Random Species Offspring: Someone is meant to be the biological kid of their parents yet is a different species from both of them. The faces of the movie anacondas look more like the faces of vipers and other venomous snakes than actual anacondas or other pythons because the former look more intimidating. In Moonraker, Drax designs a chemical that will kill humans but not animals or plants. (A) Humans actually are animals and (B) a huge chunk of animals roaming the world have similar respiratory systems, meaning that they'd be killed too. In the Ghostbusters (1984) fanfic Massage , Egon is mentioned to have never gotten an erection outside of sex before, and that's portrayed as a sure sign he's in love. In reality, erections don't require sexual attraction; they can happen due to something touching the area, waking up in the morning, or even for no reason at all.

Scientists use a paralyzing agent to make spiders fall out of a tree in the film. Despite falling more than a hundred feet, the spiders survive. In the real world, that fall would have killed each and every spider; their bodies simply could not handle that much force. Gender Equals Breed: When two animals have children, the male children look like their father and the female children look like their mother.

Supposedly Aliens bond with their hosts at the genetic level, hence all the weird superpowers Ripley got from the genetic mutations caused by the Alien (like the corrosive blood). That doesn't make very much more sense, but hey, it's Alien. Dungeon Toilet: While the manga does offer some real information about toilets and toileting, at times it doesn't let said facts get in the way of a joke. For example, in one chapter Yotaro is shown pooping out something that was all the way up in his stomach only moments before, which would be impossible under almost anything resembling normal circumstances.

Cadance is rendered infertile by the pillar that falls on her and causes her to miscarry. An impact strong enough to cause that much damage to the female reproductive system would realistically cause much bigger problems than just sterility. And that's not even getting into the matter of the stillborn child staying in her room for the rest of the season; decomposition isn't even brought up in the slightest. Perpetual Molt: Birds, or fictional feathered species, are molting 24/7 and are rarely if ever actually missing any feathers. Dr. Holt ( A Gifted Man) had apparently never heard that you're

Batman's physical capabilities are supposedly natural, without any artificial or supernatural enhancements, but his feats are greatly embellished. For example, he's able to bench press 1,000 lbs and fight for 28 hours straight. Even when Batman's feats are within the bounds of human achievement, they will clash with each other. The physiques required to be the best powerlifter, boxer and marathon runner are all completely different. Also consider that athletes who make record-setting achievements have carefully regulated their training for weeks or months beforehand to "peak" at just the right moment to perform. One cannot stay in a constant state of peak performance. A Fanservice-crossed-with-disturbing The Lord of the Rings fic featured the protagonist sustaining the Fellowship when they ran out of food by breastfeeding them. Human females do not produce enough milk to feed nine adult males at once. Someone on a badfic-sporking community pointed out that they'd do better to kill and eat her. Even if she could produce enough milk, human breast-milk has very little nutritional value to a human older than, say, 8 years old (this being the absolute upper limit). Little Sweetheart almost avoids this, until the last few seconds. Elizabeth has taken a bullet to the arm, a bullet to the gut and then spent at least several minutes face-down in either the Pacific or the Gulf of Mexico. She's easily being moved by the ocean and she's not moving. A band-aid to the head is all you need!

Contracts– get any agreement in writing. Although a verbal contract is still a contract, there are many more details in a licensing agreement than can be readily remembered by either party, and verbal agreements are almost impossible to enforce should something go wrong. Kangaroo Pouch Ride: Characters riding in kangaroo pouches, even though real kangaroo pouches aren't exactly suitable for transportation. Hard Head: Characters who hit their heads never suffer anything more serious than a headache or dizziness. Imprinting: A baby animal mistakes someone else, usually of a different species (most often human) as their parent (usually their mother).

They don't predominantly prey on humans (though it has happened), especially after encountering life-threatening resistance each time. Poison Ivy (2022): Ivy's new plan involves the use of spores to sprout fungi in people. The issue is her powers come from the Green (plant life), whereas fungi are an element of the Grey, a completely different force. Despite this change and her not hearing the Green anymore, no mention is made of this shift, as if treating mushrooms as always in her power set.

Consummation Counterfeit: A woman pretends she's just lost her virginity by faking a bloodstain on the bed sheets, even though in real life, most women don't bleed upon losing their virginity, and women bleed down there once a month regardless of sexual status. May not be Artistic License on the author's part, depending on where and when the work is set. It was once common to use bloodstained sheets as a sign a woman had lost her virginity, so this was a thing that real women actually did: despite how silly it is.
