History Foreshadowing / WebOriginal

* In season 2 of ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'', David shows a surprising amount of emotional maturity twice, first by coolly accepting that as heartbroken as he is that Bonquisha broke up with him the relationship wasn't working for her and he wants the best for her (although he undermines it by attacking her boyfriend afterwards), and second by supporting Gwen finding other work outside Camp Campbell even if he'll miss her. [[spoiler:In the season finale, he realizes that the play is just making Max upset and so ditches it to go get him some pizza, telling him that even if the camp makes him happy it doesn't work for everyone and he cares more about Max being happy than following the camp rules.]]

* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's ''Film/{{Xanadu}}'' review mentioned her love for robots and had her finally getting pissed off with just doing girly shit. The next episode was a four part arc, starting with ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' and the Critic yelling at her for going into his territory.

* ''WebAnimation/MinilifeTV'': In "[[Recap/MinilifeTVSeason5Episode4 Parting Rose]]", Goshua tells Monty that he soon might not be able to look after Emery Rose anymore. He doesn't explain why, but [[spoiler:in "[[Recap/MinilifeTVSeason5Episode14 Life with Death]]", it's revealed that he has his godhood revoked for revealing Chris and Ian's true purpose, which he does later in the former episode, and part of his plan is to transfer his soul into another body]].

* LetsPlay/{{Pwnage}} Unintentional. In their ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'' Let's Play where Damian and Kyle are on the same team for once, when Kyle is throwing flash bangs around in frustration at not killing anyone in a while, Damian ask if he's trying to flash bang him. [[spoiler: This actually ends up happening. And Damian, in his blindness, ends up shooting his own teammate, costing them both the match.]]

* In the Youtube video ''The Devil And Daniel Webster'', the main character, Javez, along with 2 others mention 'not selling [Javez's] soul to the devil. After doing so, a character will look puzzled, and whoever said it will reply, "Foreshadowing."

* During the finale of season 5 of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', Church is infected by the Omega AI after it has passed through every other character in Blood Gulch. While everyone else turned into maniacal, psychopathic versions of themselves while possessed by Omega (Except for [[LazyBum Grif]], who was too lazy to act on those impulses), Church observes that he doesn't feel any different. While this seems to indicate that Church is already evil and being infected by Omega just didn't do anything to his normal disposition, it's later revealed that [[spoiler: Church himself is an AI, and all of the other AIs that appear in the series were made by splitting the original AI, Alpha, into many different ones, with Omega being one of these. Church didn't feel any different because Omega is just one of his split personalities back from whence he came.]]

* In Stone's first appearance as a [[Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse Global Guardian]], a fight with several villains from [[NebulousEvilOrganization TAROT]], [[WorldsStrongestMan Strength]] jokes at him, "Say hello to your Mom for me." Stone, being an orphan, just took it as a taunt. ''Nine years later'', Stone finds out that he isn't an orphan at all, that his mother is a supervillain and that Stone was hidden from her by his own father, and that she had worked with [[WorldsStrongestMan Strength]] on several occasions.
-->'''Stone:''' "At least now I know what that muscleheaded bastard meant..."

** When Pyrrha pins Jaune to the lockers early on, pulling back her spear is accompanied by the sound of a magnetic hum, which is a clue to her later reveal that her Semblance is Polarity, the ability to control magnetism. Although a food fight reveals the full extent of her Semblance in a comedic situation, this is a set-up for her Volume 3 fight against Penny, who jokes to Ruby in Volume 3 about getting a magnet stuck to her head. [[spoiler:In their tournament fight, Pyrrha is manipulated by the villains into unleashing her full Semblance against Penny who is torn to shreds in front of millions.]]
** In "The Shining Beacon, part 2", Blake is reading a book about a man with two souls, each fighting for control of his body. [[spoiler:This foreshadows Volume 6, where Ozpin and Oscar, who become paired in the same body in Volume 4, briefly fight for control over Oscar's body because Oscar wants to tell the heroes what Ozpin is hiding.]]

** When Ozpin and Ruby first meet in "Ruby Rose", he comments that she has silver eyes and there's a scene in the Volume 2 opening credits that zooms into Ruby's eyes as the screen whites out. In the Volume 3 finale, a massive blast of power bursts from Ruby's eyes that freezes the Grimm Dragon and whites out the scene to the next, where she regains consciousness at home. Qrow tells her that Ozpin once revealed to him that silver eyes are very rare; people with them are destined to become mighty warriors with strange powers who are rumored to be able to kill Grimm just with a glance.
** In the Volume 3 opening, Teams RWBY and JNPR are broken apart from their formation dive, and the camera focuses on Pyrrha falling into nothingness. At the end, Team RWBY is under the DramaticSpotlight and Ruby is the only one with her head up; everyone else has their head hung dejectedly. Both events foreshadow the fates of all five characters at the end of the volume.
** In "Welcome to Beacon" team RWBY is seen playing Remnant: The Game in the library. When Ruby's forces are destroyed, Yang comments that most of her forces were androids, giving more information on the nature of Atlas and also revealing the concept of Grimm allies (which Yang uses against Ruby's fleet). The game [[https://www.facebook.com/ashley.bowling.549/videos/865266950263354/?pnref=story foreshadows]] the Volume 3 finale. Ruby deployed the Atlesian fleet which are defeated by Yang's Grimm allies, and at one point, Atlesian fleet turns on itself. The Volume 3 finale activates the Atlesian fleet, which are overwhelmed by Griffons. A Giant Nevermore attacks the tournament stadium and Roman steals an Atlesian ship, turning it on the Atlesian army. The robots turn on the humans and the White Fang ship in Grimm allies.

** In "Lesson Learned", when Qrow says "they don't give medals for ''almost''", Ruby replies that "They do, and it's called ''silver!''". At the end of volume 3, Ruby arrives ''almost'' in time to save Pyrrha, and seeing her friend die activates her Silver Eyes.
** In Volume 3's first episode, Nora falls into a panicked rant while explaining what will happen if Team JNPR does poorly in the upcoming tournament, and undergoes ColorFailure as she's comforted by Ren. Toward the end of Volume 4, Ren's Semblance is revealed to allow him calm his and others' emotions to hide them from Grimm, which manifests as their colors fading and turning washed-out. So that earlier incident wasn't a sight gag, but Ren trying to calm Nora down.

* In the first volume of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', a then-unnamed girl is shown watching Jaune at orientation. Because she wasn't a black silhouette like the other side characters, fans instantly predicted that she would later be a major character. They were right- not only does Pyrrha become a deuteragonist, but her unrequited feelings for Jaune form a major part of her character arc.
** From Episode 6: Ruby cuts down a tree in frustration after an argument with Weiss, and a giant black feather floats down, foreshadowing [[spoiler:the appearance of [[GiantFlyer the Nevermore]] in Episode 8]].
** A lot of foreshadows are dropped in regards to Blake. She is disgusted by Cardin's FantasticRacism, her [[HairDecorations large bow]] twitches slightly, and she demonstrates a suspiciously intimate knowledge of the Schnee Dust Company's inner workings. Cue Episode 15, where she gets into a very loud and emotional (that is, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness uncharacteristic]]) argument with Weiss about the Faunus and [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters the White Fang]], and:
-->'''Weiss''': No! You wanna know why I despise the White Fang!? It's because they're a bunch of liars! Thieves! And murderers!
-->'''Blake''': Well, maybe [[spoiler:we were just tired of being pushed around]]!
-->''*[[OhCrap Blake stops]] and [[TheReveal realises what she just said]]*''
*** And sure enough, she runs off to have a bit of a cry and takes her bow off... [[spoiler:And there are cat ears under there! Blake is a Faunus!]]
** In one episode early on, Glynda points out that Jaune's skills are a bit behind the others despite what the transcripts say about him. [[spoiler:Much ''much'' later, Jaune admits to Pyrrha that the transcripts are falsified and he faked his way into the Academy.]]
** It's stated by WordOfGod that Yang has a deficiency against kick-based fighting styles. Sure enough, go all the way back to the ''Yellow trailer'', where Yang is going one-on-one against Melanie (the girl in white, with the foot blades), and it seems Yang has a little trouble reading her footwork, and the girl even manages to get a few solid hits in, [[CurbStompCushion the only person in the whole bar who gives Yang any kind of difficulty]]. Sure enough, this deficiency really bites her in her clash with Neo.
** One of the darkest examples has to be right before Yang's tournament fight with Mercury, [[spoiler: when Mercury [[DeliberateInjuryGambit goads Yang into attacking him]].]]
-->'''Ruby:''' Break a leg, sis!
** When Ruby first meets Headmaster Ozpin in "Ruby Rose", his first words to her were "You have... silver eyes". [[spoiler:Flash forward to the Volume 3 finale and we find out what makes silver eyes important - they're the mark of a rare breed of warriors, themselves blessed with incredible power.]]
** The song "I May Fall" from the Volume 1 soundtrack is almost entirely foreshadowing for the Volume 3 finale. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAyrhMKXE8U Take a look]].
** In Volume 1, when Jaune has his Aura unlocked, Jaune rapidly uses a HealingFactor to heal a cut in his cheek and Pyrrha makes a comment that he has a lot of Aura. Just establishing the ButtMonkey comic relief as a StoneWall, right? Fast-forward to Volume 5, [[spoiler:Weiss is bleeding to death from being impaled through the back by Cinder and Jaune is tearfully trying to hold her wound, when a ''white'' aura covers her body and she coughs into life. Turns out Jaune's Semblance is he can transfer his considerable aura ''into others''. Two episodes later, Weiss is back on her feet and she floors [[TheBrute Hazel]] to boot.]]

* Frequently lampshaded in ''Fanfic/FarceOfTheThreeKingdoms.'' Characters who foreshadow their own defeat or death generally receive facepalms and comments of WhatAnIdiot. In Chapter 91, Zhao Yun actually gets his way by threatening to foreshadow defeat.

* During the finale of season 5 of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', Church is infected by the Omega AI after it has passed through every other character in Blood Gulch. While everyone else turned into maniacal, psychopathic versions of themselves while possessed by Omega, Church observes that he doesn't feel any different. While this seems to indicate that Church is already evil and being infected by Omega just didn't do anything to his normal disposition, it's later revealed that [[spoiler: Church himself is an AI, and all of the other AIs that appear in the series were made by splitting the original AI, Alpha, into many different ones, with Omega being one of these. Church didn't feel any different because Omega is just one of his split personalities back from whence he came.]]

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m-c2eOWAp8 Part 2]] of the ''WebVideo/Ben McYellow'' series, watch closely when JJ pulls out the map and you can see that he has a picture of the late [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Mr. Yat]] clipped to it. In Part 3, [[spoiler: JJ turns out to be Mr. Yat's brother.]]

-->'''[[LaPucelle Priere]]''': ...Wonder what'd I'd be like as a superhero...no, that's a stupid subject, never mind... \\

'''@/{{Hilarity|Ensues}}''': I hope it's not one of those premonitions where [[FinalDestination everyone dies, then you tell people about it, thereby saving a select few survivors from certain death, only for those very same people to die in bizarre accidents a short time later]], and then [[TakeThat someone makes a shitty horror series based off of it]].\\

* Commonly in TheSlenderManMythos, whenever someone mentions childhood fears or something along the line of that, expect [[FanNickname Slendy]] to be intersected with those fears at some point. For a more specific variant, see Blog/JustAnotherFool, in which Josh mentions breaking an arm after some man in a suit refused to get off the road, so he swerved out of the way and fell off his motorbike. [[spoiler: It's heavily implied that the next time this happens, it's not just his arm that gets broken.]]
