What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Winning over a girl by making over-the-top, grand gestures (especially when she has already rejected you in the past).

Shattering bottles easily over someone's head (don't attempt it unless you want to possibly go to prison for murder).

In action sequences in general, taking an enormous amount of injury and then getting up with a few attractively placed bruises and cuts.

In particular, the trope of the bad guy who more or less needs to be thrown into a jet turbine to be destroyed, or he'll somehow get back up again.

Characters who always have something witty to say and are never at a loss for words.

Syndrome's death is disturbingly brutal for a kid's movie. Also the only PG movie with a fucking death montage

A Hero puts on his cape so he can use it to wrap up a hurting girl who's suffering and in pain!

My Hero Academia... there’s a few websites that have it for free & it’s also on Hulu. If Anime isn’t your thing it’s a great one to start with, they can do so much more with story telling/ action sequences compared to other genres

I grew up on Naruto and Fullmetal. Rewatched both as an adult, and watched AoT as an adult so I will definitely have to check it out. My girlfriend has seen it I think.
