* In ''ComicBook/TheThingFromAnotherWorld'':
** The first comic:
*** The story opens with R.J. [=McReady=] torching the Thing remains [[Film/TheThing1982 after the events of the film]] before getting surrounded and apprehended by a Navy Seal squad. He is led to the helicopter just as one soldier, Pybus, touches the remnants of the thing and gets assimilated ([[AssPull somehow]]). So what's it gonna do now?\\
'''You'd Expect''': The thing would keep its cover, snuck aboard the helicopter and allow itself to be extracted into the warmer climate, giving it much more freedom to assimilate more people or escape, especially with the soldiers not trusting [=McReady=]'s claims. Really, that's ''all'' it had to do.\\
'''Instead''': [[StupidEvil For no clear reason]], it transforms right as the helicopter is about to land, opens fire upon its own squadmates and shoots the aircraft down.\\
'''The Result''': [=McReady=] blows it up with a grenade, and while it does manage to [[spoiler:infect two people]], it ends back at square one. Which leads to...
*** So now [=McReady=], a soldier named Erskine and the grievously wouded pilots are stuck in the middle of nowhere. As it is revealed much later, [[spoiler:Erskine and one of the pilots got infected and have become the Things themselves]].\\
'''You'd Expect''': [[spoiler:The two would drop any pretense of humanity, gang up on [=McReady=], assimilate him and use his memories to find the Argentinian base]].\\
'''Instead''': [[spoiler:Nope. This doesn't occur to either of them, and they only transform one by one as the story progresses]].
*** After hunting down and destroying [[spoiler:the pilot-Thing]], the group returns back to the Argentinian camp. Unbeknownst, [[spoiler:Erskine is revealed to be the Thing]]. It goes to the radio room in an attempt to ask for an extraction.\\
'''You'd Expect''': [[spoiler:That he would try and assimilate the radio operators to give himself more advantage, then perhaps unleash them on the camp as whole while it makes a getaway]].\\
'''Instead''': It just messily massacres everyone inside the shack, leaving clues of its presence. Then it gets response from the command pointing at where exactly the pickup would proceed.\\
'''You'd Then Expect''': The Thing would do something about the note. Take it along, tear it apart - anything.\\
'''Instead''': It stupidly leaves the message lying nearby, allowing [=McReady=] and Childs to get a clue and intercept the Thing on its way up there, taking it down in the process.
** ''Climate of Fear'':
*** At one point, Dr. Deseado gets shot for his troubles after provoking his commanding officer Agapito too many times, and seemingly dies from that.\\
'''You'd Expect''': That the rest of the compound would still give it [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill an infernal treatment]] nonetheless since they do have at least some knowledge of how the Things work.\\
'''Instead''': They have Cruz, the guy who shot Deseado, bury him manually.\\
'''The Result''': Deseado, who was PlayingPossum, infects Cruz (or vice versa, depending on who was assimilated first), then gets back up, absorbs two more soldiers and sets off the chain of events which lead to almost everyone at the military base getting assimilated.
*** It turns out [[spoiler:the Childs-Thing managed to frame [=McReady=] by infecting his blood during the test, and now he finds him alongside Dr. Viale. It is armed with a flamethrower and has the surprise factor, plus the rest of American commandos on its side]].\\
'''You'd Expect''': That it would just [[spoiler:smite [=McReady=] with the flame burst and then do the same to Viale, then play things as if the two had been infected, which could be very plausible]].\\
'''Instead''': It transforms right off the bat, chases the two around with two flamethrowers while roaring like a maniac and as result [[HoistByHisOwnPetard gets blown to smithereens by his own fireteam]]. Nice work, moron.
*** Meanwhile, at the barracks, Agapito tries to rally his own subordinates to fight against the Americans. Unfortunately for him, the man he is shaking the hand of, Ramon, turns up to be infected.\\
'''You'd Expect''': That the Thing would assimilate Agapito right off the bat.\\
'''Instead''': It wastes time drawing the process and tries to pull off the PreMortemOneLiner. Agapito manages to slash his own arm off with a machete just in time before the infection spreads fully.\\
'''Then''': It turns out the rest of the stationed soldiers are the Things, and Agapito is the last human left on his own base (barring Dr. Viale, [=McReady=], Colonel Simm and his squad).\\
'''You'd Expect''': That the Things would bum rush Agapito and infect him on the spot.\\
'''Instead''': They just stand around, expressing their disbelief at their commander managing to do such a boneheaded move, giving him enough time to jump out of the window and escape.\\
'''You'd Then Expect''': That the Things would send someone to infect him and add one more crewman to their final scheme.\\
'''Instead''': They decide Agapito is NotWorthKilling and leave him be, assuming he won't be of any threat to them.\\
'''The Result''': Agapito gets away and becomes the SpannerInTheWorks, aiding [=McReady=] and Dr. Viale in [[spoiler: destroying the Thing's escape aircraft]].\\

'''You'd Expect:''' Spider-Man to request that Ash kill him to prevent the plague from taking over.\\
'''Instead:''' Spider-Man heads straight to Mary Jane and Aunt May to check if they are alright, leaving Ash behind.\\
'''Result:''' Spidey succumbs to the plague and consumes both Aunt May and Mary Jane, later devouring hundreds of civilians.
** After Spider-Man left him behind on the rooftop, Ash encounters the Punisher, who was on his way to kill the Kingpin and his men. Kingpin points out that with the zombie outbreak in New York, they should form an alliance to survive.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Frank to see the reason in Kingpin's words and begrudgingly agree on the condition that he would keep an eye on the crime boss in case he tries something funny. After all, it would be profitable to get help wherever you can find it.\\
'''Instead:''' He kills everyone in the room except for Ash, rationalizing that Kingpin was never human to begin with. This, however, leaves the two without backup. They then come across Thunderball, who is uninfected and fending off a large horde of zombies. Punisher has a bag of munitions and firearms with which he could kill at least some of the zombies.\\

** In the first issue, Cyborg is captured by Darkseid, who attempts to merge the two halves of the Anti-Life Equation together, using Black Racer in an attempt to keep Cyborg long enough for the process to work. The Equation becomes corrupted and infects Darkseid, causing Desaad to realize that he has to get rid of the now-virulent Equation.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Desaad to use a Boom Tube to teleport Cyborg, who now carries the Equation, to a lifeless planet so that it can't infect any more beings.\\
'''Or:''' Desaad to kill Cyborg to eliminate the risk of the Equation spreading.\\
'''Instead:''' Desaad decides to teleport Cyborg back to Earth.\\
'''The Result:''' Cyborg accidentally spreads the equation through the internet, which kickstarts the plot of the entire event.
** In the last issue, [[spoiler: Cyborg manages to somewhat subdue the undead Wonder Woman, albeit just barely. After interrogating her (or more accurately, the Anti-Life itself), he has no further use for her and he’s well-aware of how dangerous she is]].\\
'''You'd Expect:''' [[spoiler: Cyborg to always keep an eye on the undead Diana or to ''immediately'' destroy her before she can try any funny business.

There the meet the apparently immortal Franklin Richards, who they know as a kid in their own time. Franklin asks Cap whether he would like to know what's causing the Incursions that threaten the Earth and the entire multiverse in the 21st century, and who's behind them?\\
'''You'd expect:''' Cap to say, "Yes, please tell me all about it!" Gaining this information would be massively important, because it might allow the Avengers to stop the Incursions and save the Earth and the multiverse. Also, Cap knows that the Time Gem might transfer them into the future at any time without any warning... so the time they have available in the 71st century is limited, and hence an intelligent leader like Captain America should realize this time should be spent in learning whatever they can about the Incursions.\\
'''Instead:''' Cap doesn't want Franklin to answer those questions yet; instead he wants Franklin to tell him how to stop Tony Stark. Cap is angry at Tony and the Illuminati for trying to stop the Incursions through various morally questionable ways, and for erasing Cap's memory about this so he wouldn't oppose them. Franklin tells Cap he can fight the Illuminati but he can't fight fate, and that that things will only get worse if he fights them, and the Incursions will continue. Before Franklin has time to tell them anything else, the Time Gem once again transfers the Avengers away before they can learn what's causing the Incursions and who's behind them. After the Avengers return to their own time, the Incursions continue, and eventually [[spoiler:the multiverse is destroyed]].

So they're content to just wait for their universe to be destroyed. Reed Richards gathers his family, including his two young kids, so that he's with them when everything dies.\\
'''You'd expect:''' Even if he can't morally justify himself to destroy another Earth in order to save his, you'd think that Reed would at least do something to save his family. He has the knowledge and means to travel to the other universes within the multiverse. He also knows how to travel in time. So he could easily send his family to another universe, preferably one where the Earth has already been destroyed, so the Incursions don't threaten them. Or he could send his family far to the past of the 616 Earth, where they could live their full lives long before the Incursions ever start. At the very least, you'd think he would ''tell his family what is about to happen''. Even if his own moral code says he should do nothing and let everyone (including his family) die, maybe Sue doesn't feel the same way, so shouldn't she be allowed to make her own choices?

* ''ComicBook/TheSculptor'': David Smith is a poor artist who needs money to pay his rent ASAP. He gains the supernatural power to transform any material into whatever sculpture he imagines.\\
'''You’d Expect''': David to pay off his expenses quickly, particularly with small commissions he can make quickly with his new magic.\\
'''Instead''': David insists on building massive elaborate sculptures well outside of the affordability of the average person, which are pitched to a handful of elite art critics who dismiss the whole exhibit as unfocused. As such he’s left completely broke. The one time Meg suggests he make small cheap commissions to cover costs, David decries it as a waste of his talent.

** In his OriginStory, he's a college student, aiming with a private project to open a portal to hell. That cursed Reed Richards, who was passing by, points several mistakes in his formulas. Doom shows him the door.\\
'''You'd expect:''' That, once Richards is gone and nobody will take undue credit for his project, Dr. Doom would check again the formulas, to confirm if they are right indeed, or if there is some mistake to fix. If Richards ''was'' right, nobody would know it, and Doom can deny him any credit. In any case, checking and double-checking his work several times should be a must when he does a project like this all alone, even if Richards never interfered.\\
'''Instead:''' Doom ignores Richards' warnings and proceeds with the experiment. It goes wrong, there is a huge explosion, and his face gets scarred beyond heal.
** In his 2019 comic, Richards and Stark built a black hole in the moon, and it malfunctioned. Doom is allowed to build a fix for it, and to do it alone and unsupervised. There couldn't be a better chance for Doom to prove that he's the better one. When he's about to start it, Reed calls to wish him luck.\\
'''You'd expect:''' That Doom simply ignores the pointless pleasantries, and proceeds.\\
'''Instead:''' He starts speculating ''why'' did Richards call him, figures that he must had figured that the machine would not work and was secretly gloating, so Doom starts to oversee all the minutiae detail... and causes the machine to malfunction.

* ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'':
** Jason is an InsufferableGenius who finishes his assignments well ahead of time, makes them complicated on purpose, and has an A+++++ average.\\
'''You'd Expect''': The school or Andy and Roger would have looked into moving Jason up a grade, or having him attend an advanced school.\\
'''Instead''': Jason is stuck in the same grade. He may get assignments or extra credit but that's about it.\\
'''The Result''': Jason acts out in class and trolls people, which gets him in trouble. His teacher, Miss O'Malley, manages to challenge him by correcting his various extra details on his assignments, but even she gets worn out by his shenanigans.
** Roger has a new intern in his office, a sycophant named Skip Riley who is a few years older than Peter. He starts talking about Skip so much at home that he tunes out Peter, who wants to spend some time with his dad. Both Andy and Peter notice, and Peter outright accuses Roger of transferring his affection to Skip.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Roger being the good dad as he is, to apologize and keep his home and work life separate. Normally he will notice when someone is talking to him directly.\\
'''Instead''': He starts praising Skip again in the middle of Peter's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.\\
'''The Result''': Peter walks away in disgust. Roger only apologizes to him when Skip uses his sycophantic act to win over upper management and transfer out of Roger's office, making Roger realize he was just being used.
** Andy wants to do something with her life. She just writes fluffy newspaper pieces, while one of her former classmates is owning a building and expanding her business. Andy decides to write something serious, a screenplay.\\
'''You'd Expect''': She would start small and work her way up.\\
'''Instead''': Andy makes ambitious plans that never come through; waking up at five AM backfires because she falls asleep at the typewriter. She doesn't even have an idea for her screenplay.\\
'''The Result''': Her screenplay never comes to fruition.
** Andy picks out back-to-school supplies for Jason.\\
'''You'd Expect''': She'd get him things featuring some of his favorite themes, e.g. ''Jurassic Park'' (in fact, she does appear to choose a ''Jurassic Park'' lunchbox).\\
'''Instead''': She gets him nothing but ''Barney''-themed school supplies, much to his disgust ("''Barney'' isn't a dinosaur! He's a big, sappy doofus who sings to little kids!"). When Roger sees them, he asks if they're for a neighbor who's going to have her baby soon, leading Andy to realize that she messed up.\\
'''Fortunately''': She returns them, and lets Jason pick out the supplies.\\
'''You'd Then Expect''': Jason would choose things featuring themes such as ''Star Trek'', ''Star Wars'', ''X-Men'', ''Spiderman'', ''Batman'', and ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'', as well as ''Jurassic Park''.\\
'''Instead''': He chooses ''Beavis and Butthead'' school supplies, e.g. a T-shirt featuring the "Frog Baseball" episode, in which Beavis and Butthead use a live frog as their baseball, and end up killing it.\\
'''The Result''': Andy learns to never again pick out back-to-school supplies for the kids, and to never again let the kids pick them out, either.
** Paige often baby-sits 2-year-old Katie O'Dell, whose mother, Margaret, doesn't own a TV (at first).
'''You'd Expect''': For Mrs. O'Dell to keep it that way, since she must have realized that there are healthier ways for children to have fun than by watching TV (''FoxTrot'' often references other comic strips, such as ''Calvin and Hobbes'', in which Calvin has a tendency to watch too much TV and his parents tell him that he and Hobbes should go to play outside. In fact, Calvin's Dad once said, "It's going to be a grim day when the world is run by a generation that doesn't know anything but what it's seen on TV!". Perhaps Mrs. O'Dell realized from such a strip that not having a TV is good for her daughter).
'''Instead''': In a later strip, not only does Mrs. O'Dell have a TV, but Paige is using it to watch a show known as ''Jerzy Spaniel'' (a parody of ''Jerry Springer''), which is not geared towards younger audiences, while baby-sitting (Andy said, for good reason, that nobody was allowed to watch it at home). Katie is playing near the TV set during the show, which results in her learning a curse word.
'''Later''': When Paige hears what Katie has learned from listening to the show, she calls Peter, and asks him for help.
'''You'd Then Expect''': Paige would admit her mistake of watching a show unsuitable for children while baby-sitting.
'''Instead''': She claims that all she did was have the TV on while Katie was playing in the same room, and that she told her to not watch or listen (the story shows her telling Katie this only ''after'' she hears her cursing). She then sarcastically asks if she's supposed to watch ''Barney'' while she's baby-sitting, and Katie starts cursing Barney.
'''The Result''': When Mrs. O'Dell returns home, Paige admits to her that she accidentally taught Katie a curse word. However, Mrs. O'Dell says that children often hear and repeat inappropriate words, and that the best thing to do is to not encourage using such words. Unfortunately, they then deal with Paige having watched ''Jerzy Spaniel'' while baby-sitting, and Paige's payment is 1¢.
** Andy has mother issues, mainly because everyone thinks her mother is perfect, even her husband [[InnocentlyInsensitive Roger]]. Roger invites Andy's mother for Christmas without consulting Andy. Andy does a DramaticDrop of the groceries she bought and starts yelling at Roger.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Roger to seriously listen to Andy about why she's upset.\\
'''You'd Also Expect''': That if Andy's mother is as "perfect" as everyone claims, she'd explain to Roger and the kids that there's more to Christmas than just the material aspects, e. g. presents, decorations, and food, and that Andy is trying to get them to realize this as well, because she loves them and wants them to be properly informed about such things.\\
'''Instead''': Not only does Andy's mother refrain from doing any of this (she even gets the kids a Jupiter-64 Gamestation as a Christmas present, while Andy gets them a thesaurus), but Roger ignores Andy's stress, keeps being an InnocentlyInsensitive ass, and runs when Andy's mother catches her daughter grousing behind her back.\\
'''The Result''': Andy has to have a long-overdue conversation with her mother about her resentment, while Roger doesn't change.
** Eugene, Phoebe's brother, didn't have a good time at camp, to put it mildly. [[spoiler:He lost to his little sister at the science fair, who ended up bonding with his roommates over an EscalatingPrankWar]]. A few summers later, he and Phoebe are visiting Eileen, Jason, and Marcus. [[spoiler:Eugene decides to sabotage their friendship by stealing Phoebe's summer-camp journal and planting fake evidence that each club member could have committed the theft. This would disband their secret friendship club]]. \\
'''You'd Expect''': He would let them all fall out.\\
'''Instead''': He insists on EvilGloating and revealing himself.\\
'''Predictably''': While the four could gang up on him for [[spoiler:the sabotage and beat him up, Phoebe decides to go with LoopholeAbuse; she forms a new friendship club that no rules can break, making Eugene suffer a MeaninglessVillainVictory. Jason wonders how that's supposed to be Eugene's punishment, but [[DidntSeeThatComing her brother's]] [[OhCrap face falls]]. For what it's worth, Jason is a master of revenge so he probably has something fun planned for Eugene]].
