Exile the Reindeer Hey Thats a Lot of Beef

"Hey, it's that kid."
"Eww. Let's get out of here."

A character is surrounded past people who constantly put them downwards, unremarkably because of some trait that is integral to them being a hero or villain. It seems the but responses they can make to this are the extremes: "Estimate I'll put up with information technology silently" or "Guess you don't need me." Or, worse yet, taking the Irrational Hatred to eye and starting to detest themselves. All the other Muggles will look down on the hero even as they're being slaughtered.

If a hero, the grapheme will constantly show their virtue by putting upwardly with it and saving their tormentors' lives once more and again. Said tormentors will be grateful for nearly 5 seconds (that is, until the end of the episode), and and so commencement it up again. In that location are only 2 settings for the hero. Stiff upper lip, or abandoning his tormentors completely. The hero who is putting up with this borders on being masochistic. Few attempts are made to truly change their state of affairs, unless it'south "going too far and abandoning people entirely," (which they'll regret considering and go correct back to it once more.) It'south not uncommon for a disillusioned hero, even so, to undergo a ten-Minute Retirement as a issue of such poor handling. As a result of this, crime and mayhem will unremarkably skyrocket, the Muggles and mundane authorities will be unable to cope, and a slightly humiliating backtracking will be necessary as they beg the hero to come up back and clean the mess up. Of course, in one case the hero does come back, they had meliorate not expect gratitude; the Ungrateful Bastards may immediately start picking on them again as presently as the mess is cleaned up. This is, unfortunately, sometimes Truth in Television.

If a villain, they'll inevitably explode and slaughter their tormentors, to the barely disguised envy of the audience, who may end upwards on his side. Oh, the hero will end them eventually, but non before most of those who wronged the villain are taken out. Afterwards the villain will ask the hero why he didn't employ their powers for evil given the crude treatment.

I of the usual problems facing a Plucky Daughter. Fear of this happening is a mutual motivation for I Just Want to Be Normal. Compare the parental Why Couldn't You Be Different?.
