Stupid Good: Difference between revisions

* The Mystics in ''[[The Dark Crystal]]''. Jen's adoptive father even admits he shouldn't have waited until he was on his deathbed to explain what to Jen what his quest is, and this lack of foresight requires Jen to figure the whole thing out himself, something he clearly ''could not'' have done without Kira's help. They also apparently never saw reason to teach Jen how to read, a skill which would have been very useful in said quest, something which, again, was helped by Kira having more sensible guardians.

* Ed Roony, the [[Non-Giving-Up-School Guy]] and [[Determined Defeatist]] of ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]''. It is debatable [[Inspector Javert| whether or not he qualifies as “good”]] any more [[Protagonist-Centered Morality| than Ferris does]], but ''everything'' he does in his effort to nab Ferris only proves what an idiot he is. First, he ''witnesses'' on his PC Ferris hacking into his records as he does it, and never even ''mentions'' this again. Second, he falls for Ferris’ trap hook-line-and-sinker in the infamous phone call scene. Does this school even keep emergency contact numbers on record? And of course, ''breaking and entering?'' Yeah, [[Not Helping Your Case| you’re not helping your case there, teach]], not only does this result in him being humiliated and injured, it is likely a key factor in getting Ferris and his sister to reconcile.
