'''Note:''' Be careful not to just stick this trope onto any pacifistic characters, whether [[Technical Pacifist|technical]], [[Actual Pacifist|actual]], or [[Martial Pacifist|martial]]. The tropes are related, but one does not automatically imply the other.

Line 37:
* ''[[The Batman (Animation)|The Batman]]'' has one episode where [[Batman]] actually tries to make sense of [[The Joker]]. By the end, it is safe to say that Batman figures out that doing this is an exercise of futility and madness.
* [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Aang]] holds this view for the majority of the first season, in keeping with his pacifistic views. Even at the end, when he's facing a [[Complete Monster]] like Ozai, he can't bring himself to kill him until {{spoiler|the lion-turtle gives him an [[Eleventh Hour Superpower]]}}.
* Henry Pim in ''[[The Avengers: EarthsEarth's Mightiest Heroes (Animation)|The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes]]'' will often try to reason with enemies first, especially if they used to be his villainy-rehab patients. In his defense, it almost works on Wonder Man before Iron Man brings down an [[Interrupted Cooldown Hug]].
