Well, what you seem to be arguing that there is room for situations that normally do not happen in real life, or are improbable, and I am not denying that.My point was about the degree that such stories are present in the Hollywood movies. My impression is they are disproportionally presented. But when you start talking about things like disproportionate, that enters the subjective area, that is why I don't see much reason to argue about it. Heck, before coming here I would have hard time believing adults would be watching the James Bond movies, let alone the LoTR... cultural gap, I presume...
The quadraplegic remark was sarcastic, not meant to be taken literally, but I don't think you should deny that is a popular Amercan theme.
