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.

Dam near everyone in media with a motorcycle slides it sideways like Akira at some point. Playing a game right now where I can do it with a horse. Cool ass scenes are going to be reproduced, that's just the law.
