Heartwarming in Hindsight	comment	Some event happens in a work, and then a later event, in either another work or Real Life (often through Reality Subtext or Life Imitates Art), comes along and makes that first event give you warm and fuzzy feelings. Even if it was already meant to be heartwarming, this makes it even more so. Compare Heartwarming Moments (which are heartwarming upon first watching), Hilarious in Hindsight (where something is funnier or more relevant because of future events), and/or Fridge Brilliance. Contrast Harsher in Hindsight (where something funny/lighthearted or dramatic/sad becomes worse because of future events). IMPORTANT: Do not include examples that are Foreshadowing, nor moments that came just a handful of episodes later. Those are clearly intended heartwarming moments later in the same work.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_10ac4dcb	comment	Transparent featured a flashback to the birth of Maura Pfefferman, the titular trans parent, where her father assumes he's having a daughter and states that fathers have a way of knowing about this. The scene becomes rather sweet in retrospect when the fourth season has Maura reunite with her father in the present day and he is shown to be accepting of Maura being trans.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_11e72865	comment	In the British film Victim (1961), Dirk Bogarde plays a homosexual barrister who decides to fight criminals blackmailing gay men (blackmailing homosexuals with threats of revealing their true inclination was common in the era when homosexuality was still a crime). Bogarde, who at the time was a major star in British cinema, took a big risk by accepting the lead role in this pro-gay movie, since in Britain in 1961 homosexuality was illegal and carried a significant social stigma. It wasn't common knowledge at the time, but it's been later revealed that Bogarde himself was gay. Seeing Victim with this knowledge, knowing how personally Bogarde must have felt his role, certainly adds an extra level of heartwarming to the movie.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_15174a2a	comment	In Your Father and Mine, France immediately embracing Louisiana and gushing over her beauty and sweetness is a cute and funny scene, yet it becomes somewhat poignant with The Reveal that she's actually the second Louisiana. Her mother was America's wife and France's former colony, who never was found by the latter and mistakenly believed he didn't care about her. But as proven by France's reaction to little Louisiana, his granddaughter, she was wrong — he would have loved her with all his heart.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_2172e43f	comment	The effect gets magnified - Origins was the third game released in the series, though it was a prequel to the previous games, and the cops are enemies for Batman, collectively just as interested as the traditional supervillains of Batman's rogues gallery in the 50 million dollar bounty on Batman's head. The Gotham SWAT team even starts gearing up and going rogue to hunt Batman on their own. In the fourth, Batman: Arkham Knight, set roughly eight to ten years after Origins, it's not just that the police willingly work beside Batman, they are now a strong, competent, and above all, clean organization - the worst cop among them is a singular one who acted as an informant for Riddler, with all others being ready and willing to defend Gotham against a massive terrorist threat from Scarecrow that prompted the evacuation of the entire city. All those who remained were volunteers. Even more, the reason that worst cop was aiding the Riddler? He felt SORRY for Edward Nygma, whose mental state has clearly unraveled over the course of the series, and eventually, his questline in this game ends up with him occasionally having a Freudian slip about his father while fighting Batman. It's a far cry from the cops in Origins who were rounding up hobos to make them fight for scraps while the police bet on the winner.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Season 1's "Homer's Night Out" depicts Princess Kashmir as a somewhat downtrodden who has to dance at stag parties and strip clubs on the side. Several later episodes depict her in celebrity gatherings, implying that life did pick up for her afterwards. In Season 2's "Bart Gets An 'F'", Mrs. Krabappel is amazed by Bart's knowledge of George Washington surrendering to the French in 1754 that she raises his grade from "F" to "D-" meaning he barely passes. Future episodes ("Homer vs. Dignity", "Sleeping With The Enemy") show that Bart actually does have talent after all. In Season 6's "Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy", Homer has a flashback to his childhood showing him imitating President Kennedy, with his mother Mona saying "Oh, Abe, maybe our Homer could grow up to be President some day...", only to have Abe put him down. In "Bart To The Future", we see that in the distant future, Homer's daughter Lisa has since become the President, the exact dream Abe discouraged Homer from achieving. Given Homer's determination to encourage his children as his father never encouraged him... In Season 12's ""Worst Episode Ever", jokes are made about Comic Book Guy's single status, when Dr. Hibbert comments after he has a heart attack that the job of running a comic book store is something he'd call "The Professional Widowmaker" except the owners are never married. Flashforward to Season 25's "Married to the Blob" and Comic Book Guy does end up Happily Married. In Season 20's "Eeny Teeny Maya Moe", Homer points out to Moe that even though things didn't work out between him and Maya, he should be happy that a woman actually loved him and remain hopeful that he will find love again. 13 years later, in "The Wayz We Were", Moe and Maya do get back together!

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_3e374b30	comment	In The Dark Knight Rises, Batman says to Commissioner Gordon that anyone can be a hero, even doing something as simple as putting a coat around a boy's arms and assuring him that it's not the end of the world. In the film, it was a Call-Back to Batman Begins to the flashback where Gordon put a coat on young Bruce and tries to comfort him after his parents were murdered and it was used to tell Gordon who Batman was. It became even more heartwarming after the tragic Aurora, Colorado theater shooting (where the theater was playing that film) when Christian Bale visited the victims unannounced on his own money and time.

Harry feels some regret in that it was not a Knight of the Cross, and he believes it might have been caused by some of his earlier bad choices. Eight books later, Butters becomes the newest Knight of the Cross, and Uriel confirms to Harry that, yes, they sent Butters (an incipient Knight) to help him against Cassius (a former Denarian). Every time Ebenezar McCoy protects Harry, and every interaction between them, gets ten times sweeter when it's revealed in Changes that, unknown to Harry, they're not just master and apprentice; Ebenezar is his maternal grandfather. In the short story "Love Hurts," Harry and Murphy get whammied with a love spell. Having already gone through quite a lot of UST, they're at first relieved, even when they finally realize what's happened, but make the decision to break the spell for the sake of everyone else. Several (in- and out of universe) years of Will They or Won't They? later, in Skin Game, they got together even without the spell.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_6744d821	comment	The Owl House In the first episode, Eda asks Luz to help her steal a paper crown for King because he's the only family she has and it makes him happy. King returns the favor in the first season finale where he says he's going with Luz to rescue Eda because she's family to him. To take it further, in "Eda's Requiem", King announces he wants to take Eda's last name officially since she raised him and has been a great mother figure while sending a message on social media to his father. Amity starts being friends with Luz when the latter lends her book five of Azura as an apology for accidentally reading her diary. As of "Enchanting Grom Fight" there are hints that this actually started a Rescue Romance when Luz risked her life to save Amity from a corrupted Otabin. Amity also admits that she knows Luz doesn't mean to cause trouble, she just gets in over her head, which is what she loves- no HATES, HATES about the human. Later on, she declares it is her turn to save Luz when Luz enters a Deal with the Devil with Odalia Blight to help her friends return to Hexside. Amity not only stands up to her mother but also declares that Luz is under her protection, and anyone who has a problem with that can deal with her. Luz saves King and Eda in the first episode from the creepy, horny Warden. Later on, in Season 2 when Luz is undergoing a Heroic BSoD and declares it's her fault that Eda lost her powers, Eda snaps her out of it. She starts her You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech by pointing out that Luz rescued her first, and they're in this mess together as a family. Late in season 1, it's revealed that there is someone impersonating Luz back on Earth, having sent creepy letters to her mother about how much she's enjoying the camp and how she can't wait to come home and spend time with her. Then in season 2, it turns out those letters weren't creepy; Luz's impersonator, Vee, is a basilisk that escaped imprisonment and found life on Earth to be much better, and the letters she sent to Luz's mother were genuine. A few months after Hunter's debut, a selection of fans started shipping him with Willow (among other characters) and writing fanfiction in which the two interact. In the episode "Any Sport in a Storm", they officially meet and become friends.

Mulder points out that it's not too late, that all Scully needed to do was find someone with a "spotless genetic makeup and a really high tolerance for being second-guessed" and start having babies. Scully shoots back by asking about his family. Mulder jokes that aside from needing glasses and getting abducted by aliens involved in government conspiracies, the Mulder family "passes genetic muster." Three years later, Scully would ask Mulder to be the father of her child in an IVF attempt (which ultimately failed), and they would go on to have Baby William (assumed naturally). This conversation can also be seen as Harsher in Hindsight since it takes place right before Scully learns that she is barren as the result of her abduction in season two, and a year before she loses a child that was conceived from the eggs stolen during the abduction.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_6c2c4bf3	comment	X-Men Film Series: X-Men: Professor X tells Logan, "I give you my word that I will use all my power to help you piece together what you've lost, and what you're looking for." Wolverine doesn't know it yet, but what he's truly looking for is right in front of him. As X-Men: Days of Future Past demonstrates, Xavier is the person who gives meaning to Logan's existence; the "master" to his "samurai," so to speak. This is especially true in the Alternate Timeline, where Wolverine has settled down as a history teacher at Charles' school and is genuinely happy—probably the happiest we've seen him in the entire film franchise. Days of Future Past makes it clear that it's Xavier — and not Jean Grey, as The Wolverine might have you believe — who is the most significant figure in Logan's life during his post-amnesia years. X2: X-Men United: An imprisoned Magneto warmly greets Professor X with, "Charles Xavier, have you come to rescue me?" As it turns out, Charles did indeed rescue Erik Lehnsherr from drowning in X-Men: First Class, and this is how their friendship began. Despite the danger Erik was in 1962, both men still look back on the memory with some fondness. X-Men: The Last Stand: Professor X reassuring Beast that "You are always welcome here. You are a part of this place" becomes that much sweeter when you take into account their close relationship in X-Men: Days of Future Past. In between 1963 and 1973, Charles and Hank were each other's Only Friend after the former was forced to close his newly budding school due to The Vietnam War draft. Xavier then fell into a deep depression that was further worsened by his alcoholism, and McCoy did his best to try to take care of his former mentor. They eventually became Heterosexual Life-Partners, so Beast isn't just a good friend to the Professor; he's family. Hank also mentions to Logan that both he and Charles had built the school and the labs, so McCoy is just as essential as Xavier in the formation of the X-Men. X-Men: First Class: Raven angrily tells her brother, "You know, Charles, I used to think it was gonna be you and me against the world. But no matter how bad the world gets, you don't wanna be against it, do you? You want to be a part of it." By the end of X-Men: Apocalypse, they are both members of the X-Men, and they're facing the world's threats together. Foster siblings for the win! X-Men: Days of Future Past: McCoy asks Charles near the end, "Are you sure you should've let them [Magneto and Mystique] go?", and Xavier's reply is, "I have hope for them. There's going to be a time, Hank, when we're all together." He's half-right because Raven does come home to him in X-Men: Apocalypse as his team's Number Two. Although Erik doesn't stay after he helps Jean to rebuild the school, he and Charles do reconcile, and Lehnsherr's farewell hints that he'll return to visit someday. The farewell scene between Xavier and Peter turned out to be very important in retrospect because Quicksilver becomes Professor X's protÃ©gÃ© after the Final Battle of X-Men: Apocalypse. In 1973, it was Charles (and not Erik, who was the subject of the prison break) who had thanked Maximoff for his help, gave the teen a task that required some responsibility (i.e. returning the rental car), and offered him a paternal-sounding "Take it slow" as a goodbye, which made Peter grin. That small gesture ended up carrying a lot of meaning because Quicksilver chooses Xavier as his Parental Substitute over his own father a decade later. The older Professor X reassures his younger self that empathy is "...the greatest gift we have: to bear their pain without breaking." That must have sounded like a bold statement to his 1973 self because, at the time, he regarded his psychic nature as a grave weakness, but his elderly self is proven right in X-Men: Apocalypse. Xavier shoulders the burden of Jean Grey's distress over her telepathy and this forges a strong father-daughter-like connection between them. Through The Power of Love, he helps her to conquer her fears during the climax, and she is able to use the Phoenix Force to save his life and the world.

Of course, Becky ended up turning on her just like Charlotte had. But by 2015 both women had undergone a Heelâ€“Face Turn and were in the front row cheering her for getting to main event a PPV. So it seems they really were Bayley Friends Forever.

It's a sweet sentiment at the time since it was the first time she had ever really viewed him in a positive light, but it becomes so much more meaningful in retrospect given how the two develop a close Like Brother and Sister dynamic over the next couple dozen chapters (which is often cited by the fandom as being the most wholesome relationship in the series).

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_746814ae	comment	Arthur: In "D.W.'s Snow Mystery", D.W. says she treasures the snowball because it's a piece of the best day of her life. Season 4's "The Blizzard" reveals that she made it the first day the power came back after a devastating snowstorm, allowing everyone to play outside properly. D.W. during that episode was freaking out that she and her family would die from lack of heat or food and was relieved when the snow stopped falling. It suddenly makes more sense why Jane humored her and let her keep it in the freezer. In "D.W. Unties the Knot", D.W. sets out to plan her dream wedding after being inspired by a reality show about fancy wedding parties and chooses her preschool classmate James as her groom. While they obviously don't actually get married in the end, being preschoolers and allnote D.W. didn't realize until after the wedding planning was already underway that a wedding means actually marrying the groom and not just having a fancy party., D.W. tells her best friend Emily that she would like her to be the bridesmaid again at her real wedding 20 years in the future. Fast forward to 2016, six years after the episode first aired, and two kids who met in preschool did actually get married exactly that amount of years later, so a future romance for D.W. and James is very much plausible. And if the amount of years it took for them to get married isn't enough of a similarity, the woman of the couple has a sister named Molly, which is also the name of James' older sister.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_75149ccd	comment	Over the course of the X-Wing Series Wraith novels, a relationship develops between two members of the squad, Myn Donos and Lara Notsil — which is slightly complicated by the revelation in Solo Command that Lara used to be an Imperial Intelligence agent. At the end of the novel, she is believed to be KIA but sends a message to the heroes which Wedge and Han Solo end up watching, where she reaches out to Donos again. Wedge orders that the message gets forwarded to Donos and all other copies deleted, but we never see if he opens it or replies since it's the last of the Wraith books. This remains unresolved until the X-Wing continuation novel, Mercy Kill (released a decade later) makes it clear that they reunited, started a business together, married, and had four kids. The same book provides another example: Back in the New Jedi Order series, Jacen argued that the Yuuzhan Vong aren't inherently evil and that a Yuuzhan Vong raised by humans could be an entirely moral person. While it was completely hypothetical at that point, Scut proves him to be completely right.

We see the same actor (Dan Shor) have a one-line cameo as Alan Bradley's co-worker (and implied to be Ram's User), credited only as "popcorn guy." Come the Expanded Universe material, particularly the ARG for the filmed sequel, "Popcorn Guy" gets a name - Roy Kleinburg. Roy is a stubborn, idealistic, Nice Guy who was among the first to speak his objections to Encom's abandonment of Flynn and Gibbs's ideas in favor of profit, forced into early retirement and becoming a dedicated hacktivist and one of the masterminds of the whole Flynn Lives movement. Ram's faith was anything but misplaced.

There's going to be a time, Hank, when we're all together." He's half-right because Raven does come home to him in X-Men: Apocalypse as his team's Number Two. Although Erik doesn't stay after he helps Jean to rebuild the school, he and Charles do reconcile, and Lehnsherr's farewell hints that he'll return to visit someday. The farewell scene between Xavier and Peter turned out to be very important in retrospect because Quicksilver becomes Professor X's protÃ©gÃ© after the Final Battle of X-Men: Apocalypse. In 1973, it was Charles (and not Erik, who was the subject of the prison break) who had thanked Maximoff for his help, gave the teen a task that required some responsibility (i.e. returning the rental car), and offered him a paternal-sounding "Take it slow" as a goodbye, which made Peter grin. That small gesture ended up carrying a lot of meaning because Quicksilver chooses Xavier as his Parental Substitute over his own father a decade later. The older Professor X reassures his younger self that empathy is "...the greatest gift we have: to bear their pain without breaking." That must have sounded like a bold statement to his 1973 self because, at the time, he regarded his psychic nature as a grave weakness, but his elderly self is proven right in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_7832b74c	comment	What we learn about Garnet in the first season finale of Steven Universe retroactively makes a lot of her best moments even better because she basically is The Power of Love. But another one that's more Fridge Heartwarming (if there was such a page) is what it says about Steven and Connie's accidental fusion. As we see with most fusions, it is difficult to initiate, difficult to maintain, and sometimes difficult to control. Pearl and Amethyst could only make it work while Steven was in great danger and popped apart the moment it was over and they started arguing again, and Garnet and Amethyst were once the Monster of the Week with Pearl and Steven having to stop their uncontrollable One-Winged Angel form who just wanted to fight and didn't care who. The Fusion Dance is a literal one and a lot longer and more complex than the Dragon Ball Z edition, too. On the other hand, because of how total their love for each other is, Ruby and Sapphire require only a Twirl of Love to become Garnet and stay that way for as long as they see fit. That means for Steven and Connie to be able to ''accidentally' fuse just while having fun together after only a few steps of dancing just for the heck of it, and stay that way for a long time, only separating when Connie's social anxiety was pushed to the extreme, it means that even if they're only at the Ship Tease stage romantically, their bond must be very close and very deep. Nothing's more intimate than fusion and for them, it's as natural as breathing! Also, when we find out that Pearl was jealous of Rose Quartz's growing relationship with Greg back in the day, Pearl's friendship with Steven is made even more meaningful: After all, Rose Quartz gave up her physical form to make Steven with Greg, effectively dying. Rose was Pearl's close friend, and Pearl may have wanted a Relationship Upgrade, so the amount of pain and loss Steven represents for her is extreme. You would never know that from her relationship with Steven, who she never treats as anything but a dear friend... and we know from the episode where we learn all this that it's definitely not because Pearl is this perfect person who's just not capable of being unfair. In "We Need to Talk", it was shown that Pearl downright despised Greg out of jealousy for Rose's affection. Knowing this, it makes all other moments in the present where the two are working together on much friendlier terms all the more sweeter.

But Spielberg would find love again with Kate Capshaw, who he'd marry several years afterwards. He would say that meeting her was the best part of making this movie. In 2023, co-star Ke Huy Quan won his first Academy Award for Everything Everywhere All at Once, after return to acting after appearing in this and The Goonies. He credited Spielberg, who was involved in both in some capacity but directed this, for starting his journey to winning the award and supporting him after appearing in this movie. In general, Quan had difficulties obtaining roles written for Asian-Americans and appeared appreciative of his time on this movie, despite his characterâ€™s base-breaking qualities. What's more, Harrison Ford was the presenter for the Best Picture award, which went to Everything Everywhere All at Once, and thus was there to personally congratulate Quan. "Fortune and glory", after all. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is about Indy patching his relationship with his estranged father Henry Sr.. Shortly after this film, Spielberg rebuilt his own relationship with his father, in part thanks to the influence of his wife Capshaw. The filming of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in Cambodia helped spark Angelina Jolie's lifelong passion for humanitarian activism, after she witnessed children being affected by landmines in a country that just recovered from a long civil war. She later became an ambassador for the UN High Council for Refugees and helped bring awareness to neglected conflict zones and displaced people worldwide.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_8f99cb4c	comment	In a season 1 episode of American Dragon: Jake Long, Rose guesses that their problem with rehearsing the kiss scene in Antony and Cleopatra was that the kiss represented the culmination of everything Antony and Cleopatra had gone through together, and Jake and Rose may have liked each other but had not gone through anything together. They later do go through a lot of things together (including Jake discovering that she's a member of the Huntsclan, and her discovering he's a dragon), and their first kiss in season 2, right before they have to fight a Duel to the Death in which she's going to feign killing him to save his life, turns that line in this trope. Done again in the series finale, where Rose, who had lost her memory as part of Jake saving her from her Heroic Sacrifice, recovers her memory and helps to defeat the Dark Dragon, and the first thing she does after the battle is over is kissing him.

Alvin then wakes up, sees the wall still standing, and sadly notes, "It was all just a dream... but it doesn't have to be." And eleven months later, it wasn't. The episode was actually rebroadcast on NBC on November 18, 1989, 9 days after the Berlin Wall was torn down.

Almost nine years after that episode aired, the manga ends with an epilogue revealing that the two did get married and started a family. Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow: In one scene, Naruto gripes about how awesome his life would be if he could save a princess. Well, not only does he save one in this movie, but he also saves one in The Last: Naruto the Movie and that princess, Hinata, becomes his wife. Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth: After Hinata beats Hanabi in Chapter 34, Hiashi praises the both of them, and says that the HyÅ«ga's future is bright. At the end of the main series, Hinata married Naruto and they had two children, continuing the HyÅ«ga clan with their two Uzumaki children. Narutonote In Lee's body telling Neji that he'd fix up the HyÅ«ga once he becomes Hokage. In one of Lee's skits in Episode 35-B, he suggests that Hinata gives Naruto a handmade scarf as a gift, but Tenten dismisses the idea. A red scarf is one of the key events that actually help begin their romantic relationship in The Last: Naruto the Movie. Even better—the red scarf was based on the one Kishimoto's wife knitted for him once.

Before that, in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, Shinn and Lunamaria fans were up in arms when they hooked up with no buildup whatsoever after he (Shinn) seemingly killed Athrun and Lunamaria's sister, Meyrin. Making it more confusing is when Mitsuo Fukuda, in a post-show interview, said that Shinn and Lunamaria were "the only true couple" in the series.

The "Amphibia and The Owl House crossover" at San Diego Comic-Con 2021 has its two main protagonists wanting to have a sleepover only to have to promise to have it in another life in another universe. "The Sleepover" came out 7 months before the crossover happened; by then, Luz and Anne already had their sleepover this way. Luz and Marcy writing a fanfic together is nice enough upon first reading. Come the tail end of Amphibia season 3, Anne admits to Sasha that neither of them ever really engaged in their friend's interests, sleeping through her favorite movie at every sleepover. The addition of Luz to the cast means Marcy finally has someone to talk shop with, and she clearly enjoys their mutual interest in fantasy.

During the filming of the movie, Cavill asked Crowe for advice about acting, since he had aspirations of pursuing a full-time career as an actor. A few days after their conversation, he received a box of goodies from Crowe that included a signed picture of him in Gladiator with the words, "Dear Henry: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" written on it. Fast-forward to 2013: Henry Cavill is playing Superman opposite Russell Crowe, who's playing his father and mentor, Jor-El.

In between 1963 and 1973, Charles and Hank were each other's Only Friend after the former was forced to close his newly budding school due to The Vietnam War draft. Xavier then fell into a deep depression that was further worsened by his alcoholism, and McCoy did his best to try to take care of his former mentor. They eventually became Heterosexual Life-Partners, so Beast isn't just a good friend to the Professor; he's family. Hank also mentions to Logan that both he and Charles had built the school and the labs, so McCoy is just as essential as Xavier in the formation of the X-Men.

Wolverine doesn't know it yet, but what he's truly looking for is right in front of him. As X-Men: Days of Future Past demonstrates, Xavier is the person who gives meaning to Logan's existence; the "master" to his "samurai," so to speak. This is especially true in the Alternate Timeline, where Wolverine has settled down as a history teacher at Charles' school and is genuinely happy—probably the happiest we've seen him in the entire film franchise. Days of Future Past makes it clear that it's Xavier — and not Jean Grey, as The Wolverine might have you believe — who is the most significant figure in Logan's life during his post-amnesia years.

Whether or not the player decides to place him on a team consisting of his old rivals, or a couple of new faces, it looks like he's finally gained admirable companions of his own. Likewise, the marriage of Maaya Sakamoto and Kenichi Suzumura (as seen in the Anime/Manga section) will usually lessen the tragedy about Aerith Gainsborough and Zack Fair, both of them who died tragically in spite of loving each other, not only they are Together in Death, they are now further bound together with voice marriage.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Griffon the Brush Off" has Pinkie Pie throwing a party for the Jerkass griffon Gilda, hoping to "turn that frown upside-down". Fast-forward to season two where Pinkie sings a song about how much she honestly and completely loves making people smile and brightening up their days with parties and play. Even later in "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone", Gilda's genuine friendship with Rainbow Dash is easier to see when she flashes back to the day they first befriended each other, especially their Junior Speedster's chant, begrudgingly as it was. "Only for you, Dash." It becomes even more heartwarming when you see the friendship that ended between Rainbow Dash and Gilda in "Griffon the Brush Off" rebuilt in season five. In "Call of the Cutie", the Cutie Mark Crusaders get formed when they meet at Diamond Tiara's celebration of receiving her cutie mark. In "Crusaders of the Lost Mark", they all receive theirs after helping redeem Diamond Tiara. "The Washouts" has Scootaloo lose interest in the Wonderbolts because (on account of her being unable to fly) there is no realistic hope of her ever becoming one. About a year later, issue 81 of the IDW comic would have her hear the story of an earth pony aeronaut who experimented with gliders, used his invention to rescue a stranded Wonderbolt, and was welcomed into their ranks. Combined with Scootaloo exhibiting mechanical skills of her own in "One Bad Apple" and "Twilight Time", this would suggest that she could develop a workaround to her Dream-Crushing Handicap if she were so inclined.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: In "The Time Monster," the Doctor tells his friend Jo about a hermit who mentored and supported him during a dark time. Two years later, in Jon Pertwee's final story as the Doctor, we get to meet that hermit in person, and he helps the Doctor again through a tricky regeneration. Back in "Genesis of the Daleks," the Doctor tells Sarah Jane and Harry that even though he failed to destroy the Daleks, he knows that out of their evil must come something good. This can be easy to dismiss, given all of the evil the Daleks are responsible for, but given stories such as "Journey's End" and "Twice Upon A Time," where Daleks actually help the Doctor, it turns out that he was actually right. In "Survival", the last story of the 1989 series, the Doctor closes with a beautiful speech culminating with, "Come on, Ace. We've got work to do." At the time, it was unknown if the show would ever come back, due to Executive Meddling. Fast-forward sixteen years, and the Doctor is back on our screens, with the show as good as (many would say, better than) ever, and since then it's only gone from success to success. "The Waters of Mars", set in 2059, has a scene in which one of the first Astronauts on Mars, a Russian, video-chats with his brother about said brother's husband's spending habits, with the implication that same-sex marriage is no big deal in Russia. Given the repression of Gay Rights in Russia we've seen in 2013, it makes the episode's overall theme of humanity rising beyond its early 21st-century crisis and making it to faraway Mars all the more powerful. A later story has the Doctor meet Van Gogh and inspire him, though sadly it's not enough to prevent the artist from committing suicide. Later, new research showed that he may not have committed suicide at all, that it may have been accidental. If this is so, then the Doctor and Amy were far more successful than they realized. "The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot" is a parody film focusing on the unappreciated Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy trying their hardest to get involved with the show's fiftieth anniversary. Nine years later, all three (plus Paul McGann) would return to the show proper as their respective Doctors to see off the Thirteenth Doctor in "The Power of the Doctor", which led right into the show's sixtieth anniversary specials.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_cb6abea3	comment	In Yu-Gi-Oh!, Seto Kaiba's obsession with the Blue Eyes White Dragon card, which the series portrays as a combination of Kaiba's preoccupation with power and therefore his reliance on a power deck filled with powerful monster cards; and a strange, inexplicable, almost mystical emotional connection with said cards; is eventually revealed to be the result of subconscious Past-Life Memories: Pegasus, the creator of the Duel Monsters game, based the Blue Eyes White Dragon card on an Ancient Egyptian engraving of a priest directing a spirit-like white dragon with blue eyes in battle - said engraving was a recording of the events of Pharaoh Atem's reign when Kaiba's past incarnation was a royal High Priest named Set who fell in love with a woman named Kisara who had a hyper-powerful personal spirit animal of a white dragon with blue eyes, and when she died, the dragon lived on, continuing to fight with and defend Set in battle. Kaiba's inexplicable adoration of the supposedly-fictional monster is an echo of his forgotten love for Kisara. This became an intentional example, but in the very first appearance of both Kaiba and the Blue Eyes White Dragon, long before the full connection was conceived of and when Kaiba was intended to only be a one-shot character, he gasps in enraptured amazement when he sees the card and tells Yugi "I'm in love with that card!" It's supposed to show how egotistically obsessed he is with what seems to be a simple trading card, but on re-reads it comes off as much deeper than that.

He ultimately stays with the team, though said skill remains a Chekhov's Skill throughout many of Jessie's coordinator escapades, even winning contests and showcases. A talent that nearly had him abandon his teammates for business ventures instead helps one of them with their own. In a sense, nearly all of the Team Rocket trio's idolizing and yearning for Giovanni's respect becomes heartwarming when they finally achieve success in Black & White and become respected agents, even managing to save Giovanni's life at one point. In "Tricks of the Trade", the trio gives Jessie's Wobbuffet a rather jaded induction to the team. Wobbuffet is the only PokÃ©mon other than Meowth that accompanied Jessie and James over nearly every series and still does to this day. This gets even more heartwarming once you realize that Wobbuffet's original trainer Teru/Benny hopes Jessie would take good care of Wobbuffet. Pretty much any rare praise or encouragement Ash got at the start of the series about his potential to become a good trainer becomes heartwarming by the later periods of the anime, especially by XY where he verges as The Ace for his current team. Throughout most of his Kanto training, Brock was the one most likely to give positive support and advice to Ash. When Brock returns in the Sun and Moon series, he helps train with the Alola students by demonstrating a deflect tactic with Gyro Ball, which he mentions he learned from "a certain challenger of his". It seems things have come full circle. In the,A Trainer and Child Reunion! episode with Aaron and his Beautifly features flashbacks to Ash's Butterfree, with Ash expressing a desire to see him again. Come Episode 136 of Journeys, he got his wish.

The above becomes even more heartwarming when the US Supreme Court declared same-sex marriage is legal nationwide a little over six months afterward. Bryan even posted this, with the tag "love wins". In the original series, Toph once asked Aang "Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?" It becomes heartwarming in The Legend of Korra when, many years later, Toph would eventually meet and befriend Aang's reincarnation. In the first season, Tenzin mentions that his ex-girlfriend Police Chief Lin Bei Fong "got along famously" with his father, Avatar Aang. After what we learn about Lin's past in seasons three and four and how Lin never knew her real father, it becomes rather obvious that Aang must have been a surrogate father figure to Lin, and a source of positive parental love that her own mother Toph constantly failed to provide.

Bonus points for Don Bluth making this movie; the ex-Disney animator's creation is now forever a part of Disney's family.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_e755f69b	comment	In Batman: Arkham Origins; the general feel is the Nolan movies. Grim, nobody trusts Batman, the police are corrupt; the game ends on what would be a generic Hope Spot but we know that it will become better. The police like Batman in Batman: Arkham Asylum. The effect gets magnified - Origins was the third game released in the series, though it was a prequel to the previous games, and the cops are enemies for Batman, collectively just as interested as the traditional supervillains of Batman's rogues gallery in the 50 million dollar bounty on Batman's head. The Gotham SWAT team even starts gearing up and going rogue to hunt Batman on their own. In the fourth, Batman: Arkham Knight, set roughly eight to ten years after Origins, it's not just that the police willingly work beside Batman, they are now a strong, competent, and above all, clean organization - the worst cop among them is a singular one who acted as an informant for Riddler, with all others being ready and willing to defend Gotham against a massive terrorist threat from Scarecrow that prompted the evacuation of the entire city. All those who remained were volunteers. Even more, the reason that worst cop was aiding the Riddler? He felt SORRY for Edward Nygma, whose mental state has clearly unraveled over the course of the series, and eventually, his questline in this game ends up with him occasionally having a Freudian slip about his father while fighting Batman. It's a far cry from the cops in Origins who were rounding up hobos to make them fight for scraps while the police bet on the winner.

Chris says, rather plainly, that he got the essay from an angel. He was speaking more in a religious sense but think for a second about from where, or rather who, it actually came. "The Big Bang Theory", where Stewie goes back in time to "The Courtship of Stewie's Father" where Brian does the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" dance for Peter and does it for him instead of Brian. At first, Peter is cheered up because you think Stewie did it better. Then you realize that this was the episode where Peter was upset because Stewie was mad at him, so seeing him do that would've cheered Peter up.

In later installations of the game, Guile is voiced by actor Travis Willingham... who then married fellow VA Laura Bailey (who now voices Chun-Li, who's a close friend of Guile in-story). The meme has mutated accordingly: "Travis Willingham is a family man!" Not to mention that Travis Willingham also voices Colonel Roy Mustang, whose defining trait is that he's A Father to His Men. It's even more appropriate as of 2018, with Travis and Laura welcoming their first child, Ronin.

Heartwarming in Hindsight / int_f2dcf0cd	comment	A minor example with The Music Video Show. Each season has the host wearing new clothing. In the first three seasons, she mostly wore long-sleeved shirts and wore hats. After the 3rd season, she wore clothing that showed more of her body, along with no hat, making a more exposed and changed person from season one. In 2019, she did a livestream where she came out as genderqueer. Looking at the changes in clothing she uses every season, it is like she was trying to figure herself out. Then, in 2020... The beginning of Episode 5 has her wearing feminine clothing and, after making an excuse, she cries, "Don't judge me!". This example is this trope when she stated that she was genderqueer and that she feels comfortable wearing women's clothing and makeup in real life. This has even reached the actual show, as seen at the beginning of its season 10 premiere.

That must have sounded like a bold statement to his 1973 self because, at the time, he regarded his psychic nature as a grave weakness, but his elderly self is proven right in X-Men: Apocalypse. Xavier shoulders the burden of Jean Grey's distress over her telepathy and this forges a strong father-daughter-like connection between them.

They're in the same location and positions they are when the real proposal happens. A flashback reveals Chandler and Monica almost have sex when he calls her "the most beautiful woman I've ever known [in real life]." In season 5 when they have sex for real what does he say that sparks it? "You're the most beautiful woman in most rooms". Clearly, that line works on her. In Season 1, Chandler offers to get together with Monica and raise a family together if they're both still single at forty. Turns out he doesn't wait until they're forty. In "The One Where Heckles Dies", Chandler freaks out that his commitment phobia will prevent him from finding the one, and he'll be left alone when the others settle down. Flash forward to later seasons, and he has found the one, (she was living across the hall the whole time), and he and Monica are the first to get married (and stay married) and start a family. "The One With All the Flashbacks", when pre-series Chandler comforts Monica over not having a boyfriend and tells her she'll find someone. Of course, she does find someone: him.

But Spielberg would find love again with Kate Capshaw, who he'd marry several years afterwards. He would say that meeting her was the best part of making this movie. In 2023, co-star Ke Huy Quan won his first Academy Award for Everything Everywhere All at Once, after return to acting after appearing in this and The Goonies. He credited Spielberg, who was involved in both in some capacity but directed this, for starting his journey to winning the award and supporting him after appearing in this movie. In general, Quan had difficulties obtaining roles written for Asian-Americans and appeared appreciative of his time on this movie, despite his characterâ€™s base-breaking qualities. What's more, Harrison Ford was the presenter for the Best Picture award, which went to Everything Everywhere All at Once, and thus was there to personally congratulate Quan. "Fortune and glory", after all.
