Added DiffLines:

* In ''Wyjście z cienia'' by Creator/JanuszZajdel most humans unquestioningly believe this about the Prox, a group of rather InscrutableAliens who saved Earth from an invasion decades back and stayed to ensure it remains prosperous and safe. [[spoiler: They're actually exploiting Earth for resources. And they were the ones to "[[TheCon invade]]" in the first place]].

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': As much as the Doctor thinks that HumansAreSpecial, humanity (and reality itself for that matter) would have perished without his intervention long ago. Lampshaded in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft "Turn Left"]] when the world starts to decay and even reality itself ceases to exist without the Doctor's intervention. Though in this case it's a mutually-beneficial/symbiotic relationship, the whole ForWantOfANail alternate timeline was spun off not ''because'' of the Doctor's death, but rather his death and the subsequent consequences were the result of ''one human woman'' not being there to help ''him''.

Contrast HumanityIsSuperior, HumanityIsAdvanced and MugglesDoItBetter, where we can do everything superpowered aliens can do, but with science and technology instead. Compare SuperiorSpecies and HumansAreMorons. Can overlap with BenevolentAlienInvasion. Occasionally, the role of the benevolent aliens can be assumed by [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]] or other supernatural beings.

beings. Also compare and contrast CosmicHorrorStory, a similar trope in that humans are insignificant and nonhumans dominate the world but also either are apathetic at best and outright hostile to humanity at worst.

* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' is all about Earth getting caught between the two sides of an alien civil war. By the third season, we've taken a bit of a [[TookALevelInBadAss Level In Badass]], but for the first two seasons we're almost totally dependent on the Autobots to defend us from the Decepticons.

PlayedWith in some versions, where the only reason the Decepticons found Earth at all is (accidentally) because of the Autobots.

* ''LightNovel/ScrappedPrincess'': This is the justification Cz uses, when she explains to Shanon why it was necessary for the Peacemakers to [[spoiler:keep their world locked in MedievalStasis]]. Later, during the final episode, [[spoiler:[[DeityOfHumanOrigin Mauser]]]] goes into greater detail, when [[spoiler:she]] explains the reasoning for this to Pacifica.
