Failure Is the Only Option/Web Original

Examples of Failure Is the Only Option in Web Original works include:

• Lonelygirl15 - Goal: bring down the Order of Denderah.
• Red vs. Blue. Most of the Blue's and Red's plans end horribly. Only time they really win is when they work together. When they are trying to kill each other, for obvious reasons, they can't.
  • In Revelation it's revealed that Alpha was tormented by being placed in scenarios where it could never succeed. Also, because Tex was based on the Director's memory of a woman he loved, but her death was the thing he remembered most clearly, she also can never succeed; this is the reason why she never really accomplished her goals in Blood Gulch. She was designed to fail at the last moment.
• In The Salvation War, Satan himself orders the daemon Grand Duke Abigor to lead an army of approximately four hundred thousand daemons to Earth, to subjugate humanity after Yahweh reveals to the world that the pearly gates are closed, so that all humanity is doomed to go to Hell when they die, and Satan doesn't feel like waiting that long. Unfortunately for them it's 21st-century Earth (the point of divergence being January 2008), so forget the plan, the army itself does not survive first contact with their human enemies, and an overarching theme of the story is just how doomed the daemons were the moment they entered Earth.
• The Whateley Universe also falls under this with a few character arcs, generally intersecting with Mandy's Law of Gender Bending. However, it is also subverted in at least one case. Jade gets to become closer to being a real girl...using plain old surgery!
