Unwinnable Training Simulation: Difference between revisions

== Comic Books ==

* Try to count how many times the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] did this in their Danger Room. Between the comics and cartoons, Wolverine has had his butt kicked by simulated robots in order to learn an important lesson at least once per [[Story Arc]].

* This appears in one of the flashback sequences of [[Ex Machina]], with Bradbury and Kremlin acting as well-equipped robbers to test out Mitchell's equipment and reflexes.

* ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek Voyager]] [[Star Trek Elite Force|Elite Force]]'' had a comic which begins with this. The scenario was that the Voyager is attacked by a Borg Cube (complete with exterior shot) and Hazard Team is sent to plant explosives around the cube to distract them long enough for the Voyager to escape. During the attack, Munro falls into a assimilation chamber, where he finds an assimilated Foster and not wanting to [[Shoot the Dog]], fails. Tuvok even points this scenario out and [[Continuity Nod|notes its similarity to the test the trope is named for]]. This was called back when {{spoiler|Foster did get assimilated and Tuvok calls Munro out for not shooting him.}}
