Line 60:
*** Don't forget that Buu actually destroyed two planets full of intelligent beings. Since one of those planets was not wished back into existence, then we have the [[Fridge Horror]] that the good people and animals on the planet died again if the wish accidentally included them. Plus, there may have been people who would have been willing to redeem themselves and become good after spending sometime in Hell. Thus, a few people may have been denied a fair chance. Also, please note, the term "good people" included animals.
** While not as crazy as the above two examples, there's also the time when everyone who Cell killed [[Death Is Cheap|was resurrected]]. A lot of those were people living on islands that Cell destroyed. Unless the wish meant those islands were remade too, they likely drowned long before making land. Way to go, Yamcha, asking for wishes without thinking them first.
* Similar to the ''Dragonball Z'' example above, in ''[[
* A lot of Lolicon and Shotacon Hentai can end up this way if you know how damaging incest and pedophilia can be to little kids.
* [[Defied Trope|Defied]] in [[Princess Mononoke]]. It turns out to be a [[Bittersweet Ending]] at best, {{spoiler|especially with the Forest Spirit gone, the war killing so many humans and animals, and San openly asking [[What Now? Ending|where do they go from here]],}} but Ashitaka openly admits the world can start to rebuild. Even the people at Irontown, specifically Lady Eboshi, decide to make amends.
Line 74:
* One 1970's ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]]'' story, in a clear homage to the recently released film ''[[Star Wars]],'' had the team flying around in Quinjets cheerfully destroying an attacking spacefleet sent by [[Thanos]]. The Avengers have repeated many times that they never kill, but all those blown up spaceships had people... er, aliens on board. Oh well. [[MST3K Mantra|It looked cool, though!]] This also probably counts as a [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]] moment since many Marvel and DC heroes have this attitude toward aliens, surprisingly enough.
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] and parodied in Scott McCloud's one-shot, over-sized comic ''Destroy!'': Two super-powerful heroes fight in New York City (and the surface of the Moon), destroying a good many buildings in the process. Until the very end, the only dialogue is '''Destroy!''' quickly met with '''Shut up!!'''; at the end, a bystander (police?) opines, 'Good thing no-one was hurt.'

Line 336:
* ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'' lets you visit Alefgard from the first game. Only the first castle is on the map. The other towns are replaced with a patch of desert.
* ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'''s World of Darkness is covered in constant night, and happens to have another world directly above it. When the hero uses the Ball of Light, the source of the darkness is destroyed so it is always daytime. Either the ball is providing the source of light, or the world above was destroyed to let the light in.
* ''[[
* Square-Enix's Ivalice games imply this. ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]'' and ''[[Vagrant Story]]'', though published first, are the last two games in the timeline. They take place centuries or millenia after the ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'' games and ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' and its sequel. The latter four games feature a setting filled with other intelligent humanoid races all living intermingled with each other. The former two games feature no races other than humans.
** There is vague reference to The Cataclysm in FFT, but no explanation of its nature has been given save that humanity was spared from it by the actions of the Hero-King Mesa. Nor is there an explanation for why or how he failed to save any other races.
