* ''[[Mega Man ZX]]'' finally drops that anvil, in a good way: (spoiler alert)
{{quote|'''Giro''': Don't tell me you forgot your promise already. You did mean it, right?
'''Aile''': Giro!? But, [[In the Blood|the blood that flows in me...]]
'''Giro''': Is just blood. Are you going to let some man you don't even know decide your destiny for you? Destiny is not something that is given to us by others. Destiny comes from the concept of "destine," or directing something towards a given end. Be the one doing the directing. Only you can decide your destiny.
'''Aile''': Only I can decide my destiny...
'''Giro''': Yes. Forget the past. It means nothing. The power you contain within is the key to creating your future. }}
*** There is also this:
Line 981:
It's also reinforced by "City of Stone" and "Hunter's Moon."
{{quote|'''Goliath:''' No! Killing her (Demona) won't solve anything! Death never does!
'''Luna:''' He is right, Macbeth. Duncan was afraid that your father would make you king. [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy|Did your father's death stop you from becoming king?]]
'''Macbeth:''' [[You Can't Fight Fate|No!]]
'''Seline:''' You wanted revenge for your father. [[Cycle of Revenge|Did Gillecomgain's death settle that score?]]
'''Macbeth:''' No.
'''Phoebe:''' [[Senseless Sacrifice|Did your own death save your son Luach from Canmore?]]
'''Macbeth:''' [[Tear Jerker|No...]]
'''Goliath:''' Death is never the answer; life is! }}
* The Christmas Episode of ''[[Sabrina the Animated Series]]'' did a unique spin on the typical Christmas Carol plot where a Scrooge is scared into being nice for the holidays. Sabrina is fed up with Gem's attitude to Christmas (which itself gets cranked up for the episode, even having Gem make people line up to hear what gift they have to buy her) and tries to cast a spell to scare her with the Christmas Carol touch. However it doesn't work and only makes Gem love herself even more so Sabrina ends up giving her a gift anyway and wishing her Merry Christmas. Gem then realises that no one else cared to be with her on Christmas and so joins Sabrina's family for dinner. So the message becomes "don't try to change someone just because you don't like their attitude, try being nice in the hope they'll reciprocate".
