Beware the Nice Ones: Difference between revisions

This is also why pushing the [[Gentle Giant]] too far is generally a bad idea, and why [[Teach Him Anger|Teaching Him Anger]] is a ''suicidal'' idea.

 

 

See also [[Good Is Not Soft]], when a normally nice character realizes that nice will not get things done in a situation. They can coincide, if the realization and the outrage are triggered at the same time. The results are quite similar if they [[Madden Into Misanthropy]], the difference being the new misanthrope isn't so much a violent dynamo as a care free [[Jerkass]].

This is not to be confused with a character being a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]. While the latter trope's 'nice' image is usually just a facade for their genuinely callous personality, [[Beware the Nice Ones]] involves a genuinely nice character submitting to a rare act of malice. Repeated subjection of a nice character to this trope, though, may result in [[Flanderization|Flanderizing]] them to such a degree that it's impossible to tell the difference.

 

 

Subtropes included

[[Let's Get Dangerous]], [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]], [[Minored in Asskicking]], [[The So-Called Coward]], and [[Who's Laughing Now?]].

 

 

A [[This Means War]] declaration may be delivered as a result of it. For a common aftermath of this trope, see [[Cruel Mercy]].
