I will never understand the trope where theres a super badass, and everyone knows they’re a super badass yet a group of normal dudes are always like ‘nah I can beat him’.
It’s usually a good excuse for a writer to show off just how strong this new super badass is, in a low stakes environment. Meaning they don’t have to kill any major characters to show off, and if the group of normals is already established, it shows the power difference.
It is pretty dumb though when you think about it though.
the only valid version ive seen is when the people who were trying to fight the badass character were extremely drunk. Then again, the character was also drunk and it was a barroom brawl
