Line 3:
[[Primal Fear|Everybody has something that scares the ever-loving crap out of them]]. [[Fear of Thunder|Thunder]], [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|reptiles]], or maybe [[Killed Off for Real|bloody, painful death.]] Rest assured that in fiction land, if it scares you, you will either end up somewhere where said fear is everywhere, or be [[Stern Chase|relentlessly pursed by said fear]]. Reactions will not vary, with said character wanting nothing to do with this terrifying thing in any way, shape or form.
And then something changes.
[[Facing the Bullets One
[[Cowardly Lion|Said scared person for whatever reason mans up]], bitch-slaps his fears into submission, and saves the day. Maybe he or she hasn't totally conquered his fear, but at least you know they can overcome it when it matters. Often a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
Line 60:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Rikku has a major [[Fear of Thunder]] in ''[[Final Fantasy X (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X]]''. We're told in ''[[Final Fantasy X 2 (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X 2]]'' that she camped out for a week in the Thunder Plains and got over it, though we never actually got to see this.
* Not necessarily fears, but most of ''[[Persona 4]]'' has to do with the main characters facing the manifestations of their insecurities. Although this is [[Shut UP, Hannibal|after they've rejected them]], and then the rest of the party [[Violence Is the Only Option|has to beat the crap out of the shadow]] to keep it from killing the original.
* Red from ''[[Solatorobo]]'' has to face {{spoiler|the idea of losing control and killing everyone he loves}} during a [[Virtual Training Simulation]] [[Journey to The Center of The Mind]]. As a warm-up, he faced ''Elh's'' greatest fear, which is [[Big Creepy Crawlies|bugs]].
Line 67:
* ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' has some moments when the [[Cowardly Lion|titular]] [[Lovable Coward|character]] would realize he was the only thing standing between his friends and the villain, and promptly curbstomps them in an incredible display of courage. One example is the second live-action movie, ''Monsters Unleashed'', where, backed into a corner he pretty much saves the day.
* ''[[Recess]]'': When TJ develops a fear of "The Box" (which is basically solitary confinement), Gretchen suggests framing TJ for a crime so he'll have to face his fear. However, she does lampshade the fact that this would either force him to face his fear or just make things worse.
* Pinkie Pie's "giggle at the ghostly" song from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'':
