This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.

** Head wounds then to bleed heavily even if they aren't very deep or severe.
** Nico tries to yell at the Kane siblings and Anubis for kind of kidnapping him... and proptly passes out since he didn't eat anything (except possibly IV fluids) in four days and is still recovering from having his soul damaged. When he wakes up in few hours, he's still out of it, being both irritable and easily distracted.
** If you spend all your time prophesizing increasingly unlikely deaths and cataclysms, people will start to think you are insane. Actually ''seeing'' those disasters will turn you insane in short time.
** For all his power, Nico is still a 12-year-old. One good hit and he goes down.
** After his run-in with Aziza, Nico develops PTSD and is trigerred when Thalia unknowingly reminds him of the event.
** Despite what Hollywood tells people, sieges consist mostly of waiting and stressing, with brief periods of fighting every few hours.
** Gut wounds are messy business that ''will'' kill you within a few hours.
