Re: Common tropes/cliches you hate
Xena with Gabrielle. At one point Gabrielle swears a non-killing oath because she doesn't like it and thinks she can live all high and mighty. It eventually leads to getting both herself and Xena killed (but only temporarily because Xena). When Gabrielle's resurrected, she takes on a much more sensible approach and kills to protect herself when the need arises.
Madoka Magica fits that to a point. One of the magical girls says she'll be different and better from all the other magical girls/choose a more virtuous path/acts all righteous and superior/etc. She soon enters a downwards spiral of depression with her becoming the very kind of monster she's fighting.
Same goes for another one of the magical girls. She's the most virtuous and "team mom" so to speak. But she can't handle any moral ambiguity. In an alternate timeline when she learns that they have a risk of becoming the monsters they fight, she starts murdering her team and then has to get murdered herself before she kills the rest. The casualties the group suffers from this pretty much wipes away any chance of that timeline ending as a happy one.
The time traveller of the group doesn't much stock or trust in her after that.
