* Albert in ''[[The King's Speech]]'' was this as a child, due to his stuttering. But this becomes subverted as when they became older, his older brother preferred a more carefree frivolous lifestyle while Albert was [[The Dutiful Son]]. His father George does approve of the adult Albert (though still frustrated by his speech impediment) and his last words were that Albert would be a better king than his brother, even though he didn't say it to Albert directly. |

* In the new ''[[Thor (Film)|Thor]]'' movie, Loki's [[Start of Darkness]] is a result of his jealousy over the fact that his father, Odin, has always favoured his brother Thor. {{spoiler|It turns out that Odin chose Thor to succeed the throne of Asgard because Loki is adopted, and isn't Asgardian. Loki could never have ruled no matter what Odin's preference was. Odin's actual feelings towards Loki are left ambiguous -- it could be that he genuinely loves Loki as a son, or it could be that he only took the boy in to use as a political pawn.}} |
