A normal person would be annoyed, upset, angry, or downright furious at having gone through a near-death experience, having nearly gone to jail unfairly (or actually done some time there unfairly), nearly losing, or actually losing, their worldly possessions, loved ones, reputation, and so on, and so forth. Some people might even, and with good reason, sue for damages, look for revenge, and/or become emotionally scarred for life due to it. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Not so with characters in movies, anime, TV, some books, and so on, that get exposed to such dangers by a villain, by fate, or even by the heroes themselves. As far as they are concerned, "All is well that ends well" is a saying to be followed utterly if they leave any experience with their health intact (or recoverable), to the point of not even minding the long hours of risk, pain, heart-wrenching pressure, and emotional distress, along with possible property, reputation, love-life, and other kinds of damage, reversible or not, inflicted by the Villain, the Hanging Judge, and so on. They, rather, simply focus on how fine and dandy it is that they escaped their ordeal physically (never emotionally, sometimes socially) unscathed (or, depending on the show, not too beaten up... or not too dead at least). This is frequent with secondary characters or unnamed ones: The show won't include them dying or anything too irreversible, but the near-complete destruction of their property, loved ones, or reputation is treated as an afterthought, and it's not uncommon to see them reacting very calmly to it. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Compare Easily Forgiven. Occasionally combines with Only The Leads Get a Happy Ending. When a main character utilizes this constantly in-story, otherwise the plot would stop, it's Angst? What Angst?. Some characters involved may be Karma Houdinis. A related trope is the subjective Esoteric Happy Ending, which in some cases could be seen as an extreme version of this trope. Contrast to It's the Journey That Counts. Not to be confused with the William Shakespeare play All's Well That Ends Well. NOTE: If you link to this trope, make sure you do not use the contracted form of "all is". Given this often involves a story's ending, beware of unmarked spoilers. |

In the Brother Cadfael mystery The Confession of Brother Haluin, the monk of the title is so overjoyed to discover that his youthful love and their child are both alive, rather than eighteen years dead thanks to an abortifacient he sent the girl, that he never spares a thought for the 'woman scorned' who lied to him all those years ago, even to forgive her. She simply doesn't count and neither do his years of grief and torment. He is a monk. | |

In the show Samurai Jack, the main character initially fights the Big Bad, Aku, only to be thrown into a future where the villain has essentially won. Over the course of the series, Jack faces numerous setbacks and near-victories in his attempts to return to the present and defeat Aku, preventing the future he is trapped in. Through all of these, Jack stoically faces each defeat of his purpose in what can be described as "Amor Fati," Latin for "To love fate", which nicely describes this trope. | |

Subverted in the 2010 French film The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec. At the end of the movie, all seems good and settled, and the titular heroine Adèle decides to relax by going on a cruise. Unfortunately for her, the ship that she boards is the Titanic. Pretty creepy, for an otherwise lighthearted movie. | |

Bleach: Uryuu Ishida uses his hollow bait to start a Hollow-hunt-off with Ichigo in the middle of a city. It attracts so many powerful hollows that the entire city is caught up in it to an extent Ishida never intended. Despite this, he ends up friends with Ichigo very quickly afterwards. Ishida does point out the amount of hollow bait he used should never have caused a hollow response like this and it's eventually revealed Aizen was the cause of what happened, not Ishida. Considering that Mayuri essentially made Ishida his bitch, it's odd to see Mayuri, of all people, as an agent of tangential justice, but there you go. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: At the end of Sonic Adventure, Tails says this in the English dub. While looking out at the flooded ruins of what once was Station Square, devastated by what was for all intents and purposes a god. Averted in the original Japanese script, in which he was simply expressing relief that Chaos had calmed down and stopped his Roaring Rampage of Revenge. In Sonic Adventure 2, Eggman destroys the moon. In real life, this should bring about an immediate and devastating apocalypse, thanks to both the inevitable meteor shower and the flash flooding of 7/8th of the planet, but after this cutscene (and for the rest of the series), it's just business as usual. |

In Gunsmith Cats, Rally and Minnie May get into an argument, after which Minnie May explodes Rally's car. After Rally takes a cab home, she is held up by muggers. Minnie May shows up and the two drive the muggers away. They go on to make amends despite the fact that Minnie May exploded Rally's very expensive (about 150,000 bucks) car. Happens again Misty Bown shacks up with Goldie Muso of her own free will at the end of Burst. |

In several Looney Tunes cartoons, the characters are smashed, burned and/or hit on the head by various machinery, but they're back in top shape by the next cartoon. Ralph the wolf and Sam the sheepdog fit this into one cartoon. Being a Punch-Clock Villain and Hero respectively, at the end of the day, despite Ralph getting a severe pummeling, they shake hands and say "See you tomorrow" like it's just a day at the office. |

Yes, she had betrayed Steve and Five-0, but that should only have added to the gravity of the situation, never mind that she probably didn't deserve to die. | |

The Game (1997) with Michael Douglas. He loses his house, family, friends, gets shot at, and almost dies several times. But it's all good because it was all just a big birthday prank from his younger brother. He's told from the outset that it is a game, although we never quite find out how clued-in he is. | |

Similar to the FFX-2 example, this is subverted in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New World. The first game plays it straight, ending on an uplifting note, but the sequel introduces serious consequences to the first game's heroes' actions. The original Tales of Phantasia was a big deal for ending somberly on Alas, Poor Villain in an age where both this trope and Always Chaotic Evil Big Bads were normal. |

In Date Night, even though the police know the protagonists are directly responsible for breaking and entering, information theft, the destruction of a New York City Cab, quite a few parked cars, and a substantial number of police cars, they get off just fine in the end with nary a slap on the wrist.

Curtis and Varia in ''The Farside Trilogy, in spades. Varia lost her first husband to a logging accident, only to marry Curtis, his NEPHEW, a month later. Their marriage was broken up quickly when Varia was kidnapped. She was subjected to rape for months and when she escaped she wound up getting captured by someone else. Who pressured her into marrying him. She fell in love with him, too. Curtis spent a year as a slave during his efforts to get Varia back. He spent another year waging a war to get Varia back, and when she told him she'd outgrown him, he just married his second in command and went about his day. And that's just the first book. By the end of the trilogy, Curtis had become a widower twice and survived fighting in WWII, and Varia had killed her third husband to save him from torture. And the end of the trilogy has Curtis saying that Varia was his first love, and would be his last and greatest one. How is that for All's Well That Ends Well? | |

In the Knight and Rogue Series Michael declares his plan to capture the wreckers a success. That his plans didn't include being tossed over a cliff by them and falling a distance that would have killed any normal person and very nearly killed him-or even actually encountering the wreckers-doesn't seem to matter. | |

In an aversion in Disney's Gargoyles, one episode focuses on a character who stalks the Gargoyles with a giant bazooka in an attempt to get revenge for getting him fired from various mook and security guard jobs he held throughout the series up to that point. After an episode's worth of collateral damage from the Gargoyle's battles preventing him from even pulling the trigger, he finally gets one of them square in his sights and... fires a banana-cream pie at him. He also has a mook-job in a later episode, giving him an opportunity to save a Gargoyle's life, after which he decides to move somewhere that doesn't have Gargoyles. It's really too bad he decided to move to Japan, where Goliath and Co's journey from Avalon already showed there were, in fact, gargoyles there. | |

Further subverted with that game's ending and sequel. Sin is gone, the world is saved, and... the dominant religion on the planet just got shattered. Oh, and several groups suffered partial genocides. Lots of people are rightly pissed with lots of other people. Swept under the rug? No. Fixing all this is the point of Final Fantasy X-2. | |

Ginny in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is possessed and emotionally abused for a whole year, but seems to recover well with just bed rest and some hot chocolate. It's subverted, however, since in Order of the Phoenix, it's strongly hinted at that she did suffer trauma. And in Prisoner of Azkaban she's shown being especially affected by the dementor on the train (but still not as much as Harry!). The last line of the entire series is "All was well." Granted, it is 19 years later, but still. |

Averted in Quantum of Solace: Mathis was able to use his treatment after falling under suspicion in Casino Royale (2006) as leverage to get early retirement, apparently with a rather generous package. On top of that, he's not exactly thrilled to see Bond (who pointed the finger at him in the first place) when he shows up asking for help. | |

In the movie Independence Day, the kids of the drunkard who crashes his plane into the soft spot of the alien mother ship are pretty sad because their dad just died only to be all "Hooray!" when Bill Pullman tells them "All their base are belong to us! The good guys win! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!". However, the oldest child does appear to be more solemn than anyone else when a serviceman tells him "What your father did was very brave. You should be proud."

My Super Ex-Girlfriend has a super-heroine (for a given measure of the word) destroying the protagonist's life. In the end, she offers to pay for... the car. He seems happy about it, never mind that he lost his job, had a shark in his house, etc... But, you know, she's EXTREMELY crazy, considering that she'd done all that, and in fact notes that she COULD'VE killed him for breaking up with her, but didn't because "Deep down, I knew you'd realize your mistake and come back to me." Sure, he suffered a giant LOAD of emotional stress, but he would NEVER say it to her, lest she go crazy again. |

In the Rainbow Magic series, Rachel and Kirsty have this mindset. No matter how bad the things Jack Frost did are when it's settled they're relieved and ready to have fun for the rest of the day. | |

In Mystery Team, the characters seem pretty fine, despite the fact that they get chased through the woods by a drug dealer, held at gunpoint by a man they trusted, see two corpses, get shot (Jason), kill a man and lose their bikes. | |

In the movie Taken, the main character's daughter is kidnapped, forced into an addiction to drugs, and in the process of being sold into sexual slavery (and that's all that we hear about; can you imagine what we didn't?). In the end, she gets into a cab with her mother, smiling and jovial and simply happy to be home. Presumably, her stepdad is going to get her some very expensive therapy. Her best friend died of an apparent overdose in one of the brothels. | |

Subverted in Final Fantasy X, when Yuna is recounting the story of her father's victory over Sin. As a child, she is initially elated and caught up in the celebrations as everyone tells her what a hero her father was. Once the initial excitement dies down, however, she realizes that victorious or not, he's still dead. And that someday, it will be her turn. Further subverted with that game's ending and sequel. Sin is gone, the world is saved, and... the dominant religion on the planet just got shattered. Oh, and several groups suffered partial genocides. Lots of people are rightly pissed with lots of other people. Swept under the rug? No. Fixing all this is the point of Final Fantasy X-2. |

Pretty much the common reaction for the ponies in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, but it gets egregious with "A Canterlot Wedding", in which, despite what seems to be half the capital being demolished by an invasion, dozens potentially injured and the main characters having gone through a bit of a traumatic experience, they didn't care and just danced the night away, with one of them even saying "Best wedding ever!" | |

Strange Magic: The Bog King's kidnapping of Princess Dawn, his and Princess Marianne's attempts to hack each other to death, and the destruction of his castle by fairy saboteurs all seems like it won't have any negative effects on relations between the two kingdoms because Marianne and the Bog King fell in love, thereby apparently generating a lot of goodwill from even the citizens of their kingdoms. | |

The protagonist's wife in Face/Off was raped by the terrorist numerous times, while being under the impression that he was her husband, and the daughter, at the very least, had to watch all this. In Real Life, those people would be off to quite a few therapy sessions. Not so in movieland. | |

Defied at the conclusion of The Hunger Games, which is notable given it's a young adult novel. After the hell Katniss went through during the trilogy, the epilogue (set fifteen years later) establishes that although the tyrannical government was toppled and replaced with benevolent leadership, whilst Katniss ended up being in a happy relationship with Peeta and they have two kids, she's still got lingering trauma and probably will for the rest of her life (it took her years to even agree to having children due to her fear something terrible would happen to them). Peeta is traumatized too and sometimes suffers flashbacks, and both he and Katniss have nightmares. Katniss says that on bad days, she'll try to remind herself of everything good in the world she's ever seen. Presumably, she's also still estranged from her mother and Gale given they aren't mentioned as being part of her life, and to the general public she may still be known as "the rebel girl who went crazy and killed President Coin" (although the people close to her know why she actually did itnote she realized Coin wasn't much better than President Snow). | |

The Philadelphia Experiment: Despite the fact that Herdeg is indirectly responsible for the burning death of a car full of his subordinates, and the injury of some in the one he was riding in, he's more than happy to be the one driving Herdeg out (and engaging him in idle chit chat "So, what did you think of 1984?") so he can get back to 1943. | |

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, the sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has this for the Bucket family members besides Charlie and Grandpa Joe (who are cases of Angst? What Angst? throughout both books). They are effectively kidnapped by Willy Wonka, Charlie, and Grandpa Joe to get everyone back to the factory after the titular elevator's landing destroyed their shack. Thanks to Grandma Josephine's panicking over Mr. Wonka's intended method of returning, everyone winds up in space, encountering human-eating aliens. In the second half of the novel, back at the factory, the reluctant grandparents overdose on Mr. Wonka's Fountain of Youth pills, and Mr. and Mrs. Bucket face their parents turning into babies or vanishing, and then the vanished one reappears as a centuries-old crone. Once Mr. Wonka restores everyone to their original ages, the parents are happy. Once the news comes that everyone's been invited to the White House and a helicopter is waiting for them, the grousing grandparents are so overjoyed by the prospect that they voluntarily get out of bed for the first time in decades, and all is forgiven/forgotten. | |

Watson in Sherlock Holmes is the most extraordinarily forgiving man in literature. Holmes puts him through hell, faking his own death and making him endure all kinds of bizarre situations. He forgives him instantly and in the main part, never refers to the incidents again. Holmes becomes a much worse friend after coming back from the dead; before that, despite being a know-it-all and thoroughly annoying as a housemate, he was a reasonably pleasant comrade who clearly valued his friend-and-colleague, never seriously deceived Watson without a good reason, and certainly never forced Watson to do anything. The really impressive thing with Watson from the start is that his self-esteem appears to be under no threat one way or the other from hanging around with an insufferable know-it-all. |

Keiko Yukimura, from YuYu Hakusho, got kidnapped and nearly turned into a demon by Hiei in the early episodes. Once Hiei was part of the Nakama, however, she didn't mind him at all, and commented, quite calmly, on her former kidnapper's fights - rooting for him. She was pretty out of it around that time. She didn't really know who Hiei was past figuring he was one of her boyfriend's buddies. | |

But, you know, she's EXTREMELY crazy, considering that she'd done all that, and in fact notes that she COULD'VE killed him for breaking up with her, but didn't because "Deep down, I knew you'd realize your mistake and come back to me." Sure, he suffered a giant LOAD of emotional stress, but he would NEVER say it to her, lest she go crazy again. | |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Genesis", the entire crew of the Enterprise slowly devolves into animals, several of them carnivores and both predatory and mating instincts are mentioned. After being transformed for quite some time, everyone is cured (the fact that some are likely dead is glossed over) and what does the episode close with? Troi remarking she'd better clear her schedule for the next few weeks...and it's hinted she's talking about Barclay as opposed to, say, the entire likely traumatized out of their minds crew. Mind you, this is the kind of thing Starfleet personnel can expect to deal with fairly often to go by the rest of the franchise, so presumably the selection process reflects this. Speaking of TNG, "The Inner Light" had Picard basically living an entire life as someone else for decades, having children, growing old, and witnessing the gradual coming of an apocalypse that will destroy his "new" civilization thanks to a probe from said civilization that beamed the experience into his mind. In the end, he regains his composure pretty quickly despite coming back in contact with an identity he hadn't assumed in several decades. Producer Ron Moore did regret this, claiming they were so focused on making a good episode (and indeed, this is considered one of the best episodes of the entire series) that they simply didn't realize that this would be the most life-changing and profound experience of Picard's life. |
