* Because of Creator/DCComics' ComicBook/New52 ContinuityReboot in 2011, this occurred during Creator/GrantMorrison's ''[[ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison Batman]]'' run. Prior to the reboot, Dick Grayson was serving as Gotham's Batman, whilst Bruce Wayne was dealing with matters on an international level as another Batman; when Morrison picked up his story after the reboot, Wayne was the sole Batman again and Grayson was back to being Nightwing to match up with the rest of the New 52 comics without any sort of explanation, whilst Barbara Gordon - long retired from the Batgirl role prior to the reboot - was back in the costume, replacing Stephanie Brown in the role.

Bendis' Avengers run is not an example of the trope, as whilst most of the changes he made to the Avengers status quo were undone by the time he left the titles, it was not done without any sort of explanation.


* Creator/BrianBendis' storied ''ComicBook/NewAvengers'' / ''[[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' run (which began in ''[[Comicbook/AvengersDisassembled Disassembled]]'') ended in this manner to a degree. ComicBook/TheVision and [[ComicBook/AntMan Ant-Man]] were returned to life, ComicBook/ScarletWitch was [[AuthorsSavingThrow alleviated of her crimes]] via DemonicPossession, Clint Barton ditched the Ronin costume and returned to the ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} identity, ComicBook/TheWasp's death [[HesJustHiding was revealed to have been a fake-out]], ComicBook/TheSentry was killed off, and ComicBook/LukeCage, ComicBook/IronFist and ComicBook/JessicaJones all resigned from the Avengers. The only real lasting impact seems to be the continued use of Avengers Tower, and ComicBook/SpiderWoman, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and ComicBook/SpiderMan remaining with the team.
** Though a few of those cases weren't Bendis' doing. Scarlet Witch's possession {{Retcon}} and Ant-Man's resurrection both occurred in ''ComicBook/AvengersTheChildrensCrusade'', for instance.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': Many episodes end in ways with situations barely resolved by episode's end, but they change back by the time the next new episode premieres. {{Deconstruct|ion}}ed and {{subverted|Trope}} in the season two finale "The Finale." It starts off as a ClipShow, but as the Wattersons begin to reminisce, various townspeople come to them demanding restitution for all the damage they've done over the previous two seasons. After failing to make amends to the townspeople and having to escape jail, they reason that the only way to get their happy ending is to take their destructive habits up to eleven and [[InsaneTrollLogic cause more trouble than ever before]]. This ends up causing the entire town to form an angry mob and corner them in their home, with Gumball proclaiming that the only way out of this is "[[LampshadeHanging some magical device that resets everything]]." SmashToBlack, roll the credits.
