The reason I read these books, including Brightly Burning, is simple — I find them enjoyable. There are times when I really don't care if the ultimate outcome is a given — the enemy army is destroyed, the evil blood-mage is defeated, the kingdom is saved, etc. I enjoy reading about how it happens. At some level, I inevitably get involved with the good and decent characters, want to see them triumph, and want to see how they get themselves out of the mess they're in. The characters in a Valdemar book are almost like an idealist's antidote for the moral ambiguity that the real world surrounds us with daily. You won't find any Mercedes Lackey heroes or heroines cheating on their spouses and having affairs with interns. You won't find them allowing the annexation of the Sudetenland, or making alliances with Stalin in order to fight Hitler — in Valdemar, they'll go it alone against them both, thank you very much.— Robert Francis reviewing Brightly Burning

"In every instance, good shall triumph over evil and the criminal [shall be] punished for his misdeeds." — The Comics Code made this mandatory.

"Doesn't matter what you try. Doesn't matter where I am or how badass you think you've become. 'Cause you know what? I'm Angel. I beat the bad guys."— Angel to Lyndsey McDonald, Angel

It doesn’t matter how flawless the scheme was, how impregnable the fortress or powerful the magical weapon, it always ends with a band of adolescents shouting utter platitudes as they tear it all down. The game is rigged so that we lose, every single time. Half the world, turned into a prop for the glory of the other half. Ah. How much worse it must be, coming from a culture that still teaches you you can win. We don’t even have that, Catherine. The hope of the happy ending. We get to cackle on the way down the cliff, or maybe curse our killer with our last breath.— The Black Knight, talking about this trope from the villains' point of view, A Practical Guide to Evil

Speedy: You think you're clever enough to avoid our scrutiny, Bad Bird? You think your nefarious plan can succeed?Guido: Do you honestly think we'd let your brand of evil triumph over good?Polly: No! Because Speedy's uncle writes all our scripts, and he would never, ever let that happen!— Samurai Pizza Cats

Girl Scout Julie: Look Susie, that man shot the soldier and is running away.Girl Scout Susie: Don't worry, Julie, they'll catch him, they always catch the bad guys.General Flagg: I wish that were true, little girl.— G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel)

Dracula: Completely impossible! Beaten by a little girl!Maria: Ha! Didn't you know? Good always wins!Dracula: Child... It's power that always wins. Good and evil are only words, illusions created by the powerful.Maria: I don't know what you mean, but I know you hurt a lot of people. No matter what you say, that's wrong!Dracula: So even as the world decays, innocence endures in eyes like yours. Fascinating...— Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

Buzz Lightyear: Gloat all you want, Zurg. Evil never wins.Evil Emperor Zurg: I must say I have noticed that. ...But this time it's different!Spoilers— Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

Optimus Prime: Good will always triumph over evil.Galvatron: Hah! You must be joking!Optimus Prime: Even if you destroy me, you haven't won — my friends will never stop fighting you, and if they fall, others will come forward. As long as all you care about is yourself, you'll have to take on the entire universe! You will never win!— Transformers: Cybertron, Episode 50, Unfinished

Daine had made up he rules and fixed them against himself. I hoped. In the flatties, the good guys always won. I was a private eye, a solid 100 per cent good guy. I was friends with crippled newspaper vendors, small Negro orphans and garrulous bartenders up and down the strip. Daine was a murderer, arsonist, dope peddler, pornographer, blackmailer, flamboyant thief and escaped convict. He was also a scandalous sexual degenerate, even if in the City [The Hays Code that just meant]] an inordinate fondness for modern art, black cats and correct grammar. I couldn't lose.— The Night Mayor

Classic Eggman: Do we ever win?Eggman: That depends on your definition of "win".Classic Eggman: Beating Sonic.Eggman: Oh, well, then no.— Sonic Generations

Scourge: Cheated... me... I'm... King... conquered... this whole planet... you're... nothing...Sonic: You're a bully and that's it. You take the easy, nasty way out and get the quick reward. Big whoop. I do things the right way. I help others to make something bigger and better than just mean. The good guys always win in the long run. And there isn't anybody who can run longer or better than I can.— Scourge getting beaten by Sonic again, Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), issue #196

Tarquin: Don't you see, Elan? The rules of drama to which you subscribe as a bard tell us that such tyrannies can exist — indeed, must exist — and persist long enough that no one realistically thinks they can be defeated. Else, where's the drama in a hero opposing them? And if such kingdoms are necessary, why shouldn't I rule one?Elan: But a hero always does oppose them! And beats them!Tarquin: You know, Elan, you can't always fixate on the negative.— The Order of the Stick, "Plotting Something"

"You won't succeed. In the end, evil never does!"— The Doctor, Doctor Who, "Snakedance"

All your bad guys die and your good guys surviveWe can tell what's gonna happen by page and age five!— George R. R. Martin, Epic Rap Battles of History

"Don't want to give away the story, but the Doom Raiders will ultimately fail. Trust me, I am from the future."— Blaster-Tron, Skylanders: Trap Team

Megatron: Do as I command, and we will defeat the Autobots once and for all!Negatron: Nope, not gonna work.Megatron: [sighs] Come on, what did we talk about?Negatron: Autobots always win. You think Optimus Prime's gonna be dead but then he's not dead.— Family Guy, "Tiegs for Two''

Wind River Higgins: I got a notion about crooks. I mean about the way they shoot in a gunfight.Randy Harker: Yeh?Higgins: I figger one right guy can outtrigger two wrong guys.Randy: You just said Thatcher's a crack shot. Knocked over an antelope on the run.Higgins: Shootin' at game and shootin' at a sheriff is two different things. Accordin' to my notion, when the chips are down a guilty conscience don't shoot straight. A crook's likely to be nervous, jumpy; he don't trust anybody, not even himself. He has to look five ways at once: north, south, east, west, and back down his own crooked past.— Long Lope To Lander

"She first made headlines as a rookie lawyer for taking on a too-big-to-fail bank in a no-win case....and winning."— Serge Storms: Clownfish Blues

Assurance had, in all respects, succeeded in its assignment, far beyond the imaginings of those who’d suggested the mission. What had begun as a chance for politicians to give lip service to the idea they were fighting piracy had resulted, against all odds, in the complete collapse of every criminal organization in this section of the Slice. It was past anyone's expectations, especially the captain's.— Star Wars: The Living Force

"HOW DOES SHE ALWAYS MANAGE TO EMERGE TRIUMPHANT WITH NO NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES WHATSOEVER? HOW?"— Xerses Vandire, The Weaver Option

"Oh, I just wanted to say goodbye, and remind you that the good guys always win. Even in The '80s!"— Hunter, Megaforce

"Darkness is fated to eventually be destroyed..."— Ryu Hayabusa, Warriors Orochi 3
