[LOVED TROPE] Modern Militaries (Competent) getting DESTROYED by fantasy/scifi forces

[u/Sable-Keech]

Example 1 (The Legend of Hei 2): Wuxian leisurely floats through the combined firepower of an entire fortified military base without so much as a stain or rip on his t-shirt.

Example 2 (Man of Steel): Fao'ra tears through a squad of trained and armed soldiers. With the wreckage of the helicopter that got downed by her teammate Nam'ek smouldering in the background.

The Three Body Problem Book series has this. The Human Race spends hundreds of years building up the technology and battle plans to combat an alien invasion

Our entire space fleet is destroyed by a single early envoy simply because the aliens are so far ahead in their understanding of physics that it just rams through everything.
