That life is also going to be about ten years shorter than that of the average adult American. To survive more than a couple of seasons in the league is a guarantee of a lifetime of painful, lingering damage to battered joints, bones, and connective tissues. However, the American National Football League presents a better sampling. Punch-drunk boxers are the classic real-life example of what happens to someone who takes repeated pummeling damage in many fights year after year. Indeed, unrealistic lack of damage from head injuries is the widely prevalent subtrope Hard Head. One especially tenacious example is the lack of punch drunkenness, with Nancy Drew and Jimmy Olsen getting knocked out several times in each of any of hundreds of adventures with no long-term brain damage to show for it. Being Punched Across the Room, for example, doesn't do as much as you might think.īetween them, Made of Iron and Hollywood Healing cover the two main varieties of action hero - the Terminator-type that can walk unscathed through a bomb-blast, and the hero who gets hurt badly but somehow always manages to come back and triumph in the end. This sometimes approaches cartoon-esque extremes, such as smashing through concrete or walls. Modern special effects are somewhat to blame for this, as they make it all look more dramatic. See Hollywood Healing and Only a Flesh Wound. It also makes you wonder why, for all the supposed beatings they have received themselves over the course of a show, the hero/heroine never suffers any long-term scarring or lasting physical injury. This trope also allows our hero to take a bullet in some critical area (chest, shoulder, etc) and continue to fight as though nothing had happened, even if they should be Overdrawn At the Blood Bank. And even with normally-lethal weapons, the hero may intentionally inflict flesh wounds instead of shooting to kill. The line really gets fuzzy between Badass Normal and Charles Atlas Superpower where somehow a "normal" person has become something that does not exist in Real Life.īy extension, blunt damage, concussions, and other side effects of "non-lethal" fights or a Tap on the Head never have unintended fatal consequences - death can only happen with intentionally-lethal weapons, like swords or guns. (For example, how can someone whose sole power is throwing flame take being thrown off a multi-story building?) If someone does not literally have "increased strength and endurance" in their portfolio, then they count. It can also be argued that certain Required Secondary Powers may also induce this. Having a story-enabled reason for not being a bloody smear immediately takes one out of the running for this trope. So Robots, Mutants, Mages, Ki using Martial Artists do not count. This is the ability to shrug off blows that would disintegrate a human body when you technically shouldn't be able to. Note, this isn't Super Toughness or Nigh Invulnerability, where the character actually is supernaturally protected from harm. Nobody ever breaks a rib or other bones unless that specific broken bone becomes important later on. Simply put, damage is done to characters that really, really should hurt them but is easily shaken off. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
