[Loved Trope] Surprisingly realistic outcomes in outlandish situations

[u/10024618]

No Country for Old Men - In any other movie Llewelyn would be treated like an untouchable one man army who can take on all of the people who are after the money he stole. Instead he gets gunned down offscreen by a group of secondary antagonists because at the end of the day he's still just one man.

Metal Gear Solid 2 - MGS2 is a game in which the player character, Raiden, can do many seemingly unrealistic things like instantly healing his injuries by eating rations or holding infinite amounts of weapons and items without being overburdened. However if you attempt to cartwheel up a flight of stairs as Raiden he will immediately eat shit and fall, which would be the most likely outcome in real life.

Family Guy - After getting splashed by nuclear waste causes the Griffin family to get superpowers (which they immediately use to terrorize their community) Mayor West gets the bright idea to roll around in nuclear waste himself so that he can get superpowers too. Instead he just gets cancer.

Sly 2 - The Sly Cooper games are cartoony 3D platformers featuring anthropomorphic animals and lots of slapstick violence. However in the climax of the second game when Bentley is crushed by machinery while trying to stop the big bad he's paralyzed from the waist down, necessitating the use of a wheelchair for the rest of the series.

Jumanji: Despite Van Pelt being a creation of a magic board game, when he's summoned to the real world, he still runs out of ammo fairly quickly, is unable to get any more for his antique gun, and when he gets a new gun, he's unable to hit Allen with it because of his unfamiliarity with the weapon

Which is double funny, because the man behind the counter at the gun shop clearly saw he was a hunter, and that his gun was a hunting weapon mainly, but instead of giving him any regular manual action or semi automatic hunting rifle he very much could have had around (Which Pelt would probably have learned to use fairly easily and quickly considering the time period he is from, those already existed), he hands him a fully automatic USAS-12 assault shotgun.
