* The original ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic(1978 TV series)|The original ''Battlestar Galactica]]'']] was essentially a show about some 50,000 people surviving after their home planets were wiped out. Despite this, ''by the end of [[The Pilot]]'', the cast essentially ignored the genocide.
** In the [[Darker and Grittier]] (and how!) [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|re-imagined series]], the realisation that there's no one left is brought crashing down on the survivors in all subsequent seasons (though the losses they all would have suffered in the initial attack are continually ignored), the one glimmer of hope being when the Battlestar ''Pegasus'' showed up. And that turned out to be commanded by a loony, power-mad admiral.
** And then there's the ''ending'' of the series, {{spoiler|where the survivors (humans and friendly Cylons) end up on our Earth in the past and throw away all available technology and start over on a peaceful world free of war where man can live in harmony with nature. The idea that this means plowing fields by hand, building houses by chopping down trees with stone axes, dying in childbirth, being killed by starvation and disease and wild animals, and losing all of their culture, while being completely unable to warn anyone about the cycle of history seems not to occur to anyone.}} Given that the finale implies {{spoiler|the Colonials will be introducing language (presumably with writing) and farming but such things didn't show up for another 100,000 years, there is even more support for the idea that things didn't go very well. The fossils found in the [[Distant Finale]] indicate that even Hera died young.}}
* Every episode of ''[[Power Rangers]]'' becomes disturbing to watch when you see how many buildings are toppled by megazords and giant monsters. To be fair, the writers sometimes [[Hand Wave]] this by putting in abandoned places or quarries. Also, one has to wonder what the casualties were in such episodes like "Countdown to Destruction", where all of the [[Big Bad]]s from the first six seasons decided to conquer Earth and some other planets. The whole city gets raided. Even a [[Humongous Mecha|megazord]] gets toppled by a bunch of [[Mooks]].
