* DesignatedHero: An InUniverse example with Lightning, who's put on the Heroic Hamsters in ''All-Stars'' despite being a JerkJock for most of his run. This is Justified|Trope as Chris originally wanted to put a jock on the team, but was forced to make do with Lightning since both Tyler and Jo were unable to compete. Over the course of the season, Lightning [[TookALevelInKindness outgrows this status]] and eventually evolves into an AntiHero.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Dave is an interesting example in that many of his actions have been translated over to the shuffled version of ''Pahkitew Island'' just as they were in canon, but several of his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold kinder moments]] like saving Ella from drowning and giving Shawn relationship advice have been outright removed with no equivalent given, and due to the more gimmicky characters of his team being moved to different seasons, Dave's anger at his team comes off as much more unjustified. And while he may have been a {{Jerkass}} to his teammates, he was nowhere near as nasty as he is to Mike here.

** Duncan is much kinder in ''Pahkitew Island'' than he ever was in canon, as his HiddenHeartOfGold shines through much more often. This is due to his frequent [[ButtMonkey bullying targets]] (Harold and Cody) and the other members of the infamous LoveTriangle (Gwen and Courtney) participating in different seasons, meaning there isn't as much opportunity for him to be a bullying {{jerkass}} as there was in canon.

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.
