Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
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: [[spoiler:What happens when Whisperleaf finds out Fairy Dust is trying to go beyond the wall. In any other story, Whisperleaf would run away with Fairy Dust, or they would try to change the villagers' minds, or ThePowerOfFriendship would make Whisperleaf decide to keep her friend's secret. Instead, Whisperleaf goes to the village elder to tell him what Fairy Dust is doing, and Fairy Dust is executed.]]
