* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': When Homer becomes a member of the secret society The Stonecutters, he is found to have a special birthmark that signifies he is The Chosen One. He actually proves to be a great leader -- but NOT the kind they were looking for. At least one or two characters have their doubts that he's really the one prophesied by the Sacred Parchment.
** Its worth pointing out he actually was exactly the leader the Stonecutters wanted: one that abused his power for his own pleasure and let them do the same. Then he got bored and started listening to Lisa, and had them do acts of charity which they found ''unacceptable'', making this an Inversion.

* Po in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' was chosen by Oogway to be the successor of the Dragon Scroll, seemingly because he happened to be in the right place at the right time. Since he's a slow, fat panda with barely any physical abilities, let alone martial arts skills, the choice is immediately questioned by everyone, even Po himself. However, it becomes apparent that he is more capable of being a hero as the film goes on. [[spoiler:His chubbiness also happens to protect him from Tai Lung's [[PressurePoint nerve strikes]]. Then the [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3 third film]] reveals why he chose Po: to bridge the past and future of kung-fu.]]

* Izuku Midoriya has shades of this in ''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'' especially in universe, where he's viewed as weak and useless and worthless due to not having a superpower and despite having hero qualities, his tendency to break bones after being trusted with All Might's quirk has his teacher Aizawa initially questioning his hero potential though Midoriya quickly proves him wrong.

There's also Sir Nighteye dismissing Midoriya due to the boy's reckless tendency to run headlong into danger without thought of his own safety but he too began to change his mind just before his death.

* In ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm'', Cam initially has doubts that the three chosen to become Rangers... well, can become Rangers. To be fair, those three were considered the three worst students, not to mention that the only reason they were chosen was that [[LateToTheParty all the other candidates got kidnapped]]. Same goes to the original counterpart, Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger. Not so much with the Gouraigers/Thunder Rangers and Shurikenger/Cam, who are powerful and prodigal students. (Well, Cam is where PR and sentai differ. Specifically, the prodigal bit.)
