OK, but there's also suspension of disbelief involved in a tiny tiny girl having super strength the way Buffy does. Superpowers can't break the laws of physics. She just doesn't have enough body mass to do a lot of the things we see on screen. If realism was really involved, then girls in demon fighter shows would be built more like female athletes than the tiny, super-skinny builds they seem to have.

(I'm not slagging on tiny girls in fantasy shows. It's just that we let this lack of realism go when it dovetails with TV beauty standards).

I think you misunderstand the "super" in superpowers.

I think you misunderstand force = mass x acceleration. She's not big enough to do some of the things she does with a body that size. It's fine, I suspend disbelief. However, it seems weird that this PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE THING is easier for people to accept than that a plus size person could be a good fighter.
