* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'': Master Shifu discovers that the chosen Dragon Warrior is not one of his students whom he trained so hard, but Po, a panda who has not had a single day of mentored training. This leaves Master Shifu very cold and dismayed to have to try and teach him Kung-fu. When it appears all is struggling, Shifu looks for a way to get Po to quit, but he keeps persisting, much to Shifu's dismay. When he is eventually called out on Po for pushing him too hard so he could bail out, Shifu realizes that he WasTooHardOnHim, and decides to be a more encouraging mentor.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'': Unlike the Peter from Miles' universe, Peter B. Parker is less enthusiastic about mentoring Miles. He's [[JadeColoredGlasses jaded from being Spider-Man for so long and his divorce from Mary Jane]], and is a DeadpanSnarker. He still tries to teach Miles, though some of his advice is less than helpful.
** In [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse the sequel]], ComicBook/SpiderWoman (Jessica Drew) is this to Spider-Gwen and acts as a {{foil}} to Peter B. who's since regained his optimism. While it was her idea to recruit Gwen, she [[HelicopterParents constantly hovers over her]], criticizes her constantly, and tells her to shut up when she tries to explain herself.
