** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E13MagicalMysteryCure Magical Mystery Cure]]" never made clear how Starswirl's incomplete spell worked. It seemed like it gave the Mane Six sans Twilight FakeMemories of their swapped cutie marks and jobs, but Twilight stated it was their "true selves" not memories altered when explaining why she can't cure them with a Memory Spell. But if it instead worked by {{Retconjuration}}, that seemingly contradicts how Ponyville only started to fall apart as a result after they swapped as opposed to [[BadFuture having retroactively already done so]]. It's also unclear if or to what extent everyone besides the Mane Six were effected; Spike seemed unaffected but everyone else in town despite being upset at the swapped ponies ineptitude seemingly never noticed what was wrong or questioned why.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': While [[Characters/AmphibiaKingAndrias King Andrias]] mentions that his ancestors were proud conquerors and that he plans to continue that legacy, he either didn't have that ambition in the past before his friends' betrayal, or something held him back from performing his conquests. Notably, Newtopia in his story is depicted as thriving with technology and robots, yet there is no sign that Andrias is performing mass conquest, despite him ruling Newtopia for centuries, which would be odd given how he had everything he needed to commit massive conquests for a long time, yet showed no signs of doing so. "The Core & The King" ultimately clarifies that invasions were happening at the time of each king's rule and Andrias was meant to spearhead Earth's invasion per orders from his father, and it was Leif seeing the future consequences of the misuse of the Calamity Box and the conquests that led to her betraying Andrias and unintentionally making him far worse than he already was set to be.

!!Supertrope to:

* ''{{Webcomic/Phantomarine}}'': the Fata Morgana, who are what seaghost bite victims eventually turn into, ''supposedly'' serve Cheth, but when the group that assassinated Phaedra appeared, said god was ignored by them, and seemed to have no idea what they were doing there. He also seems to disapprove of [[spoiler:them attacking Pavel's home and causing his mother to be bitten and disappear to eventually become one herself]], implying that something else is going on.

* ComicBook/LexLuthor spends most of the last season on ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' seeing ComicBook/{{Brainiac}} everywhere after doing a FusionDance with him in the penultimate season, but it's unclear if Brainiac really did reside in Luthor's mind now or if Luthor suffered psychological damage from the merger and is just hallucinating him.

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': One of the last scenes of the GrandFinale shows that Dale has learned how to fix Nancy's migranes on his own, and he makes a remark about her not needing to see John Redcorn for them any more. The way he says it implied that he might have also finally figured out she was cheating on him with John, but it is not clear if he found out or he was just proud of his work on healing headaches. It is also not clear if Nancy knows that Dale knows.

* SantaAmbiguity: The work makes it unclear whether Santa Clause exists in the setting.

* ''Film/RoboCop1987'': Did Boddicker want to hold Murphy hostage, [[DisproportionateRetribution only deciding to kill Murphy when Murphy insulted him]], or did [[CruelMercy Boddicker want to kill Murphy from the start, only stopping the others from killing Murphy so he could give Murphy a slow, painful death]]?
