Kill Sat/Playing With

Basic Trope: A satellite equipped with a laser/cannon.

• Straight: While taking on a large/unkillable enemy, The Hero uses a tracking device to call down a laser blast from a satellite in orbit above them.
• Exaggerated: ???
• Justified: The in-universe government knew that this would happen sooner or later, and acted accordingly.
• Inverted: ???
• Subverted: The Hero attempts to use the targeting device on the enemy, but it's not working properly.
• Double Subverted: ...then the Hero realizes he was using it wrong and manages to target the enemy.
• Zig Zagged: ...but it's still not working, because the satellite isn't in the right position.
• Parodied: ...in response, the Hero uses a Precision F-Strike that shocks the enemy into a coma.
• Deconstructed: The blast from the satellite laser destroys the enemy, but also blasts the environment to bits and fatally wounds The Hero.
• Reconstructed: The Hero isn't as badly wounded as first thought, but goes through a Herioc RROD after using the laser.
• Averted: There are no satellite lasers used in the work.
• Enforced: Rule of Cool
• Lampshaded: "Let's bring down some superheated radiation on this bitch!"
  • "I'M FIRIN MAH LASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
• Invoked: "None of your weapons can so much as scratch me. I can shrug off a blast from a rocket launcher." "We haven't tried *every* weapon yet!"
• Defied: "Does it really warrant using the satellite laser though? We'll catch hell from command if we use it willy-nilly."
• Discussed: ???
• Conversed: ???
