Thanos’ snap in Infinity War and the final scene of Game of Thrones’ Hardhome.
Right after the most intense moments (the fight against Thanos and his army and the attack of the Night King while discussing if the clans should unite), the heroes lose and the music stops.
It sends a message of hopelessness: that the heroes weren’t good enough, that the situation is more serious than you would think (as serious as a movie or tv show can be), and that there’s no evident solution to the threat.
That’s it. I tried to search for other movies or series that do this but haven’t found anything so far.
