Probably a GRIMDARK setting like Warhammer 40,000, or repeated events to that effect.

You have to keep in mind that for Stanley, there was always a light at the end of the tunnel, whether it was he who could reach it or someone else. While in Troll Kingdom, he was good at not getting into altercations with the Bad Trolls, even if he screws up occasionally (the introduction secquence of the movie displays this clearly), and he always had his little garden with his beautiful flowers to look forward to.

He is caught, and if Gnorga had her way he would have been petrified and that would have been the end of that. But he got sent to Central Park instead, and despite his initial impressions it doesn't take him long to warm up to (and decorate!) the place. It helped that he made friends with Rosie and Gus.

He also survives Gnorga's efforts to destroy him until the final confrontation, where Gnorga compels Gus to stone Stanley before she succumbs to Stanley's Green Thumb and turns into a flower bush - but even then her attempt was in vain as Stanley gets revived by Gus anyway. He is understandably quite happy about that.

He then lives peacefully post-movie until the community, where he got exposed to both the Sailor Moon virus and the zombie mall event. But while those two events were very dangerous they also were a) temporary, b) didn't force Stanley to be alone, c) didn't take away any autonomy from him (even though the zombie mall nerfed him Thumb) and d) he did not personally witness death or horrific injury to anyone he cared about, nor did he suffer excessively. Then the water park, where he got to have fun! So, yeah.

Get rid of that light and his naivety and optimism will slowly die, though he'll never stop believing in dreams and that people can be good. It'd have to be a long time of nothing but bad things happening to good people, and quite frankly I'm not a terrible enough mun to inflict that on him. He's the lead of a children's movie. Sheesh.

tl;dr Yes, but I'm not letting that happen to him.
