Hourglass Plot: Difference between revisions

* This happens in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' episode aptly named "Crossroads of Destiny" between Aang and Zuko. Aang is [[The Chosen One]] who up to that point had successfully fought off [[The Empire]], while Zuko was a banished, disgraced prince abandoned by his father, the [[Evil Overlord]] of said empire, [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|after repeatedly failing to capture Aang]]. {{spoiler|The episode finally sees Aang defeated with Zuko's help, and the following episode brings out that Zuko is now accepted as a prince again in his home country with the approval of his father and famed for killing [[The Hero]], while Aang is thought to be dead after having failed to defend the capital of the one country that could fight against [[The Empire]]}}.

* On ''[[Gargoyles]],'' the three-part "Hunter's Moon" arc has three siblings acting as the current [[The Hunter|Hunters]]. Jason, the oldest and leader, hates gargoyles the most; the youngest, Jon, was willing to believe gargoyles other than [[Kill All Humans|Demona]] might be innocent. When it seems like the gargoyles are responsible for Jason's death, however, Jon snaps and turns fully against them; Jason, meanwhile, actually survives and [[Heel Realization|realizes the gargoyles are good]]. When Jason tried to defend them against Jon, the latter accidentally shoots and paralyzes the former, which he quickly blames on the gargoyles (in a [[Not So Different]] moment with Demona).
