* ''Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure'': A lot of the battles near the end of the season are quickly settled to focus on something far more serious.
** The blue whale Yaraneeda is built up as ''the strongest Yaraneeda'' in both Episode 42's title and Butler. The only reason why it was able to get away with taking so much motivation was because Butler damaged Laura's aqua pot. The actual battle itself is very brief and lasts less than an entire minute before the Marine Beat Dynamic finisher sequence. The Zenzen Yaraneeda beforehand lasts a few seconds longer on-screen (excluding Summer's transformation and the group finisher).
** [[spoiler:Chongire's Yaraneeda form]] was built up as an intimidating threat, but the onscreen appearance of the actual fight is very brief and focuses more on Butler and the Witch of Delays. The Yaraneeda knocks Manatsu out of her Cure form and the Cures retreat [[spoiler:thanks to Elda]], but when [[spoiler:Chongire's Yaraneeda form]] returns, the Cures retreat outside of the mansion and they take care of it immediately with the Marine Beat Dynamic..
** The following battle against [[spoiler:the Witch of Delays]] is even a bit of an AntiClimaxBoss as well, although it makes sense, considering that the fight is [[spoiler:an IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight where the Cures constantly tell the Witch that she's not evil as she's built up to be - and her attacks aren't as strong as a typical BigBad would be.]] Due to this, she's [[spoiler:dealt with peacefully by Cure Oasis]], but it's also strong hint that [[spoiler:she's not the final opponent the Cures face - it's Butler]].

* ''Film/HawkTheSlayer'': Voltan is not very good at swordfighting. Drogo, his son and lieutenant, is even worse.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/DeadMan'': Instead of having an epic showdown with William Blake, Cole Wilson arrives in the last few minutes and dies rather quietly, while Blake just watches from afar. Most likely a deliberate use of the trope, given the film's love of playing with Western conventions.
