There's maiming and killing afoot. Screaming and cursing, the clattering of swords, gunfire. Faces distorted with pain and hate. It's terrifying, but it is to be expected.
But what about when you see peace in the middle of horror? One is smiling — not viciously, not insanely, not stoically — but calm, gentle... seeming almost enlightened as they slit throats left and right. They are the eye of the storm, the calm center of destruction, and their serenity is so off that it's more terrifying than any fury. Whereas many see this as a day of horrible bloodshed, this one is seemingly about as used to it as to a day of grocery shopping, and even if the chaos around them does genuinely bother them at all, chances are they will react with all the shock and terror of accidentally spilling coffee on their brand-new pants.
Villains and heroes can be dissonantly serene in battle mode, but it's rarely the main character who does that. Mysterious and frail-looking characters of whom one wouldn't expect such prowess often make it look like the easiest thing in the world to vanquish the enemy.
Conversely, this can be used as a contrast in the different plotlines, cutting between the chaos of one group of characters and the carefree state of another group of characters. Or a happy pop song playing next to the site of bloody carnage. Alfred Hitchcock even defined tension as a bomb placed under a table while the occupants are unaware and converse about meaningless topics, the audience knows more than the characters and are screaming at them to escape.
Another deceivingly harmless state of mind, although uncomprehending: Psychopathic Manchild, who often has a Lack of Empathy. Also likely to overlap with While Rome Burns. The Comically Serious is this trope Played for Laughs. Tranquil Fury seems similar on paper but is very different in practice. May cross over with Moment of Silence. Expect this character to be Strolling Through the Chaos while speaking in a Danger Deadpan. If the character is drowning at the time, it's Symbolic Serene Submersion. Compare Dissonant Laughter, The Slow Walk, Major Injury Underreaction, Unfazed Everyman, Conditioned to Accept Horror, But for Me, It Was Tuesday, Obviously Not Fine, and Ominous Adversarial Amusement.
The opposite of this trope is Felony Misdemeanor, which involves a character overreacting to trivial wrongs as if they were serious.

Stations of the Cross: Hey, if you screamed your fourteen year old to tears, would you then stop talking, start buttering a bagel, and ask your other kids whether they want meat or cheese, all while said fourteen year old is sobbing all over the table? No, because you're not a robotic mother who's trying to scare the sin out of her beautiful, horrible daughter.

Kyubey of Puella Magi Madoka Magica keeps his Frozen Cat Smile and friendly voice, no matter what horrors are going on around him. Justified because he's a member of an alien race which is unable to feel any emotions (the ones that do are considered mentally ill). Mami usually fights like this, which backfires dramatically in episode 3 and we don't see her taking a fight seriously until The Movie; turns out she's ludicrously skilled and powerful.

Five Nights at Freddy's:
Part of what makes the first game scary is just how calm Phone Guy is about the whole affair, telling you not to worry about being locked in with murderous maybe-supernatural robots, and matter-of-factly explaining your probable horrific death by being stuffed into an animatronic costume. This does not even fully slip when he, with the slightest traces of overworked stress imaginable, explains in his pre-recorded message to you that "it's been a bad night" for him and asks you to maybe sometime check the animatronic costumes in the back on the off-chance that he's still alive by then.
The Purple Man who appears in the mini-games is always seen smiling, even when he's murdering a kid and making him/her cry very hard. He's also seen smiling after he finishes killing five other kids. There's also a second Purple Man who appears (rarely) in one mini-game; the character you're playing as tries to save the kids, but this Purple Man stops you from doing so... with a big smile on his face.

Digimon:
T.K. has a touch of this in Digimon Adventure 02. Normally his reaction to seeing Digimon attacked or manipulated by evil is outright anger and fury (a result of the childhood trauma of watching his own Digimon die), but in his confrontation with the Digimon Emperor, he suddenly gains a strange Dissonant Serenity and calm smile, while catching a whip in his bare hand and turning Crusader From Hell on everyone.
In Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning, with Lui's discovery that Ukkomon has been essentially puppeteering his parent's corpses for years, brainwashing random children to be his friends, and created what Lui believes to be a species of slave monsters that exist solely to obey child masters, he snaps and violently pins Ukkomon to the ground, seemingly on the verge of beating him. Ukkomon simply smiles back and says Lui can hurt him all he wants until he feels better, causing Lui to let him go as the abject hopelessness of the situation sinks in.

Shin demonstrates this in the Area 88 OVA. When confronted by three Paris thugs, Shin just smiles. He remains calm as he snatches a knife from one of the thugs and hurls it into a robber's shoulder. The thugs are completely unnerved. Given that Shin is struggling with war trauma, his dissonant serenity is a sign that something is off.

Suikoden V has Sagiri, a former assassin turned detective who always wears a smile. She was conditioned from a young age to always smile, mostly because the Queen Bitch assigned to training her thought it would be funny to see people killed by a smiling little girl. One other character, Nakula, watched his father get killed as a child, and her smile is the reason he recognized her as an adult.

Sosuke Aizen from Bleach is the embodiment of this trope. It helps that to all appearances, his belief that he has nothing to worry about is entirely justified. It makes his loss of composure at the end of Deicide all the starker as a result.
Retsu Unohana definitely fits this trope really well as she always smiles even when she's threatening you.
And Gin is always smiling.
Mizuiro is this when he confronts Aizen. The others are panicking around him. Instead, he simply begins experimenting with Molotov cocktails and empty bottles with almost clinical detachment. He's more fascinated than afraid. His companions even point out how scary a person he is.
Learning the Final Getsuga Tenshou teaches Ichigo a level of calm that ends up being completely at odds with the fight he uses the technique in. Especially as Aizen begins to unravel into a Villainous Breakdown at the same time.
Tsukishima personifies this trope. He's screwed up Ichigo's friends and family and not only has he made them happy about it, but his polite, gentle manner actually creates the impression Ichigo is being completely unreasonable to be horrified by it.

In one Tom and Jerry cartoon, Spike and his son Tyke are trying to have a barbecue, in spite of Tom and Jerry's shenanigans. At one point, as Spike tosses the salad for the barbecue, Tom, in chasing Jerry, lands in the salad bowl, and Spike becomes upset but speaks calmly: "Do me a little favor, would you, pal? GET OUTTA MY SALAD!!" And Tom is only too happy to oblige.

God Told Me To: one of the mass murderers investigated by detective Nicholas is a man who killed his family because "God told me to".

The Thing (1982): At the start of the film, the Thing is in the shape of a sled dog. When being shot at by the lone surviving Swede, it simply runs away and doesn't act panicked. Later, when put into the kennels of the American base, it acts perfectly calm and sedate, never barking in spite of being in a new location surrounded by unfamiliar dogs. This eerie, undoglike behavior foreshadows its true nature. Behind the scenes, one of the actors noted that the dog playing the part was a dog/wolf hybrid and would naturally go very still and quiet rather than get animated and bark like the other dogs when feeling threatened, which he found much scarier.

Downplayed with Fuu in Magic Knight Rayearth. When it comes to battle she reacts as you'd expect. But with other kinds of physical danger (or when Cephiro is being plain weird) she reacts by getting really, really smiley and polite. Usually with flower effects in the background.

Downward to the Earth: After years of living on Belzagor, Seena has become disconcertingly blasé about its alien ecosystem. She has taken to wearing a local jelly-like symbiotic blob creature as an everyday garment, and talks with easy calm about a former friend who died, eventually, from a crystalline parasite that overtook his body.

In the anime adaptation of 11eyes, Yuka progressively becomes one as the mixture of the pressure of the Red Night, the constant near-death situations and her increasing jealousy of the other girls mentally break her.
To some extent, Yukiko fits this trope when she has her glasses on in the Red Night, where she keeps her upbeat attitude. She is unaffected by the grave situation, due to having lived through much worse in her youth as a child soldier

BoJack Horseman: Sarah Lynn is almost always chill about things she should be more concerned with (save for a breakup with Andrew Garfield). It possibly stems from her Addled Addict nature, but who's to say?
When Andrew Garfield broke up with her, she stabbed herself with a rusty bayonet to call attention to it and only let out the occasional sound of pain, even though she was bleeding everywhere. While on the way to the hospital for it, she was nothing but euphoric about it. As it wound up, she didn't actually get it patched and checked out by a real doctor... she just sealed it with duct tape and deemed it "good as new." A rusty bayonet.
She casually states why she's able to distinguish the taste of bear fur: her stepdad was a bear. Bradley, Joelle, and BoJack have to take a moment to process what she's just said, but she's numb as they come. This crosses into Gallows Humor territory, as do most mentions of her Terry Richardson-based stepdad.

Played for laughs with Roy in Knight and Day, who always, always, always stays calm, collected, and prone to Casual Danger Dialogue, even while hanging from the hood of a speeding car, getting literally thrown around a kitchen, or gunning down waves of mooks. However, rather than being a Consummate Professional, he's a bit of a Cloud Cuckoolander.

Then there is Jeremiah Valeska, Jerome's brother, who, after being sprayed with his twin brother's insanity toxin, has either been brain damaged by the toxin in a way that affects his ability to feel genuine emotions, or was just as crazy as his brother all along, but better at hiding it. When he first reveals himself as a villain, he shows a tendency to stay completely emotionless and logical while doing terrible things, and it's only later, after suffering from massive sanity slippage, that he starts acting more like the laughably evil monster clown he is famous for being. The best example of this is when some of his followers start to turn on him. He actually does show a moment of genuine rage when he realizes they're about to betray him, but looks absolutely calm and disinterested by the time he traps them in a room and precedes to burn them alive. This reaction is somehow much more disturbing than what his brother would have done while burning his own followers alive.

In the Honor Harrington novel In Enemy Hands, when Honor is in State Sec custody, she finds that the "deadness" and "cold-eyed patience" of some is even worse than the others' fiercely delighted hatred. In Echoes of Honor, a similar observation is made of Oscar Saint-Just.
Not that Harrington doesn't exhibit the same thing on several occasions when she very calmly sets out to end someone. The first time she did this in the series, heavily armed Marines physically recoiled from her out of fear as she calmly walked by with a handgun planning to execute prisoners who had raped and murdered some of her subordinates.
Havenite secret agent Victor Cachat is a genuinely Nice Guy that, when he has to kill someone, turns all of his emotions off, which makes him even more terrifying than any other alternative - enough that a slaver felt almost glad that he was going to be taken away by a slaver hunter.

This is the primary weapon of the Ghosts in After Earth. Because the Ursa's one and only method of sensing its prey is to "smell" pheromones that are released by fear, the Ghosts can effectively disappear by controlling their emotions while in battle.

The Simpsons:
A Running Gag throughout the show is that Springfield's children will cheer wildly whenever something horrifying is happening.
In "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson", as an epic Mafia war unfolds on their front lawn, Marge urges Homer into the house, but he points out that the one of the Yakuza is just standing in the middle of the fighting, arms crossed, not doing anything. "The little guy hasn't done anything yet! He's gonna do something, and you know it's gonna be good!" Homer still gets pushed inside, and immediately afterward we hear the sounds of one loud karate yell, one connected blow, and about three bodies hitting the ground. Cue Homer's disappointed groan. The same little guy's reaction to being hurled through their window — calmly getting up, brushing off the glass, bowing to them, apologizing and walking out the front door.
In "Bart on the Road", Bart gets a fake ID, rents a car, and crashes it in Tennessee. Lisa is unable to come up with a way to get Bart back on her own, so she explains the problem to Homer, but has him promise not to get mad first. Homer manages to keep a level voice and a perfect poker face, though it gains a brief purplish tinge.

Harmon James from The Purge: Election Year. When assisting Minister Edwidge Owens with his annual Purge Mass, he seems almost completely void of emotion, until he purges the first victim of the night, after which he seems a bit too excited, sharing a moment with Minister Owens. After this, however, he goes back to being completely stoic, even when bullets are flying around him.

Carol of Project ARMS is a cute little girl with the power to break and twist things with a thought. When she fights Ryo, she happily sets about breaking every bone in his body while laughing. "Yay!" Keith White would also count, when he gently hugs Alice while she cries to him about how she is under so much pressure and just wants to be free for once. He kindly tells her that it's clear that he needs to change how she and the other children are being treated — before signaling for the kids to be shot.

Gotham has a couple examples:
Jerome Valeska, the first of the show's takes on the Joker, is usually very animated, but there is one exception in the first season. When Jim Gordon is interviewing Jerome (who is a teenager at the time) for information about his mother after she is murdered, he has to ask him if he resents her for having an extremely active sex life that everyone knows about. He looks a little bit embarrassed when asked, but then just shrugs and says that if it wasn't for her sex life, he wouldn't have been born. Unsurprisingly, he's a little less okay with being so exposed to his mother's sex life than he at first lets on, and it's a clue that he's the one who killed her. In later seasons, we learn that she often had sex while he was close enough to hear what she was doing, and that her sex partners sometimes beat him.
Then there is Jeremiah Valeska, Jerome's brother, who, after being sprayed with his twin brother's insanity toxin, has either been brain damaged by the toxin in a way that affects his ability to feel genuine emotions, or was just as crazy as his brother all along, but better at hiding it. When he first reveals himself as a villain, he shows a tendency to stay completely emotionless and logical while doing terrible things, and it's only later, after suffering from massive sanity slippage, that he starts acting more like the laughably evil monster clown he is famous for being. The best example of this is when some of his followers start to turn on him.

Beavis and Butt-Head:
"No Laughing" has Butt-Head bounce a pencil right into Beavis' eye, who at first screams in agony. Then Butt-Head only casually remarks "Woah, that was cool. It really does happen!" and Beavis merely yanks the pencil out and laughs as if nothing happened.
In "Nosebleed", after Butt-Head breaks Beavis' nose, the former remarks that the latter's heavy nosebleed is the coolest thing that Beavis has ever done. Beavis agrees, though.
In "Woodshop", as Beavis gushes blood after putting his own finger on the table saw, Butt-Head just calmly stares and laughs along with him. Butt-Head even calls Beavis' injury "cool".

The Night Unfurls:
Whether it be mentioning how someone tried to kill him, describing how he's going to kill another, or actually doing the killing left and right, the Hunter is always the calm in the middle of horror, anxiety and carnage. The word "serenely" is often used in tandem with any bloodshed that involves him, as if he is not concerned in the slightest with being covered in viscera. Many of his allies find it disconcerting that someone could react with casual indifference or even be in a good mood during such situations.
Evetta is poised and composed, behaving like her usual self even when two men are having the life choked out of them as she wills. Her reaction to a traitorous guard with his leg bent in the wrong direction is to tilt her head in curiosity, ask for the person who paid him, and bend his leg further.

RWBY:
In Volume 7, after Ironwood's fear and paranoia over Salem have finally driven him Off The Slippery Slope, and he decides to abandon Mantle to the Grimm while turning Atlas into a police state, he becomes almost unnaturally calm and quiet, to absolutely chilling effect. The Tin Man lost his heart...
Ironwood does it again in Volume 8 "Ultimatum", when he calmly announces to the kingdom that if Penny doesn't turn herself in, he will drop a bomb on Mantle.
In Volume 9, Neopolitan pulls this off, gently bobbing her head and smiling with sweet, innocent delight as she informs Ruby that she will enjoy watching her break.

For someone that goes through such absolute hell, Ethan Winters of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is... strangely calm about the whole ordeal. He gets a hand chainsawed off and barely reacts to it. He can also get a leg cut off and still, his reaction is of puzzlement rather than pain or panicking. However, this is only present in the English version; other dubs tend to make him much more emotional.

Most of the Titans from Attack on Titan wander around with a creepy smile (or another expression) plastered to their faces as they seek out and devour people. They look like they're stoned out of their minds. Depending on who you ask, this either makes them unintentionally hilarious or extremely unnerving. Actually justified in that Titans are normal people who are trapped in an eternal Lotus-Eater Machine, so it would make sense that their Titan forms look very blissed-out and high as the sky. Some of the human characters fight like this too, primarily Levi.
Among the Shifters, the Beast Titan is this, constantly wearing a sweet smile, even right before condemning Mike Zacharius to an excruciating death by being torn limb-to-limb by a group of Titans. Apart from the gore that follows, the casual way this cruel deed occurs makes this among the most unsettling scenes in the series.
A case Played for Laughs is when Eren starts to regain his senses after emerging from his Titan form for the first time. The first thing he says is "you are all going to die..", with a sheepish grin and relaxed expression. Armin's subsequent reaction is priceless◊, especially since Eren, Armin, and Mikasa are currently being held at gunpoint and Eren isn't exactly helping.
Played terrifyingly straight during Eren and Reiner's reunion after the four-year time skip, especially considering how their previous interactions saw Eren promising to "make them suffer and die in the most painful way possible." Reiner even asks him about it to which Eren replies with an almost sheepish head scratch: "I vaguely recall saying that... Let's just forget about it." What makes it worse is that Eren's voice did not rise above a whisper during their entire conversation, even while grilling Reiner as to why his mother had to die during his, Bertholdt's, and Annie's assault on Wall Maria, or when he casually revealed to Falco that essentially doomed Marley when he sent Eren's letters for him. He finishes their conversation by stating that he and Reiner are the same before he hits them with the Wham Line, "I just keep moving forward... until I destroy my enemies," while his eyes glow and lightning surrounds him.

In Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning, with Lui's discovery that Ukkomon has been essentially puppeteering his parent's corpses for years, brainwashing random children to be his friends, and created what Lui believes to be a species of slave monsters that exist solely to obey child masters, he snaps and violently pins Ukkomon to the ground, seemingly on the verge of beating him. Ukkomon simply smiles back and says Lui can hurt him all he wants until he feels better, causing Lui to let him go as the abject hopelessness of the situation sinks in.

Snafu in The Pacific. Snafu's usually deadpan calm whether he's just shooting the breeze or prying gold teeth out of a dead Japanese soldier's mouth. When Sledge admits he's scared and Captain Ack Ack states "Everyone is; any man who says he's not is either lying or dead", a quick shot of Snafu makes you wonder what that makes him.
He also manages to sound calm about things when it's apparent that he really isn't. When Snafu talks Sledge out of taking up his own habit of prospecting for gold teeth among dead Japanese soldiers, his warning about "diseases that'll make you sick" is less his worrying about hygiene and more a cover to let him express his concern about the comparatively idealistic Sledge starting down the same road he's traveled.
Despite everything, Okinawa almost breaks him: he nearly starts a fight with Sledge, who's probably the person he's closest to, and it's only after Peck climbs up on an exposed ridge and fires at the enemy and Hamm is shot saving him that he seems to go back to his usual self. Even then, there's still a slight change in his demeanor.

Supernatural
In an episode of Season 5, a group of pagan gods meet to discuss the upcoming Judeo-Christian apocalypse. Lucifer finds them, explains his disdain for the pagans to Mercury, and calmly kills each and every one of these gods (except for Kali, who got away).
Castiel's behavior in his introductory scene is essentially this — he walks into the building where Dean and Bobby are waiting and continues forward calmly even as they open fire on him, while light bulbs burst in his presence and the building shakes and rattles. When he finally reaches Dean, Dean immediately stabs him in the chest, and his response is to look at the knife with a sort of vague amusement before simply pulling it out.

Cowboy Bebop: When he's disposing of common thugs, Spike is absolutely nonchalant in his violence, making pummeling strikes and kicks look more like someone's morning stretches. This is in spite of gunshots and death threats being slung his way all the while. Against a more formidable foe, though, he gets more serious.
Done beautifully in "Ballad of Fallen Angels", as Spike is hurled out of a stained glass church window just after a kickass church gunfight. As the glass shards fall with him, he very calmly remembers his past with Julia over the lilting strains of "Green Bird".

Kaworu in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Also, during Third Impact, Giant Naked Rei/Lilith is smiling peacefully, and she maintains this same smile even as her body falls apart.
Rebuild 2.22 starts out with Mari sitting in Evangelion Provisional Unit-05, about to fight an Angel, and she's happily singing while chasing the thing. Hell, her only worry is that her Plugsuit is a bit too tight on her breasts! Later, while Shinji is causing Near-Third Impact, everyone is scared out of their minds, but Kaji and Mari just take it easy.
In Rebuild 3.33, Mari says she's actually interested in seeing what will happen when the 12th Angel dies, and a few minutes later, sits in her entry plug, drinking tea from bottles... while Unit-13 is causing the Fourth Impact! The girl really needs to learn something about appropriate behaviour.

Discworld:
Night Watch: Carcer will smile serenely as he's stabbing you, and then with a look of childlike innocence, go "Who, me?" to any bystanders, as if he didn't just kill someone in cold blood.
Carrot is Carcer's good opposite. When Angua was kidnapped, he decided to eat and take a nap so he'd be in better shape to deal with the kidnappers later.
Thief of Time: This is invoked by History Monk and déjà fu master Lu-Tze, who is surprised that his opponents forgot a vital rule: do not act incautiously when confronting little bald wrinkly smiling men.

The Undertaker of The Backwater Gospel remains disturbingly calm throughout the entire film. He remains sitting in one spot through most of the film and doesn't even flinch when the whole town starts killing each other, even less so when the Minister points a gun at him. And at the end of it all, he slowly gets up, whistles an Ironic Nursery Rhyme, and starts measuring the coffin-size for the nearest dead body.

Sephiroth as he destroys Nibelheim in Cloud's flashback scene in Final Fantasy VII.
And during his battle with Cloud in Advent Children. His expression upon being defeated is a look of mild surprise.
In fact, Sephiroth's been made to be a Triumphant Example of this Trope. You will rarely hear him raise his voice or shout (even when he is being struck by a weapon), he never loses his composure, and he will usually have either two looks: an amused smirk or a just a simple frown. Oh, and don't ever expect to see him bleed.
...So when he starts freaking out in Kingdom Hearts II, you know shit's got REAL.

Part of what makes the first game scary is just how calm Phone Guy is about the whole affair, telling you not to worry about being locked in with murderous maybe-supernatural robots, and matter-of-factly explaining your probable horrific death by being stuffed into an animatronic costume. This does not even fully slip when he, with the slightest traces of overworked stress imaginable, explains in his pre-recorded message to you that "it's been a bad night" for him and asks you to maybe sometime check the animatronic costumes in the back on the off-chance that he's still alive by then.

He continues this attitude in Thor: The Dark World. His reaction to the other prisoners getting released by Kurse is basic curiosity, and during the later prison riot, he can be seen calmly reading in his cell (and looking mildly annoyed at the racket they're making). However, Loki, as the God of Lies, is a skilled Master of Illusion, and at different times during this movie, everything from the quality of his clothing to the contents of his cell are shown to be illusions. He also has the power to turn himself invisible and cast an illusion of himself at the same time, so that it appears he's standing somewhere that he isn't. It's possible that he isn't as calm or disinterested in what's going on around him as he appears to be during that scene, especially if he believed, at any point, that the Marauders and the Kursed were working for Thanos.

Many of the eponymous warriors in Claymore, but especially Teresa of the Faint Smile, who is named for her habitual demonstration of the trope. She never gets angry and keeps her slight, Mona-Lisa smile even when ripping an Awakened Being's arm off.
Priscilla's bored facial expression barely changes, even while she's killing Noel and Sophia and ripping off Ilene's arm, or single-handedly wasting Duff, Riful, Alicia and Beth. Emphasized even more in the anime, where she's voiced by the soft-spoken Aya Hisakawa.

Kamen Rider Build: Sento Kiryu is mostly apathetic to everything that doesn't directly involve him or bother him. His answer to a civil war breaking out basically in his backyard is to throw himself into his work and ignore everything around. Don't be fooled, it just hides the insane amount of turmoil going on inside, which usually spills out anyway. He can't keep that attitude up forever.
This applies to Misora Isurugi to a degree too. Yes, she was held in captivity by the terroristic organization. Yes, she was used for their experimentation. Speaking about it as if it was a boring school doesn't mean she is not traumatized and depressed.

Nurse Takano Miyo from Higurashi: When They Cry often talks in a calm, friendly tone about horrible ritualistic murders. Considering that most of the rest of the cast tends to go psychotically Ax-Crazy, her nonchalant attitude sticks out. Especially when she's revealed as the Big Bad and murders the gang in Minagoroshi-hen, whereupon she proceeds to drop the act and laugh like a madwoman, especially in the manga where her face distorts terrifyingly when she wins.

The protagonist of Persona 4, as well, especially with Yosuke (and Chie in the anime) freaking out over the appearance of the Shadows.
In fact, he is almost always so calm, he can get thrown into a waterfall and doesn't even blink or even be bothered to move his body to break the fall.

Brian the Milk Guy in Misfits, doubling with Soft-Spoken Sadist as he calmly and pleasantly tells people how he's controlling the last dairy product they ate to kill or maim them. His slender, baby-faced appearance only adds to the dissonance.

Vampire Princess Miyu: "I will not return you to the darkness... You, I will burn to ashes".
And one short battle involved Miyu against a sexily-clad schoolgirl Shinma with a flute who sported a similar grin.

In Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, Stephen serves as the ultimate DLC Superboss, yet by far has the calmest attitude of any boss in the game. Even after he stands up and fights at full power, he still speaks to you with the same polite tone that he uses when speaking to you in cutscenes.

In Black Butler, the demonic butler Sebastian is a master of Dissonant Serenity.
So is Ciel Phantomhive at certain times. Usually when memories of his abusive past in which his family has been killed, his house burnt down, him being captured, sold off as a slave, branded with a hot iron, tortured, raped and then waited for his turn to be sacrificed as he watched other children being stabbed to death by a cult trying to summon a demon is brought up. He gets silent and displays signs of Tranquil Fury and Dissonant Serenity while he watches the victim who brought up the subject get crushed and murdered brutally with a genuine smile on his face. This also brings about the When She Smiles trope because he is known to be stunningly beautiful when he smiles.

Exalted has an entire martial art style built around this, the White Veil Style. This is so disturbing to opponents and bystanders, that it's actually harder for people to take the fight seriously enough to join in. The fluff on the Form charm describes it thus:

Black Clover: The true Big Bad, Lucius Zogratis is constantly seen with a pleasant smile and a smooth-talking demeanor, contrasting his Dark Triad siblings who are either boisterous crazies out for blood or a Perpetual Frowner. But when he tells Asta that he will kill him as "the world's flaw", he means it and he will go straight into business. The Paladin minions he creates are just as bad in that department, with Sister Lily in particular still acting like she was the old Sister Lily, but her mindset is all rubbed in the wrong directions.

Discussed in The Seventh Bride, a Bluebeard retelling. Rhea, the newest potential bride, asks one of the Bluebeard figure's earlier victims, Maria, how she can calmly make biscuits while everything is horrible and insane. Maria answers that yes, everything is horrible and insane, but a breakdown won't change that and then they'll be hungry. Whereas if she bakes, at least they'll have something to eat.

While granting that like his other murders, it's kind of unclear whether or not it was intentional, the Claw in GUN×SWORD exhibits this strongly in a scene where he deals with a mutinous subordinate. Personality-wise, the Claw is an affable Friend to All Living Things. So, he offers the subordinate a handshake (cue him squeezing the guy's hand hard enough to crack bone). Then, the Claw says that if the guy doesn't want a handshake, how about a hug. Not only is the hug also hard enough that you hear bones breaking, but when the Claw strokes the guy's back with his clawed hand, it's implied (but not shown) that he is ripping open his flesh. Throughout this horrible scene, the Claw is speaking in a gentle voice.

Frankie and Stein has Stein acting this way... a lot. From graverobbing grinningly, to stealing a brain with a grin on his face, to excitedly explaining what he's going to do next half-way through creating his own Frankenstein's Monster with blood all over his face. Only, he's a little more upbeat than serene. This strip, in particular.

Kelly's Heroes has 'Oddball'. He's a 'Proto-Beatnik' (it's only the 1940s) and thrives on 'positive waves'. He also settles down for a picnic deep inside enemy territory while his crew tries to fix their damaged equipment, since "...everybody here seems so friendly." Oh, and did we mention he's the best damn tank commander in the whole division?

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock features Kirk stuck with a Klingon being about as calm as hammy TOS-era Klingons get (as in, shouting monotonically) either because he's in the catbird seat or in some sort of battle trance:
Also telling is that Kurge didn't actively attack Kirk to start their climactic fistfight, the landscape just kind of threw him at Kirk.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Loki in The Avengers rarely, if ever, loses his cool, looking quietly amused even while he attempts to conquer Earth. It's a sign of his impending Villainous Breakdown when he starts showing other emotions in the final battle, going very quickly from a Single Tear when fighting Thor to a full-on A God Am I rant when faced with the Hulk — which ends as well as you would expect.
He continues this attitude in Thor: The Dark World. His reaction to the other prisoners getting released by Kurse is basic curiosity, and during the later prison riot, he can be seen calmly reading in his cell (and looking mildly annoyed at the racket they're making). However, Loki, as the God of Lies, is a skilled Master of Illusion, and at different times during this movie, everything from the quality of his clothing to the contents of his cell are shown to be illusions. He also has the power to turn himself invisible and cast an illusion of himself at the same time, so that it appears he's standing somewhere that he isn't. It's possible that he isn't as calm or disinterested in what's going on around him as he appears to be during that scene, especially if he believed, at any point, that the Marauders and the Kursed were working for Thanos.
In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the titular Soldier first appears toward the end of a car chase. Nick Fury is being chased through downtown DC by mooks in police cars, sirens are wailing, bullets are flying, there are some truly spectacular crashes, and then you see him standing nonchalantly in the middle of a busy street. And then he lazily sidesteps Fury's overturned SUV as it's still flying toward him at traffic speed, missing him by inches. His total lack of self-preservation instincts is an early clue that he's not in control of what he's doing.
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Drax is contemplating a series of ponds that reminds him of his daughter. His face is serene, betraying no emotion, but the empath Mantis begins sobbing after touching him and experiencing what he is feeling.

Dungeons & Dragons: Fourth Edition Monks are portrayed this way, at least in the fluff. Although obviously up to the player on how they act, most powers are described as something along the lines of "floating through the chaotic battle like a leaf on the wind." While, incidentally, executing Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs or simply sending entire enemy groups (or one giant dragon/demon/abomination) flying with a "mere flick of the wrist."

Not uncommon in Smallville, due to kryptonite being everywhere, and there are ones that don't involve kryptonite too.
This is just the start of probably the worst beating Chloe ever got. Lana remains expressionless the entire time. No, they aren't fighting over Clark. Lana is mind controlled by someone who is going to be exposed by Chloe.
Another episode involves Clark and Lionel Luthor switching bodies. In order to lure Lionel-in-Clark's-body back to the prison to reverse the process, they manage to convince him that the change will be permanent if he eliminates his old body. In order to do this, he stages a full-scale prison riot, then walks through the chaos with the most supreme confidence.

Joker himself. Well, at least in Mass Effect, he's dead calm when doing the impossible (with everything on the line). In Mass Effect 2, he's more laid back in such situations, though still pretty stoic. Justified in that, as a pilot, he's trained to maintain emotional self-control and rational thought in intense situations.

In the Forgotten Realms novel The Making of a Mage a resentful Elminster (age 17) witnessed how one magelord summoned and tried to command Dorgon "Stonecloak" Heamiiolothtar, one of few people who hadn't won the office of Magister, but was given it by the gods of magic and who had remained in it longer than anyone save Azuth himself. Dorgon poked "with mild curiosity" the artifact supposed to make him powerless, ascertained that it was a challenge, and teleported through the room and diced half of the magelords and the flunkies present at the party before anyone reached the door. He then disabled, judged and beheaded all of the remaining magelords one by one. All the while wearing much the same expression, ignoring their spells and complaining about their inability to throw something really interesting at him.

Reverend Mord, the host of The Hidden Almanac, maintains the same calm, soothing tones no matter how weird the subject under discussion becomes. His measured deadpan is unaffected by corporate shenanigans, interference by eldritch abominations, or, on one occasion, being set on fire. Although he has a few Berserk Buttons, mostly with regard to disrespect for his garden, he addresses them with barely a change in tone.

Steven Universe:
White Diamond appears quite calm and understanding in the face of seemingly learning one of her "daughters" staged a rebellion against her empire, faked her own assassination, hid away under an assumed identity for 6,000 years, and then up and walked back into her throne room as a half-organic, no less. Almost too calm and understanding. When she finally loses her temper, it's explosive.
White Pearl constantly speaks in a near-emotionless condescending tone, despite the obvious terror of the subjects around her and her mistress. There is a dark truth behind this...
Pink Steven, a hard-light construct of Steven's gem self, shows absolutely no emotions on his face, but screams with so much hatred, rage, and loudness it knocks over White Diamond.

Hao Asakura from Shaman King. Oh, dear god, HAO. He has quite a reputation for having that cheery smile on his face as he slaughters countless lives, especially lesser Shamans, including but not limited to almost all of the "pathetic" X-Laws. He even has his serenity when he does worse to Yoh by pulling out his soul and eating it in the fourth-to-last episode of the anime.
Johann Faust VIII from the same series is also a great example... up until you mess with Eliza.

Samara from the Mass Effect series fits this one: snarky pilot Joker remarks that she could probably shoot him "in a very tranquil way...which does not make me feel any better about it."
The LOKI mechs also count; their calm and polite "please reconsider your aggressive attitude" lines while being set on fire or shot to pieces are actually quite creepy.
Joker himself. Well, at least in Mass Effect, he's dead calm when doing the impossible (with everything on the line). In Mass Effect 2, he's more laid back in such situations, though still pretty stoic. Justified in that, as a pilot, he's trained to maintain emotional self-control and rational thought in intense situations.

Rebuild World:
Akira's Virtual Sidekick Alpha being a Smug Smiler manifests like this since she's often like that in the middle of chaotic and horrible battles. This is because she's a Manipulative Bitch Artificial Intelligence who carefully calculates her every expression to get the desired results. This is to keep up Akira's morale, and to make Akira take things seriously when she does show real concern.
With Sheryl, after reorienting her psyche around Akira during her second Heroic BSoD, she shows this multiple times, at first during a meeting with Shijima that makes him think What the Hell Are You?. On another occasion Sheryl smiles calmly while the room she and her gang are in is being peppered with bullets which reassures them, and she also does this when making threats. This is due to Sheryl resigning herself to die if Akira dies and him being there and supportive; if she's worrying about retaining Akira's support as her Living Emotional Crutch and protector, Sheryl has No Poker Face instead.

Avatar:
Quaritch. While destroying the Na'vi home, killing several Na'vi in the process, he just sits back and sips on his coffee.
A pilot and scientist just went rogue to help two prisoners escape (those are the good guys, by the way.) He pauses just long enough to tell everyone "Masks on" before booting open the atmospherically sealed door, striding into the hangar and opening fire on the fleeing aircraft. After a total of about 45 seconds of taking careful aim, firing, and then looking angry/disappointed that they left, he's finally handed a mask, and it's shown that he was holding his breath the entire time while looking focused, if not placid. Colonel Badass indeed.

In ThunderCats (2011), Eccentric Mentor the Drifter bets The Hero Lion-O that he can't split the willow reed the Drifter holds in his mouth. Lion-O is given three swings of his sword to try. After a very brief facefault when he realizes the finesse-less Lion-O intends to charge him Barbarian Hero style, the Drifter shuts his eyes, smiles, and proceeds to bust out wuxia-level Not Quite Flight Nonchalant Dodges and Dance Battler moves, all while keeping the same expression and delivering taunts in a relaxed, conversational tone, to make a point about Lion-O's lack of swordsmanship.

Many of the inmates in Outlast have a very calm attitude despite the living hell around them. Notable examples are the duo you encounter throughout the game who watch you from a distance calmly discussing that they are going to give you a running start before tearing you apart, and who gets what body part. Also, the doctor who chats with you like a friend even when he is torturing you, cutting off a couple of your fingers, and later chasing you.

Garland Greene from Con Air. He's a deranged serial killer who rarely changes his expression and speaks in a Creepy Monotone (and also a Deadpan Snarker with shades of Affably Evil). The serenity is most contrasting when the plane crashes, and he hilariously sings "He's got the whole world in his hands".

Galaxy Quest: Fred is the inverse of Scotty — he's bizarrely calm (except when trying to use the digital conveyor), as this example demonstrates. It's implied that he's The Stoner (and it's confirmed in a deleted scene), but it makes him the most accepting of the fact that the Thermians defictionalized everything from the show, and even falls in love with one.

Mom and Dad:
After Sun-Yi kills her daughter, Carly and Damon find her nonchalantly cleaning up all the blood.
Just after strangling her daughter, Riley's mom cheerfully says "Hey, kiddo." to Carly.
Brent's dad cheerfully greets Josh after repeatedly stabbing Brent in the stomach in front of him.
Much of the film's humor comes from the fact that the signal doesn't overwrite the parent's personality completely. To quote the AV Club review, "we're not watching mindless ghouls but the same two people [as before], just suddenly preoccupied with butchering their young".
A man on TV who's being interviewed is shown casually talking about having killed his child, with blood still on his hands. Intellectually, he's aware it's wrong, and decries the parents who'd done this like him (as the Hate Plague only causes homicidal impulses against one's own children), but emotionally it seemed right, and he's quite calm about what he did.

Mordecai seems completely unfazed by it, while Viktor is at least managing surprise that the fight happened. Viktor only becomes disturbed at Mordecai's complete indifference and his failed attempts at coming up with a more feasible emotional response. In general, Mordecai has this approach to his more violent work, due to being a sociopath, while Viktor's lack of response is more due to being perpetually grumpy.

There's a sequence early on in Death Note where Light Yagami sets up criminals to die throughout the day. The animation contrasts scenes of prison inmates collapsing and dying of heart attacks, along with the general panic and confusion of the guards and the other inmates, with scenes of Light going about his normal routine, like casually walking through a shaft of sunlight on his way to school, cheerfully playing a game during gym class, and opening a bag of potato chips at lunch. The effect is magnificently creepy.
This becomes a critical fact at one point. While Light is being monitored by cameras from almost every angle, he still manages to write names on a hidden scrap of the Death Note without so much as batting an eyebrow. Even L remarks that Kira has already elevated himself to the level of God if he can knowingly kill people without the slightest change in expression.

For a period during the 2020 pandemic lockdown, Luke attempted "chill" Doom Eternal streams, which meant talking in very calm, measured tones about what Doomguy was doing at the time. This being Doom Eternal "what Doomguy was doing at the time" had around a sixty percent chance of being "beating a demon to death with its own limbs".

They finally decide they've had enough and start cleaning, and as they've just finished cleaning the floor, Charles comes in and throws a wrapper down. They clean it up, then empty the dustpan into Charles' bunk. This sets off a tit-for-tat of dirtying/destroying each other's things, and the whole time, all three are completely calm, even while watching their own stuff get wrecked, doing nothing to interfere.

The townspeople of Harvester tend to be constantly cheerful and upbeat, even when things become increasingly violent and surreal, such as when Steve's mother gently and calmly pushes her infant daughter's eyes back into their sockets after the wasp eggs she's infected with hatch.

Batman: The Animated Series: Poison Ivy always starts off sounding calm and sultry, like a proper, in control noir seductress. The sort've woman who'll playfully flirt with a man as he's restrained by her pet Man-Eating Plant, slinking in close behind to teasingly caress his shoulders while explaining why his friend needed to be fatally poisoned earlier, sensuous tone maintained, like they were two lovebirds on a date. It's only when her Berserk Button concerning plants is triggered that the sexy vampiness falls off and you see the raging murderess Ivy is underneath. This is all perfectly demonstrated in her aptly titled debut episode "Pretty Poison".

The climax of the Kyoto arc in Descendants of Darkness: Tsuzuki has just stabbed Muraki, and called out Touda to burn down the lab. As the place burns and breaks down, he sits there numbly, doing nothing. It takes Hisoka to get him to even consider not staying there to die.

In The Wheel of Time:
Over the course of countless pressures, near-death experiences, sacrifices, and losses and manipulations, Rand Al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, becomes increasingly volatile (and starts Hearing Voices), but in book 12 his Sanity Slippage reaches its zenith when he is briefly captured by Semirhage and almost forced to kill the woman he loves. He slips into this trope for the rest of the book to chilling effect.
Blademasters and others trained in the "Flame and the Void" Meditation Powerup technique default to this state in combat: they suppress their emotions, the better to focus on the battle and instinctively meet any threat.
The final test to become an Aes Sedai demands either this or Tranquil Fury, as the student must demonstrate one hundred difficult Functional Magic weaves in increasingly stressful, dangerous, and degrading situations without ever losing her composure.

In Heat Guy J, there are a few instances in which Clair Leonelli will pull out a weapon or describe something evil and horrible but his voice will remain fairly calm and even, probably to convey that he sees nothing off about his behavior even if everyone else does. As a case in point, his Establishing Character Moment involves him flinging a grenade at his father's grave, and saying quite calmly and cheerfully, "Papa. It's fireworks. You loved them, right?" before breaking into an Evil Laugh.
Itsuki as well, often creeping out Kyon due to his constant smile capable of resisting the possibility of an "End of the World" Special.

Used as a plot point in the second Rush Hour movie. Steven Rayne, a hotel billionaire, is perfectly calm and serene when gunfire erupts on Ricky Tan's yacht. Carter notices this, telling Lee that "when the shooting started, (Rayne) was way too cool." They eventually figure out he's in on the plan to launder fake money and follow him.

Phantom Thief Sai from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro.
The lead Negi Springfield does this during his Unstoppable Rage against Wilhelm.
Seeing Fate Averruncus display anything other than that look of utter calm on his face is so rare as to be unheard of. Even when he's caught completely off-guard (does not happen often) or is losing a fight (happens even less often), his face betrays only the slightest hint of surprise or annoyance.

When a bump in the road sends it from the back of his owners' car, The titular Chameleon from Rango is still smiling blankly as his terrarium shatters on the road and he is left skidding to a halt on a piece of broken glass. Though smiling he may be, it's clear he's still processing the shock of the event.

As does his spiritual predecessor Spock; though being half-human, strong emotions occasionally show through his cool veneer. Most Vulcans are like this — a good example would be Amok Time, where Spock's grandmother and the other Vulcans are pretty chill while watching two people fight to the death.

The characters of A Song of Ice and Fire usually react as one would expect if they had to live in the Crapsack World of Westeros, whether they be commoners, nobility or seasoned warriors. An exception to the rule is resident Magnificent Bastard Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, who remains cheerful and upbeat even when betraying everyone left, right and centre, kicking off bloody civil wars and nonchalantly killing anyone who was no longer of any use to him.
Roose Bolton, Lord of the Dreadfort, is a polite, soft-spoken and unassuming man, as well as the closest thing Westeros has to an Evil Overlord (and a Token Evil Teammate to the Northmen, too). Even when ordering horrible atrocities upon the peasants and prisoners of war, or threatening to cut off his cupbearer's tongue for speaking out of line, he never raises his voice or loses his calm. Bolton believes in purity and self-perfection, practicing a strict health regimen for himself, and seems to be of the mindset that emotions are unnecessary, unlike atrocities.

Shou Kano in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple has a tendency to occasionally laugh cheerfully and apparently without malice while utterly destroying his opponents. Generally, these are the fights that don't really have any personal meaning to him: other fights reveal something more along the lines of a Slasher Smile or at least a businesslike attitude.
Later on, we're introduced to one of the assistant instructors of Diego "Laughing Fist" Carlos, the Meatman, a rather large warrior who was charged with ensuring that a bomb on the ship that several of the characters are riding goes off. When asked what he thinks will happen to HIM when the bomb goes off (by the characters who were trying to disarm it and therefore have to get past him first), he responds that he'll "calmly defeat" them and then run away before the bomb blows up.

Sisterhood Series by Fern Michaels: In the book Collateral Damage, Paula Woodley talks to Lizzie Fox about her husband Karl Woodley. She asks Lizzie if she's being too sadistic, and she says this in the tone of someone discussing the weather. She had been abused by her Domestic Abuser husband for years. No decent person could fault her for wanting to make him pay for that!

The Boys: James Stillwell. As the head of Vought's Superhuman Development division he has a front row seat to all the lunacy and mayhem their superheroes cause but over the entire course of the series never deviates from looking calm, bored, or at worst mildly annoyed. The only indications that he's even capable of even feeling emotion are the fact that he supposedly cheered at his father's funeral and the Villainous Breakdown he suffers at the end of the series upon realizing that superheroes will never be marketable again.

Tohma Seguchi from the Gravitation series is an example of this. Many times during the manga, as the antics of those around him decimate whole sections of Tokyo, Tohma calmly assesses and responds in an eerie calm, only fully losing his temper once in the series upon seeing a re-creation of his best friend's most traumatic moment.

Pokémon
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, you can go fishing in the same area that Kyogre and Groudon are battling.
The player characters of Pokémon Sun and Moon do not have alternate facial expressions outside of pre-rendered cutscenes, which results in them having a vacant, dead-eyed smile no matter how tense or dramatic the situation.

In Mother 3, at the end of the game, once you've reached the very top of the tower, before you face the Final Boss, the happiest, most light-hearted songs from the trilogy play. As for the boss himself, the mastermind behind the Crapsack World your home has become, Porky Minch, he's surprisingly calm and cheerful, despite the bombastic battle themes and the fact that he's now an Omnicidal Maniac.

Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei has two: Oora Kanoko, who is characterized as being a constantly calm, mostly emotionless girl who wears her skirt with the side opening. She even walks through a huge prison fight at a jail, and calmly walks out of the prison during the carnage, with her shivering teacher by her side after freeing him. Second is Kafuka Fuura. She's always smiling. Even when her school is burning down, her father is killing himself, her mother is possessed, and her school is crumbling down. And yet she is still a very small one to Oora.

Futurama: In "Three Hundred Big Boys", Bender's cigar starts a fire in a museum exhibit containing very rare, and flammable, silk tapestries. Soon the whole room is ablaze, with everyone cowering in fear... except for Fry, who spent the whole episode drinking coffee (spending his $300 rebate on 100 cups of coffee). He drinks the last of the 100 cups and turns from a gibbering mess into a paragon of peace and serenity. He is able to put out all of the fires and rescue everyone while moving in extreme fast motion (Leela would later attest to seeing only a bright, orange blur).

In some works, Luke tends towards this. Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor has a notable example; his voice in the midst of an emergency is described as "preternaturally calm". Mara Jade directly points it out in Heir to the Empire , when he's been Brought Down to Normal — no Force skills to draw on, no weapons, unknown hostile world, Imperials trying to find him, wild animals after him, and Mara herself wanting him dead, and far from being wired with adrenaline he's maddeningly serene to the point of being able to fall asleep — though he's still very quick-witted, observant, and far from helpless.
Probably justified because using the light side of the Force requires one to be calm and collected; if Luke couldn't hold it together in stressful situations he'd risk tapping into the dark side.

From Code Geass, I give you Schneizel. Seemingly a kindly, reasonable fellow, greatly different from his siblings, he maintains a calm, serene demeanor throughout the entire series. He continues to have this serene manner even while ordering the deaths of millions, announcing to his sister his plans for global domination, and gunning that sister down when she tried to stop him from nuking every major city on the planet, killing billions. What's that about reasonable again?
Rolo fits this trope, as well. In one sequence, he greeted some childhood friends with a warm smile before slaughtering them mercilessly.

Jonah in The Bible, with the boat he's on going through a storm and the pagan crewmen about him frantically praying to their deities... is asleep. So, pretty old trope eh?
So was Jesus, one of the times they were crossing the Sea of Galilee. Another time he was so zen he was able to Walk on Water.
Luke and John portray Jesus like this even during his own crucifixion. Mark and Matthew portray him as less composed, asking at one point "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

After the carnage in The Gallows, the police find Alexis calmly combing Pfeifer's hair: the two of them staring off into space with eerily calm expressions on their faces.

The Amazing World of Gumball:
"The Check": During Anais's Imagine Spot of living in the forest, Mr. Small is blissfully smiling while being chased by an angry raccoon.
"The Stink": Gumball's tone of voice is awfully chipper while saying that he and Darwin might have to identify their teacher's dead body in the forest.

Right before the shooting scene in Targets, Bobby Thompson settles in on top of the water tower, drinking a soda and eating a sandwich, acting like absolutely nothing is out of the ordinary. Then he sets up his rifle and begins shooting people at random.

7 Seeds: So the Final Test is upon the candidates who want to be chosen to be sent to the future, which includes cutting them off from previous comforts like running water, gas and even the dorms they have seen as a home, with the likely consequences that people will die? All Ayu has to say about this is that it's good since things will be finally decided upon properly, with a sweet smile on her face.

Neverwinter Nights does not possess the capacity for characters to change their facial expression. So people in combat and close to death have exactly the same expression as people sitting in a garden eating breakfast. The voices and the music do change in combat, though.

In If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, Magnus' only reaction to a few thousand Inquisitors facing him is annoyance that someone forgot to close the door and let the crazy people in, the "door" in question being Eternity Gate, capable of withstanding most of what humanity can throw at them. It's also justified in that he's a Daemon Primarch, and when he finally gets tired of all the Inquisitorial blustering, he casually banishes the entire group to the setting's equivalent of Hell with a single wave of a hand.

Tokino Sora of hololive is famous in VTuber circles for what she calls "sub-par reactions" to scares whenever she streams a horror game. Where her peers might be screaming their heads off, she will be giving dull acknowledgement. She even claims to her audience that she usually goes to sleep to horror streams.

Game of Thrones:
Daenerys often affects this demeanor while holding court as part of her attempt to be The High Queen, complete with a Creepy Monotone, and, if you're really unlucky, a polite half-smile.
Sansa maintains courtesy as her armor throughout her stay in King's Landing. Her composure despite her obvious discomfort provides the final straw that convinces Tyrion not to exercise his Marital Rape License.
This is one of the most obvious symptoms of Arya's increasingly unsettling coldbloodedness.
Rather than a frenzied fanatic, Melisandre is always poised and eerily calm.
Selyse Baratheon is overjoyed by the human sacrifice of her own brother for nonconformity because his sins have been "burned away." Watch her facial expression closely when Mance Rayder is being burned alive. She gleefully smiles.
Cersei steps calmly and daintily past the dismembered corpses of the prisoners Ser Gregor Clegane has just executed to welcome him back to the capital in "Mockingbird".
Roose suggests torture and execution in the same tone that most people would suggest grabbing a bite to eat, as though such a thing were second nature to him. Then you realize that his sigil is a skinless corpse.
A particularly disturbing one happens in Season 4: at the end of Tyrion's trial by combat, Cersei's champion the Mountain crushes Prince Oberyn's head into a bloody pulp all the while boasting how he raped and murdered his sister before killing her children. Pan to Cersei, who looks as happy she ever does.
After Tommen's body — in a rare moment of Gory Discretion Shot, to boot — is shown to Cersei, she doesn't show much of a reaction, making it one of her most disturbing moments in the series.
On the bridge where Euron kills Balon, contrast their opposing stances. Balon is trying to hang on for dear life to make sure the storm does not throw him off it, Euron on the other hand just calmly stands on the madly-shaking bridge with his hands mellowly clasped together. It is eerie to watch and a further testament to Euron's total lack of sanity.

Captain Miller, in Saving Private Ryan, is astonishingly calm during moments of phenomenal stress, i.e., the Normandy Landings. The problem is, his jitters catch up with him later; No matter how calm he may appear, Miller is a man on the ragged edge who knows he's right on the point of losing it. Ironically, this lends him the serenity he needs to be a Father to His Men.

Dorian Gray in the live-action adaptation of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. When The Phantom's soldiers begin wrecking his house, he strides calmly through the firefight, looking utterly bored as he stabs people left and right. When one of the soldiers fills his entire torso with lead, he just stands there, takes a deep breath, and then cuts off the guy's breastplate and stabs him. As soon as the guy falls, he takes the handkerchief out of his breast pocket, wipes the sword clean with it, and puts it back in a dignified manner.

The Dark Crystal:
The urRu. When the Skeksis Chamberlain's hand is stabbed, his urRu counterpart says unemotionally, "So, my hand," when a deep gash appears in it. When one of them is consumed by fire, the urRu consumed by flames doesn't even murmur in the slightest, and the others glance but continue on unemotionally. This is justified in that they're a species of Literal Split Personality; they're the peaceful and passive components of the original urSkeks, and live in a perpetual half-dreaming state.
Jen himself when the castle is crumbling. He doesn't care about the danger of it coming down on him; he merely sits with Kira's corpse and mourns.

In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the Cobra Unit each used a codename taken from the emotions people feel on the battlefield. Thus, The Pain, The Fury, The Sorrow, The End. What was The Boss's codename? The Joy. She does stay relatively calm throughout, too, even as she knows she'll die.
Interesting case. Although The Joy remains relatively calm, she is not shown smiling through much of the game. The Sorrow, on the other hand, is rarely seen unhappy, even as he's sending the ghosts of everyone you killed after you.

Warhammer 40,000:
The majority of the setting's factions are ALWAYS SHOUTING! ALL THE TIME! As a result, the factions who go into battle in silence — the more restrained Eldar, the mostly-silent Necrons, and the Tyranids, who communicate telepathically — are often perceived as highly unnerving by the the others.
The Order of the Sacred Rose are a sub-faction of the Sisters Of Battle; given the religious zealotry that defines the Sisters, they tend to be depicted as Screaming Warriors. The Sacred Rose, however, are typified by their extremely calm, peaceful demeanor, even as they're engaged in bloody, horrific combat. The combination of perfect serenity and the atrocities the Sisters commit can be... disturbing.
Part of Lorgar's corruption by Chaos was a certain blasé attitude when it came to the nightmarish things that tend to happen as soon as Chaos gets involved.

Additionally, the end of the "Meet the Sandvich" trailer has the Heavy standing on a ledge and eating the eponymous sandwich while battle rages around him.
Most of the Spy's Man on Fire soundbites, "I appear to have burst into flames," and "I do believe I'm on fire", are delivered far more coolly than the panicked cries and screams of most of the other classes'.
One of Medic's taunts involves him playing his bonesaw like a violin. In the middle of a chaotic battlefield.
"Meet The Pyro" shows that the Pyro views the world as a Sugar Bowl, and spreads rainbows and happiness. In reality, the Pyro is torching everything and everyone in sight.

She gets her own way, but threatens to do it anyway, insisting "I can fly." Okay, sure, crazy lady.

In the Umi-Bozu arc of Mononoke, each of the characters, in turn, are shown illusions of their worst fears. After screaming, crying, collapsing and a character throwing up over the edge of the ship, it's the Medicine Seller's turn... and we're treated to a scene of him dissolving into nothingness. Outside of staring at his hands as they disappear, he has no reaction, but quietly closes his eyes and waits for it to finish.
The Medicine Seller actually does this quite a bit — given the things he dedicates his life to hunting are eldritch monsters and people are occasionally slaughtered graphically right in front of him, he has very little emotion to offer. Comparing the earlier example to his common behavior suggests he's not as unaffected as he seems — after the illusion ends, we're treated to a camera shot that lingers on his tightly-clenched hands.

Nagito Komaeda is the reigning king of this trope in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair to intermittently calming, tragic and disturbing effect. Even when people are dying, Nagito stays calm and cheerful. It really says something about how Nagito experiences and understands the world when he has a greater emotional response to Hajime giving him a board game won from a slot machine than telling Hajime that he saw his parents die in front of him as a child, he expects to die any day now due to being terminally ill, and has accepted too late that the personal philosophy he has developed to cope with this means that he is going to die unloved and alone. Nothing big.

Invoked in The Zombie Knight. Hector is far too shy to shout and snarl in typical action-hero fashion, so instead, Garovel teaches him to unnerve people by speaking in whispers and being incongruously polite.

Doctor Who:
The Daleks have one emotion (anger), but all that's left of the Cybermen is pure logic.
The Doctor himself applies as well, especially the Tenth and Eleventh ones. You know he's mad when he starts yelling and screaming, but when he gets quiet again you know it's time to be scared.
"Horror of Fang Rock" has a famous example:
"The Family of Blood": Son of Mine keeps up his shit-eating grin after being frozen in time, and recounts his family's Fates Worse than Death very stoically.
The Host from "Voyage of the Damned": Information: Kill. Kill. Kill.
Series 6 offers both the Antibodies ("You will experience a tingling sensation and then death") and the robots in the Two Streams hospital ("This is a kindness.") Basically, evil robots in the Whoniverse are either absolute monotone or this. No, the Daleks don't count; they're not robots.
In "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", after learning the fate of the Silurians who built the spaceship, the Doctor informs the space pirate responsible that he's not going to rescue him from the oncoming missiles. When the villain begs for his life, the Doctor's response?

T.K. has a touch of this in Digimon Adventure 02. Normally his reaction to seeing Digimon attacked or manipulated by evil is outright anger and fury (a result of the childhood trauma of watching his own Digimon die), but in his confrontation with the Digimon Emperor, he suddenly gains a strange Dissonant Serenity and calm smile, while catching a whip in his bare hand and turning Crusader From Hell on everyone.

This trope is DEFCON's bread and butter. As all of civilization is destroyed in a nuclear war, the player watches things unfold through a tactical computer depicting the carnage through simple wireframe models and numbers. This is accompanied by quiet piano music.

Johan in Monster is this trope. To the most frightening degrees possible. Those moments when he doesn't have that expression end up equally terrifying.
We're not kidding. Is this◊ how you're supposed to look after you KILL PEOPLE?!◊
This is seen as early as episode 4, where Johan's monotone manner of speech stands in stark contrast to the situation, and he follows his execution of Junkers by approaching Tenma with a grateful smile.

To a certain extent, Hisoka in Hunter × Hunter.
Even more so, Chrollo. Being a nihilist that is not afraid to die, his heartbeat wouldn't change even in the slightest when kidnapped by Kurapika to be used as a bargaining chip for saving Gon and Killua from the Genei Ryodan.
Shalnark blurs the line between this and Psychopathic Manchild. He sees the people he manipulates as toys and expresses childlike disappointment when they get killed.

Loki in The Avengers rarely, if ever, loses his cool, looking quietly amused even while he attempts to conquer Earth. It's a sign of his impending Villainous Breakdown when he starts showing other emotions in the final battle, going very quickly from a Single Tear when fighting Thor to a full-on A God Am I rant when faced with the Hulk — which ends as well as you would expect.

The little girl in Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County is disturbingly unemotional, considering that aliens are abducting/killing everyone in her family. In the end, she is so blasé about the whole thing that not only does she let the aliens into the house, but she is the only one seen going with them willingly as opposed to the others, who are all put into trances.

While nearly every character in Blue Velvet regards Frank Booth with fear whenever he's around, with even his lackeys sometimes feeling uncomfortable with him, his associate Ben is so unfazed by his extreme mood swings that he spends most of his screentime appearing on the verge of sleep. Frank finds his calmness very cool, calling him "one suave fucker". Ben's actor Dean Stockwell confirmed that he played him as being a heroin junkie.

Ladd's girlfriend Lua always has a perpetually vacant smile on her face, despite her lover's frequent promises to murder her.
Elmer's been through a lot and is a crowning example of this trope.

Tofu from Super Minion. He doesn't really have much of a panic response beyond trying to solve whatever problem is threatening him. Unusually, his allies actually tend to find this reassuring rather than creepy. Amusingly, early on he gets into a fight with a human and gets confused when he injures them and they collapse screaming, since he can't figure out what they were trying to accomplish. What nobody finds reassuring as that he's just as calm and matter-of-fact when he's threatening to kill someone.

In Nomine:
Elohim maintain their calm, collected and detached façades at all times, including when performing actions that others would find upsetting; an Elohite will display no more emotion when smothering a man to death than when pouring themselves a coffee. Other angels find this extremely unsettling.
The Demon Prince Vapula is consistently calm and soft-spoken, even when very angry or about to perform an atrocity in his lab. He remains patient and composed around damned experimental subjects and screwup Servitors, smiling encouragingly even as he straps them down to the experimental table.

In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the titular Soldier first appears toward the end of a car chase. Nick Fury is being chased through downtown DC by mooks in police cars, sirens are wailing, bullets are flying, there are some truly spectacular crashes, and then you see him standing nonchalantly in the middle of a busy street. And then he lazily sidesteps Fury's overturned SUV as it's still flying toward him at traffic speed, missing him by inches. His total lack of self-preservation instincts is an early clue that he's not in control of what he's doing.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba:
Rui's Soft-Spoken Sadist routine barely cracks no matter the pain he's inflicting. It's only very late in the fight that his tone starts to crack.
On the more heroic side, Shinobu Kocho's smile and gentle tone don't falter as she interrogates and kills Older Sister. It's more than a little unnerving.

Most of the time, their battles are non-lethal. They fight to prove their superiority and defend their homes, not to kill, which even in battle is considered outright murder. When a cat accidentally dies during a border skirmish it is a huge deal. When a life-or-death battle actually happens, they are much more serious about it.
Sol stays calm and composed all the time, even when surrounded by enemies and accused of murder. He is so calm, other cats often find it unsettling. The only times he's lost his cool is whenever he's making a speech (and he's really more "incensed" than angry), and when Hollyleaf apparently pushes his Berserk Button, he recovers in less than half a second.

In Ghost Master, the Unearthly Calm power, initially wielded by Fingers and Daydreamer, can make everyone around feel this, disregarding their mental state. This ability is very useful in the later game, where the scared and/or psychotic people can be scared even more for extra points, but you don't want them to run away too soon.
Sometimes this power plays a plot-related role where the puzzles are solved by leading specific people to specific places, but you still need to scare them as much as possible and the least what you want is for them to run away. It can also be used to make people calmly visit the little island where Blair Wisp lives, since every time they try to walk there on their own, they're scared away by the creepy grave located there.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
In the finale of Season 5, Dawn realizes that she is going to be sacrificed in a ritual to open up a portal and bring about an apocalypse; she responds by calmly folding her clothing and placing it on a chair, in case that is the only thing left of her after the ritual is done.
In "Lie to Me" Buffy is placing flowers on the grave of a New Old Flame who'd been killed by vampires. The boy then bursts out of the grave as a vampire, whereupon Buffy coldly stakes him without changing expression.

Grove from Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, when he does that spirit attack thing. In his case, it can be justified: When not in his spirit form, Grove is immensely weak and bedridden; using the power nearly kills him every time, but he's free from his crippled body while it's active.

Star Wars Legends:
Mace Windu in Shatterpoint. "I don't like Windu... he has the same look cleaning his weapons as he does using them."
In some works, Luke tends towards this. Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor has a notable example; his voice in the midst of an emergency is described as "preternaturally calm". Mara Jade directly points it out in Heir to the Empire , when he's been Brought Down to Normal — no Force skills to draw on, no weapons, unknown hostile world, Imperials trying to find him, wild animals after him, and Mara herself wanting him dead, and far from being wired with adrenaline he's maddeningly serene to the point of being able to fall asleep — though he's still very quick-witted, observant, and far from helpless.
Probably justified because using the light side of the Force requires one to be calm and collected; if Luke couldn't hold it together in stressful situations he'd risk tapping into the dark side.
Jedi training actively encourages being calm and collected to the point of being effectively emotionless at all times, no matter how serious and stressful a situation the Jedi finds themselves in. Jedi who fail to act like this are either apprentices, on the way to the Dark Side, or both. This attitude tends to unnerve and annoy nonForce Users when around a Jedi.
In Galaxy of Fear, the shapeshifting Hoole just frowns in concentration while wrestling with the controls of a crashing ship. He's that calm and steady when tossing his endangered niece and nephew something that will help. He's less calm in day-to-day dealings with them, not being a fan of children.

The Diclonii from Elfen Lied are masters of this, especially Lucy. The anime opens with her calmly walking through a high-security military unit, stark naked but for a large metal helmet, gently humming to herself whilst hideously ripping apart and mutilating dozens of soldiers. But, this is after all the breaking they have endured, so calling their emotions this is fearsome.

From Joss Whedon's Firefly:
River Tam displayed this trait in a few episodes. But then, she was batshit, so that is also to be expected.
A more typical example is Wash, at least as long as he's piloting; check out the scene in the pilot episode when the Reavers are chasing them: he's the only one in the entire ship who's completely calm. Wash's dissonance works both ways: He's very calm when, say, he's being chased by Reavers or has to pull off some crazy-ass aerial stunt, but he acts panicked when things really aren't that bad. It was originally planned to be a deadly serious type of calm, but it just wasn't compatible with Alan Tudyk. So, he gets very calm while still retaining his wisecracking tendencies instead.

In Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues, this is one way that Ivy reacts to terrifying situations- the other being panic- due to being so overwhelmed that she goes into a minor Heroic BSoD. When she was accused of being a ghost, she smiled at the accuser. When a car fell from the sky just meters away from her own vehicle, she calmly asked Finn to drop her off.

In Spec Ops: The Line, you can use this to tell when Capt. Walker snaps. After he and his men inadvertently do A Bad Thing, his two soldiers are screaming at each other in the background, but Walker merely stares at the results for a long moment, shuts his eyes, then calmly declares "We need to keep moving." For the rest of the game, even as Walker's in-combat quotes become more and more unhinged, he still speaks with calm assurance when it comes to completing his mission.
In the epilogue, after days of constant fighting and unspeakable mental trauma, Walker greets a rescue team with dead silence, a stony face, and hollow eyes. Even if he gets involved in one last firefight, his demeanor does not change in the slightest, and at most he grunts in pain if he gets hit.

For a period during the 2020 pandemic lockdown, Luke attempted "chill" Doom Eternal streams, which meant talking in very calm, measured tones about what Doomguy was doing at the time.

Breaking Bad:
Todd Alquist is always the very picture of calm and personable, whether he's having a friendly conversation with you or shooting you in the back of the head. This is best exemplified in El Camino, as he happily sings along with the radio and tries to get a truck to honk its horn while his meth slave and the body of his housekeeper are in the back of his car.
Gus Fring has this eerie level of calmness that he exerts at all times, even when he's visibly furious. His striding out into the open and not flinching even while a sniper is firing bullets at his feet is described by Jesse as "Terminator shit". It even accompanies him into death, as after having the right half of his face blown off by Walt's bomb, Gus steps out into the hallway and casually straightens his tie before collapsing.

Chara experiences something similar towards the end of you can only use your own. On the morning of the attempt to break the Barrier, during which they plan to commit suicide, they muse on how odd it is that they're feeling completely calm even though they were terrified leading up to both of their past suicide attempts. While nobody else notices the dissonance because nobody else knows they're planning to kill themself, they do manage to unnerve themself a bit.

BlazBlue features a young boy named Carl Clover, whose profession is as a bounty hunter. He is accompanied by his "sister", a semi-sentient doll/bio-cyber weapon which has long, sharp claws and is fueled by Carl's subconscious hate and desire to kill. Carl lets his courteous manners and innocent smile slip on a single occasion — namely, when Haku-men fills him in on this.
That doll, Nirvana really is his sister. Gotta love alchemical experiments. Cleverly, the game initially implies that Nirvana (the doll) is driving Carl to his madness. Then Valkenhayn talks to Nirvana, and it's revealed that Carl's insanity is hurting her. Meep.
Carl may have inherited this from his father, Relius Clover, who is similarly polite and frequently smiling, holding easy if somewhat one-sided conversations while putting down enemies, rummaging through peoples' heads, conducting inhumane experiments or off-handedly trying to kill Carl.

In The Matrix films, various characters wear completely blank expressions while fighting, often further emphasized by impenetrable sunglasses.

When Tsuruya is almost thrown out of a school window to her death by one of Kyon's classmate in Kyon: Big Damn Hero, Kyon dangles him out of a window by the ankle and interrogates him, while making Shout Outs to The Dark Knight, among others.

In Thunderball, Largo calmly glances at a SPECTRE henchman being electrocuted by Blofeld, then goes back to looking through his notes with a slightly bored expression throughout. It's possible Largo has been accustomed to seeing his fellow henchmen getting killed by Blofeld for incompetence or insubordination, as he is a Bad Boss like Number One.

In Inception, when the dream is collapsing and everyone else is running around frantically, what does Mal do? She calmly walks through the destruction and is amused at how Dom gave Saito the wrong documents.

In Full Metal Panic!, this was a defining trait of Sousuke's beautiful mother's death. When she was falling to her death, her face never showed a hint of terror or despair, and she calmly accepted her fate. Kalinin recalls from that instance that she was "surreally beautiful." Interestingly enough, this trait was apparently inherited by her son. As numerous instances afterward, Sousuke has been described in very similar terms as being "surreally beautiful" the way he calmly massacres people.

Kirika from Noir: from beginning to end, she never displays anything other than calm concentration while killing hundreds of people.
Altena also qualifies, and her creepy-ass village of Noir worshippers/sacrificial lambs that suddenly pull out guns and start killing elite members of the Soldats could also qualify.

In Sheep's Clothing, Doc is able to have a fairly calm conversation about his new-found belief in vampires maybe an hour after he gets his proof in the form of one of them almost tearing his throat out. Justified here in that he is still in shock and probably a little drunk.

Super Smash Bros.:
Wii Fit Trainer spouts during battle the same motivational lines she says in Wii Fit while savagely beating up her opponents with yoga poses, adding to her whole Fighting Clown style.
Even while in battle, the Villager keeps his signature cheery smile almost at all times. Depending on the point of view, it's either hilarious or unnerving.
Pac-Man is almost always happily moving around the stage with his huge smile, whether he's smashing his opponents or drowning in the water.

Data of Star Trek: The Next Generation displays this as part of his very nature. Despite regularly being in life-threatening situations, he is almost always calm and detached. Justified because he's an android and wasn't programmed to feel emotions — he has to learn about them from others.
Less so in Star Trek: Generations after he activates his emotion chip:
As does his spiritual predecessor Spock; though being half-human, strong emotions occasionally show through his cool veneer. Most Vulcans are like this — a good example would be Amok Time, where Spock's grandmother and the other Vulcans are pretty chill while watching two people fight to the death.
The Female Changeling in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine maintains a calm demeanor throughout the series. Her serene facade cracks in the final episode.
Also in Deep Space Nine, Garak is capable of being a very unnerving fellow just by continuing to be the jokey, somewhat snarky tailor in situations of life and death. Federation characters wrestle with their consciences about murder, and even hardened Bajoran Resistance fighter Kira Nerys has reservations in many cases, but Garak can plot your death and take steps to bring it about with cheerful, casual indifference. At one point he guns down a fellow Cardassian with a mild, "Pity, I rather liked him." Notably, this is him after he lost his taste for torture due to the events of "The Wire". Back with the Obsidian Order, he would have been terrifying.
His former boss once remarked he got a man to confess to a crime by sitting in a room and just gazing at him for four hours. The accused walked away traumatized.

The Butcher Boy: As his sanity slips with each chapter, Francie is disturbingly chirpy and cheerful. His playful pranks begin to advance into more destructive and menacing behavior. It concludes with him killing Mrs Nugent.
