* [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Hurricane Billy.]] Imagine something so ineffably stupid, so thoroughly ''dumb'' that their stupidity is contagious. Once Billy began Looping, he [[BeyondTheImpossible crashed multiple Safe Loops]], [[FriendToAllLivingThings pissed off]] [[Machinima/RedVsBlue Caboose]], succeeded in [[PhysicalGod killing Han Solo, Anakin Skywalker, and Twilight Sparkle]] '''twice''', ''terrified'' two experienced Amalaverse Anchors by replacing ''every single person in the Loop'' with copies of himself, drove [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Kyubey]] to [[INeedAFreakingDrink drink in public]], and is [[OhCrap solely responsible for Gendo Ikari Looping]], amongst other crimes. A unanimous vote decreed that Billy would be labeled an MLE. Many loopers prefer to crash their loop instead of spending any time near him.

* [[ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures The Evronians]]. A nigh-unstoppable race of {{Emotion Eater}}s numbering in the billions, going around space on a PlanetSpaceship and [[spoiler:making a new one out of a planet every time their numbers become too great on one of the already existing ones]], going around space to turn every sentient into an emotionless slave and armed with weapons that do that in one shot. That's their basic description from their series, but the Loops turned it UpToEleven when DIO Brando (an MLE) mentioned in passing that they once drained ''him''.

* Nightmare's plans for the loops? ''The sale of [[EldritchAbomination Dark Matter]]''. He captures Zero and keeps it in his Pocket and plans to force it to create monsters for his business, not even caring about how dangerous keeping large amounts of Dark Matter in a small place is. Even worse? The only loopers who actually know that he's up to something are Meta Knight, Duncan and Vivian. And only one of them is from the same loop as Nightmare.

* The Grand Order branch. Mention the loops? Write about the loops? Be an AI looper and get in a computer to see what's up? Make even the slightest allusion to the loops? Goetia will instantly destroy the planet and crash the loop. And no, he's not looping, and he's not loop aware (anymore). That's his baseline power. There have been countless crashes in Grand Order because a Visiting Looper said the wrong thing at the heat of the moment. And the worst of it? The attack is so sudden that nobody has time to react, and Goetia cannot be killed without fulfilling some very specific circumstances - aka the non-looping Romani {{Retcon}}ing himself at a very specific point. Ranma LOST to this guy. RANMA. Oh, and the {{Big Bad}}s after Goetia only get worse.

* Eiken is this in-universe for pretty much every Looper, due to how it's set up as a crash-recovery Loop. No Pocket, no Loop-powers. The mind-crushing boredom is absolute ''agony''' for Loopers, who will avoid it at all costs.

To wit, he Awakened right as he was found guilty for a murder and, when he tried to save himself, discovered it was a null loop, meaning he had no powers to fall back.

** First of all, any flFused Loop with the Junkyard leads in a societal collapse.

He canonicaly has a son named Takashi in the three-year mark. ''This guy loses his child in every single Loop.''

* The ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' Loops are this for the rest of the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' Loopers, because they are trapped in an interdimensional war. Jaden once found himself as a general in an army committing ''genocide'', and the ''[=5D's=]'' Loopers were less than pleased with the Dystopian CyberPunk setting of the Synchro Dimension.

** Many of the variants that come out of ''ARC-V'' are downright horrifying. Loops such as "The Power of Yu" and "Yu Duel School" end up with most the local loopers getting an SuperpoweredEvilSide and razing the world to the ground. Thoth had to personally interfere to stabilise the former.

* While, yes, ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' and ''1984'' are prone to being hell for visiting loopers, at least the anchors are some of the more decent people in their loops (The night guards and Winston, respectively). ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'' on the other hand, has Calypso as the anchor. Yep, that's right. The [[JerkassGenie jerkass]], LiteralGenie from ''hell'' cannot be killed unless there is another anchor present. While he ''is'' at least somewhat civil with other loopers, it is still a very scary thought.

'''He ''explodes'' with sheer, utter insane wrath.''' Eons after eons of SanitySlippage... breaking in a single instant.

This ''thing'' is a ''Loop-aware Shadow'' - an aberration that understands the idea behind the Loops, and has adapted. Since it can't kill Naoki, it seeks to have him labeled as a MLE by specifically targeting Equestria, one of the most influential Loops, ensuring ''every Looper's response when confronted with him will be violence, meaning no one will help him, '''ever'''''. And it's smarter and more ruthless than normal Shadows, capable of outright memory editing and sensory tampering. While it later gets stopped, by that time it has nearly driven Naoki to outright attempt Ascension and collapse the entire timeline just to make it STOP.

It's not a Reality Bomb, and it's its builders aren't Daleks. They're Daleks - they're ''ponies''. It's a conversions conversion bomb, designed to turn every living thing in every universe into a mindless pony. All topped off with a ponified version of Davros' speech... given by '''Twilight Sparkle'''.
** The explanation for why the ponies took living beings from the twenty seven 27 worlds as well: They needed a control group.



[[folder:Star Wars Loops]]
* Darth Charybdis, AKA Sith Jar Jar. Imagine Jar Jar Binks, but one who breaths fire, speaks in a demonic VoiceOfTheLegion style a la the Son, and has deadly mastery of a four bladed lightsaber. The scariest part is, this variant loop has happened more than once. Any Jar Jar you meet could very well by Darth Charybdis, playing the fool before he guts and sears you alive.
** Even worse, the Star Wars loops have an unusual number of variant loops where counterparts to everyone from [[BigGood Mace Windu]] to [[MoralityChain Padme]] could be a bloodthirsty Sith Lord next time you wake up.

* The fact that the only way to stop a potential bad looper is to ''kill'' them. Imagine not knowing what was going on and out of nowhere, someone who you may not even know yet shows up to murder you.
* Dimentio nearly looping. Mario, Peach and Bowser can't find him from his hundreds of clones and everyone knows he will be an MLE if he Activates. If a Mythos Hacker hadn't stepped in at the last second, things would have been bad.
** In his haste to kill Dimentio, Mario missed killing the Shadow Queen and the Black Paint, meaning that ''either'' of them could have been the new looper. Thankfully for everyone, the far nicer and far less evil Vivian was Activated.
* Zombozo being one of the Ben 10 Crisis loopers.
* Because the Kirby crisis loop turned out to be a loop that fused the game with the [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa anime]], that version of Nightmare AND Customer Service both start looping.
* Even though the Crisis was dealt with, the event has loosened the restrictions on villains looping. Time will tell what this could entail....

* [[VideoGame/StarCraft The Koprulu Sector]] is looping. While Raynor is the Anchor, Sarah Kerrigan is a looper. And by extension, the [[HiveMind Zerg]] as a whole.
* The Xenogears loops are considered hell loops because the baseline is brutally unforgiving and soul-crushing, and prone to null loops. Which means if the local anchor is not present, the plot cannot be derailed.
* For reasons unknown, [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour 1984]] started looping. While more experienced loopers can handle it, it is still not a pretty place to end up.
* The ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' loops are this for the rest of the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' loopers, because they are trapped in an interdimensional war. Jaden once found himself as a general in an army committing ''genocide'', and the [=5D=]'s loopers were less than pleased with the Dystopian CyberPunk setting of the Synchro Dimension.

In every single loop, [[InSpiteOfANail no matter what they do]], Heartland ''will'' get destroyed, they ''will'' lose their families and friends, and there ''will'' be people they cannot save. Every. Single. Time. The normally cool-headed Yuto snaps quite badly on a looper who assumed that "card game loops are easy".
* In a fused Loop with ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'', [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyZombies Ultimis]] are pleasantly saying goodbye after what can only be assumed as shenanigans because they're... [[CloudCuckooLander Ultimis]] when [[MesACrowd Primis]] appears to confront Ultimis and explain what is happening.

It's a chilling reminder than no matter what, Loopers young and old personify BewareTheSillyOnes.
* Peach having a flashback to a prior loop. Namely, Mario surrendering to the Shadow Queen. And because a Stealth Anchor was present and it was a Null Loop, TheBadGuyWins. The flashback ends up pissing Peach off so much she goes Super Saiyan without even realizing.
** Speaking of Paper Mario loops, while Vivian came out of the Crisis, the one who followed her isn't as pleasant. Namely, [[KnightofCerebus Sir Grodus]]. And he is Stealth Looping, meaning no one is aware of him yet. And his first major derail? ''Murdering [[TheManBehindTheMan Beldam]]''.
** Even worse? In a later loop, he managed to take out Vivian...who was ''Awake'' at the time. While he didn't start looping that long after her, she is still more powerful then he is, so that is terrifying.
* After Nightmare brushes him off one too many times no matter what he says about why friendship is good for him, Marx hits his RageBreakingPoint, dropping his normal [[TheGadfly gadfly]] personality and going into a full on rage in his Soul form. When Nightmare still doesn't listen? Marx pulls him into his blackhole move and is implied to have either killed him or subjected him to a FateWorseThanDeath.

After defeating Model V (also known as Vile), Rock, Roll and Blues are knocked out and abducted. And then they meet the mastermind behind everything so far: Dr. Wily, Sigma, Weil, and Dr. Albert, all apparently merged into one being, with the ''thing'' that Blues encounter beforehand at the wheel. And it knows about the Loops, and it wants to spread. And now that it has the Loopers, it's going to do just that, with a creepy-ass machine of some king that all four Anchors happen to be attached to. But something goes hideously wrong, and the last thing Blues can recall before everything goes dark is reality itself '''screaming'''. And then? ''Crash''.

* Jurassic Park can prove to be this if it's the Telltale Game version of the Loop.

* Peach having a flashback to a prior loop. Namely, Mario surrendering to the Shadow Queen. And because a Stealth Anchor was present and it was a Null Loop, TheBadGuyWins. The flashback ends up pissing Peach off so much she goes Super Saiyan without even realizing.
** Speaking of Paper Mario loops, while Vivian came out of the Crisis, the one who followed her isn't as pleasant. Namely, [[KnightofCerebus Sir Grodus]]. And he is Stealth Looping, meaning no one is aware of him yet. And his first major derail? ''Murdering [[TheManBehindTheMan Beldam]]''.

* Even though the Crisis was dealt with, the event has loosened the restrictions on villains looping. Time will tell what this could entail....

* In a fused Loop with ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'', [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyZombies Ultimis]] are pleasantly saying goodbye after what can only be assumed as shenanigans because they're... [[CloudCuckooLander Ultimis]] when [[MesACrowd Primis]] appears to confront Ultimis and explain what is happening. Primis Nikolai then [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calls out his drunken counterpart]], smashing his BerserkButton immediately. The once jovial drunk Soviet turns ''murderous'' and immediately attacks with [[FireBreathingWeapon a flamethrower]] before ultimately forced to stop fighting by Monika, leaving the rest of the Loop incredibly tense as the Literature Club try to piece together the shattered group. It's a chilling reminder than no matter what, Loopers young and old personify BewareTheSillyOnes.

* Because the Kirby crisis loop turned out to be a loop that fused the game with the [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa anime]], that version of Nightmare AND Customer Service both start looping.

* The ''Anime/YuGiOhARCV'' loops are this for the rest of the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' loopers, because they are trapped in an interdimensional war. Jaden once found himself as a general in an army committing ''genocide'', and the [=5D=]'s loopers were less than pleased with the Dystopian CyberPunk setting of the Synchro Dimension.
