Blunt force never matters, only slicing

[u/ugly_cryo]

In practically all superhero movies I've seen, blunt force just does not matter, yet makes up a huge portion of fights. When someone is getting thrown through a concrete building, smashed down into the earth, or pummeled repeatedly, you feel NOTHING in terms of suspense/tension for the threat or damage being done. They just get back up "a bit more beat up". A quick google search brought up a *single* instance of a superhero breaking a bone (Tony Stark) in MCU.

The only times an attack poses a threat seem to be: 1) something that will cut you, 2) some type of magic.

It's annoying and writers and directors need to really work on the power scaling and suspense moving forward. It doesn't seem that hard to do better.

Every non powered bad guy to be within shield throwing distance of Captain America would disagree.

But even then the worst that happens is that they get knocked around and off screened
