What's surprising about these? Did the examples play out like a different outcome was meant to be exepected?


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** While Cindy and Artemis have been trained for years in combat, Issac isn't as physically capable in a fight and is helpless once his violin is broken.
** Despite their skills, the ISA lacks the training, combat experience and, more importantly, the trust the JSA has built between each other. Once the JSA start working together, the ISA is quickly defeated.
** Cindy spent the season up to now thinking that Eclipso and his powers were hers to command, despite several instances proving otherwise. Naturally, once he's released from his Black Diamond prison, he reveals he's been using ''her'' all along and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness immediately dispenses with her]].

* BullyingADragon: Even after it's become clear just how powerful and dangerous Eclipso really is, even after he [[SoulEating devours Isaac's soul]] in front of her, Cindy ''[[TooDumbToLive still]]'' tries to boss him around, insisting [[YouOweMe he owes her]] for helping him escape from the Black Diamond. Eclipso calmly replies that he owes her nothing, and creates a pool of black ooze which swallows her.

* SympathyForTheDevil: As horrible as she's been, it's hard not to feel bad for Cindy as she's being dragged away, struggling and screaming, to an UncertainDoom while desperately clinging to Courtney's outstretched hand and begging her erstwhile nemesis not to let her go.
** Issac also gets a mention as he's brutally killed off by Eclipso. He only joined Injustice Unlimited because he was a bullying victim and thought the [=JSA=] were responsible for his mother's death. Worse is that he dies without ever learning who really murdered her.

Disney Death consititutes someone, usually a heroic or at least likeable character, appearing to die but ultimately being alive. What happened to Cindy in this episode s more a case of Uncertain Doom.


* DisneyDeath: Isaac is consumed by Eclipso and is [[KilledOffForReal dead and gone for sure.]] Cindy, on the other hand, is sucked into some sort of black ooze puddle-cum-portal Eclipso creates from a shard of the black diamond and disappears. Anything could have happened to her.
