This is supposed to be a comical thread , do as you may ....







The villain jumps out of nowhere, and trains his gun on the hero.

-

The hero is unarmed, unprepared, and helpless. He can do nothing against the villain’s gun. He’s completely defenseless.

Then the idiotic villain walks up, and holds the gun right against his head.

Inevitably, the hero will do a cool move, twist the gun out of his hand, and turn it on him.

Sacré bleu! How could this happen?

In real life, that is the dumbest possible move you could make in that situation.

-

You’re holding a gun. You can shoot hundreds of feet.

He has hands. They can punch about 3 feet.

-

Even if you stand just 10 feet away, he’s helpless. Absolutely no chance. You have complete control. Why the hell would you ever put the gun against his head, within range of his hands?

Stay back, keep some space, and you have him dead to rights. He can’t do a thing.

-

Do you really think a professional assassin doesn’t know this? Or a rogue cop? Or an ex-soldier? Or literally any person with at least a minor understanding of firearms?

It’s just common sense. Keep the gun out of range of their hands. It’s super simple stuff, but apparently not simple enough for Hollywood.

LoLz. Of course in real life the villains don't give you a spiel on their world domination plans, they just blow you away but that doesn't make for a very interesting story. Stories need to have some elements that seem larger than life in other to be interesting. So let's enjoy all that James Bond shite cos we will never be James Bond IRL. Bwahahahahaha!

Despite being fictions, it interestingly isn't as easy for many (including Americans) to decipher some of the exaggerations in many western movies. This has been proven overtime by numerous scholars of media cultivation.

Ever since George Gerbner introduced the cultivation theory in the 1960’s as part of the Cultural Indicators Project to examine the influence of television on viewers, the theory has continuously proved effective in explaining how long-term or consistent exposure to media shapes the way consumers of media perceive the world and conduct themselves.

The cultivation hypothesis specifically states that: "the more television people watch, the more likely they are to hold a view of reality that is closer to television's depiction of reality"

Heavy television viewers who were respondents in a cultivation analysis survey research in America were shocked to learn to learn that policemen in US were less than 1 percent of the total population, given their prevalence in films.

To many individuals, these distorted and partial reality portrayed on television represents what the world is 'really' like.

Gerbner also coined the term mean world syndrome to describe the cognitive bias whereby television viewers exposed to violent content were more likely to see the world as more dangerous than it actually is. Good examples of these are our mental pictures of how life in dictatorship countries are.

In more recent times, researchers have delved into other forms of media such as reality TV and video games, to study the effects of the misconceptions therein on consumers.. you night want to explore that in your topic too...
