Line 405:
** Discord actually manages to [[Subverted Trope]] this. He is defeated the same way, but the Elements deem him to be undeserving (or incapable) of redemption and instead [[Taken for Granite|stick him right back]] in the [[Fate Worse Than Death]] he crawled out of. Before the attack, Discord even goes so far as to dare them to "Friend me".
*** [[Word of God]] states this is because Nightmare Moon was under the [[More Than Mind Control|influence]] of [[The Corruption]], while Discord, by contrast, is himself [[Reality Warper|a corrupting force]], not to mention a [[Nietzsche Wannabe]].
*** However, Discord undergoes a more traditional [[Heel Face Turn]] after being let out of his confinement in season 3... and then relapses in season 4... and then face turns ''again'' after being betrayed by [[Big Bad]] Lord Tirek.
* In an episode of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', [[Violent Glaswegian|Groundskeeper Willie]] defends the school from a [[Big Badass Wolf|wolf]], fighting the beast ''[[The Simpsons (animation)/Awesome|with his bare hands]]''. A later scene shows the two of them battered and bruised and sharing a drink.
* In a ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]: Secret of the Furious Five'', a short feature that explores the backstory of [[Kung Fu Panda]], we learn that Monkey was once a mischievous trickster, and only become good after being defeated by {{spoiler|Oogway}}.
* This is how [[Lilo and Stitch (Disney film)|Liloand Stitch]] tame Jumba's other experiments. Stitch fights them and once they're subdued Lilo finds their 'one true place'. Some of them, like Splodihead, even help Stitch befriend other cousins.
