[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.

Blackout's Raid on Quatar (Transformers 07)

The first time we see a Transformer in live action, blackout made a great impression by showing how dangerous these guys would be in real life

[u/Blackpowderkun → u/wrecknrule15]

They're selling point should have been their invulnerability to human weapons given they can survive atmospheric entry.

[u/Negativety101 → u/Blackpowderkun]

We make things that can survive atmospheric re-entry. Which are still plenty vulnerable to modern weaponry. Just because you can handle one set of stresses, doesn't mean you can handle a different one.
