hi again and another crazy post of mine.

in here lest talk about the typical scene were the mother of a human child(being boy or girl, it does not matter)get killed by lest say.....aliens, any kind of sentient machines, bioroids(humans or any kind of organic beings that were created artificial to become sentient), others inorganic aliens, etc......

is in those kind of scifi stories(movies,TV and novels)were humans are at war against another sentient beings(whether from outer space or beings that were created by them)or aliens that come to invade earth and star hunting and capture humans(for food, slaves, resources, whatever...).

i have been reading and seeing and also investigating scifi stories for 6 years and i only know 1 scifi(in this case is anime and manga)story called galaxy express 1999 in both anime and manga format were a group of aristocratic robots hunt baseline humans just for the fun of it, and in here there is a scene very alike to the scene were bambi mother get killed by human hunters during winter:

this happens in the movie, tv series and manga version of this story.

but i don't know any other scifi story were this particular scene is demonstrate in a similar way or very alike.
do you?
if anybody in this forum know about scenes like that one, please feel free to post.

i know that in stories were humans are fighting with another sentient species many children and teenagers will become orphans, no doubt about it.
but the authors or creators of such stories never show the "tragic bambi scene" like in that anime I'm showing you above.

anybody know another scene in scifi like this one?

bye bye and happy posting.:D

Something approaching this at the beginning of A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge.

Its been a good while since I read that, but I do remember that scene. It happens early in the book. A family of humans; Dad, Mom, brother and sister; land on a planet. Soon after both parents are killed by the natives and the brother and sister are seperated. However I seem to remember the children not knowing if there parents had actually died, at least not the younger brother.

Excellent book, I would recommend reading it even if it does not meet your "bambi's death mother" criteria.

je! :D i just found the story complete in Spanish and reading the little scene of the death or capture of the whole human family by aliens that look like more like werewolf.
still have read more about that scene but seems to me that those aliens are sentient but primitive like the Navis from avatar.

and yes this is another scene just like i mention in the topic.
in these kind of scene not just the mother have to die but also both can dye while sacrificing for their children.
this happens a lot in animals stories.

thanks for the help.:)

found another example of this kind of tragic scenes but this time the parents that are killed here are not humans but some sort of furry aliens:

Sorry but nothing in science fiction reaches the emotional apotheosis of Bambi. You'll have to read Babar or watch Dumbo for that.

In one of Steve Stirling's Draka books there's a scene like that, but I don't have the books any longer and can't look it up.

There's another in which a mother, locked in a spaceship with two infants and no food, bleeds herself to death to feed them bottles of diluted blood.

oh i know this "author". he wrote 3 fan fic of "terminator 2" movie saga.

anyway the last scene you told me were a mother bleed to death in order to feed her children is in the same book above?
anyway that seem very dramatic.

the other scene you don't remember right?
