I feel that ends up taking away from the character if they're suddenly ready to fight, especially if there hasn't been any setup for it.

Most works who spend time on this moment, it's usually a profound problem for the character where they need to grow and surpass. Every time you give an example it's always something really shallow and callous that when it does appear in a work it's just for laughs. If it's something that pointless, you're probably watching something bad.
