The Farmer and the Viper	comment	Kindness is thrown away upon evil. This Hard Truth Aesop is much like Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: a display of friendship, trust, and love won't always bring about redemption; sometimes a bad person is simply bad, and they won't stop being that way just because you were kind to them — in fact, they may very well betray you in any number of fashions, repaying the good turn you've done for them with evil. It's in the nature of a snake to bite, after all. Correctly discerning the irredeemable from the redeemable is tricky, of course, and expect characters to argue over whether this trope even applies. After all, in Real Life, this belief is used to justify ignoring people in need, especially if they have ever done anything vaguely "bad". In fact, characters believing in this trope too passionately often create unsympathetic to outright villainous characters - anything from uncaring zealots to psychotic serial murderers who believe they are purging society of its permanently corrupted evil dregs since there is no hope for redemption for them. Compare Morality Chain, where the Samaritan does somehow manage to restrain their ward's wickedness. Turn the Other Cheek is probably the Samaritan's mindset. The receiver may turn out to be Always Chaotic Evil, a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, or a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk. When combined with Save the Villain, this is sometimes used to set up a Disney Villain Death. Compare Bad Samaritan, when it is the caregiver, not the care-receiver, who is evil. Also, compare Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like. Plays with the traditional belief of Sacred Hospitality. If such an act makes a character give up on redeeming the villain, it's Beyond Redemption. Common occupational hazard of a would-be Redeemer. Inverse of Good Samaritan and Androcles' Lion. See also Befriending the Enemy, NaÃ¯ve Animal Lover, Save the Villain, Taking You with Me, Take My Hand!, Prisoner's Dilemma, Ungrateful Bastard, Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, Horrible Judge of Character. Compare Pacifism Backfire (while this is "Hospitality Backfire") and the False Innocence Trick where a captured villain pretends to be harmless. See also They Were Holding You Back for a common justification for how the viper is really "helping." Also called the "Scorpion Dilemma" or "The Scorpion and The Frog" after a similar Fable (popularized in Orson Welles's Mr. Arkadin), this story contains the additional Aesop that a venomous creature can't help but give in to its nature, even when doing so will lead directly to its own death. See also Orc Raised by Elves. (Also, at risk of pointing out the obvious, don't take Aesop's Fables as a good guide to real-life snakes, who do not run around envenomating people out of a general desire to do evil. Venom is precious and expensive, so real snakes save it for survival purposes, something this trope would undermine.) noreallife

The Farmer and the Viper / int_10b03dcf	comment	Batman: Arkham Asylum: This is a core part of Arkham's backstory; he took pity on the insane man who murdered his family and tried to cure him. The killer pretended to be cured and then murdered the nearest secretary he could get his hands on. Arkham lost faith in humanity from that point, along with his sanity. In Batman: Arkham City, Batman saves a Two-Face thug from being lowered into a vat of molten steel by Joker Thugs. Once the thug is offscreen (invisible to the player, even if within Batman's line of sight), he attacks Batman.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_13349140	comment	A recurring theme throughout Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) is that Sonic's tendency to be kind towards his enemies often has long-term consequences. His insistence on showing mercy to Eggman and Metal Sonic led to the Metal Virus nearly destroying the world. When he and Tails decided to send the Deadly Six back to their home planet rather than punish them for their crimes, their leader Zavok mocked them by promising that he would repay Sonic's compassion with violence and misery. Sonic is occasionally shown to be more than somewhat troubled by this and he has been repeatedly criticized by his friends for his leniency, but he also refuses to compromise his morals out of fear.

But when Trevelyan reveals that he not only survived the explosion but is also the true Big Bad, Bond's reaction changes to one of raw anger and shock. Trevelyan even laces his Breaking Speeches to 007 with derision, pointing out his Fatal Flaw for women, whether he has any qualms killing people, his loyalty to England, and even his skills as an agent. Near the end, Trevelyan even tries to kill Bond near the climax.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_1858fe06	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Snively switches sides between the Freedom Fighters and Robotnik/Eggman frequently, usually for his own safety and benefit. It had gotten to the point where his sister, Hope, disowns him when his use of the trope leads to Knothole being destroyed and nearly led to the Freedom Fighters killed. The original Freedom Fighters group that fought Robotnik prior to the modern heroes were betrayed by one of their own: a Mobian snake named Trey Scales. His excuse for turning on them was that it was "totally in his nature" to be a traitor due to being a snake. However, Trey failed to take into account that backstabbing was Robotnik's nature as well and he was roboticised alongside his former comrades.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_1bd1ddf2	comment	Frieren: Beyond Journey's End: Frieren is about to execute a demon who ate a couple's daughter, but the village chief steps in and offers to help reform her. Himmel pledges his support of the decision, with Frieren reluctantly going along with it at Himmel's request (but still keeping an eye on her). It initially seems like the demon has made good progress in bonding with the chief and his daughter... and the next time we see the chief, he's lying on the ground dead, his house is on fire, and his daughter is taken hostage by the demon they took in. The demon mocks the townspeople and the heroes for not killing her despite actively wanting her dead, and, to twist the knife further, she offers the aforementioned couple the chief's daughter as a "replacement" for their own. This enrages Himmel and Freiren enough to immediately take action, with the former rescuing the chief's daughter and the latter dealing the killing blow to the demon.

He's proven right when Harmony betrays the team to the vampire cult she was supposed to be helping them investigate. In the season 3 episode "Offspring", Angel's sire/ex-lover Darla shows up at the hotel, visibly pregnant. Seeing Darla's pain over her pregnancy, Cordelia throws Angel out of her room and tries to comfort her, to which Darla responds by covering Cordelia's mouth so she can't scream and bite her neck. Cordelia is only saved by Angel making a Conveniently Timed Attack from Behind. After Darla's escape, Cordelia apologizes to Angel, remarking that she let Darla's condition cloud her better judgment and forgot that pregnant or not, Darla is still a dangerous vampire.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_22d74b2e	comment	Redwall: Veil Sixclaw repaid the Abbeydwellers for saving him by attempting to poison one of them. Then again, they may have saved his life but even before he attempted to kill them they always treated him as if he was going to anyway. His foster-mother Bryony, the only one who trusted him, considered this as a Freudian Excuse, but it didn't help. Worse yet, even at the end of the book and his life, he himself feels like he is evil or just born bad, even though he saved Bryony, sacrificing himself to do that. It's also notable for being one of the few books where Redwallians are portrayed in a less-than-sterling light. They're good in themselves here, but their actions toward Veil are ambiguous at best, just as he is ambiguously good or evil. Bryony also seems very uncertain about him even afterward, and both seem to think she should have let him go long before. This trope also applies to Chickenhound of Redwall, who is kindly taken in by the Abbeydwellers after they find him lying muddy, bloody, and unconscious in the middle of the road. He repays the gesture by stealing a bunch of random trinkets and killing Methuselah, although in his defense the latter was mostly an accident. About the only thing he does do that's him being nice to the Redwallers is tell them about Cluny's plans to tunnel into the Abbey, which turns out to be incredibly useful, but wasn't entirely altruistic on his part. Any vermin Redwallers ever take in or help fit this trope. Salamandastron has Dingeye and Thura, who eventually kill Brother Hal and then flee the Abbey, stealing Martin the Warrior's sword and infecting the place with Dryditch Fever in the process. Hal's death was accidental and the Dryditch Fever was inadvertent, but the sword stealing was their decision, albeit while in a state of panic. The Bellmaker has the Redwallers take in two wandering corsairs, a captain and his Minion with an F in Evil. The captain ends up killing Mother Mellus and stealing a trophy cup, but the trope is inverted when the minion ends up killing ''him'' and returning the cup to the Redwallers, whereupon he becomes a good friend of theirs and is allowed back to the Abbey for visits.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons In "The Old Man and the Lisa", Lisa makes it her goal to help Burns rebuild his lost fortune in a socially responsible way. He takes to her teachings with zeal but in his efforts to follow her instructions, he creates a recycling plant that strips mines ocean life into an all-purpose slurry. It ends with the memorable scene of Lisa running house to house begging people not to recycle! It then happens again, many seasons down the road, when Burns is brain-damaged and has lost his memory. Most of the Springfieldians take advantage of this to get revenge on him for everything he did to them. Lisa takes pity on him and ends up restoring him to his former evil self, with the added lesson that hatred is the only thing keeping him alive. "Pokey Mom" has Marge take an interest in reforming Jack Crowley, a prisoner convicted of armed robbery (voiced by Michael Keaton) by encouraging his casual interest in art. The warden agrees to let Marge take Jack into her home and help him find a job as a mural painter. When Marge hears that Principal Skinner wants a mural painted for Springfield Elementary, she suggests Jack for the task. But Skinner forces him to paint a treacly, cutesy scene instead of what he actually wanted to paint - and then, to add insult to injury, Skinner has Jack take all the blame when the mural proves unpopular. Jack has to be restrained from physically assaulting the principal, and soon afterward the mural is burned down. Marge finds Jack hiding in the playground and accuses him of going back to a life of crime; Jack lies that he's innocent, prompting Marge to believe him and to help him escape. Marge's reward for this is seeing Jack pour gasoline on Skinner's car and light that on fire in full view of everyone, laughing diabolically. Jack is quickly arrested and finally confesses to indeed starting the school fire, but not the car fire, leaving Marge disgusted. In "Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily", Homer and Marge lose custody of the kids, who are adopted by the Flanders. They show Rod and Todd an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon where Scratchy adopts Itchy only to be killed. The dying Scratchy asks Itchy "Why?" The "Night of the Dolphin" Treehouse of Horror segment has Lisa removing bottle rings from a dolphin, with the dolphin then biting her.

Green Goblin(admittedly distinct from Norman) thanks her by killing her in order to drive Peter to villainy. Raimi-verse Peter saves Green Goblin's life by stopping an enraged MCU Peter from impaling him on his own glider. Green Goblin immediately and literally stabs him in the back.

While the Turtles don't like the idea, they are forced by Splinter to help out Oroku Saki and try to rehabilitate him. In the end, the Shredder shows no gratitude and presumably gets back to being one of their enemies.

Bad Bird asks why he's helping him since he's an enemy. Speedy realizes he's right and lets him fall. This is especially interesting because Bad Bird ends up being redeemed at the end of the series.

After saving his Psycho Ranger counterpart from danger and while helping nurse him back to health, Leo tells him (and the audience) the "Frog and Scorpion" version of the fable. However, the episode deconstructs the dynamic in two different ways; first, Leo isn't stupid, and fully anticipates Dark Leo's betrayal. The second is that, while Dark Leo does betray the turtles, he still develops as a result of Leo's lesson and starts treating his brothers better at the end of the episode (much to their bewilderment).

The Farmer and the Viper / int_32c541e6	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist: In Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), the disgraced and homeless Yoki is taken in by a group of Ishbalan refugees. He promptly betrays them by selling out the Serial Killer and fellow Ishbalan Scar to a bunch of bounty-hunters with the intent to split the bounty. The refugees don't take the idea of Yoki ratting out one of their own well and promptly give him a beat-down. Averted in Brotherhood and the manga, where while he does still betray Scar to bounty-hunters, the bounty-hunters are significantly more reasonable and donâ€™t try to harm any of the refugees, and when Scar spares his life he legitimately does all he can to help from that point forward (which admittedly isnâ€™t that much, due to Yoki being a Non-Action Guy). Also Scar himself, after he kills Winry's parents after they give him life-saving medical treatment. To his credit, it was a bit accidental but still, he managed to kill both. ...depending on the source material. In the first anime, it was Mustang being forced to do his job. In the later chapters, the chimera Zampano, one of Edward's allies that Ed previously spared in battle, sneaks off and contacts the Military high command to rat them out. It's all a Batman Gambit though, planned to draw one of the Homunculi to them so they can spring an ambush.

Sometimes, such as with the Kroot, it mostly kind of works. Other times, not so much; for example, the human population of Kronos rewarded the Tau for their public works projects and Ork control efforts by siding en masse with Lukas Alexander's Imperial Guard. If the Tau win the Dark Crusade campaign, it's implied that a covert sterilization program is deployed to make sure they don't pull it twice, which is certainly a harsh option, but given that in the reverse circumstances the Imperium would have either scoured the planet from orbit or put most of them to the torch it's hard to view it as too over-the-top.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_37a71462	comment	Les MisÃ©rables: Jean Valjean is taken in by the priest when no one else will after being paroled following nineteen terrible years in prison. Valjean assaults the priest and steals his silver in the night, but while escaping, he is caught by the police as a suspicious character. The priest tells the police that he gave Valjean the silver and lets him go. This second act of kindness actually changes Valjean's nature, as he strives to be good in return for this following act of compassion. It's shown that being put in prison had thoroughly corrupted him in the first place. His crime was stealing bread to feed his sister's children, for which he got five years, with the sentence extended for every time he escaped. This trope is ultimately the reason Javert chooses to commit suicide. Valjean is a wanted criminal, so legally the only thing to do would be arresting him (something which Valjean has promised, by that point, not to fight). Thing is, Valjean also just saved Javert's life at the barricades, so Javert cannot, in good conscience, betray him like that. The only solution Javier can think of is to remove himself from the problem by killing himself.

First killing a dog that kept Gloria up, then the owner when he snooped, and finally Gloria's peeping tom paramour because he was causing Gloria to destabilize the family.

In Summer Knight the protagonist gets himself beholden to Queen Mab, the wicked ruler of the Winter Court of the Fae, and they agree to settle his debt by him performing three tasks for her, albeit while retaining the right to veto any one task on principle. After Mab gives him his first assignment and turns to leave, Harry incredulously asks her what makes her believe he will accept it and she tells him the story of the "Fox and Scorpion" and assures him "You will accept this case, wizard. It is what you are. It is your nature." By the end of the book, she's proved completely correct; in the process of fulfilling his task, he discovers a much larger plot, one that any rational person would admit it's way above his weight class for him to get involved, but Harry — being Harry — couldn't help himself but go beyond what he was obligated to do and try to save the day. Just like Mab expected him to.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: In the "Pilot" episode, a ghost is killing men who see her hitchhiking and pick her up. The trope is averted because her victims have an ulterior motive — she is smoking hot and the drivers are hoping the pickup turns into a hookup and she seeks them out to punish them for trying to cheat on their significant others. Later in the season, Meg, a frequent hitchhiker who it turns out is a victim of Demonic Possession, is shown killing men who pick her up and using their blood to communicate with other demons. Eve uses a similar technique in Season 6 with a nice and very unfortunate truck driver.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_490a7d52	comment	The Karma of Lies: Highlighted as one of Adrien's Fatal Flaws; even when he knows that somebody is acting cruelly, he dismisses their behavior so long as it doesn't personally affect him. This comes back to bite him hard several times over. With Lila, he firmly believes that he's safe from her scheming since he already knows that she's a liar... and a bad one at that. Or so he thinks; Lila uses his underestimation of him to lure him into a false sense of security, setting a trap that he wanders right into... in fact, she's astounded upon seeing that he doesn't think twice about entering his bank account passwords right in front of her. After learning that his own father was Hawkmoth all along, Adrien begins defending his Archnemesis Dad by insisting nobody was really hurt by his reign of terror, since Ladybug's Miraculous Cure repaired all the physical damage done... provided, of course, that she was able to win the fight and purify the akumatizing butterfly. Not only does this turn public opinion against both of his identities (Adrien for being the son of a supervillain and Chat Noir for defending Hawkmoth), Gabriel has no problem blaming Adrien for the failure of his schemes. Including the fact that the only "emergency account" Adrien had access to was a secret, hidden account that Gabriel intended to use for more evil, with him angrily lashing out at his son upon learning Adrien accidentally handed Lila the opportunity to clean it out. When he goes after Mayura, he offers her a hand up after seeing that she's Nathalie. She rewards this gesture by swiping the Black Cat Ring right off his finger, which gets misinterpreted by the media as him willingly handing over the Ring. Adrien also finds himself hard-pressed to convince anyone of the truth. Not only is the truth not helping his case by revealing his self-centered attitude, others naturally question Who Would Be Stupid Enough? to lower their guard so much around somebody they knew to be untrustworthy?

For a good while, he claims that his reasoning is that he'd finally gotten sick of the planet, he wanted to see the stars again. But as he gets to know you he tells you a parable about a young man who one day finds a snake in his village. He follows the snake, helping it away from the village and into a great desert. Without food or water to be seen, the snake bites the young man. The snake then asked why the man followed him, and the man replies; "Did I follow you? I thought I was leading you away from everyone else!" Considering that the player character is Darth Revan, that parable might or might not apply to you. At any rate, this particular snake can choose whether or not to bite.

So okay, you spare them... two seconds later they get a second wind and try to kill you again. And no, they are not ever scripted to "yield permanently". In the Dragonborn DLC, one of the bosses you have to defeat, Ildari Sarothril, is a mage apprentice who served as a test subject for her master, who abandoned her after thinking she had died in the experiment. When you track her back, you find out she had since been found and nursed back to health by a group of miners. Having turned insane from the experiment, she repaid their kindness by killing most of them out of paranoia and turning the others into test subjects. Another one involving bandits- there's a cave to the north where a bandit group was slaughtered by hagravens. One bandit was captured instead, and begs you to free him. But if he is freed, he tries to kill you anyway.

Douglas won his match, and what was believed to be Rude's voice came over the sound system, saying that he'd take his mask off, but Douglas has to "give up the girl" (Francine) or he'd give Douglas "the ass-kicking of a lifetime." The masked man then walked out in Rude's trademark robe. Shane pushed Francine toward him. The masked man kissed Francine, who, believing it was Rude, appeared to pass out in delight. Then, one of Douglas's riot guards took off his helmet, revealing himself to be Rick Rude. The masked man unmasked and took off his robe, revealing, instead, Douglas's Triple Threat ally "Bulldozer" Brian Lee, who then choke-slammed Douglas. Douglas, Chris Candido, and a clearly disgusted Francine ran off, vowing revenge.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_5c208620	comment	The episode "Action Figures" of Superman: The Animated Series featured a couple of kids sheltering an amnesiac Metallo, who they think is a good robot who can be like Superman. In the beginning, he does do good and helps save the kids and trucker, but as more of his memories return he reverts to his evil persona. In "gratitude" for helping him, he tries to kidnap the kids and leave the volcanic island their parents are researching. When one of the children tries to appeal to goodness, he replies "Steel Man? Steel Man is dead! And so are you, Superman!" Lois Lane later consoles the children with "He was good, when he was with you. Now all the goodness in him is buried, along with the rest of him".

The Farmer and the Viper / int_5c5077d4	comment	Cain: Katsuki repeatedly rewards Izuku's efforts to reach out to him with vehemence and violence. For instance, at one point Katsuki breaks his own fingers while trying to punch Izuku. Izuku offers him a hand up, asking if he's okay; Katsuki interprets this as mocking, grabs his hand, and uses his Quirk to heat up the sprinkler water on Izuku's skin. This also applies to his relationship with All Might. While Katsuki doesn't make the best first impression upon Toshinori, especially when he threatens to reveal his secret unless he lets him join their training sessions at the beach, Toshinori still sincerely tries to teach him what it truly means to be a hero. But Katsuki repays his efforts with Malicious Slander, trying to convince Inko that Toshinori's a predator abusing her son so that he can have All Might all to himself.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_66428c0a	comment	Discussed in the novel Hannibal. Barney, Hannibal Lecter's primary handler during his incarceration at the asylum, defies any notion that he fraternized with Lecter. According to Barney, Lecter is nobody's friend. Lecter was civil with Barney, genuinely thanked him for treating him decently, and sent him a generous tip after his escape. Despite that, Barney had no delusions regarding Lecter's nature—at the end of the book, when he spots Lecter and Starling at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, he hauls ass out of town that very same night, knowing full well that Lecter wouldn't hesitate to kill him in order to ensure his freedom. Jack Crawford gives Clarice Starling a similar warning after Lecter's escape. In the end, Clarice decides to rescue Lecter from being tortured to death, and in return Lecter brainwashes her with hypnosis and drugs in an attempt to reprogram her with the personality of his dead sister. Clarice is able to resist total Loss of Identity but still ends up with memories removed and a radical change in personality.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_6744d821	comment	The Owl House: In "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", Luz tries to help Kikimora deal with some family issues despite Eda rightfully pointing out that she can't be trusted. While Kiki is initially willing to go along with their Faked Kidnapping plan, she turns on them the second she's given the false promise of a promotion and tries to kill Luz as a gift to Belos. In Luz's defense, she was clearly projecting her own familial problems that she was having at the time onto Kikimora and all of her past attempts at helping her enemies had worked out pretty well for her. In "Elsewhere and Elsewhen", Luz and Lilith travel back in time to help Philip Wittebane find the Collector, in the hope that he can teach them how to make a new portal to the human realm. When they get there however, they discover that Philip only took them along to use them as a sacrifice in order to distract the Stonesleeper guarding the Collector's chamber. Not only does Philip not show any remorse afterwards, he offers them information on the portal in exchange for using them as bait again, and goes on a furious tirade against all witches when Lilith quite understandably breaks his nose. After his plans come to fruition in "King's Tide", Belos no longer needs any of his underlings, no matter how much they've dedicated to his cause. When Kikimora delivers Hunter, the runaway Golden Guard (actually Luz in disguise) to him and tries to bargain for Hunter's position as Belos's right hand, Belos tells her very politely how much he values her contributions. The Collector, the one who gave Belos the Draining Spell and taught him all the powerful magic he knows now, did so only because Belos promised to free them from their imprisonment in the Inbetween. As soon as the Draining Spell starts to actually work however, Belos goes back on his promise, citing the fact that he doesn't want the Collector giving said powerful magic to anyone else. When the Collector begins to scream in rage, Belos picks up the mirror they use to communicate with the outside world, and throws it down a pit. After the Collector pulls a Heelâ€“Face Turn in "Watching and Dreaming", Belos takes over the Titan's heart, subsequently burying the Isles in corrosive Meat Moss and forming a gigantic Kaiju body with a Breath Weapon that spreads even more corruption. The Collector, having learned a lesson about kindness and forgiveness, tries to put this into practice on Belos, telling him they forgive him and hugging his face. As soon as they turn their back and start flying back down to Luz, King and Eda, Belos tries to shoot them In the Back, which only fails because Luz flies in to take the bullet for them.

Peek repaid him by sneaking a camera into the Batmobile, finding out Batman's secret identity, and planning to expose him and Bruce to the world just to further his already lucrative career. Terry feels guilty that his former friend Charlie went to jail for a few years while he only got juvie for a few months just because he was underage at the time, so he pulls some strings and sets Charlie up with a job at Bruce Wayne's company, to Bruce's reluctance. Charlie repays him by stealing from the company for a rival corporation, which had been his goal all along. It later happens again in a Sequel Episode after Charlie expresses remorse for his criminal ways and is depressed at being turned into a hideous monster. Terry promises him leniency with the police and finding a way to cure him if Charlie turns himself, but it turns out it was all a ploy by Charlie to get his criminal associates caught so he could take over his operation, and in the end tries to kill Terry to tie up a loose end.

Scrooge saves his life and even shares his camp with him. The Afrikaner repays him by stealing all his supplies in the middle of the night and leaves him stranded in the wastelands. It's even lampshaded with Scrooge calling the Afrikaner a viper; he had experience dealing with unapologetic crooks, but this kind of betrayal genuinely infuriated him. Used in the "Scrooge McDuck" story The Horseradish Treasure (September 1953) by Carl Barks. Scrooge and the nephews are trapped at sea with their enemy Chisel McSue. When Chisel seems about to drown, Scrooge contemplates whether he should let him die or not. Against his better judgment, Scrooge rescues Chisel. Shortly after, Chisel attempts to murder Scrooge... by drowning him.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_6a8ce345	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: While Aang, Sifu Thou Shalt Not Kill, consistently saves Zuko, Sokka, who's spent his whole life in a war, asks why they should help him in the first season finale, given that all the previous times they've saved him or shown mercy he's tried to capture Aang. This is brought to a head when Katara bonds with him over their (supposedly) dead mothers and offers to try healing his scar... only to face him battling alongside his sister in a battle that temporarily cost Aang his life. In the third season Aang was ultimately proven right, though - he needed a firebending teacher at the exact same time Zuko did his Heelâ€“Face Turn. In a less extreme example, during Zuko's exile in the Earth Kingdom, a woman and her mother take him and Iroh in for dinner. As they leave, Zuko steals their Ostrich Horse. Also, in "Imprisoned", Haru uses his Earthbending to save an old man from a cave-in. Later that night, the old man rats him out to the Fire Nation and gets him arrested. In "Zuko Alone", Zuko has a brief stay with a poor farm family after covering for their son and driving off some extortionist Earth Kingdom soldiers. In the end, after the boy is taken hostage by the soldiers (admittedly in part because of a keepsake Zuko gave him), Zuko fights them to save him from conscription. Unfortunately for Zuko, a combination of his firebending in battle and his own declaration of his identity sees him shunned by everyone in town, even the boy who saw him like a hero not 3 minutes ago. In Season 3 of The Legend of Korra, the heroes meet an orphan named Kai, who claims that his parents were killed fighting a gang of bandits. The law enforcement officers chasing him say that he actually was adopted by a wealthy family, and "thanked" them for their kindness by clearing them out of all their valuables and making a run for it. Kai ultimately proves to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold following some Character Development in later episodes — he notes he probably deserves the suspicion he received up to the final episode of the season.

It seems to work, and Luna eventually restores Falla's lost chrono magic to give her a chance.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_6db6af71	comment	After a few more months of making trouble for Douglas for his own amusement (including pulling up Francine's dress to reveal her panties during Douglas's match with Chris Chetti at Buffalo Invasion on May 17th), he surprisingly turned on Tommy Dreamer and the Sandman in a six-man-tag against Rob Van Dam, Sabu and Jerry Lawler at Heatwave on July 19th, giving the Triple Threat hand sign. Douglas defeated ECW World Heavyweight Champion Sabu and Terry Funk in a three-way-dance to win the title at ECW's second PPV, Hardcore Heaven, on August 17th. This led to Rude becoming a manager for the Triple Threat (now, Douglas, Candido, and Bam Bam Bigelow, w/Francine) and handpicking opponents for him, as thanks for Douglas giving Rude one night with Francine. Douglas defeated Al Snow, Balls Mahoney, and Phil LaFon. Then came the October 16th show at the Elk's Lodge in Queens, NY. Rude told Douglas that he had found him an opponent who "ran roughshod over the WWF." Douglas asked, "You got me the Boy Toy?"note This was during the time when, due to the inter-promotional relationship between ECW and WWE, Rude was going back and forth working with both Douglas and his hated enemy Shawn Michaels, stemming from Douglas's run-ins with the Clique in WWE in 1995 as Dean Douglas. Then, "Welcome to the Jungle" started playing, with Douglas doing a great Eye Take, as BAM BAM BIGELOW was revealed to be Douglas's opponent, meaning that Rude had tricked Douglas TWICE in SIX MONTHS.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1 season 8: Replicator Carter approaches the SGC and Carter in particular with a sob story about how poorly Fifth is treating her and asks for their help in stopping him, but warns that he's developed an immunity to the Disruptor and offers to help them overcome that immunity. They were rightfully wary, but in the end, Carter couldn't help but aid her Replicator clone. There never was a Disruptor immunity, the whole thing was a ploy to study the Disruptor in order to develop one. With the immunity in hand Replicarter lured Fifth into range of the Alpha Site where he was killed by a Disruptor Satellite so that she could take sole control of all Replicators, which she would subsequently make immune to the only real threat.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_70c7b114	comment	In one episode of Gilligan's Island, a hardened criminal came to the island and proceeded to kidnap Mrs. Howell, then Ginger, and then Mary Ann, demanding a ransom for their return each time. (This was one of the few times that chest full of cash Mr. Howell had brought proved useful.) When Mary Ann was released, she told the others that he told her he planned to do the same to the other four, and then start over again, so the Professor set a trap for the criminal, and it worked. As the castaways held the criminal in a makeshift cell while the Professor worked on his ship, Ginger felt sorry for him and asked if she could speak to him, remembering how she once acted in a movie about how a psychiatrist helped a criminal reform. Eventually, the others consented (except the Professor, who had his doubts) and Ginger's amateur therapy seemed to work; for a while, he seemed remorseful and willing to help. Unfortunately, it was an act; at the party they had before they planned to leave, the guy proceeded to steal their jewelry and then escape on his own. That's when Ginger realized that that's how the movie ended.

Kobra repays the favour by killing her, calling her weak and saying that she should have left him dead. The other way around is the same too, in Kobra's ending, he also had the Elder Gods revive Kira, who proceeds to kill him with a kiss of death.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe: In the episode "Message Received", it seems like all Steven's efforts to befriend Peridot and make her see the beauty of Earth were in vain, as it seems she still intends to betray them and contact Yellow Diamond. Garnet tells Steven that some people aren't worthy of being patient with. As it turns out, Peridot does not betray them, nor did she ever intend to. Her plan (which could have been articulated better) was to convince Yellow Diamond of the Earth's value. Unfortunately, Yellow Diamond turns out to not be the person Peridot thought she was. As a result, Peridot defects to the Crystal Gems entirely. The episode "Bubbled" has Steven floating in space with a Ruby Soldier he calls Eyeball. After her gem gets cracked—which can be fatal—Steven pulls Eyeball into his protective bubble and uses his powers to fix her gem. Using that healing power makes Eyeball realize Steven really does have Rose Quartz's gem, as he'd been trying to tell her, so Eyeball pulls a knife and tries to carve Steven's gem out so she can be a hero for capturing Rose Quartz. In the episode "Room for Ruby", the character Navy crashed in front of Steven's house from space, begging for forgiveness and asking to join the Crystal Gems, claiming the other Rubies were mean to her. Steven and Peridot let her join with no hesitation, while Lapis has suspicions. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that Lapis is right, when Navy steals her ship and reveals she enjoyed deceiving the Gems because she wanted to see their faces once she revealed her true motives.

His character development arc reveals that his kind and idealistic side still exists, it was just buried and Judy's faith in him helps that resurface. At the end Nick abandons his con-mammal ways and joins Judy as a police officer in the ZPD.

In fact, both share their similar backgrounds of older siblings ignoring them and even quickly agree to a Fourth-Date Marriage despite meeting each other on the same day, something which they get called on. It doesn't stop his plot to seize control of Arendelle by faking his romance with Anna and doesn't soften his attitude towards her â€” in fact, when he reveals histrue colors, he cruelly mocks her for quickly agreeing to marry him "just like that," which made his plan easier than expected. It briefly left her despondent, but Anna realizes there are others (Olaf and Kristoff) who still care for her. Hans has been confirmed to be a "frozen-hearted" man and a subversion of the classical Prince Charming Disney is known for. Also, Hans is later revealed to be Anna's Evil Counterpart, Foil, and Shadow Archetype, as while she manages to reconcile with Elsa after 13 years of separation and retains her optimism, he remains bitter against his 12 brothers and makes it clear to Anna that he will never reconcile with them.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Deja Q", Q actually uses this against the crew when he's turned mortal by the continuum, choosing a human form and going to them for help, assuming that their values and willingness to forgive "almost any offense" will mean they are willing to protect him from the variety of less-moral creatures he has tormented in the past, and who are willing to take advantage of his newfound humanity. He's not entirely right in this assumption, but he also subverts his own role as the viper; after Data risks his life to save Q, Q is moved to the point where he decides to risk his own life for the good of the ship. "I Borg" is all about this trope, with Dr. Crusher arguing to provide mercy for a wounded Borg drone, while the rest of the crew consider kindness to an inherently evil creature to be self-destructive. It turns out that the "viper" in this case can actually change when given the opportunity. In "The Next Phase", The Enterprise undertakes a mission of mercy to their enemy, the Romulans, but the rescued Romulans merely use the opportunity to try to destroy the Enterprise. Star Trek: Voyager: In the two-part episode "Scorpion", Captain Janeway plans a temporary alliance with the Borg in order to combat Species 8472. When she asks for Chakotay's personal opinion, he relates the parable of "The Scorpion and The Frog" mentioned in the page quotes, though with a fox in place of the frog. Oddly, the story as told is more tragic than the normal telling, with the scorpion apologizing for being unable to help its nature, when the Borg would have no such compunctions.

First, one of the female leads dies during a fight with her abusive boyfriend. Once in Hell, she comes across a hoodlum locked in jail and kindly returns his knife so he can use it to pick the lock and get free. Once freed he convinces her to take part in his "knife-throwing act", where he sings a song mocking her before throwing a dagger into her heart. Finally, the story is summarized in a second, innuendo-heavy song about a trusting young frog falling for the "prick" of a scorpion's tail.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_8ec33a87	comment	Xenoblade Chronicles 2: This forms a big part of Amalthus's backstory and Start of Darkness. While he always had a deeply-rooted feeling of misanthropy stemming from the childhood trauma of fleeing for his life from enemy soldiers, his mother pushing him off a hill to help him escape and dying at their hands, and him proceeding to smash their sleeping heads in with a rock on finding her corpse, it was only amplified by growing up and witnessing further acts of people taking advantage of or being cruel to each other. One of his major breaking points was when he took pity on a wounded soldier and helped heal his wounds, only to later discover that same man robbing a home. By the time he intervened, the man had already killed the mother in the house and was about to kill her infant. In a cold fury he then kills the man, only able to then cradle the crying infant and wonder to himself if this world is hell and if it's somehow all part of The Architect's "grand design". This leads him to climbing the World Tree to seek out answers, and what he finds out or rather, what he interprets as an answer just sends him downhill.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_90c73dda	comment	Animorphs: It's revealed that a case of this is what turned the Yeerks into the Galactic Conquerors they are. On an expedition to the Yeerk homeworld, the Andalite Prince Seerow felt sorry for the Yeerks, who were fully sentient, but limited by the need for their hosts and Kandrona rays. Thus, he gave them access to Andalite technology and taught them writing, science, astronomy, and even how to build their own portable Kandrona generators. The Yeerks thanked Seerow by betraying him, escaping into space, and enslaving multiple races and civilizations to use as host bodies. It's because of this that the Andalites created a law, aptly titled "Seerow's Kindness," that expressly forbade any Andalites from sharing their technology and secrets with non-Andalites. Of course, the series takes the view that the Andalites learned the wrong lesson from Seerow's mistake. The Animorphs are only able to fight back against the Yeerks because an Andalite illegally gave them morphing technology, the Hork-bajir could have been protected from the Yeerks if the Andalites were more willing to arm them, and the Taxxons are ultimately convinced to turn on the Yeerks by giving them morphing technology — a deal that the Andalites almost ruin by rejecting it out of hand. To some extent this even occurs with some of the Yeerks themselves, as Cassie letting them acquire the morphing cube causes many Yeerks to desert the army as they no longer need to capture hosts when they can morph a body of their own.

Myndo completely misses the point, and names her supposed masterstroke to bring the Great Houses and Clans to their knees "Operation Scorpion." It fails miserably, and does indeed leave Myndo's successor as Primus working overtime to keep ComStar relevant, despite the shattering victory of the ComGuards over the Clans at the Battle of Tukayyid. ** Count Nicholas Fisk is this in the later Fed-Com Civil War timeline. Despite supporting Katherine Steiner-Davion, who at this point has lapsed into full tyranny, and participated in a couple of war crimes himself, Fisk is pardoned by the victorious Victor Steiner-Davion and allowed to remain Count of Odessa. Later, Fisk actually caught working with the fanatical Word of Blake splinter faction despite being spared worse punishments earlier. Adam Steiner, now Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth, is both too Genre Savvy and too cranky to tolerate the shenanigans of the Fisk family and strips the entire line of their noble titles and assets, nipping further potential betrayals in the bud.

Near the end, Wheeler (a Serial Killer truck driver) relays to Walker (a Serial Killer hitchhiker) and their mutual victim Stacia the story in the form of a snake and a blonde woman. Walker already knows the punchline because he's heard the "scorpion and the frog" version. The point Wheeler makes is that he knows full well that he picked up another serial killer and expects him to show his true nature. The subversion, of course, is that he's also a serial killer, so it would essentially be a scorpion helping another scorpion.

How does Zamasu repay him? By trying to murder him so he can become a full Supreme Kai, use the Time Rings, and enact a plan to wipe out all mortal life.

In exchange for a senzu bean to restore his energy and heal his wounds, Moro promises to submit to the Galactic Patrol and return to prison for the rest of his days. After being healed, he immediately tries to attack Goku once again and declares he has no intention of stopping his rampage.

It's also mentioned that the hedge fund managers aren't vindictive, just uncaring; rather than trusting a scorpion not to sting, it's more like trusting a fire not to burn.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: A young Catelyn Tully saved her friend and admirer Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish from being killed by Brandon Stark in a duel for her hand. Years later, he would repay her by betraying her husband Ned Stark and causing his death as well as her own. It is, however, implied her plea for Littlefinger's life came off as belittling to his character. House Hollard was all but wiped out by The Mad King had it not been for Ser Barristan Selmy's plea to spare a young Dontos. Years later, Dontos would help Sansa Stark escape to the Vale, only to be killed by Petyr Baelish, who said he was going to sell her out to the Lannisters once the money to pay him off had been spent. The Tyrells had been opponents of the Baratheons during Robert's Rebellion but bent the knee when the Targaryens fell. They weren't punished (but they weren't allowed at court), and Renly was even fostered at Highgarden. They repaid the Baratheons by corrupting Renly into trying to take the throne, leading to his death. They then allied with the Lannisters to defeat Stannis Baratheon at Blackwater Bay. House Bolton, (whose standard is a man being flayed alive), has apparently been the Viper for the Starks and the North in general for generations with it surviving by keeping its more heinous acts mostly quiet and relegated to mere rumor. By the time of the War of the Five Kings, the current head Roose Bolton is given a prominent command by Robb Stark, and immediately starts sabotaging his allies by sacrificing more loyal soldiers in battles and making secret overtures to their Lannister enemies. It all culminates in the Red Wedding that sees Roose Bolton conspire to murder Robb and several heads of Northern Houses, in order to gain control of the North with the Lannisters' blessing. Though notably, later in the series, this earns House Bolton the hatred of all the North who no longer tolerate them and are ready to kill them off for good. Roose Bolton's legitimate son, Domeric, was ecstatic upon finding out that he had a half-brother, not caring that he was a bastard, and decided to visit him so they could form a relationship. Unfortunately, said half-brother was Ramsay Snow, who quickly killed Domeric so he could take his place as heir to the Boltons. Daenerys Targaryen saves Mirri Maz Duur from being raped by Drogo's khalasar after the destruction of the village. Mirri repays this by tricking her into making a deal that kills off her unborn son in exchange for resurrecting her dying husband into a vegetative state. When Daenerys demands answers for this, Mirri says that she had experienced horrors during her village's destruction and wanted to take revenge against Drogo and anyone associated with him. Daenerys saving her doesn't change the fact that she is his wife, meaning she is a prime target. Catelyn fears that Jon Snow is going to be this, thinking that a noble upbringing, instead of that of a bastard, would go to his head, leading him to take over his legitimate siblings' inheritance as a Stark. Fortunately, Jon inherits his father's honor and has nothing but respect for all of his siblings. He even refuses to become the Lord of Winterfell after his brothers have all (seemingly) died because his sister Sansa is still alive.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: Kaya's family takes in an apparently down-and-out man and makes him their butler. He is secretly the pirate Captain Kuro, who develops a long-term plan; kill the entire family, steal their fortune, and retire on it. Done likely by accident with Aokiji and Robin: Aokiji lets her live in spite of his order from the World Government, but, in spite of his warning to keep out of trouble, she's currently part of a crew whose leader declared war on the World Government. Of course, the fact she had a bounty on her made it rather difficult to keep a low profile, even if she wanted to (and it's shown in flashbacks she did try to, multiple times), and Luffy proved to be the only person both friendly and powerful enough to protect her from the government agents hunting her down. Don Krieg and his crew were starving after their fleet was destroyed by Dracule Mihawk. Sanji fed them over everyone else's protests. Don Krieg "thanked" him by attacking him the moment he felt satiated and declared his intent to claim the floating restaurant as his new flagship. Sanji likely knew this would be the outcome, but having nearly starved to death once himself, wouldn't wish such a fate on anyone. Gin, Kriegâ€™s own subordinate, also didnâ€™t intend for this to happen and didnâ€™t suspect heâ€™d try to take the Baratie. In the Fishman Island arc, Robin references this trope; when Jimbei asks her to free the slaves Hammond is using for his Slave Tank, Robin is disgusted by what Hammond is doing but expresses concern that the freed slaves will attack both her allies and enemies, hating Fishman Island after what they've been through. Jimbei says that they can simply fight them off if this happens and that he can't stand Hody's men acting like the Celestial Dragons any longer, persuading Robin to free the slaves, who help the Straw Hats against the New Fishman Pirates. Still in the Fishman Island arc, a flashback gives us a variation, in that kindness isn't repaid with evil, but still with unkindness. After the pirate Fisher Tiger brought the little ex-slave girl Koala back to her home, he was ambushed by Marine soldiers, who knew he would be coming. The reason being that Koala's hometown sold Tiger out to the Marines, in exchange for not taking Koala back to the nobles who enslaved her (though the latter didn't know about it); a decision possibly made easier by the fact that Tiger was a fishman. Sure, it's not kind of them to do that, but considering their reasons, it can't be called "evil", and it's pretty hard to blame them.

So Abdil repays Sinbad by convincing the thief Cassim to help him steal Sinbad's palace and artifacts, have Sinbad and everyone else sealed in a dungeon, and later as the heroes escaped, releasing hordes and hordes of vampire bats to kill everyone. Sinbad lampshades it to the gang by saying "I should've left Abdil alone in the desert instead of saving him."

Then, at the dump incinerator a few minutes later, it's Lotso's turn to repay the favor. Instead, he leaves Buzz, Woody, and all the toys to burn to death. Unfortunately for Lotso, karma makes sure he pays for the act by a garbage man, who finds him and attaches him to the grille of his truck.

Jiraiya attempts to prevent this from becoming a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. After Team Ten betrays Konoha anyway during the Crush attempt, Jiraiya reflects upon the story, wondering "Is this like that story about a man saving a snake, only to be bitten for his kindness? For expecting a reward from the wicked?"

During Po's imprisonment, the kids attempt to justify this by explaining that they have no other option besides this, due to being held captive by their thieving leader. Po offers to break them out of their situation, and leads them back to the Jade Palace, where they appear to be settling in just fine... that is until they trick Po again, by imprisoning him in the Palace's dungeon so that the leader thief can steal a precious ruby. It isn't until Po points out they cannot split a single ruby between each other for profit, that the kids turn on their leader once again, now having completed the aversion of the trope.

Specifically, Bayushi smiled after he heard the story, telling Shinsei that he understood the meaning of the story. His eyes revealed that he didn't really have enlightenment. So Shinsei hit him in the mouth. Bayushi then covered his mouth, because it was what had lied. The Scorpion Clan wear masks in memory of the event, and to make it easier to lie. It's hard to believe that a spymaster and the man that taught an Empire to deceive somehow couldn't stop smiling.

A rival faction is opposed, with one mob boss who's missing several fingers mentioning a pet alligator he tried to raise as an allegory. Although an undercover Fed urges Bolan to take the deal he rejects it, saying he can't let the Mafia even think that they've won.

The killer will humbly ask for your aid, and you have the option of pulling him to safety or letting him fall. Should you choose the former, the killer will give you a sincere-sounding word of thanks before immediately resuming his attempts to kill you. Even the most Genre Blind player would see this outcome a mile away, but the killer is so Faux Affably Evil that most players are tempted to at least take a chance on saving him.

She is then told a ghost story about a woman in black who asks for transport, then spirits her gondolier away. That night, the woman in black asks Akari for a ride to a graveyard. Akari takes her (This is notably not the only example of Too Dumb to Live, because the anime consistently encourages naivety). Akari goes on her way, but the woman, in a weird subversion, grabs her hand and tries to spirit her away, specifically because she was impressed with Akari's kindness. The anime implies this to be a bad thing but never makes it really clear. Cait Sith saves her, though, so we never find out.

Daxos is taken in by the city-state of Qarth (which is usually closed to outsiders) and proceeds to work his way up to a position of leadership- at which point, he has the other leaders killed and declares himself king. However, Daxos attributes his treachery to his love of Qarth- he agrees with the slain leaders that it is a great city but feels that it will grow stagnant if allowed to continue to be isolated from the rest of the world under their leadership. Played straight in "Breaker of Chains". Arya and the Hound are given food and shelter by a kindly farmer and his daughter, who tells the Hound that he has silver to pay him to stay as a laborer and protector should he choose. Instead, the Hound robs the man the next day. When a furious Arya calls him out on this, he replies that kindly weak folk like them won't survive the winter, so there's no point in letting them keep the money when he can use it. In a nice Dramatic Irony, the Hound is later seriously injured and is robbed of the silver by Arya. After quelling the rebellion of Ellaria and the Sand Snakes, Prince Doran Martell gives them a second chance, which they promptly use to kill Myrcella Baratheon, Prince Trystane's fiancÃ©e. And then they turn on him too. Unlike in the books, Cat becomes aware of Petyr's involvement in Ned's death and wishes she had let Brandon kill him years ago.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_bc810180	comment	Occurs in a horrifying manner in the 52 miniseries set in the year after Infinite Crisis. Osiris, the brother-in-law of Black Adam, the (sort of) Evil Counterpart of Captain Marvel, takes in a lonely anthropomorphic crocodile as a pet/family member whom he names Sobek. For most of the series, Sobek is depicted as a cowardly yet friendly fellow with a huge appetite. He is actually one of the Four Horsemen of Apokolips, Eldritch Abominations that hail from Apokolips and given bodies by the Mad Scientists that also star in 52. "Sobek" is actually Yurrd the Unknown, Lord of Hunger. Sobek is a Big Eater because his hunger can only be satisfied with the flesh of a Marvel. He manages to trick Osiris into depowering himself while Osiris is guilt-ridden after accidentally killing an attacker. Sobek eats Osiris alive; the depiction in the comics is rather horrific. When confronted with this by Isis, Osiris' sister and wife of Black Adam, what is the traitor's response?

The Farmer and the Viper / int_bcadd7cb	comment	The Imperium of Man loves this fable, since their state religion is founded on Absolute Xenophobia. The Tau, meanwhile, are xenophiles, so they tend to be more willing to coexist with aliens (including humans). Sometimes, such as with the Kroot, it mostly kind of works. Other times, not so much; for example, the human population of Kronos rewarded the Tau for their public works projects and Ork control efforts by siding en masse with Lukas Alexander's Imperial Guard. If the Tau win the Dark Crusade campaign, it's implied that a covert sterilization program is deployed to make sure they don't pull it twice, which is certainly a harsh option, but given that in the reverse circumstances the Imperium would have either scoured the planet from orbit or put most of them to the torch it's hard to view it as too over-the-top.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_bcdcf629	comment	Played back and forth in a comic for Transformers: Animated where Ratchet is shown helping a Decepticon suffering from "Cosmic Rust", a disease some Decepticons released in the middle of a battle. Ratchet does it on the grounds that while the commanders knew the score for doing such a thing, it's no reason to abandon a soldier. Then it turns out the guy was the one that made the disease, and infects Ratchet with it after being cured. However in the process, they made a cure for the disease that Ratchet was able to take back, and he'll probably be able to save plenty of Autobots if they can manage to replicate it.

We're led to believe this involves provoking Gilda with party pranks until she loses her temper and Rainbow can see how bad she is, but it turns out Rainbow herself set up the pranks and it was only chance that Gilda ran into all of them; Pinkie's plan was simply to throw a party for her in the hopes that it would get her to lighten up. Needless to say, it fails miserably, but at least Rainbow does learn Gilda's true nature and kicks her to the curb. Four seasons later, it ends up subverted when Gilda reappears and gets her redemption. "The Hearth's Warming Club": In an in-universe fairytale told by Smolder, a cunning dragoness is taken in by the kindly old Dragon Lord and responds by exploiting his kindness to usurp and banish him.

Of course, as an indie darling and a good performer, he was face for over a year (and not just with indie fans) since hitting WWE...and then he assaulted fan favorite Jeff Hardy and stole his title after Jeff had been champion for about five minutes. As part of a Continuity Nod, he did basically the same thing in WWE. This time, with a very interesting result.

Raditz begs Goku for mercy, promising to leave Earth if Goku does so; over Piccolo's protests, Goku grants Raditz's mercy... and Raditz promptly knocks Goku down and ruthlessly breaks his ribs, all while rubbing in his face how stupid it was of him to fall for it. When Gohan critically injures Raditz and Goku has him restrained so Piccolo can finish him off, Raditz tries the same trick again; unfortunately for him, Goku isn't dumb enough to fall for the same ploy twice. When Frieza is bisected by his own attack and begs Goku for help, Goku, after some debate, transfers a portion of his energy to Frieza to at least allow him to escape Namek's explosion (mostly out of Cruel Mercy). Frieza responds by openly mocking Goku and then — unable to accept his defeat — uses that very energy for one last-ditch attack; by this point, Goku has lost all patience with Frieza and blows him away. Dragon Ball Super: During the Future Trunks Saga, Gowasu did his best to help Zamasu, guide him to become a proper Supreme Kai, and get him to overcome his hatred of mortals. How does Zamasu repay him? By trying to murder him so he can become a full Supreme Kai, use the Time Rings, and enact a plan to wipe out all mortal life. Beerus is rightfully disgusted, sees Zamasu's actions as an In-Universe Moral Event Horizon, and personally kills Zamasu when he makes his move. Gowasu suffers it a second time in the manga when he gives Goku Black a Last-Second Chance. Black seems willing to accept his offer and takes his hand... and then immediately runs Gowasu through with his Laser Blade, openly calling him an idiot for thinking he could be swayed, especially since Black has already killed two different incarnations of Gowasu for the sake of his plans. Later on in the manga, Moro, who at this point in the story has rampaged across the universe and drained the life energy of countless beings, has been thoroughly defeated by Goku and is reduced to begging for his life. In exchange for a senzu bean to restore his energy and heal his wounds, Moro promises to submit to the Galactic Patrol and return to prison for the rest of his days. After being healed, he immediately tries to attack Goku once again and declares he has no intention of stopping his rampage.

As a pilgrim from the Glauxian brothers, it's his duty to help those in need, and he helps this murderous owl out of compassion, even catching mice and voles while he's used to catching mostly fish. Sadly, the very ungrateful Kludd murders Simon as soon as he's well enough to leave.

After the apprentice kills an abusive slaver (passing it off as not tolerating being insulted when the slaver assumed he was his master's property, but clearly being more upset about his abusing the slave girl) and frees his slave, he seems rather more concerned than Sith are supposed to about anyone, and once it's clear to the two she's force sensitive the apprentice requests she be allowed to come. The master reminds his apprentice of the rule of two within earshot of the girl... who promptly shoves the apprentice off a building to his death and joins the Sith with a smile on her face.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_e944602	comment	Invoked in Goblin Slayer; because this world's goblins are absolutely incapable of moral behavior, but possessed of enough base cunning to lie and feign otherwise, this invariably happens if someone is foolish enough to show a goblin mercy. These goblins become "Wanderers", roaming the land and migrating from nest to nest, teaching other goblins the various tactics that they saw used against themselves or their first nest — whilst many of them starve to death, those that survive make other goblin nests more dangerous, and often mature into more powerful forms themselves. This is especially true of goblin infants, who are seemingly born with the awareness of this tactic ingrained in them. Oh, and a Wanderer will always try to strike back at the person who showed them mercy the moment their guard is down, if they can. Our first exposure to a Goblin Lord is one who immediately attacked and murdered the adventurer that spared his life, and kept on doing just that, preying on the noble sentiments of adventurers. This is one of the reasons why the titular protagonist adheres to the exterminate-them-all philosophy; he knows that goblins cannot be redeemed.

Lois, assuming her awful parents were just being awful again, brings her brother home to live with her. It turns out he's a dangerous psychotic who kills fat people. He goes on a killing spree that ends with him trying to kill Peter. This was also the point of the episode where Peter befriends OJ Simpson.

Raditz begs Goku for mercy, promising to leave Earth if Goku does so; over Piccolo's protests, Goku grants Raditz's mercy... and Raditz promptly knocks Goku down and ruthlessly breaks his ribs, all while rubbing in his face how stupid it was of him to fall for it. When Gohan critically injures Raditz and Goku has him restrained so Piccolo can finish him off, Raditz tries the same trick again; unfortunately for him, Goku isn't dumb enough to fall for the same ploy twice. When Frieza is bisected by his own attack and begs Goku for help, Goku, after some debate, transfers a portion of his energy to Frieza to at least allow him to escape Namek's explosion (mostly out of Cruel Mercy). Frieza responds by openly mocking Goku and then — unable to accept his defeat — uses that very energy for one last-ditch attack; by this point, Goku has lost all patience with Frieza and blows him away.

He slaughters them and takes all their money purely because he was jealous of how happy they were. However, since Enishi wasn't irredeemable nor did he simply see the family as mere pawns to be used (normally the viper is the viper because they have no feelings for anyone and Enishi did it because of his jealousy not because it's a defining character trait), the trope is downplayed.

A little kid on a bicycle is circling around Combo as he's calling Skinny Pete for back up, and he warns the kid to get out of the area. Then, it turns out the kid was actually an underling of the two drug dealers staring him down and shoots Combo to death. In "Half Measures", Mike relays a story to Walt from back when he was a cop. There was a repeated case involving an horribly abusive alcoholic who would beat his wife senseless every time he got drunk. The wife was terrified of him and always refused to press charges, but Mike eventually got sick of the whole situation, drove the scumbag out into the desert, held a gun to his mouth, made a show of force as though he was going to kill him, and warned him never to touch her again or he wouldn't be so merciful next time. The man screamed and cried and crapped his pants, swearing he was never going to hit her again, but of course he almost immediately recants upon being released and beats his wife to death only two weeks later, and with incredible brutality at that. Mike interpreted the experience as a personal lesson: he should've done a "full measure" instead of just doing a "half measure".

The Farmer and the Viper / int_f7c8e36e	comment	This happens twice in Octopath Traveler, both times in Alfyn's Chapter 3. Alfyn meets a badly injured man named Miguel and treats his wounds, continuing even when he hears rumors that the man is a thief and murderer (on the condition that Miguel gives up his criminal life). Miguel "thanks" him by kidnapping a small boy for ransom and mocking Alfyn's bleeding heart, all without a shred of remorse. When the dust settles, the cynical apothecary Ogen recounts this happening to him in his backstory; he took a wanted criminal into his home and healed his wounds, only for the man to murder his wife.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_fa74198a	comment	In Megalo Box Nanbu is likened to a scorpion, with the implication that Nanbu is the sort of person who continues to betray and selfishly use others for his own ends. The whole story gets told in episode 10, after The Reveal that Nanbu's plan was to get Joe into Megalonia and then fix one of his matches to make money.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_fb7c549b	comment	Feralnette AU: Amelie formed several informal contracts with her best friend Emelie as a way of maintaining their connection despite Gabriel being a Control Freak. After Emelie mysteriously disappeared, Gabriel started exploiting those contracts, aiming to line his own pockets at Amelie's expense while trying to destroy her business. And he combined this all with a healthy helping of emotional extortion:

Kakashi takes Kurama back to Konoha to reward him for his help and help him land back on his feet. Kurama ends up kidnapping Naruto, the young son of Kakashi's late sensei. But Kurama is actually a Peggy Sue trying to rewrite the past who kidnapped Naruto because he couldn't stand to see the child version of his Only Friend be ignored, abused and kept ignorant of his heritage.

The Farmer and the Viper / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Deja Q", Q actually uses this against the crew when he's turned mortal by the continuum, choosing a human form and going to them for help, assuming that their values and willingness to forgive "almost any offense" will mean they are willing to protect him from the variety of less-moral creatures he has tormented in the past, and who are willing to take advantage of his newfound humanity. He's not entirely right in this assumption, but he also subverts his own role as the viper; after Data risks his life to save Q, Q is moved to the point where he decides to risk his own life for the good of the ship. "I Borg" is all about this trope, with Dr. Crusher arguing to provide mercy for a wounded Borg drone, while the rest of the crew consider kindness to an inherently evil creature to be self-destructive. It turns out that the "viper" in this case can actually change when given the opportunity. In "The Next Phase", The Enterprise undertakes a mission of mercy to their enemy, the Romulans, but the rescued Romulans merely use the opportunity to try to destroy the Enterprise.

Mega Man ultimately teams up with the former to stop the latter, and as Fire Man prepares to finish Namagem off while he's weakened, Mega Man convinces him to spare him. Namagem repays Fire Man for this with a heavily-damaging charged blast to the back while his guard is down, then makes his getaway while Mega Man is occupied with Fire Man's well-being, leading Mega Man to stop him by any means necessary the next time they meet.
