*** In Jim's defense, they ''did'' win. But it should be noted that they only got into that pod race to raise money for weapons ''they never used anyway''.



*** In his defense, Karnak's death would have also killed Szark Sturtz, since he and Karnak were linked by a wound Karnak had inflicted on Szark when the latter was a child. You really can't blame Dominic for trying to keep his best friend alive. Plus, as pointed out by Dejah, there was really no way for the war to end positively for humanity.



* In the first chapter of ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'', Antimony helps a lost [[LivingShadow Shadow-Man]] return to his forest home, by assembling a Robot to escort him there (since the rules prohibited Annie from going herself). She also tells Robot that he only has to return to the Court afterwards if he wants to, so he decides to go exploring the woods. Several chapters later, Robot returns, [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by another, violent and malicious shadow-creature, and the process of stopping the shadow results in Robot getting impaled on a {{BFS}} and deactivated. A few chapters later, Annie finds out that the people of the forest have not been on good terms with the Court for the past decade, and that they [[MagicVersusScience hate technology on principle]]. (Eventually things do turn out okay for Robot and the diplomatic incident is resolved when the Forest tries to use it as a frame-up job. The bigger problem may have been letting Robot meet her friend Kat.)

* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': In the ''Running Away With Mr. Swe'' strip, [[NiceGuy Finland]] decides to follow [[GentleGiant Sweden]], who's fed up with Denmark's attitude and being controlled, and run away to live on their own. While he's at first glad that he's gotten away from Denmark, it doesn't take long for Finland to start mentally kicking himself for his spontaneous decision, considering the person that he ran away with has a FaceOfAThug and IcyBlueEyes. He's so terrified of Sweden that he decides he can't live with him and makes plans to run away in the middle of the night while Sweden is asleep, only to have his [[ThwartedEscape escape attempt thwarted]] by an unknowing Sweden himself.



** Later yet, [[BunnyEarsLawyer Celia]] manages to [[spoiler:reach a settlement with]] the local Thieves' Guild. While this fixes a lot of immediate problems, one outcome was that [[LovableRogue Haley]] [[spoiler:(who deserted the Guild in the past) must give 50% of her loot to the Guild to maintain the fiction that she never really left.]] Since she needed all of it for her [[spoiler:"get her father out of jail"]] plan, she is... upset, to say the least.
*** [[FromBadToWorse To make things worse]], Haley doesn't even have most of [[spoiler:her past few years' worth of loot]] anymore, having lost [[spoiler:most of a dragon's hoard [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0245.html in a fire]]]]. Just to break even, she'd have to [[spoiler:steal twice that much all over again and give it all to the Guild -- half belonging to the Guild outright, and the rest paying off her debt to them]]. Haley's solution? [[spoiler:Desert the guild all over again, killing [[EvilCounterpart Crystal]] while she's at it,]] when the Order gets together again. [[spoiler: The bonus strips in the print version reveal that her main justification was actually that the guild never intended to honor their agreement, and was trying to kill her under the nose of her allies as "an accident" in ever-more-obvious attempts that fooled nobody. Those were cut from the web version for pacing purposes and for the sake of having some bonus content for the paying customers. The author did not realize his mistake until much later, and lamented the accidental change in plot and tone that was created by omitting those strips from the free web version]]

*** That comment is more due to Vanderbeam's irrational hatred of Quine. In the Anthelerix's case, the responsibility arguably rests with Admiral Huff. You'd think that the ''Paradigm'' being teleported back to Earth was a sign that maybe the Anthelerix didn't want anyone disturbing them for the time being, but noooo...

* In [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/?db=comics&id=528#comic this]] ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' strip, ComicBook/{{Batman}} foils the Joker's plan to destroy the pharmaceutical industry. A plan that entailed spreading a "[[{{Panacea}} Cure for All Diseases]]".
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': During one arc, it turns out that the clients that hired Tagon's Toughs to be security for can be turned into Super Soldiers by a signal; at the time they don't know where any transmitters might be, or even who 'holds the button'. Warrant Officer Thurl, thinking that Ensign Ventura might be involved, [[spoiler:unplugs Tagii, their ship-mind]], since Ventura was involved in reconstructing it. Two problems with that:
** Ventura ''wasn't'' involved; it was [[spoiler:a different branch of the UNS]].
** Without outside input, [[spoiler:Tagii [[GoMadFromTheIsolation Goes Mad From The Isolation]], and they have to rebuild her '''again''' afterwards, as Chinook]]. Even worse, [[spoiler:Chinook has something of a mental break in a later arc]], and this may have lead to even more deaths when [[spoiler:the Andromeda [=DaME=]'s attack several locations in the Milky Way, and Chinook decides to attack various Long Gun installations as a preventative measure]].
