What is something that's actually way more fucked up in real life than movies make it seem?

1. Punching through a window - movies make it seem pretty easy, and also like you're not going to be covered deadly cuts and shards.

2. Missing work. The main characters can always focus on the unfolding drama with no concern for being AWOL at the office.

3. The way people look when they wake up in the morning.

4. Explosions. Usually the "good guy" will go flying into the air and be stunned for a little, then get back up and start heroically fighting again. IRL anyone standing close enough to an explosion to be blasted into the air would get ripped apart by shrapnel and their insides scrambled by the concussion of the blast before they get knocked back

5. In war films, where artillery/grenades/bombs hit nearby and everyone in the radius either gets hit with some dirt or is unfazed. Military munitions are designed to send metal fragments out in a large radius to shred any living thing nearby. Based on films you'd think munitions were designed so send a fireball upwards and we're only effective in a direct hit, in which they'd send bodies flailing and catapulting.

6. The whole romance thing, like when a breakup happens in a movie and a guy just keeps pulling off weird attempts to try win her back and keeps appearing in her life

7. CPR, its fucking brutal

8. When someone in a movie just casually steals a bike/car/motorcycle from a random passerby who is barely startled and sort of accepts it...it's so ridiculous.

9. Slicing your palm open for whatever blood ritual is required. That would put you out of the game! A sliced palm is really hard to heal and would require stiches. You can't just do that shit, wrap a bandage over it and then pick up your sword!

10. Falling in lava. Movies make it seem like really hot water. Lava is molten stone and has the density of stone. That means you wouldn't sink, but would float on top while your cells melt and you burning body slides across the surface in a horrifying semblance to butter melting in a pan. The ring on the other hand may sink.
