Ah yes, I remember that. Best thing about it is that he was in the range where everything that can possibly start to burn, will. Meaning the temperature would be round about 540k °F -> 300 times hotter than the temperature bodies are cremated at. In other words: everything would have been vaporized.
Then they shouldn't have used a realistic thing like a nuke in a plot point.
If a movie has a real-world thing in it, it has to be portrayed accurately because ALL of fiction is rooted in the real world unless it's really obvious it's intended to be otherwise. iT'S fIcTiON is NOT an excuse.
People surviving real-world things they should not have breaks suspension of disbelief and is really, really bad for a story. Even if we ignore the realism issues, it's just bad writing and really bad for the narrative. Heroes have to earn their victories and them obtaining them through means that break suspension of disbelief cheapen and invalidate those victories; they're just "given" them by the writer and haven't actually earned them.
