Explanation:

Let's start by explaining what situational irony is. In simple and brief words, here, actions have an opossite effect,so basically it means that the audience don't see it coming, and thus, it is a contray outcome.

As you can see, in the two examples that are the best scenarios explaining this literary device, you can see that everything is supposed to be perfect; the perfect armor to block arrows, and the wish to not ever be killed by a man, then, who would've known that at the end, a stronger arrow would have injured him, and also, who would've known that a woman would have killed him?

The other scenarios, aren't possible, the first one because it is very intuitive that the outcome could've been that, the second option although could've worked for a good scenario too, isn't possible, as the background of this could've probably led you to think that it was his twin brother. And the final scenario, isn't possible as the outcome is actually what is expected, another story would've been if the dog had killed him, instead.

An evil wizard gains a powerful wish that says he can never be killed by any man. The gods send a  woman to kill him.

Aking who wears armor that can deflect arrows is injured by a stronger arrow.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
