10 Movie Characters We Can’t Believe Made It Out Alive
Audiences will usually accept a certain level of plot armor in movies, but some characters should still have died before the credits rolled.
Movies don't have to conform entirely to the rules of the real world, but some characters defy all logic by surviving. Movies often use plot armor to defend their characters from certain death, and audiences will accept this up to a certain point. Plot armor is less of an affront to storytelling conventions than having the main character suddenly die halfway through the movie. This is why audiences don't tend to feel too much jeopardy when the protagonist is thrown into a life or death situation before the movie's climax. Still, there are some situations which make it hard to suspend one's disbelief.
