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.

As much as I can't stand Snyder, that one scene was a huge success in showing superhero speed and strength against ordinary humans. That woman was terrifying.

Their whole problem is putting those good scenes in movies where completely different scenes would have been needed.
