Line 154:
*** It's not even entirely unjustified; Buffy's brilliant idea for funding her worldwide Slayer operation was to rob a Swiss bank with the aid of magic and Slayer powers; her justification was that it was probably Nazi gold, anyway.

:* Buffy is, unfortunately, far from the first Slayer to fit this Trope. The very first Slayer was Sineya, an African tribeswoman in a prehistoric era. Living in a time before the Old Ones were locked away and still free to menace humanity (including possibly Chthulhu itself, given one of the comics' illustrations) she certainly did her job admirably, but her own kinsmen (whom she protected) believed her to be just as much a demon as the creatures she fought, and cast her out. One could say Sineya had it much worse even than Buffy, having nobody to confide in and being truly alone in her task.
* Narutaki, a self-proclaimed "prophet", spreads rumors across realities about the eponymous ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'' being destined to destroy [[The Multiverse]]. {{spoiler|To be fair, Narutaki wasn't far from wrong.}}
* Starts to happen in [[Smallville]] Season 8 and in full force in Season 10.
