** 2018 had a Film/{{Ch|ildsPlay}}ucky themed Scarezone called ''Revenge of Chucky'' that was flooded with creepy corrupted parodies of 80's kids toys. Amongst the childhood ruining theme park, you'd see a [[https://halloweenhorrornights.fandom.com/wiki/Jem burnt-faced]] WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} or a [[https://halloweenhorrornights.fandom.com/wiki/Cabbage_Patch_Girl menacing]] [[Toys/CabbagePatchKids Cabbage Patch Kid]] holding a bloody knife, while people get torn apart in giant [[https://halloweenhorrornights.fandom.com/wiki/Monkeys_in_a_Barrel Barrel of Monkeys]] and [[https://halloweenhorrornights.fandom.com/wiki/Operation_Victim Operation]] playsets.

Added DiffLines:

* [[PassionateSportsGirl Grace Madison]] from ''VisualNovel/ProjectEdensGarden'', another Danganronpa FanGame, is a rude, foul-mouthed, and attractive blonde with a rabbit motif and a FriendlessBackground, and in this respect she is similar to [[Characters/DanganronpaMiuIruma Miu Iruma]] from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony''. However, the difference between the two, barring Miu's shameless perversion, is that Miu [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold has a nicer side to her]], even during the first meeting, and a good portion of her tactless behavior can be chalked up to her lack of social skills; [[HatesBeingAlone her loneliness is implied to be a major sore spot for her]]. On the other hand, Grace is not only aware that she is a jerk to the very core, showing no courtesy to others, she is also willing to burn bridges to defend her title as the Ultimate Golfer. At best, she has a HiddenHeartOfGold, but that's about it.

* [[Characters/SpiderManSpiderVerseTheSpot The Spot]] from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'' is one to ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}. Both are the result of science experiments gone awry, have a relationship with Spider-Man, walk a fine line between eccentric and crazy and can see beyond the scope of their worlds (Deadpool breaks the fourth wall, the Spot can access the Multiverse). While Deadpool has very loose morals, he's at least on friendly terms with Peter Parker, while the Spot demands to be taken seriously as an arch-enemy to Miles Morales.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'': Taking the story's ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' parallels into account, Scar is this for Claudius. Both are the charming, scheming younger brothers of martial kings who eventually murder their older brothers to take the throne, which puts them at odds with their respective nephews. However, while Claudius has a number of redeeming qualities, Scar is selfish and heartless. Claudius originally intended for Hamlet to succeed him and only tried to have him killed once it became clear that Hamlet wanted him gone. Scar, in contrast, manipulated Simba into believing Mufasa's death was his fault and sent hyenas after him before Mufasa's body was cold. While Claudius genuinely tried to be a good king, Scar [[AmbitiousButLazy had no interest in the business of ruling]] and let the Pridelands [[FisherKing turn into a wasteland]]. Scar even goes so far as to essentially condemn his subjects to death by starvation out of stubbornness and pride. Quite a few people have drawn parallels between Scar and another, more monstrous Shakespearean usurper: Theatre/RichardIII.

** Hal Stewart, Roxanne's cameraman, begins the story as an {{expy}} of [[Characters/SupermanJimmyOlsen Jimmy Olsen]], being a geeky redheaded everyman who works with the IntrepidReporter leading lady covering the exploits of the local FlyingBrick superhero. But whereas Jimmy usually gets portrayed as an endearing, helpful NiceGuy who legitimately wants to do the right thing, Hal comes off as creepy even before he becomes a supervillain and only tries to act as a superhero to impress Roxanne, to whose affection he [[EntitledToHaveYou feels entitled]].

** ''Literature/NightwatchDiscworld'' is a partial spoof of ''Literature/LesMiserables'' but seriously switches around the character dynamics of Valjean and Javert. Valjean’s role of the convict in this case is fulfilled by Carcer though where Valjean is TheAtoner, AllLovingHero and borderline saint who never harms or kill another person once even when defending the barricade, Carcer is instead a mass murdering PsychoKnifeNut CopKiller bastard who adores sadism for sadism’s sake and corruption of power (since it gives him more freedom to be evil). Valjean’s sympathetic crime of stealing a loaf of bread is even directly used by Carcer as part of his cheerful FauxAffablyEvil persona, which Vimes rightly calls out as bullshit.

* ''Literature/ImTheVillainessSoImTamingTheFinalBoss'': [[spoiler:Prince Cedric Jean Ellmeyer]] is this to Prince Geordo Stuart from ''Literature/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom''. Both are the blonde prince in a RebornAsVillainessStory and fiancé to the "villainess" protagonists. [[spoiler:Cedric]], however, is essentially Geordo but with all his negative traits (charming yet coupled with a black heart, tamely sadistic, and fiercely competitive for the love of Catarina to the rest of the harem) taken to their worst extremes (superficially charming and a manchild and [[spoiler:entitled to have Aileen even after dumping her for Lilia out of envy]]). He even has [[spoiler:an inferiority complex similar to that of the original Alan Stuart from ''Fortune Lover'' towards his brother Claude, yet even worsened for petty envy due to Aileen falling for Claude]].

* ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'': Gaston has been viewed as a blatantly corrupted version of the stereotypical Disney Prince, such as the princes shown in ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}''. Unlike these princes, Gaston, while handsome, is full of himself and thinks he's [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled to have Belle as his bride]]. He's also a corrupted version of Brom Bones from ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad'', as, while both Gaston and Brom Bones are the boisterous town heroes, there is a huge difference: whereas Brom Bones genuinely loved Katrina, Gaston just views Belle as a prize to be won, which alienates her and drives Gaston to try to murder the Beast when she c

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'': [[spoiler:Prince Hans is obviously based on PrinceCharming of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' as well other Creator/{{Disney}} princes like [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Phillip]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Eric]] etc. However, instead of being a genuine NiceGuy who falls in love with the princess of the film Anna, he's instead a ManipulativeBastard who cruelly deconstructs the LoveAtFirstSight staple of Disney, having really exploited Anna's loneliness and DesperatelyCravesAffection emotions to get a shot at the throne and is happy to let Anna die and actively try and kill her sister Elsa.
