Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/{{Wishbone}}'': Joe, Sam, and David sometimes suffer through this to reflect the themes of the story being adapted, sometimes caused by AcquiredSituationalNarcissism.
** In "Entrepawneuer", which adapts [[Myth/ClassicalMythology the story of King Midas]], Joe starts a grocery delivery service with Sam and David, who quit when they feel Joe doesn't see them as co-workers but subordinates.
** In "A Terrified Terrier", which adapts ''Literature/TheRedBadgeOfCourage'', [[InWithTheInCrowd Joe gets invited to join a group of older]] {{Jerk Jock}}s, which not only leads him to ignore Sam and David]], but mock them, too. In the end, Joe leaves the jocks when he realizes they simply see him as a gofer and [[ApologyGift he apologizes to Sam and David by getting them a pizza with an apology message]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/Nimona2023'': Just before the third act, Ballister confronts Nimona over the discovery that she is Gloreth's Monster, the mythical Satan-equivalent that he, along with the knights, and their society as a whole, have been indoctrinated into fearing and hating. This spirals into an argument that results in Ballister being arrested by Todd, and Nimona feeling so unloved that she transforms into a {{Kaiju}} in her grief, causing panic to erupt in the city.
