Playing With / Punched Across the Room

• Basic Trope: A character takes an especially hard blow, and goes flying.
• Straight: During Bob's fight against Emperor Evulz, Evulz punches Bob as he's charging towards him, causing him to hit the back wall.
• Exaggerated:
  • ...Which proceeds to break.
  • Megaton Punch
  • Bob hits the wall so hard, he explodes on impact.
• Downplayed: Bob takes a very hard punch from Evulz. He doesn't get sent flying, but it makes him dizzy and he stumbles awkwardly before hitting the back wall.
• Justified:
  • Evulz has Super-Strength.
  • Evulz doesn't have superpowers, but he is a heavyweight boxer.
• Inverted: Evulz punches Bob very hard, and Bob doesn't even flinch.
• Subverted: Bob was jumping back to avoid the punch; his jump was just rather awkward.
• Double Subverted: A close-up in slow motion reveals that he still got it.
• Parodied: Bob continues to fight, despite being extremely dazed from hitting the wall. He's so uncoordinated that Evulz doesn't even have the heart (or lack thereof) to finish him off.
  • Bob is sent flying so far, he goes around the world and punches Evulz in the back of the head, causing him to go flying.
• Zig-Zagged:
• Averted: Bob does not get punched especially hard.
• Enforced: Bob is extremely strong, and the writers want to show how powerful Evulz is.
• Lampshaded:
  AAAAAAARGH! *Crash* Alright, it's on now!
• Invoked: Bob tries to provoke Evulz into doing this.
• Exploited: ...To break the glass case that contains the MacGuffin he needs to defeat Evulz.
• Defied: Bob makes sure to wear heavy armor so he won't get knocked around so easily.
• Discussed:
• Conversed: "Ooh, that's gonna leave a mark!"
• Deconstructed: Bob is hurt extremely badly from hitting the wall, and it shows.
• Reconstructed: Heroic Second Wind
• Played For Laughs: Bob gets sent flying through several walls, leaving a unique Impact Silhouette for each.
• Played For Drama: Bob breaks several bones upon the very hard impact with the wall, and is now effectively at Evulz's mercy.
