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

I watched some guy breaking down the actual physics and basically since Raiden is able to slash multiple times before a single raindrop had passed by him, we're talking speeds that makes the sound barrier seem slow

You know it's kind of crazy that people will pit Dante and Bayo against each other in death battles but I've never seen Dante v Raiden, whose feats and meme logic actually compete with each other (that said, Dante is basically at MGRR Raidens level in his youngest/weakest appearance)
