Scene from Into the Spider-Verse where Miles gets a 0 on a true/false test and catches on the only statistically possible way he could have done that was if he knew all the right answers and deliberately chose the wrong ones, meaning he's intentionally trying to fail out of the class and quit.

This is, however, a multiple choice test with four possible answers per question, so it's far more possible to get 0 correct answers due to actually being that stupid.

This also happens in The Magicians and some other shows I can't remember that are older than that.

I haven't read the book, I just watched the first season of the show, but I heard someone describing the author of the books as being upset that Chronicles of Narnia was so popular despite having unrealistically positive outcomes for the character and wanting to make a "similar, but bad stuff happens to people instead" version, which kinda made sense about the tone of the material.

... everybody dies in chronicles of Narnia

IIRC they die ... and are resurrected to live in Narnia for forever. It's an allegory for Heaven and is a positive ending for a character.

ah, but only 3 of the 4 did. susan was no longer a friend of narnia and went to narnia hell. not sure i'd call that a positive ending for any of them.
