Beware the Nice Ones/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* In ''DC Showcase: [[Superman Shazam the Return of Black Adam]]'', Black Adam learned that even though [[Captain Marvel]] is the ultimate nice guy boyscout (even compared to Superman), presenting him a [[The Sadistic Choice|sadistic choice]] and then trying to kill the hostage anyway is a [[Let's Get Dangerous|BAD IDEA]]. It doesn't matter how experienced or powerful you are, [[Curb Stomp Battle|you WILL get your butt kicked. SOUNDLY.]]

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has [[Meaningful Name|Fluttershy]], the [[Shrinking Violet|kindest, shyest, most gentle]] pony in all Equestria... and also the ''scariest'' pony in all Equestria. Her [[Friend to All Living Things]] ability allows her to pacify everything from an enraged manticore to a ''gigantic'' adult dragon with as much ease as she soothes a frightened rabbit (the latter of which she subdued by ''[[Talking the Monster To Death|lecturing]]'' it into submission). Her [[Death Glare|Stare]] is so powerful it allows her to stare down a cockatrice ''as it's [[Taken for Granite|turning her to stone]]''. Some [[Teach Him Anger|assertiveness training]] results in her [[Took a Level In Jerkass|taking 5000 levels in jerkass]], enough to drive Rarity and Pinkie Pie to ''tears''. And when the animals near the Grand Galloping Gala don't return her affections, [[Yandere|well]]...

** Normally, [[Princesses Rule|Princess]] [[God-Emperor|Celestia]] is very calm and collected, and seems to enjoy having a little fun with her subjects now and then. Then we have the first part of "The Return of Harmony", where she smacks the villain with a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] TWICE, and then tells him point-blank to quit screwing around and answer her questions. He begrudgingly tosses out a riddle and leaves before she can grill him any further.

*** In the season two finale we finally see Celestia fight, complete with [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]. {{spoiler|True, she loses, but that surprised EVERYONE, including the villian}}.

** [[Genre Savvy|You'd think]] that the [[The Pollyanna|perpetually cheerful]] [[Genki Girl]] with borderline [[Reality Warper]] powers would be an excellent candidate for this trope, but Pinkie Pie repeatedly subverts it. In "Griffon the Brush Off", her reaction to proof that Gilda is a grade-A jerkface is to throw her a party, because she thinks Gilda is just stressed and needs to unwind. In "Party of One", when she thinks her friends have abandoned her she avoids them altogether and throws her own party with various [[Companion Cube|Companion Cubes]], in stark contrast to the far more destructive [[Sanity Slippage|Sanity Slippages]] of Fluttershy and Twilight. And when Applejack breaks a Pinkie Promise in "The Last Roundup" she [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O9HVV-vPMM breaks out the scary voice], leads a pursuit across the desert, and when she finally catches her she... demands Applejack apologise.

** Rarity is [[The Fashionista|obsessed with style, grace and glamour]], and as the Element of Generosity she is usually willing to help in any way she can. She also doesn't hesitate to ''kick a manticore in the face'' or fight a gang of (adolescent) dragons to defend her friends.

** Princess Cadance {{spoiler|(the real one) is a kind and sweet [[Love Goddess]] and used to work as a babysitter. However, when she is kidnapped and her husband-to-be is about to marry her evil double, she shows nothing but [[Determinator|determination]], repeatedly defies the changeling queen (even after said queen defeats [[Physical Goddess|Princess Celestia]]), and then helps deliver the [[Heart Beat-Down]] that blows the changelings ''across the continent!''}}

** ''All'' of the Mane 6 qualify for this if they are forced to fight.
