* ''Literature/TheHungerGames'': The very first chapter of the first book establishes the setting to be a CrapsackWorld and starts with the proatgonist, Katniss' younger sister Prim being chosen to participate in a nationally televised DeadlyGame. While this prompts Katniss to [[TakeMeInstead volunteer to take her place]] out of BigSisterInstinct at the start of the next chapter, since this takes place in a CrapsackWorld, everything goes downhill from there.

*** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' starts after a TimeSkip where the Decepticons have conquered Cybertron over the interim. It's not a nice place, to say the least. The opening act of the movie also contains many battles where beloved characters from the cartoon are KilledOffForReal in brutal ways.

**''Film/TransformersRiseOfTheBeasts'' begins with the Maximals' home planet being invaded by the Terrorcons, led by Scourge, a pair of Predacon Scorponok drones, and their master Unicron, resulting in Optimus Primal failing to save his faction's leader Apelinq and being forced to evacuate their homeworld alongside Cheetor, Rhinox and Airazor to Earth, followed up by Scourge quickly slaying Apelinq, taking his insignia as his trophy, and gives Unicron the green light to destroy their home planet. It's just as horrifying as it sounds on paper.

*WebAnimation/WolfSongTheMovie has it where already in the first 5 minutes, the non villain characters thus far have been visibly displaced for a number of reasons, including the brutal on screen massacre of at least two wolf packs by the Death Alpha. The only characters whose initial woes aren't from him ironically enough are Kara and Alador, the protagonists, but even they have been displaced for a completely different reason

* ''Series/TheBoys'' opens with Huey on a date with Robin. It's all going well, up until [[TheSpeedster A-Train]] collides with Robin, hitting her at [[SuperSpeed such high speed]] that her entire body, save for her hands (which Huey is holding at the time), is ''[[LudicrousGibs liquified]]''.

* ''Series/{{Fallout|2024}}'', similar to [[Franchise/{{Fallout}} the games the series is based on]], ends on not-so-uplifting notes for its main characters:
** Howard Cooper, before he became "The Ghoul", was a pre-war actor and Marine vet who bore witness to the first bombs falling on American soil.
** Lucy [=MacLean=] was all set to be married to someone from a neighboring Vault, only to discover her husband, and everyone from the neighboring Vault, are actually raiders who kill several of her friends and kidnap her father.
** {{Downplayed}} with Maximus: he is suspected in having maimed a fellow Brotherhood aspirant who was to be named Squire, but he ends up becoming a Squire, himself.

* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' opens with a LoveConfession. Normally a happy event, especially as both parts want a relationship. Except this time it's directly responsible for the main character suffering a heart attack, which leads to extended hospitalisation and eventually forcing him to enter the high school the majority of game takes place at.

Once he actually gets to the school, the somber tone of the first few scenes immediately gives way to wacky school hijinks, which is the tone of most of the story outside of some serious scenes in the various routes.
