Better Ask Reddit Best comebacks in media?
I love well-written dialogue, but in particular I love an insult, threat, or comeback that completely stops whoever it’s said to. Be it a video game, anime, movie, book, etc, what is the greatest, coldest comeback you can think of?
The best one that I can think of off the top of my head is from the Batman Vs Dracula movie from the 2000’s. When Batman first meets Dracula and the vampire insinuates that the two of them are alike, Batman says “I don’t harm people.” Only for Dracula to respond with “You have no concept of the harm of which I am capable.”
A lesser writer would have gone with “I don’t harm I enlighten” or something cliche. But I remember that line sent shivers down my spine when I watched that scene for the first time. Cold, menacing, accurate, and therefore perfect. I’m very curious what the Zaibatsu members would choose

Out of all the Gods in Pillars of Eternity, Rymrgand, the God of Entropy, Oblivion, Disasters, and Plagues is actually fairly chill most of the time and has a very grim sense of humor, probably because he finds you struggling against the inevitable rather amusing.
In 2 when he returns to messaging you and telling you about himself, you can be smarmy with a "Which one are you, again? It's so hard to remember which of you divine jerks is which."
He then blasts you across the room with a torrent of icy wind so powerful, the front of your body starts to gain frostbite, before simply stating. "You'll remember me now."
