[[quoteblock]]** Ozai has a second helping of this that deserves a medal for just how astoundingly long it takes to come around and bite him, compared to just how much it does. The simple act of banishing Zuko provides Aang with an extremely powerful ally without which Aang never would have learned Firebending, let alone True Firebending. Even before the HeelFaceTurn, how many times has he \'\'saved\'\' Aang from someone else because of his obsession with being the one to bring him in (which technically makes Zuko guilty of this)? Zuko even tells Ozai while visiting him in prison that he wants to thank him for exiling him because it was the best thing that could have happened to him. Talk about twisting the knife there.[[/quoteblock]]

* An episode of \\\'\\\'TheSimpsons\\\'\\\' has Moe try to cripple Mr. Burns so he can\\\'t bowl (thus ensuring Homer\\\'s team can substitute someone more competent). He ends up fixing a pain in his knee.[[/quoteblock]]

Doesn\\\'t satisfy the first criterion: what exactly is \\\"problem that, for whatever reason, makes it difficult, if not impossible, to win. If this thing isn\\\'t overcome, all will be lost\\\"?

** In another episode, Shredder and Krang have repowered the Technodrome, taken control of the city, and captured the turtles and sent them to Dimension X. The turtles escape from their prison their and contact Shredder to tell to him he didn\\\'t really win since he didn\\\'t beat them in combat. So he opens the portal and brings them back. It doesn\\\'t take them long to foil their plans. [[/quoteblock]]

Doesn\\\'t satisfy the first criterion.

* The first episode and, by extension, the entire \\\'\\\'BatmanBeyond\\\'\\\' series stems from the fixings of a villain. Terry [=McGinnis=] was a punk kid with anger management issues and Bruce Wayne was a bitter recluse, both living in a future Gotham that was worse than ever, before Derek Powers had Terry\\\'s father killed to cover up the fact that Powers is using Bruce\\\'s company to manufacture nerve gas. This leads to Terry [[LegacyCharacter becoming Batman]], and Bruce is angry enough to come out of retirement and start reclaiming the company while training Terry to be a proper Batman.[[/quoteblock]]

Doesn\\\'t satisfy the first criterion. What, exactly, is the problem Power solves by killing Terry\\\'s dad?

[[quoteblock]]
* A less villainous version in \\\'\\\'TotallySpies\\\'\\\' [[TheLibby Mandy]] ruined the girls photo that they were about to present to a contest, when judges see it however they find their photo fascinating and original making them the winner of the contest.[[/quoteblock]]

Doesn\\\'t satisfy the first criterion: there\\\'s no problem that Mandy\\\'s action solves: if it hadn\\\'t happened, the spies would just have had regular pictures.
