Re: What are some of the most unrealistic character survivals in media?

[(Anonymous)]

Like 80% of the physically traumatic stuff that happens to non-enhanced superheroes in superhero movies. You really just have to turn off the part of your brain that knows how fragile human beings are. Not that humans don't occasionally survive insane things that absolutely should've killed them; it happens. But most of the time shit just kills us, and I often get frustrated with the way the totally normal, non-enhanced superheroes are treated as though they have the same impossible resilience as the enhanced supers. My brain is like, "NO. They just died at least three times in that one scene alone. AT LEAST."

This is actually one of my big peeves about ensemble superhero movies in particular. You need to scale things up for your indestructible types, sure, but don’t forget to scale it back DOWN for the breakable humans, thank you.

I do agree this is an issue a lot. But on the other hand, some "enhanced" superheroes like Iron Man or Batman aren't actually enhanced apart from technology. Iron Man loses his suit, he's a normal human. Batman's suit really only enhances him to a certain point, he's mostly just really smart. And technology can fail, and does take damage. I feel equally that things like Iron Man's suit should show damage from some of the battles and then Tony should start to get injured inside of the suit.

AYRT - No argument from me, it bothers me how indestructible Iron Man is, too. I mean, at least with him there's this paper-thin excuse of, like, somehow the suit is just impossibly shock absorbent! Tony Stark is a genius at mechanical engineering (and basically all sciences, lol) and he has basically unlimited funds to throw at his projects, and he built the suit to be just that good, yada yada yada. Not a good explanation by any means. Not actually remotely plausible. But you can reach for it to paper over those pesky that-should've-killed-him plotholes. And probably ditto with Batman. Still, I don't disagree with you that they should, by all rights, be in the same boat as the non-enhanced characters re: dying immediately of bodily trauma.

I actually like the MCU movies a lot, for the most part. But wow they are a constant challenge for my suspension-of-disbelief.

Kind of related - I was coming here to gripe about Peggy Carter falling on rebar in S2 of Agent Carter. It went through her, and at the end of the episode they took her home, a nurse patched her up, and that was fine?? The next episode did make a point of her not being able to do the rest of the mission, but I feel like the repercussions should have been worse.
