Part 7/11:
The franchise is known for its high-octane, stylized action sequences that often stretch the limits of realism. Scenes involving characters stopping axes mid-swing or defying gravity evoke disbelief, but fans tend to accept these moments because of the film's consistent tone and engaging world-building.
In particular, physics-based combat, such as using an opponent's weight to their disadvantage, demonstrates clever choreography that enhances believability. However, some sequences—like a person being dropped onto a plate glass with enough force to break it—are far-fetched. Yet, the rapport the films build with audiences often allows such suspension of disbelief.
