* Most [[Romantic Comedy|Romantic]] and Tragic Comedies are boy and girl wants each other and their jobs, jealous rivals and social statuses are keeping them apart.
* Most [[Shojo]] comics, being a mix of [[Slice of Life]] and romance are about the heroine finding love while becoming a model/mangaka/singer/circus clown and there are a shitload of mean students/coworkers, [[Alpha Bitch
* Fairy tales where the child had a goal at the beginning, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters, Aladdin, etc.
* The protagonist of an "escape plot" gets their own ball rolling by trying to escape their personal prison.

** ''[[Apollo 13]]'', ''[[The Perfect Storm]]'' (though you could argue the storm itself is an active villain).
* War movies and [[Video Games]] in which the heroes are on the offense. The [[Mooks]]' goal is just to wait for you to come to them, and then kill you.
** ''[[The Longest Day]]'', ''[[
* In the ''Firestar'' series, the protagonist is an industrialist who, since she was a teenage girl, has been throwing everything into a space program so that humanity can incinerate any threatening asteroids. (Or [[The Final Frontier|get out of the way.]]) Her antagonists are surprisingly sympathetic Luddites, competing business interests, and people who have a grudge against her because of all the control issues she's gotten from decades believing the fate of humanity rests on her shoulders.

* ''[[Exalted]]'' gives us the Ebon Dragon, a [[Our Demons Are Different|Yozi]] who often acts as one of the principal antagonists of the setting. As he represents the cosmic principles of betrayal, villainy, and spite, it's very, ''very'' hard for him to act proactively. In fact, most of his powers rely around crushing or spiting others instead of pursuing his own direct goals, and the main reason he created [[Big Good|the Unconquered Sun]] was because that way, he could actually ''do something''.
* ''[[The Heritage of Shannara]]'' has a dark take on this. Our heroes are on a quest to gain he various talismans that they will need to stop [[Big Bad|Rimmer Dall]] and his [[The Heartless|Shadowen]]. [[Manipulative Bastard|Rimmer Dall]] for his part seeks only to delay them, because if his final plan succeeds it won't matter what they do. In the individual books this is also true, with Walker Boh seeking to gain the Black Elfstone, but [[Taken for Granite|Uhl Belk]], [[Sand Worm|The Maw Grint]], and [[Psycho for Hire|Pe Ell]] hindering him, and Wren trying to get the Elves home, but [[Super
