Big Fight

GOOD v EVIL TONITE: 9:00 PM EST

The final fight between the Hero and Villain. This battle is often saved for the end of the story and decides which ending it will have. The Big Fight is likely the most difficult of the Hero's journey as they confront who might be their most powerful enemy. If they want any chance of emerging from the Big Fight victoriously, the Hero must use everything they've learned over the course of their adventure. If they win, the story typically ends happily shortly after the fight comes to an end.

Because the Big Fight is so big, a little bit of death can be expected. The Hero can't die because they're the Hero. On top of this, they came too far to fail in any way now. Therefore, if the creators want a protagonist to die, they'll go with another one of the Good Guys or somebody who works closely to them. If someone has a Death Destiny, this is where their time comes to an end. However, they can continue to live until near the end of the battle at the earliest and up to the very end at the latest. If the second situation is true, then this person's death is what wins the fight for their friends and defeats the Villain. If not, then them dying pushes the tide of battle much in the favor of the protagonists and gives them the high grounds necessary to win. To Save The Audience from tears over losing one of their favorite protagonists, the writers might instead choose a Converted Ally to be the sacrificial piece in the decisive fight against the main antagonist.
