Often followed by cauterizing the wound with a hot knife or something. Good as new!
Always loved this take on that trope.

well known fact in movies that any wound, no matter how severe, will stop hurting instantly once it's been cauterized, stitched, or even just properly bandaged.Often followed by cauterizing the wound with a hot knife or something. Good as new!
Speaking of wounds, don't you just love how everytime somebody gets stabbed or shot in the gut they'll, at some point, inevitably lift up their shirt to show the audience the wound. It's always done the same way too, they carefully lift or roll their shirt up to just above their shirt, look down at the wound and wince or hiss, sometimes both. While I've never been gut shot or stabbed in the gut I don't think that I'd want to lift up shirt to take a look at it, for one, I'll probably be in too much pain to even think about it, and add to that I'm not exactly all that fond at the sight of blood, especially when it's my own.
This could generate it's own sub-thread: Have you noticed the tendency for heroes to have their wounds bandaged, over their dirty jeans. Nothing about sterile bandaging, lets show a roughly tied hankie to stem the flow of a severe arterial bleed!
Gotta love heroes who can take bullets to the shoulder or thigh and jusr keep going.
I just saw two things in less than five minutes on "The Hitman: Agent 47". First, somebody grabs the slide on a semi-auto hand gun and pulls it right off with no effort. Those things are design to not come off that easily so people don't get hurt. To remove a slide you have move the slide to a specific location and remove a pin or turn a lever.
The second one is after a shootout one of the bad guys was still alive and was about to shoot a woman. Instead of shooting the bad guy, the hit man jumped in the way.
That's because synthetic skin has tremendous sound-deadening properties. :lolAlso on bionic limbs (cyborg ones anyway), when they are covered in skin they are totally indistinguishable as robotic. As soon as the skin comes off, which it always does, all you can hear are the super loud servo motors whirring away. Surely with the skin on, someone nearby would be hearing a strange hum.
And how do bionic limbs work? They always seem to imbue the character with superhuman strength even though the bionic appendage is grafted to their regular shoulder or elbow or whatever. How can they suddenly pick up a car or throw people twice their size around the room?
1. "World is going to end" plotlines
2. Endless waves of faceless/nameless baddies
3. No heroes ever die
4. Jokes at the end of every heavy/dark scene
Oh wait! I just described every Marvel movie...
Sounds to me like someone that has worn out a copy or two of Batman v. Superman from constant rewatching
I do like BvS, at least about 80% of it. The worst thing regarding that movie was the editing/pacing. Just horrible. Just as the move was climaxing into the fight between Batman and Superman, we cut to Wonder Woman checking her email. Seriously?
On topic; I always really liked how the second Spiderman got DocOc's robot arms "right". So many film makers would have had him performing feats of strength using his regular arms and his robot ones; instead they understood that Doc was just a little sock filled with meat, that hung around in-between the 4 robo arms, and they only ever used themselves to do ripping/tearing stuff.
