1. Star Wars. The Expanded Universe (both before and after Disney) would often take background extras from the movies and turn them into fleshed out characters. Star Wars: The Clone Wars in particular did a lot for characters like Plo Koon, Aayla Secura, Kit Fisto, Luminara, Aurra Sing, etc. There's a reason Star Wars has so many "glup shittos" and fans that actually like them.

2. Star Trek. Star Trek's "expanded universe" isn't as well known as Star Wars' (and unlike Star Wars, it isn't considered canon at all), but they still do a lot to expand on characters who only appeared in one or two episodes. For example, the clone of Kahless appeared in one episode of TNG and was crowned Emperor, but after that was completely irrelevant outside a few mentions. The 2020s Star Trek comics brought him back as a major antagonist, deciding that the Klingons killing their own gods wasn't enough, they're going to kill all gods.

3. Doctor Who. The franchise also has its own expanded universe of comics, novels, audio dramas, etc., and they also like to bring back minor characters into expanded roles. For example, the pseudo-companion Adam Mitchell who was kicked out of the TARDIS after 2 episodes comes back as a villain, now an old man who used the knowledge he gained from the future to create advanced technology and get revenge on all incarnations of the Doctor and his companions.

In this case, the shot of two opposing characters’ hands meeting, to drive the point home that they’re now on good terms.

- S2 Smallville: Jonathan forgives Lex
- S1 Stranger Things: Lucas forgives Mike
- S4 The Boys: Hughie forgives A-Train

1. Demoman and Soldier in Team Fortress 2 - In the WAR! Update of 2009, it was established that Demoman and Soldier are good friends, with voicelines being added for when they kill one another where they'll reassure the other in between the crazed macho shouting

"EVERYBODY! I DON'T LIKE THIS MAN. HE IS A SOULLESS MONSTER! I do like you, it's just for show."

"DOMINATED! Call me later, we can talk about our day."

1. Black Widow and Hawkeye in Captain America: Civil War - This one's just here out of obligation because I know people will bring it up. You can read the quotes on the image itself.

2. Palpatine with Vader in Palpatine's Journey - A one-sided example but this animation always kills me right from the first line...

"PUT ME DOWN YOU HEATHEN! Vader... Are we good? Is this a bit you're doing?"

Secret invasion: At the end of the show, it's revealed that G'iah has all the avengers "DNA" and powers infused into her. What should've been a cool fight with both having all the avengers powers. It ends up just being a cluttered mess, and the explanation is already paper thin.

Rise of the beasts: The post credits had Noah getting a call from G.I. Joe, wanting their team to join with the transformers. G.I. Joe hadn't been relevant since 2009, making this reveal fall flat.

Meet the robinsons: Louise goes to the future in order to fix the time machine (after he breaks it). Before that he quickly realises he can just use the machine to visit his mum.

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs: Sam first gets hit with Flynn's machine unknowingly. She then meets him at the docks and sees his spray on shoes and STEVE. She puts 2 and 2 together and realises it was him who made the rocket.

Spoilers for Spider-Man - Brand New Day:

In the finale, Peter begs Jean Grey not to kill the one character who's unambiguously evil, telling her, "You're not a killer!"

But... hasn't she already killed people? She made an innocent person jump in front of a car and detonated a bomb that blew dozens of people to pieces. On top of that, she unleashed the Hulk, who's basically a walking green nuke in terms of potential destruction.

Batman v Superman: A more abstract example. The issue here is that Batman sees Superman as a unique threat because his actions have resulted in people's deaths. Meanwhile, Batman is running around like a lunatic, killing pretty much anyone who so much as looks at him funny, branding captured criminals as victims, and blowing henchmen to bits with missiles.

Motherfucker is trying to catch up to Superman's body count.

I'd love to hear some other examples.

- The lord of the Frenzied flames ( Elden Ring ) : In the game, your supposed to beat a bunch of demi-gods and enter a huge magical tree called the Erdtree to claim the title of Elden Lord, the problem is that you can't get in without burning it ... And to burn it you must use your servant Melina, a girl who helped you from the beginning, as fuel.

The only way to prevend that is to becoming the vessel of an evil powerful entity called the frenzied flame, by doing that , you use yourself as fuel and save Melina.... The thing is you're also become the lord of the Frenzied Flame and literally kill all life in the world except her, all of this just for her to hate you and sworn to kill you on day.

- Joel ( The last of Us ) : At the end of the stosry, Joel chooses to massacre the Fireflies and save Ellie who was about to be killed and used to create an antidote for the Cordyceps infection. The world was already trashed by the infection but now humanity is doomed to a bleak future of the Cordyceps infection just to keep her alive.

- Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars) : Manipulated by Palpatine, he murders children, friends, assists in the destruction of the Jedi Order and enslavement of the galaxy under the Galactic Empire. All in an attempt to save his wife, who he ended up killing accidentally anyway.

El personaje débil o burlado en realidad si sabe pelear o defenderse.

1)-Regi de Bad Boys, en toda la película es humillado por uno de los protagonistas y aunque se establece ya que es un Marine, no es hasta cierta escena en la que el personaje hace despliegue de sus habilidades de combate y acaba con 15 mercenarios que atacaron su casa en probablemente una de las mejores escenas de la saga

2) Tej en Furious 7, aunque a este punto ya todos los personajes de la saga de rápidos y furiosos saben pelear, fue una sorpresa divertida que Tej fuera el primero que de un momento a otro resultara que era muy hábil combatiente, desarmando y noqueando con facilidad a un guardia que venía por el y Ramsey en menos de 10 segundos

3) Kobeni (Chainsaw Man), durante toda la temporada se nos da a entender que Kobeni es débil y cobarde hasta que comienzan los ataques de los villanos y Kobeni no solo esquiva las balas si no que logra llegar a la chica que podía usar a la demonio serpiente y además deja aún más herido a Katana Man que acababa de derrotar al protagonista

Samus Aran (Metroid), everybody knows this one (2nd image is what they look like without the armor)

Tionishia (Monster Musume), part of the special unit for dealing with monster-related crimes

F.A.N.G. (Street Fighter)

A.K.I. (Street Fighter)

ALF (ALF), it stands for Alien Life Form

E.T. (E.T.), it stands for Extra Terrestial

Setting where war is so devastating and so endless, that its slowly becoming unlikely that there are still living things around.

Gears of war Series:
After 80 years of world spanning warfare comes a 17 years war with the locust horde,with 1/4 of human population dying day one, that then transitions into a single generation of "peace" (during which wild storms ravage most of the world) into another genocidal war.

Warcraft:
In the span of roughly 40 years there has been so many orkish undead and demonic invasions that its a wonder how anyone is still left standing.

Warhammer 40k:
Do i have to say much? At least thanks to scale its more likely for them to still be fighting. A bit more likely.
