Violet Evergarden employs this trope as a way to convey grieving and the feeling of having lost life's meaning. The eponymous protagonist has just recovered from a very traumatic battle where she lost her arms and her beloved superior. When she awakes, the war has come to an end and both the landscapes surrounding her and the town she now lives in are too idyllic and peaceful for an ex-soldier who was never allowed to experience any feelings and is deep in mourning. The trope is subverted as she heals. | |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Many of the witches' labyrinths look as if they came from Wonderland — they are collages of vibrant, bizarre, colorful elements. Some of the minions even go around singing and dancing. As a result, everything fits surreal and out of place (in a good sense) whenever an unsuspecting or mind-controlled civilian gets trapped or a magical girl goes hunting the witch and its minions down. It's made worse after The Reveal that the witches are the corrupted versions of magical girls that fell into despair or ran out of magic and that the labyrinths are depictions of their broken mindscapes and unfulfilled wishes. | |

The Simpsons: The episode "Little Big Girl" has Bart and Darcy having The Big Damn Kiss at a drive-in theater. In the background of said kiss, we see a teenager in a varsity jacket being violently chainsawed by his psychiatrist under a red filter. Invoked by Homer in "Mommie Beerest". When Lenny and Carl are about to suggest that Marge likes Moe more than Homer, Homer asks if he can learn the sad truth "at a happy place". The trio then discusses the situation while riding a log flume ride at Itchy and Scratchy Land. |

Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City: One sidequest has you going out to investigate a campsite in the Waterfall Wood, one of the aforementioned forests and which has many lovely waterways. Upon arriving at the campsite, you witness the bloody aftermath of some sort of battle that look place here, implying that the occupants were killed horribly. Somewhat downplayed when you return to the pub to report on your findings, as the group is alive and well there and the reality is that they caused the carnage in self-defense when some hostile monsters interrupted them in the middle of their sleep. | |

Etrian Odyssey: The series has lush, beautiful scenery, with an emphasis on forests, in many of the games. These games also make up some of the hardest games produced by Atlus, a company already known for Nintendo Hard games, with difficult enemy encounters attacking you in these lush woodlands from the get-go and horrific Roaming Enemies called FOEs that will completely destroy an unprepared party. Also, in the first game, some of these woods were built on top of the ruins of a modern Japanese city and are the byproduct of a gigantic World Tree that was built to bring the world back to a livable state after a global apocalypse destroyed it. Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City: One sidequest has you going out to investigate a campsite in the Waterfall Wood, one of the aforementioned forests and which has many lovely waterways.

Scarface (1983): Features many violent scenes happening in sunny/colorful settings. Some examples include Sosa having Omar hanged from a helicopter in broad daylight, the final shootout at Tony's luxurious villa, and Frank Lopez being reduced to a terrified pleading wreck and killed within a meeting room that has a beautiful Tropical beach sunset wallpaper. | |

Happens very often in the James Bond films given the protagonist's missions taking him to beautifully shot exotic locations where high-octane action setpieces in which 007 fights for his life and performs dangerous stunts unfold. Moonraker plays this for horror in the scene of the Big Bad's rottweilers chasing and ripping apart Corinne in the middle of a beautiful forest. | |

Some examples from the Marvel Cinematic Universe: A lot of final battles against the Big Bad's invading armies such as in The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Infinity War to name a few, unfold during warm sunny days. Ant-Man: Nearing the climax, Ant-Man and Yellowjacket miniaturize and have a grand, epic fight with killer ants and ray lasers in a little girl's room. Not only that but for a rather long while, they engage in a toy setup of Thomas the Tank Engine (watch it here). As Thomas is about to collide with Yellowjacket, the camera suddenly cuts to the actual scale, and the dramatic train collision becomes a very anti-climatic scene of a toy train falling off its tracks and basically doing no harm to the villain. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: has Nebula using the firepower of her spaceship to try kill Gamora when she walks alone on the colorful landscape of Ego's Crapsaccharine World planet. The scene is also a Shout-Out to the equally dissonant crop duster attack scene from North By Northwest. Thor: Ragnarok: Thor's first confrontation with Hela occurs in a pleasant Norwegian meadow overlooking the sea. |

Rebuild World has this trope as its hallmark. Alpha, the AI helper of the main character, either wears fancy outfits or goes nude in places like slums or war-ravaged landscapes. Her excuse is that she draws everyone's attention so they know they can interface with the old-world domain through her. And that it's training to prevent the protagonist from falling into a Honey Trap. Shiori, one of the maids of the rich heiress Raina, sets up a room to look like a luxury restaurant in the middle of a ruined warzone. It's noted that it would invite scorn from other hunters if they saw it. |

In Niels, one scene has Niels quietly enjoying a beautiful sunset...while two cops slowly drown under the dock he sits on. | |

A lot of the ultraviolence in A Clockwork Orange takes place in picturesque surroundings: the abandoned casino, the writer's modernist house, the cat lady's art gallery... | |

In Sweet Country, a black farmhand who killed a white landowner in self-defense is hunted through the wilderness of the Australian outback. The beautiful landscapes are contrasted with the violent and sordid human events. | |

Jaws has very few scenes set during nighttime, for the rest the gruesome and traumatic Threatening Shark attacks happen in sunny daylight at crowded beaches. The sequel is no different as it includes the killing of happy waterskiing youths and bikini babes at a sunlit beach, which is included in the poster. | |

Nope has lots of Scenery Porn of Agua Dulce, California... where a mysterious UFO flies around and sucks people up. Gordy's massacre on the homely, well-lit set of his sitcom also counts as this. | |

Mili's music video for the song "Iron Lotus" features one of their mascots dancing cheerfully, but the song itself is about a mercenary vowing to avenge her dead husband and how she wishes she had the chance to say goodbye to him before he died. | |

19 Kids and Counting: In one of the episodes, Jill is calmly playing the harp whilst being interviewed. Two seconds later, a blood-curdling scream and a smack can be heard — Jason has just fallen 12 feet into an orchestra pit. | |

Barbarian: The flashback shows Barbary Street to have been quite a bright, colorful suburbs rich in 80s aesthetic. Heavily contrasting the act of Frank posing as a maintenance worker to unlock innocent women's windows to kidnap and rape them in his dungeon. | |

Blue Remembered Hills takes place in the relatively calm and peaceful English countryside — specifically an (apparently) deserted farm and the surrounding woodland. The trope is averted when it's just the kids playing and pondering about life, but it causes a very prominent Mood Whiplash during the traumatic fire scene where one of the kids dies burned. | |

Gunlord: In the "Neo Geo" and "Dreamcast" versions, after going through two Eternal Engine levels, the final boss is fought in a rather out-of-place, plain-looking church. The background was changed in "X" to a more colorful lair in space. | |

Ant-Man: Nearing the climax, Ant-Man and Yellowjacket miniaturize and have a grand, epic fight with killer ants and ray lasers in a little girl's room. Not only that but for a rather long while, they engage in a toy setup of Thomas the Tank Engine (watch it here). As Thomas is about to collide with Yellowjacket, the camera suddenly cuts to the actual scale, and the dramatic train collision becomes a very anti-climatic scene of a toy train falling off its tracks and basically doing no harm to the villain. | |

Most of The Cabin at the End of the World takes place during the day. This begins with two dads and their little girl going off to relax at a cabin but being subjected to a home invasion by four strangers. The latter try to force the family to a Sadistic Choice: allow one of their own to be sacrificed, or else the world will end. The girl is killed by accident, among other terrible things. | |

Dead Rising juxtaposes its gruesome zombie story by setting it inside a colorful Colorado shopping mall complete with mall muzak playing on the loudspeakers while Frank is fending off the undead. The sequel does something similar, but instead sets itself within a bright Vegas-style casino resort, though Fortune City does contain two mini-mall areas. | |

Greyhound: As the wolfpack attacks the convoy in force on the first night, the camera zooms out over the entire battle until it's over the cloud layer and we see the aurora borealis hanging quietly over the carnage below. It's one of the more haunting scenes in the movie. | |
