Armor Is Useless: Difference between revisions
→Western Animation
Line 226:
* [[Looney Tunes|Duck Dodgers]] plays this trope straight in his [[Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century|frst confrontation]] with Marvin the Martin. He smugly announces that he is wearing a disintegration-proof vest, and [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|indeed he is]]; Marvin shoots Dodgers. Dodgers disintegrates. The undamaged vest hangs in mid-air for a moment before plopping onto the pile of Dodger's ashes.
* At the end of the ''[[Ultimate Avengers]]'' movie, when the team fights [[The Hulk]], guess who appears to be doing the least well in the fight? [[Iron Man]]. That's right, the only dude wearing any kind of outfit that would seem useful when fighting something that can rip a tank apart, is the one who seemingly does the least. This becomes somewhat ridicoulous when you realize that [[Captain America (comics)]] (who has enhanced strength and speed but is otherwise entirely human) [[Made of Iron|receives direct hits multiple times and is still conscious at the end of the fight]]. Clearly, Cap knows how to roll with a punch.
* ''[[Adventures of the Gummi Bears]]''; Duke Ignthorn's chain mail (which he is always wearing) does little to keep the pint-sized protagonists from making a fool of him again and again. Sir Tuxford is slightly more competent, but his plate armor is little better.
