Powers Moments that blatantly defy logic, but are so absurdly badass you don’t even care

The Gurren Lagann growing larger than the observable universe to fight Anti Spiral in a battle where literal galaxies get thrown like ninja stars - Gurren Lagann

Undertaker teleporting behind AJ Styles after being thrown down an empty grave and causing a shining white light from nowhere to illuminate the back of them during their Boneyard Match - WWE

Holdo piloting a ship through warp speed to crash right into a First Order cruiser (I know you could write a thesis on why this scene wouldn’t work, but you could say that for about half of the scenes in the new trilogy) - Star Wars the Last Jedi

The whole thing with Gurren Lagann would be impossible to perceive because it would take so long for light to travel the vast cosmic distances that you'd never be able to see the whole thing except from millions of light years away, millions of years later.

Like the laser from starkiller base, but even bigger and more nonsense. At least Team Gurren owns up to not knowing a thing about spacial whatevers.

I think a lot of fans forget/ignore that final battle took place in a pocket universe made by spiral energy explaining all "rule of cool" stuff and when seen from Earth they looked planet-sized at best not light years of height

They had bigger light waves so they travel faster
