* In the movie ''Film/IndependenceDay'', the kids of the drunkard who crashes his plane into the soft spot of the alien mother ship are pretty sad because their dad just died only to be all "Hooray!" when Bill Pullman tells them "All their base are belong to us! The good guys win! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!". However, the oldest child does appear to be more solemn than anyone else when a serviceman tells him "What your father did was very brave. You should be proud." And the teenager informs him "[[SoProudOfYou I am]]."

Not so with characters in movies, anime, TV, some books, and so on, that get exposed to such dangers by a villain, by fate, or even by the heroes themselves. As far as they are concerned, "All is well that ends well" is a saying to be followed utterly if they leave any experience with their health intact (or recoverable), to the point of not even minding the long hours of risk, pain, heart-wrenching pressure, and emotional distress, along with possible property, reputation, love-life, and other kinds of damage, reversible or not, inflicted by the Villain, the HangingJudge, and so on. They, rather, simply focus on how fine and dandy it is that they escaped their ordeal physically (never emotionally, sometimes socially) unscathed (or, depending on the show, not ''too'' beaten up... or not ''too'' dead at least). This is frequent with secondary characters or unnamed ones: The show won't include them dying or anything too irreversible, but the near-complete destruction of their property, loved ones, or reputation is treated as an afterthought, and it's not uncommon to see them reacting very calmly to it.
