Line 389:
** In "Failsafe", the entire team is defeated by the invading aliens without achieving any victory where the team was successful in running numerous offense action. {{spoiler|The entire point of the training exercise was to see how the team could cope after losing the league as support.}}
* Surprisingly averted in ''[[The Weekenders]]''. The characters' parents are all [[Reasonable Authority Figure|reasonable authority figures]] who're receptive and in-touch with their children, and just about ''always'' have the right thing to say. (Especially Tino's mom, who is [[Genre Savvy]].) Even Tish's mom, when she is shown as acting like a child eventually realizes that it was bothering Tish and stopped, but nevertheless enjoyed the weekend she spent with Tish and her friends. Carver's dad, portrayed as a rather uncaring authority figure by Carver is simply just stern...and it was Carver misinterpreting every chore and favour as a "punishment".
* [[Disney]] cartoons in recent years tend to subvert this. In ''[[Gravity Falls]]'', Grunkle Stan is, from the start, far more on the ball regarding the weird happenings in than Dipper and Mable assume, and manages to be the hero numerous times. In both ''[[The Owl House]]'' and ''[[Amphibia]]'', the protagonists' parents are a ''little'' skeptical at first when they learn what their daughters are facing, but in both cases, they catch on ''fast''.
