** It's revealed that [[spoiler:Dr. Emma Russell is not only aware about Alan Jonah and his EcoTerrorist status, but also has a plan to "heal the Earth". However, the plan is basically very flawed as it involves unleashing very dangerous Titans.]]\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That Emma's plan would not involve help from Alan Jonah at all nor would it involve unleashing giant monsters. She still cares for others' safety and she still cares for her Monarch coworkers. Not to mention that getting assistance from a killer mercenary who wants to kill several humans and unleashing god-like creatures could be disastrous for humanity and the people she does cares about as well.\\
'''Better Yet:''' Emma should realize that any plan involving Titan activity could end in disaster, whether it includes eco-terrorists or not and not go with the plan at all.\\
'''Instead''': [[spoiler: Emma asked Jonah for help sometime before the events of the movie. As the G-Team mentions that she teamed up with Alan Jonah. Believing that he and his goons will show mercy in Earth's destruction.]]\\
'''The Result:''' [[spoiler:Alan Jonah and his crew end up killing multiple innocent people and Alan Jonah persuades Emma to unleash the more dangerous titans. Emma, with Alan Jonah's recommendation, releases the highly unstable King Ghidorah. Who is technically a destructive creature who can spell extinction. After that, Madison tries to convince Emma that this is plan can cause more harm than good. But Alan Jonah pressures her into releasing the destructive Rodan ''while'' there are people on the ground. And more than half the population of Isla de Mara gets blown away by the giant titan. The Monarch operatives even mentioned how reckless teaming up with Alan Jonah was to her.]]\\
'''To Make Matters Worse:''' [[spoiler:When King Ghidorah awakens the titans into destroying the Earth, Emma starts to see the flaws in her plan. So she decides to use the ORCA to call them off. But since Alan Jonah wants destruction, he doesn't let her.]] No one can blame Madison, Mark, and of course, all of Monarch for being ticked off at her for her careless decision.

* ''Film/Godzilla2014'': The military is moving several high-value nuclear missiles by train to take on the [[{{Kaiju}} monsters]] when they have to brake because of apparent gun fire. After the commander of the train repeatedly tries to find out if the bridge they are supposed to cross is clear without response, Lt. Ford Brody and three others move out onto the bridge to see if it is intact and clear. After some time, they can see that the bridge is intact. With this, Ford reports 'The bridge is intact'.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' The other soldier with Ford to tell him that just because a bridge is intact does not mean it is clear. One of the monsters could have been in the area at the time, and the sight of the train could have spelt disaster for the convoy. After all, NothingIsScarier.\\
'''Instead:''' He radios the others to tell them that they're clear to move out and sure enough the female [=MUTO=] is in the area.\\
'''Result:''' The [=MUTO=] ambushes the train and destroys it, with Ford as the only member of the convoy who undeniably survives.\\

** [[spoiler:Dr. Emma Russell]] and EcoTerrorist leader Alan Jonah team-up to release the [[{{Kaiju}} Titans]], one at a time with Emma's expertise, to [[WellIntentionedExtremist save the Earth's ecosystem from man-made destruction]]. One of the very first Titans that Jonah wants set free is "Monster Zero", named such because so little is known about it, other than that it's one of the only Titans on Earth powerful enough to rival [[BigGood Godzilla]] for control of the planet.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Emma to persuade the eco-terrorists to put off freeing Monster Zero until they learn more about it, and instead, release any of the other sixteen or so Titans that ''they do know about.''\\
'''Instead''': [[spoiler:Emma willingly]] goes along with the plan.\\
'''The Result:''' Monster Zero, better known as Ghidorah, turns out to be a Titan they never should have revived -- not only does he actively [[KillAllHumans slaughter all humans]] unprovoked and actively vie against the one Titan who's keeping the others in check, but he turns out to be an alien Titan who's more interested in [[OmnicidalManiac reshaping the world with extinction-level disasters instead of fixing the planet]]. And he accomplishes this by releasing the Titans ''en masse'' to wreck and destroy everything.
** Emma's reaction to the death of her son Andrew, who was a casualty of Godzilla and the [=MUTOs'=] city-destroying battle which Emma and her family were caught up in, is infamously regarded as an AssPull. [[spoiler:After Andrew's death, Emma committed herself to working out why her son's death happened so that she could stop the problem at its source. Once Emma realized that the Titans' re-emergences were caused and are ''still'' being caused by ecologically-harmful manmade activity, and once she also realized that the Titans are essentially like the Earth's antibodies [[FertileFeet with the ability to repair damaged ecosystems]], she decided to both end the problem and punish humanity by [[StartXToStopX setting all the remaining Titans loose on the world]]]].\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Having witnessed first-hand the sheer death and raw destruction that just a couple of the Titans are capable of inflicting by doing nothing more than following their instincts, and having lost her own child to that destruction; setting the Titans loose on the world in population centers to create a million more [=Andrew's=] and broken families would be the ''last'' thing that Emma would want, no matter her end goals.\\
'''Instead:''' [[spoiler:She convinces herself that it's for the greater good]]. And she convinces herself that she's somehow ''honoring her son's memory'' by committing to this plan in his name.\\
'''The Result:''' Madison rightly [[CallingTheOldManOut calls Emma out]] for believing that Andrew would have ever, in any conceivable reality, wanted his mother to become a mass murderer by proxy all in his name, and the accusation shakes Emma.
* ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'': Godzilla has been hailed by the world as a hero after he fought alongside the U.S. military, saved all life as we know it from King Ghidorah, and prevented the other Titans from going near human-inhabited settlements five years ago. When Godzilla enigmatically storms into Pensacola in a state of agitation, obliterates the [[ResearchInc Apex Cybernetics]] corporation's local facility, and then returns to sea; the world reacts with terror and confusion, Apex CEO Walter Simmons effectively declares war on Godzilla on national TV, and the reigning assumption is that Godzilla [[FaceHeelTurn is no longer a hero]].\\
'''You'd Expect:''' With Godzilla's aforementioned past heroism in both ''Godzilla: King of the Monsters'' '''and''' the 2014 film in mind, and with it being common knowledge InUniverse that Godzilla only ever emerges to attack when he's provoked, more people than not would figure that there ''must'' be something provoking Godzilla's behavior that isn't immediately obvious. Furthermore, since it was explicitly the Apex facility on which Godzilla focused the destruction, Monarch and officials around the world will be giving Walter Simmons the stink-eye and saying "what are you hiding from us?", ''especially'' after Simmons draws further attention to himself with that speech on TV.\\
'''Instead:''' Just about everyone except for [[WiseBeyondHerYears Madison]], [[CowardlyLion Josh]] and [[ConspiracyTheorist Bernie]] just ''assumes'' without any further evidence that Godzilla has gone bad for no apparent reason and is now humanity's enemy -- everyone including new Monarch director Mark Russell, [[TookALevelInDumbass who was portrayed in the previous movie as a top expert when it came to predicting Godzilla's behavior]]. And ''no-one'' except for Madison, Josh and Bernie accuses Apex of foul play -- Monarch even goes along with Apex's proposal to combat Godzilla together without showing any signs of distrust about the corporation's role in all of this.\\
'''The Result:''' Apex successfully get what they were after from ''right'' under Monarch's noses, then YouCantThwartStageOne ensues, and ''no-one'' except for Bernie, Josh and Madison sees it coming when the Apex-made real threat to the world which [[GoodAllAlong Godzilla was hunting]] bursts out of Apex's Hong Kong HQ and destroys half of Hong Kong.
