== Anime and Manga ==

* This seemed to be the first place ''[[Sailor Moon]]'''s Galaxia had trouble with. To be fair, the TV show [[Adaptation Distillation|never goes too deeply]] into the original manga's premise of there being magical girls elsewhere in the galaxy aside from the [[Human Aliens|ridiculously human]] [[Sixth Ranger|alien Senshi]], but then [[Throwaway Country|the other planets Galaxia has conquered]] are probably just to show us she's an [[Rule of Escalating Threat|even bigger badass]].

** Early seasons at least, give lip service to Earth being an [[Insignificant Little Blue Planet]] but it doesn't really work.

** Justified at times, as often the threats are earth-based.

** Maybe... {{spoiler|"This has all happened before, and it will all happen again..."}}

** Turns out that {{spoiler|The Final Five Cylons were fleeing from a devastated Earth to find the mythical Twelve Colonies.}} Ironic, eh?

** And the epilogue reveals that {{spoiler|that planet wasn't our Earth, but quite different planet of the same name. The Colonials and their Cylon allies finally find an unnamed planet that is, according to them, filled with more life than all the Twelve Colonies put together, and inexplicably also houses primitive ''Homo sapiens'' in one of its continents. They decide to call it Earth in memory of the dream they pursued for so long. Fast-forward 150,000 years and confirm that it's indeed our very own home planet, in case the continental shapes weren't a dead giveaway, already.}}

* [[Ultraman]] and all his successors keep coming to Earth.

* The [[Stargate]] franchise has several occurrences of this trope.

** The Goa'uld found Earth's native population, abducted, and enslaved them. Furthermore, much of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' deals with Earth trying to defend itself from the Goa'uld coming back.
