Thermal Dissonance: Difference between revisions

Since temperature doesn't transmit well through [[Show, Don't Tell|visual media]], characters who come in contact with the Thermally Dissonant object have to [[Luckily, My Powers Will Protect Me|outright state]] that it's unusually hot, cold, or body temperature. The character will touch the object and either rapidly pull away their hand commenting on it being too hot or cold, or incredulously grab it since it ''isn't'' as hot or cold as it should be. If the object is worn or carried, it ''never'' changes temperature either.

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* In ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'', John (human) has a completly different body temperature than the outwardly human Peacekeepers (who have something of a weakness to heat), which gives him away since [[Big Bad|Scorpius]] has infrared vision.

* In a typical live action [[Superhero]] series, such as ''[[Batman (TV)|Batman]]'' or ''[[The Flash (TV)|The Flash]]'', someone on a hot day suddenly finds some slick or crusty white material in a non-refrigerated environment and as they are feel it, they say in disbelief, "Ice??" Of course, that means there is a [[An Ice Person|cold themed supervillain]] on the loose for that story.
