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:
** An anxiety towards Elsa's ice powers is one of the major factors towards her countrymen turning against her. Not everyone is accepting of a ruler with deadly ice powers.
** Not all assassinations are clean. Elsa is killed upon impact, but Anna isn't because the muskets missed her vital regions. Even the first attempt at a clean kill fails, because the bayonet didn't hit deep enough and was placed incorrectly.

* RasputinianDeath: Anna's death. The firing squad killed her sister Elsa quickly but somehow they managed to just severely injure Anna. The soldiers take pity on her and try to kill her instead of letting her slowly bleed out, but even that fails because they don't stab her deep enough. They succeed the third time by stabbing her heart.

Fueled both by the fever of similar revolutions storming across Europe and a fear of Elsa's ice powers, a militia forms in Arendelle with the intent of dethroning the royal family in autumn of 1848. Queen Elsa and her sister Princess Anna flee to Arendelle's capital, Oslo, but are soon caught by the new People's Army of Arendelle.
