* ''Comicbook/SpiderMan'': In ''The Clone Conspiracy'', Spidey points out that [[spoiler:Ben Reilly/the Jackal]] hasn't [[spoiler:brought back Uncle Ben, when he's cloned just about everyone else Peter knows who died, ever]]. He says the reason is that [[spoiler:Uncle Ben would disapprove of what Reilly is doing, and Reilly wouldn't be able to argue with him]]. The response?

* In ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}: One Bad Day - Penguin'', Batman confronts Penguin as he leads his gang to launch an assault on the Iceberg Lounge to take back his criminal empire from his usurper Umbrella Man. The Penguin promptly gives Batman an epic TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, explaining that the only reason crime in Gotham was ''manageable'' was because Penguin made it that way [[PragmaticVillainy since it was good for business]] - and that Batman only thrived because Penguin made sure never to arm the rogues enough that they'd be able to take him out, ensuring they'd come back to him for more supplies. He caps it off by explaining that Umbrella Man does not have the same standards, and thus Batman's only real option [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork is to let Penguin take care of Umbrella Man.]] Batman reluctantly steps aside.

Times where an antagonist [[ShutUpKirk rejects the heroes']] [[KirkSummation attempt to reason with them]] in ComicBooks.
----

* In ''ComicBook/TheBlackRing'', when Franchise/{{Superman}} realises that Luthor's hatred for him is going to poison the perfect world Lex has created, he starts out giving him a lecture on the importance of keeping hold of his peace, and then starts ''apologising'' for whatever he's done that Lex hates him for, but to Luthor, it all sounds like the KirkSummation, and he screams at Supes to be quiet.
* Inverted then played straight in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' DC finale "Smart and Smarter". Blossom has let her admittance to a school for exceptionally smart children [[InsufferableGenius go to her head]], so she psychoanalyzes Bubbles' and Buttercup's routines critically to where it alienates them as well as Mojo Jojo.
-->'''Blossom:''' Girls! I realize that your reading level is not past Dr. Seuss, but in studying the literature of renowned authors such as Chaucer and Jane Austen we have discussed character motivation. A strong motivation propels a character's action. Now, Bubbles, what is your primary motivation for fighting well against Mojo?\\
'''Bubbles:''' ''(upset, teary-eyed)'' So you won't yell at me and say I have [[{{Malapropism}} interior intelligence]].\\
'''Blossom:''' And you, Buttercup?\\
'''Buttercup:''' ''(angrily)'' Usually it's to beat the pucky out of him! But today it's to get you to shut up!\\
'''Mojo:''' ''(to Blossom)'' I am with Powerpuff Girl Buttercup! It is time for you to put a sock in it, the "it" being your mouth! [[TalkingIsAFreeAction Now I am not one to talk about not talking because if there is one thing that I like, it is expressing through words how much more intelligent I am than all those around me]]. But you, Powerpuff Girl Blossom, have taken this self-expression to an annoying and hurtful level.
* ''ComicBook/ThePunisherKillsTheMarvelUniverse'': ComicBook/CaptainAmerica faces off against Frank Castle (which on this "WhatIf" has become a [[CapeBusters superhero-killing crusader]] courtesy of his family being stuck on the crossfire of a typical battle of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse) and tries to bring him back to his senses by appealing to his sense of duty as a soldier. Frank's response begins with him saying "I guess I'm just having a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_Massacre My Lai]] kind of day" and when Cap [[FishOutOfTemporalWater doesn't understand what Frank means]]...
-->'''Frank Castle:''' ''(After explaining the reference ([[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar he personally saw that event]]), which gave him enough time [[CrazyPrepared to take hold of the gun he concealed on the battlefield]] [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange and point it point-blank at the back of Cap's head]])'' You don't know what [[CrusadingWidower I've been through]].

* ''Comicbook/SpiderMan'': In ''The Clone Conspiracy'', Spidey points out that [[spoiler:Ben Reilly/the Jackal]] hasn't [[spoiler:brought back Uncle Ben, when he's cloned just about everyone else Peter knows who died, ever]]. He says the reason is that [[spoiler:Uncle Ben would disapprove of what Reilly is doing, and Reilly wouldn't be able to argue with him]]. The response?
--->'''[[spoiler:Ben Reilly]]''': ''(turns to cloned villains)'' Kill him.
* In ''Spider-Man and the X-Men'', after Spider-Man learning of Sauron's and Stegron's plan to use genetic engineering to turn the people of Staten Island into dinosaurs, he points out that they could use the technology for altruistic means such as curing cancer. Sauron gives a straightforward response.
-->'''Sauron:''' But I don't ''want'' to cure cancer. I ''want'' to turn people into dinosaurs.
* Happened in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersAllHailMegatron''. When Prime returned to put the kibosh on Megatron, he began with his CatchPhrase about freedom being the right of all-- '''OH, SHUT UP!!'''
* ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'':
** A fairly tragic example in ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', mostly because it's taking place in a fight that ends in [[spoiler: Peter's death]].
--->'''Peter:''' What's the plan, Osborn? I'm dying to know... What next? You kill me, [[AndThenWhat then what next]]? The son you killed won't magically come back to life! Your world as a captain of industry won't magically go back to the way it was! And your hair... Won't magically come... into fashion!\\
'''Goblin:''' But you'll be dead.
** ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'': ComicBook/JeanGrey gave a speech that they should not kill the soldiers, that it's wrong, even if they're evil. Rogue tried to silence her by touching her, but Iceman freezer her hand.
