In the sequel to Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse, Spiderman: Across the Spider Verse, Peter B. Parker says that “bad things are gonna happen; it makes us who we are.” At this moment, Peter is trying to give Miles a piece of wisdom that the bad things that happen to people do not always mean good things will not happen afterwards.

Miles lost his uncle, which only motivated him to defeat Kingpin as revenge for Aaron’s death, and to save his city. Mile’s ends up having a closer relationship to his father and uses the tragedy that was his uncle’s death as motivation to succeed in the future. A second example of a character's success after adversity is Peter B. Parker. Peter got divorced from his wife, M.J, after an argument about having children or not.

Oprah has faced all this discrimination, and abuse, but still came on top, proving to everyone that even if one is confronted by adversity, you can overcome them. Oprah has used her story to spread awareness about toxic homes and has donated to hundreds of organizations to help with children's education, the empowerment of women and families all over the world. Oprah had taken what has been dreadful and traumatizing for her and used it to help others and herself thrive for the future. Overcoming adversity is seen in real life, and in a number of different types of movies as well. An example from another movie is Tangled, the protagonist Rapunzel is taken away from her parents, who happen to be the king and queen, for her magic, and long hair. Rapunzel grows up with her captor, who says that she is Rapunzel’s mother, having no clue that she is a princess and spends 18 years locked up in a tower. (Tangled) In the end she is reunited with her parents at the cost of her magic hair that had to be cut in order to escape her captor
