This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: ''Constantly''. The returned ships invariably have issues relating to their past experiences. The Navy is not sure whether or not to trust them, and things which seem silly at first all too frequently take on a dark turn.
** Pretty much summed up by the incident in which Kongou hijacks a webcam. The entire farce of Settle and Goto trying to stop her livestream was hysterical and somewhat lighthearted. It was also seen as a public relations disaster and led to both admirals having to explain themselves to their superiors and being at risk of simply being discharged.
