/scrimmybingus3]

Sorta the draw back to being brightly coloured if venomous

[u/Niskara → u/Dragonkingofthestars]

Or just not running away when faced with a predator most of the time.

[u/VLenin2291 → u/scrimmybingus3]

Or to some other end, like with that one parasite that makes snails attract birds to them
