-->-- '''Rose''', ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}''

* At the end of ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'', Rose mentions that her {{Jerkass}} ex-fiance lost a bunch of money in the stock market crash of 1929--[[DrivenToSuicide and he was apparently so distraught by what happened that he committed suicide]] [[AteHisGun via pistol-in-mouth.]]

* {{Downplayed}} in ''Fanfic/{{Cain}}'', where it's implied that [[SuckySchool Aldera]]'s reputation ''plunges'' when one of Katsuki's [[BarbaricBully brutal assaults]] on Izuku makes headlines due to it happening immediately after an anti-discrimination assembly. Katsuki doesn't focus on the impact this makes on the school beyond how it [[ItsAllAboutMe directly affects HIM]].

* A mild version occurs in the ''WesternAnimation/SuperFriends'' 1973/74 episode "The Menace of the White Dwarf". Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog decide to fly to Washington D.C. to warn the rest of the Super Friends personally about Raven's threat instead of calling them on the phone. As a result they get captured by Raven. At the end of the episode Marvin says that Batman gave them quite a talking to about their bad judgment.

* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyandSherman'', Ms. Grunion is carried off back to Ancient Greece by King Agamemnon, who then marries her... but then you realize that the real Agamemnon and his second wife were eventually killed by his first wife out of revenge for infidelity.

* D.W. from ''WesternAnimation/Arthur'' seems to get this a lot.

* ''Fanfic/KarmicBacklash'': In this RecursiveFanfiction to '’Fanfic/TheKarmaOfLies'', Lila Rossi first appears returning to Paris after Marinette's ParanoiaGambit failed, breaking into her home, stealing the Miraculous Box [[ExitVillainStageLeft and escaping flawlessly]]. The next time she makes a major appearance in the story, it's only in spirit as her mother returns to Paris to return the Miraculous Box to the heroes and explains how Lila [[StupidEvil just could not help herself]] to go back to her game of entering a school, conning everybody with {{Celebrity Lie}}s and bullying anybody who saw through them, and this time with the Miraculous powers she was capable of flawlessly framing the bullied girl of assault; so looking forward to jail time and [[CorneredRattlesnake with absolutely nothing left to lose]], she cornered Lila in the courtroom's bathroom and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill stabbed her at least a hundred times before the bailiffs pulled the girl away]].

* While the Old Man seemed to get away with allowing Faxx to do whatever she wanted and set her up to take the fall in ''Film/RoboCop2'', ''Film/RoboCop3'' shows that he's no longer in charge of OCP and it's implied by Johnson's "Remember the Old Man: everyone's expendable" that he was forced out. The video game ''VideoGame/RoboCopRogueCity'' soon shows what happened to him. [[spoiler: He turns himself into [=RoboCop=] 2, and becomes the final boss of the game, where he is killed by Robo himself.]

* ''Film/TheWickerMan1973'': Though it happens after the film's end, it is made abundantly clear that the islanders' civilisation is based on a lie and that they are doomed. After all, the sacrifice was a sign of despair which will become more than a sign when the next year of crop failure Lord Summerisle will be the only appropriate sacrifice. Christopher Lee appears in a cameo in 2011's ''The Wicker Tree'' as a character [[AmbiguousSituation extremely implied]] to be Lord Summerisle, who makes clear that Howie's words became true and he barely escaped, living a poor life on the following decades and educating the cult-leader BigBad of this film and dying at some point shortly before the story begins proper.
