Line 45:
* ''[[Little Shop of Horrors (film)|Little Shop of Horrors]]'' had to change the original ending for this reason. The stage show has Seymour sing about leaving Dr. Orin Scrivello to die by asphyxiation rather than shoot him, and tricks Mushnik into letting Audrey II eat him by lying that the day's receipts are "in the plant". In the movie, Seymour has [[Adaptational Heroism]]; he stares in shock as Orin suffocates, and he actually tries to warn Mushnik about Audrey II opening its maw to eat his boss and father-figure. His death in the original finale is a long-drawn [[Humiliation Conga]]. Hence, we got the [[Focus Group Ending]] where Seymour wins by sheer endurance against the plant.
* Can occur in a multitude of horror media depending on what they did, their age, how brutal their death was or [[Fate Worse Than Death|how bad their fate was left]].
* ''[[Midsommar]]'': Christian is kind of a jerk, who is condescending to [[Destructive Romance|Dani]] (who would possibly be in a better place if he didn't take her there) and throws [[With Friends Like These...|Josh under the bus when it's speculated he stole some of the cults' sacred texts]]. However, many thought he did not deserve to {{spoiler|be paralyzed, sown up in a bear skin, and set on fire}}.
** Similarly, Mark is a dick that talks rudely about Dani behind her back is disrespectful to the elders of the cults' ways, and did nothing to help Connie when she was most likely {{Spoiler|running from the cult}}. However, again, nobody wanted him to {{Spoiler|have his skin peeled off}}!
** Lastly there is Josh, who is very uncaring towards Dani's feelings and ignored the elder's warnings to not take photos of the cult's sacred book. But once again, did not deserve to have {{Spoiler|have his head caved with by a mallet (the culprit being not other than Pelle) with the last thing he sees is Ulf (the elder Mark disrespected) wearing Mark's skin}}. Also not helping is the fact Word of God has confirmed the cult are in fact, racists.
