* In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'', Master Oogway tells Master Shifu, "There are no accidents," in relation to Po being chosen as the Dragon Warrior. Master Shifu later repeats this to Po.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', Dash Parr's homeroom teacher Bernie Kropp has been finding thumbtacks in his chair just as he sits down and he suspects Dash of doing so, but never caught him doing so in his eyes. So he uses a hidden video camera to record one incident and find that right when he sits down, the camera shows Dash blurring before the thumbtacks appear, which he takes as proof that he's involved. While Helen and the audience know Dash used his superspeed to put the thumbtacks right when Bernie sat down, [[DramaticIrony the principle thinks his colleague is being paranoid and allows the Parrs to go home]].

* In the ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' fanfic ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'', [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonHumans Madison Russell]] takes on this mindset when her father Mark has chosen one of the worst possible times to ''not'' be quick to conclusions for once. She correctly deduces that the phenomena in Berezniki, Russia are linked to Monster X after the latter's recent abduction [[spoiler:by a Ghidorah shed skin]], since the region is where the fic's plot kicked off [[spoiler:and Ghidorah began regenerating to begin with]]; in Chapter 16.

Regardless of how well-founded or rational his assumptions are, he tends to be right.

* ''Literature/TheScholomance'':
** The last book reveals that El receiving the Golden Stone sutras was not by any sort of luck at all. [[spoiler:They're the entire reason she was ''born''. The ancient enclave her father's family used to live in was one of the Golden Enclaves, and her father's dream was to rebuild the enclave, one he shared with her mother. When they voiced their wish to the universe, it responded by giving them El, who would have the power to properly use the sutras and rebuild the Golden Enclaves for them]].
** In the first book, it's noted by El that once-in-a-generation talents such as Orion and herself aren't rare, but what's weird about their situation is how extreme their gifts are and how closely they were born together, being in the same year and all. She suspects that he, a mal-slaying hero, was born in response to a group of maleficers who sacrificed their entire graduating class, and that she, a prophesied mighty dark witch, was in turn born in response to him. [[spoiler:The third book reveals this wasn't even that much of a coincidence: there was no cabal of maleficers, or if there were they were scapegoats. Orion was deliberately engineered by his mother Ophelia to be a wizard/maw-mouth hybrid she would use as a LivingWeapon, who she was destined to eventually lose control of as he tried to consume the world in his insatiable hunger. The universe responded with El, who was essentially born with her immense destructive power so she could stop him when the time came. Everyone knows about the principle of balance in magic, and Ophelia, an uncommonly gifted wizard, even predicted that the universe would respond this way, and actively searched for El for years. Deepthi, El's own great-etc.-grandmother and a great seer, in turn saw ''that'' coming, and had to estrange El from her paternal family to ensure she would remain out of Ophelia's clutches until she was strong enough to defend herself--as much or more from Ophelia's manipulation as any direct attack]].
** [[spoiler:It's only until Shanfeng points it out that El realizes how strange it is that the maw-mouth anchoring Beijing was found attacking London, and how that contrasts the original Shanghai enclave being taken out by the maw-mouth anchoring San Diego's enclave. Shanfeng confirms that this isn't a coincidence, and reveals that the western and eastern enclaves have been in a LensmanArmsRace of maw-mouths ever since Shanghai was revived]].
