Is there a variant where the speech giver attempts to be rousing, but actually makes the situation worse? Or is that just Playing With the trope?
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
What do the mythology examples have to do with speeches? Are they on the wrong page or just very poorly explained?
Oppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere.
Title? What Title?
I am utterly surprised that the page quote isn't the Crispin's Day speech. Do people really think a mere video game quote is a better example of a Rousing Speech than that?
Being in a Japanese-produced work is not enough of a difference to warrant its own trope. Hide / Show Replies
Page quotes should be relatively short. The Crispin's Day speech is great, but too long. Lots of the great ones are too long. That's why there's a Quotes Wiki page.

I think at least the last few lines of the Crispin's Day speech should be the quote. Either that or something from Churchill.
It can only be called fate. That here. I would again gather the three with the crests. That I should lay my hand on that which grants the wishes of the beholder. That when power, wisdom, and courage come together, the gods would have no choice but to come down.
A seperate trope for De-motivational speeches?
Sometimes, I've seen this trope subverted very strongly. In Knights of the Old Republic II, when asked to set up defenses, you can sabotage various things, including a speech to the defenders.
My favorite part of that speech is when the protagonist can say that it really hurts to be shot between the legs, so try not to get shot!
I recall a sub-trope: The speech is given by an American and also somewhat patriotic in nature with "John Brown's Body" be played in the background. Anyone else recall this?
