Line 145:
** Johnny Cage's goal in the original ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'', according to his bio, is to prove he doesn't use stuntmen or special effects in his movies. Seems a film documentary isn't as convincing as a brutal and bloody battle to the death in his opinion. Exactly how much he knew about the rules - or rather, the lack of them - of the tournament is debatable. The story in the comic shows that his agent warns him that the tournament isn't approved by any legit martial arts organization, while [[Mortal Kombat (2011 video game)| the retcon]] suggests he's ''completely'' clueless.
** Norimoro, the [[Joke Character]] from the Japanese version of [[Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter]] is little more than a skinny, nervous high school student who can't fight worth beans (he's supposed to be [[No Celebrities Were Harmed| a caricature of Japanese comedian Noritake Kinashi]]). So why is he fighting the likes of M. Bison, Wolverine, and the Incredible Hulk? Seems he's a [[Loony Fan]] of both factions [[From Beyond the Fourth Wall]] trying to get pictures and autographs. [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer|No, seriously,]] if his quotes are anything to go by. One has to wonder if some of the good guys in the game aren't simply being nice and holding back to keep from killing him, although why the villains would do so only raises more questions about skewed priorities.
** Jam Kuradoberi, another ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' fighter is a chef trying to raise money to open her own restaurant, so rather than, say, wait on tables for a few years, she works as a bounty hunter. Okay, that does pay a ''little'' better. Sadly for her, after she ''does'' manage to open a successful place, some jerk sets fire to it, so her motive in ''Guilty Gear XX'' is much different and much less skewed - [[Best Served Cold| find said jerk and pound the crud out of him.]]
* In the opening cinematic of the World of Light (aka Adventure Mode) in ''[[Super Smash Bros Ultimate]]'', most of the combatants are shown making a [[Last Stand]] against an army of demonic Master Hands. It doesn't go well for the heroes. When [[The Heavy| Galeem]] appears, some ''try'' to fight him, some try to flee, some - like the Inklings - try to hide themselves. The Wii Fitness Instructor, however, doesn't even seem to notice what's happening, and is doing nothing but yoga poses as it attacks. Of course, it seems it doesn't matter ''what'' anyone does, as [[Downer Beginning| everyone except Kirby (one of the ones trying to flee) is vaporized by the onslaught.]]
* In the ''Battle for Azeroth'' expansion of ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', there's an Alliance questline where your player and a small group of other Alliance elites are behind enemy lines in the middle of the Vol'dun wilderness, under orders from Matthas Shaw to find and assassinate Arlethal Sunwatcher, the highest ranking member of the Reliquary. Then your gnome guide notices... "AAAWWW! [[Ridiculously Cute Critter| They have alpacas here!"]] Seriously, she actually wants to stop so you can grab her a pet alpaca, and [[But Thou Must!| there's no option to tell her how ''stupid'' that is.]]
