* In [[Firefly]], the Big Lies are gravity control and {{spoiler|[[Psychic Powers]]}}. (And perhaps a [[Reactionless Drive]], but we can't be sure.) |

* ''[[Patlabor]]'''s only "lie" is the existence of giant humanoid robots that can support their own weight, and even then it's more plausible than, say ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam|Gundam]]''.<ref>This is excepting single episodes with weirdness such as ghosts and [[Kaiju]].</ref> |

* Despite what the anime may cut off, ''[[Elfen Lied]]'' is actually very high on this scale. Both the anime and manga do not have any forms of [[Applied Phlebotinum]], [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|except in a few questionable cases]], and the manga ''justifies'' the development and appearance of Diclonii: they have an accelerated growth of a "pineal body", or "[[wikipedia:Pineal gland|pineal gland]]", which is a part of the [[wikipedia:Cerebellum|cerebellum]] and was also known as a "third eye", as well as related to [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Near-Death Experiences]]. The cerebellum is widely rumored to be a controller of the [[wikipedia:Proprioception|sixth sense]], of which [http://hanslindgreen.com/blog/proprioception-the-sixth-sense/ this page goes further in-depth]. |

* The ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]]'' movies use the Big Lie of the miniaturized Arc Reactor, a palm-sized power source that, in the words of the first movie, can "power [a] heart for fifty lifetimes... or something bigger for fifteen minutes." To a lesser extent, [[Powered Armor]] is also treated as such as this is the technology that the movies explore the consequences of - namely, that every military in the world wants one and every arms dealer wants to sell one - but it's the Arc Reactor that makes such armor possible. It's softened considerably in the context of the other [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] movies, though, as they imply that the reactor is based on a [[Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness/Science in Genre Only|Science in Genre Only]] alien artifact. |
